Abstract

In his interview, Ivan da Costa Marques discusses what the Social Studies of Science, Technology and Society offer as possibilities in the construction of ways out of the colonialist subalternity that surrounds the relations between Brazil and the Euro-American way of being. Through conceptual discussions and historical examples, the interviewee tries to answer how local understandings fade amid the cognitive devices that produce scientific knowledge from the Euro-American tradition, seeking other ways of “conferring legitimacy on local Brazilian knowledge rejected by modern European sciences and technologies”.
