Abstract

In recent years, we have advanced to discuss respect for the de-coloniality of knowledge, studies about subalternities, epistemologies of the south, and we can still see that in practice, the academy perpetuates the eurocentric, white, cisgender, heterocentric and masculine academic ethos. Therefore, we intend to propose a debate, from a feminist de-colonial perspective, to the importance of thinking about positional subjects, specifically, in the anthropological making, reflecting on a discipline born thinking about an intersubjective process of relationship with differentiation based on colonial power relations that are raised in question from other knowledge.
