Abstract

This paper is part of a reflection of a doctorate research proposal that address the insurgent knowledges as strategies of resistant against the process of current colonialism, considering a critical and decolonial approach taking into account our own fissure--but in our favour- of academic arena. Considering the Colonialism of power, of knowledge and of being, the focus is on insurgent wisdoms, which provide an emancipatory possibility against that colonialism that seeks to bend the vital force of the people of Abya-Yala prohibiting their thinking and location of themselves within a place in the planet, human life and the cosmos (Walsh, 2009; Veras de Souza, 2017). These understandings are researched recognising spiritual and political forces as immanent dimensions of insurgent knowledge (Guerrero, 2012). The doctoral work analyses conversations with local actors from the Noke Kui villages of Río Campinas and Río Gregório (Andean Amazon of Brazil), and of the Puelwillimapu Territorial Alliance (Wallmapu, Mapuche Country). Furthermore, the investigation as a means of approximation to understanding, welcomes the methodological proposal of the affectation comprised within the field work -ÊtreAffecté (Favret-Saada, 2005). Therefore, the idea of embracing communication includes the reflection and recognition of a metacognitive experience of self-reference and self-conscious as well as of 'being affected'.
