The thesis which follows, entitled ''The Postoccidental Deconstruction and Resignification of 'Modemity': A Critical Analysis", is an exposition and criticism of the critique of occidental modemity found in a group of writings which identify their critique with a "postoccidental" point of view with respect to postcolonial studies. The general problem ofthe investigation concems the significance and reach ofthis critique of modemity in relation to the ongoing debate, in Latín American studies, about the historical relationship between Latín America, as a mu1ticultural/ structurally heterogeneous region, and the industrial societies of Euro pe and North America. A brief Preface explains the genealogy of the author's ideas on this subject Following this preface, the thesis proceeds to analyze the writings in this corpus through an intertextual, schematic approach which singles out two rnajor elements of the postoccidental critique: "coloniality" and "eurocentrism". These two main elements are investigated in the Introduction and Chapters One and Two, in terms of how they distinguish postoccidental analysis from other theoretical tendencias with which it has affinities but whose key concepts it reformu1ates in ways that are key to the unique approach which postoccidental analysis takes to modemity, the nature of the capitalist world system, colonialism, subaltemization, center/periphery and development . Chapter Three attempts a critical analysis of the foregoing postoccidentalist deconstruction according to the following question: to what extent does it succeed in deconstructing "modernity" as a term which refers to a historically articulated set of discourses whose underlying purpose has been to justify European and North American hegemony and structural asymmetries vis-a-vis the peripheries of the capitalist world system, based on an ethnocentric, racialist logic of exploitation and subalternization of non-European peoples? A Conclusion follows Chapter Three.

El Tratado de Adhesion firmado por Venezuela con MERCOSUR en 2006 adopta los principios de gradualismo, flexibilidad, equilibrio, reconocimiento de las asimetrías y trato diferencial. Las asimetrías pueden causar externalidades negativas, así como también pueden tener el potencial de promover el proceso de integración en una forma dialéctica. Esta es una de las premisas que guía este artículo. En este trabajo se analizarán las características de las asimetrías en MERCOSUR, cómo afecta la admisión de Venezuela a esta situación, el tratamiento dado a las asimetrías en MERCOSUR vis à vis la UE, y el tipo de instituciones que gestionan las asimetrías en MERCOSUR.
