Abstract
The study problematizes: how do the productions of knowledge occur? Who produces what? Why do they produce? Who are the black female professors and what do they produce at university? Search for afrocentric traces, analyzing the epistemic resistance of black female professors, based on their voices. It is based on postcolonial and decolonial theories, intercrossing productions that criticize eurocentric hegemonic thoughts. The results evidence ways of: 1) transcending scientific epistemologies, emphasizing the theoretical positions produced in contexts of subjugation and coloniality of being, knowing and power (QUIJANO, 2005) and, 2) producing other access routes with new forms of intelligibility (JAPIASSU, 1992) that help in the composition of questioning and complementary territories of modern rationality.
