ABSTRACT

Starting from Different positions, both postabyssal thinking and knowledge as emancipation (going from a point of ignorance called colonialism to a point of knowing called solidarity), as well as subaltern cosmopolitan reason, converge in the quest for epistemologies of the South based on learning from the anti-imperial South. The epistemologies of the South are built on two main procedures: ecologies of knowledges and intercultural translation. In this chapter I focus on ecologies of knowledges.
