These studies open the opportunity to rework on what modernity and development mean and they allow us to close some gaps between local processes on the worlds’ peripheries and western realities. In other words, It might let us explore how some colombian grandmother “superstitions “ are as modern as a surrealist poem or a thermometer and for that reason if we approach those neglected realities we can resignify what it means to be modern.

Correcting the language is easy, as there are only minor tweaks. I have two concerns though. The sentences are too long, with too many clauses. Only an academic in the relevant field can understand this. If academics are your target audience then I am sure you have at least a Masters. If you want to explain to people generally, then I would suggest writing in shorter sentences. One or two points a sentence is enough. Your paragraphs will be longer, but easier to read.
