Answer 1

Furthermore, it is relevant to mention that epistemologies may

not be a model, but they should work as a possibility to innovate

according to the local, as Dosse’s (1999, p. 352) points out “It is by

transgressing the great divisions between practices and theories that

science invents. An epistemology is elaborated in the course of this

process, but in an experimental form.” Thus, the project of this book

is as epistemological as political, an attempt to show how possible

it is to work with decolonizing practices, as Sousa Santos (2018)

highlights: “An epistemological shift is necessary in order to recover the

idea that there are alternatives and indeed to recognize, as the bearers

of potential alternatives, the struggles against oppression that continue

to be fought in the world.”
