Abstract

This essay presents some decolonial contributions to research methodology, questioning the dichotomies present in knowledge production, through the recognition of a geopolitics of knowledge woven from existential territories forged in the heart of the colonial wound. It is suggested that the exercise of the researcher’s place in peripheral contexts occurs when done attentively to its impossibility, that is, from the position of an “insider outsider,” through the decolonization of affections and epistemic disobedience, from an epistemological terrain in which border thinking is exercised.
