Abstract
In this article, we analyze the community critical-discursive ethical principle of validity - the antihegemonic validity of the community of victims - of Enrique Dussel, in “Ethics of Liberation”, placing it in dialogue with Paulo Freire, Antonio Gramsci and Ernst Bloch. In this principle, there is the duty to argue that the excluded must speak and be heard both to denounce the denial of his life by the hegemonic order and to announce other possible projects. Based on this discussion, we question the possibilities posed by the previous free and informed consultation mechanism provided for in ILO Convention 169 as an instrument to make the voices of the victims of globalization heard, more specifically, of indigenous and traditional peoples in Brazil, who are threatened by the actions of corporations and the state.
