(Epistemologies of the South) is a theoretical and political framework proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos . It challenges the dominance of Western, Eurocentric knowledge and seeks to validate the "forgotten" wisdom of marginalized groups who have resisted capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy . Core Pillars

: Using these pluralistic forms of knowledge to fuel resistance and create more inclusive societies.

💡 : It asks us to "learn that there is a South, learn how to go to the South, and learn from and with the South."

: Promotes a horizontal dialogue between scientific knowledge and other forms of knowledge (indigenous, popular, traditional) without one dominating the other.

: A tool to find common ground between different cultures and their unique ways of expressing social emancipation. Purpose and Impact

: "The South" is a metaphor for the systemic suffering of those oppressed by imperial logic, regardless of their physical location.
