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.
