Resumen

La promoción de Pacioli como tecnócrata, desconoce intencionalmente los aspectos sociales de su trabajo y otros textos antiguos, pues constituyen una visión eurocéntrica y post-colonial, que unge al italiano como pionero contable y señala a otras civilizaciones como subdesarrolladas, premodernas, y hasta bárbaras, a las que se puede invadir, ocupar y ‘salvar’. Este documento, en contraste con la sabiduría ortodoxa, busca redimir la noción de ‘Contaduría’ de Littleton, para que abarque las prácticas contables de diferentes formaciones sociales antiguas y contemporáneas. Así, proponemos sepultar a Pacioli el tenedor, y redimir a Pacioli el actor social, mediante la explicación del incipiente contenido social, cultural y político de su obra, el cual es más explícito en los registros pre-paciolianos, particularmente aquellos de África, que se remontan a los albores de la civilización.
