"Glocal" languages and North-South epistemologies: Plurilingual and intercultural relationships

Abstract

This chapter builds upon the idea that there have been different knowledge-producing frameworks in the world, profiting from and resisting the unequal relations of power, which correspond to different world and life visions. Science and academia have been reproducing a successful model, one that originated in European history and was formalized during the Enlightenment, and which has since remained unquestioned, and was exported worldwide during colonialism.
