Neutrosophic and Latin American Worldviews: An Analysis of Intercultural Dialogue from the Náhuat Indigenous Chair at UTEC

Abstract

This article provides a reflective analysis of the intercultural forum held during the Neutrosophic and Latin American Worldviews Encounter, focusing on the contributions of the Náhuat Indigenous Chair at the Technological University of El Salvador (UTEC). Drawing on philosophical and decolonial frameworks, it examines how the revitalization and promotion of the Náhuat language functions both as an act of cultural resistance and as an epistemological affirmation. The initiatives developed by the Chair—including teacher training, language certification, and various community educational projects—are analyzed as concrete manifestations of intercultural engagement. This work situates these efforts within the broader critique of historical erasure, media manipulation, and social invisibilization that have affected indigenous identities in El Salvador. It is proposed that the dialogue between neutrosophic and indigenous worldviews facilitates the construction of inclusive and plural knowledge systems capable of challenging hegemonic narratives. Integrating neutrosophic logic with ancestral worldviews opens new possibilities for rethinking education, identity, and cultural memory from a Global South perspective, strengthening the valorization of local knowledge and community participation in knowledge production and transmission processes.
