Abstract
The article reflects about the formulations around the "southern epistemologies", elaborated by sociologist Portuguese Boaventura de Sousa Santos. The objective is to clarify the key concepts of his current thinking, such as: "abyssal line", "sociology of absences", "sociology of emergencies", "ecology of knowledge", "intercultural translation" and "artesian of practices". The author advocates for a "cognitive justice" and argues that, to achieve it, it is essential that there be a reformulation of westernocentric epistemological perspectives, with a view to including other ontologies and other forms of knowledge construction, non-extractivists, anticapitalisms and antipatriarchal. This strategy aims to build new ways of doing science and circumventing the epistemicide carried out by the conventional model. To this end, a literature review was carried out on the author's last works published in Brazil. With emphasis on the contributions of the book, "The end of the cognitive empire: The affirmation of southern epistemologies" (2022a).
