Abstract
This chapter puts Boaventura de Sousa Santos’s epistemologies of the South in the broader context of the social sciences and the humanities. Besides articulating scientific and vernacular knowledge under the same epistemological logic, the ecology of knowledges must also embrace poetry (in its broadest sense) to supplement sociological knowledge. As the chapter argues, Santos’s oeuvre as a whole, including both his scholarly work and his books of poetry, is in itself an eloquent illustration of his scientific concepts.
