Resumo
In this article, we discuss how the Eurocentric model of knowledge
production marginalizes other epistemologies in the name of the alleged
neutrality and rationality established by the geopolitics of knowledge in
the modern/colonial world. We are thus interested in discuss how epistemic
violence is perpetuated, mainly, by the structuring of the university itself.
From a brief analysis of methodology manuals of scientific work, we
seek to point out how texts transmitted in academic space perpetuate the
supremacy of Eurocentric knowledge. We argue, therefore, that academic
writing is a tool that sustains and strongly maintains epistemic violence in
the university, excluding other identities, subjectivities, and knowledge.
In this sense, we point to critical interculturality as a viable perspective
for building a more democratic university committed to the cultural and
epistemological plurality in the world.
