Abstract

LIMA, Alexandre Bonetti  and  CEDENO, Alejandra Astrid León. Neo-colonization and violence: "ciranding" a net of emancipatory knowledge. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2021.v15.29538.

Based on decolonialist authors, this essay seeks to outline theoretical and conceptual reflections on the links between neocolonialism and violence in Brazil. We signal the presence of sociability marked by violence and naturalized as an effect of historical matrices arising from the colonization process and from Eurocentric thinking, which remain materialized in the country's social framework. As Mignolo (2010) said, coloniality is the invisible side of modernity, although crucial for its development and reproduction. Since this observation, the essay is oriented towards presenting different possibilities of experiences and forms of knowledge that shelter and illuminate a rich diversity of epistemologies, knowledge and praxis that are invisible and wasted by an exclusive world-system. The article seeks, then, to show that, in the midst of the violence of the neocolonial scenario that enmesh us, a diversity of potent, critical and creative knowledge and actions is articulated that potentially propitiate the creation of a network of southern epistemologies in order to develop the that Mignolo (2010) defines as a grammar of non-coloniality.

Keywords : Violence; Coloniality; Decoloniality; Subjectivity; Ciranding.
