“AS NÃO AUSENTES”: OLHAR INTERSECCIONAL PARA A ECOLOGIA DE SABERES

Abstract

In opposition to Westernized narratives about science and objectivity, responsible for the subordination of peoples by the mechanism of the coloniality of knowledge, we discuss possibilities of looking at the production of scientific knowledge considering contexts and knowledge from “other bodies”. Based on Southern Epistemologies in a revisitation of the Ecology of Knowledge, we use intersectionality as a category of analysis, to deepen discussions brought from within sciences by feminist epistemologies, in a movement to reveal the epistemological potency present in the actions of subjects crossed by social markers , as class and race. We intend with this article to understand how these basic issues can contribute with announcements for the epistemological discussion, in Science Education that is anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-homophobic in accordance with the assumptions of human rights.
