Abstract

The article builds on the general topic of Latin American academics living their profession while building their research objects from the experience of displacement, thus leaving their place of origin. First, I make a typological characterization of the historical forms of the intellectual "way out" in Latin America. Then, I draw a profile of the current emigrated academic, which intends to be an ideal type; although it may be biased by my personal experience. Secondly, the article focuses on my biography through my own academic practices, rebuilding my displacements from three geographic angles and the boundaries of the academic disciplines in which I was formed. The latter serves to compose a parallax that shapes the research objects according to its positions.
