In turn, that dominant idea permeated the movements that claimed the idea of social emancipation, which developed their theoretical sustenance on the idea of a world that overcomes injustices through an inevitable historical becoming, However, that becoming is, until today, in debt, and  there is still a lack of better understanding of the dynamic of movements that looks for social emancipation, which means, we are observing a saturation of human Sciences and a lack of new emancipators paradigms.
