In this paper we are dealing with globalization in his hegemonic face. We started from a brief resumption of the European geographic and cultural expansion into the conquered lands. It has in hegemonic globalization its contemporary form. The United States of America was added to this protagonism of domination. Following this, we present Boaventura de Souza Santos’ analysis of the globalization process, as a paradigmatic expression of the current epistemological approach. Aesthetically we position ourselves from the periphery of the oppressed’s culture, which cannot be understood from an epistemologically perspective only. Our living with domination gives us the aesthetical and peripheral view, sharing in the reading of the dominated ones, as done by Paulo Freire in his Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
