Abstract
The hegemonic communities themselves will doubtless have to consider the system of representation of otherness on which the demands, pretensions and, ultimately, identity of the latter are structured. Such a course of action will not necessarily be represented as a consequence of an express volition on the part of the former. Indeed, the perceived natural, innate and universal condition that their own quietist ethos carries within itself would be the one that, in itself, would attempt against any dialogic possibility with such otherness. Throughout the present work it was debated under what assumptions the already mentioned closed and insular character of the hegemonic communities could be amalgamated, in such a way that the dictum of the otherness could be known even though the customary ascendancy of the former could hardly be avoided.
