About

Epistemologies of the South put into question, on the one hand, the epistemological interventions that have generated the suppression of knowledges over the past centuries, as a result of the imposition of the dominant epistemological norm; on the other hand, they value the knowledges that successfully resisted and the reflections that these have produced and research the conditions of a horizontal dialogue between knowledges.

In this sense, summoning various themes, research and struggles, the seminar series “Consolidating the Epistemologies of the South” aims to promote a space for the exchange of knowledges and mutual learnings. The intention is twofold, on the one hand, aiming towards a  dialogue capable of problematizing silences, absences and incommunicabilities, and on the other, aiming towards a space capable of creating acknowledgements, translations for the sake of an alternative thinking of alternatives.   

This initiative is organised under the series "Constructing  the Epistemologies of the South", organised by the research group alice-CES.
