ABSTRACT
The increase in the number of Latin American intellectuals affiliated with the new mobilities paradigm is concomitant with an internationalization of scientific production that broadens the global circuits of researchers and academic literature. In spite of that, on the one hand, studies on the new mobilities are still dominated by concepts, models, theories, researchers, and writings originating in the Anglo-Saxon world, and on the other hand, they have not had their fundamental books and articles translated into Spanish or Portuguese. The new mobilities paradigm, therefore, is permeated by asymmetries of power that are characteristic of the modern-colonial matrix of scientific production, which create unequal circuits of production and diffusion of knowledge and restrict its application by those whose native language is not English. Based on the decolonial theory, I will use the concept of geopolitics of knowledge to point out the effort of Brazilian scholars to make the NPM known and applied in Brazilian studies.
