Dissident Epistemologies

Abstract

An article on dissident epistemologies that itself stands as a dissident epistemology. Written by a person who, to begin with, declares themselves as not-a-person but rather as someone who speaks as a collective assemblage of enunciation. Epistemologies are conceived as something inseparable from the bodies that produce them, therefore as something more complex than just intellectual knowledge. Dissidents are those who think in other ways and who deviate from the hegemonic idea of the European colonizer of understanding knowledge as, objective, neutral, impartial and universal. Dissident epistemologies are then partial, always made from a certain perspective, non-universal, subjective and political. They are the voices of the minorities that affirm other worlds to come. The companions on this journey are Nietzsche, Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and other genius poets.
