This paper aims to introduce, in the context of Latin America, the theoretical epistemic discussion regarding the theme of the ‘common’ as a political principle which substantiates instituting and autonomous processes of government, control and community regulation. The work seeks to relate a democratic scenario of the ‘common’ with the discourses of pluralist and decolonial normativity, in a way that would guarantee not only horizontal communal self-management, but also a legitimate ordering of forms of life, founded on common interest, social relations and interconnected structures. For this purpose the instrument of critical-socio-legal analysis is applied at the intersections with the ‘participative-communitary’ type of legal pluralism. Our proposal is to combine the contemporary meaning of the ‘common’, its relation to the Latin American principles of ‘buen vivir’ (living well) and ‘interculturalidade’ (interculturality), as well as the instituting practice of the ‘common’, that engenders a normativity built ‘from below’, which is in opposition to the traditional positivist and state legal system imposed through colonization in Latin America. Such achievements that, although formalized, are not being successful against institutional ruptures, have ‘cloistered’ the practices of the ‘common’ and made the existence of legal pluralism invisible.

本文的目的是在拉丁美洲的背景下，介绍关于“公共”这一政治原则的理论认识论讨论，该主题证实了政府，控制和社区规制的制度化和自主性过程。该工作力图将“共同”的民主情景与多元主义和殖民主义规范性话语联系起来，从而不仅要保证水平的社区自我管理，而且要保证建立在共同利益基础上的生活形式的合法秩序。 ，社会关系和相互联系的结构。为此目的，批判性社会法律分析工具被用于与“参与性，社区性”类型的法律多元性相交的地方。我们的建议是结合“共同”的当代含义，buen vivir（生活良好）和interculturalidade（跨文化性），以及“共同”的惯用做法，导致“自下而上”建立规范，这与强加于传统的实证主义和国家法律体系相反通过在拉丁美洲的殖民化。这些成就尽管形式化，但在克服体制破裂方面并未取得成功，却“封闭”了“共同”的做法，并使法律多元化的存在不可见。
