Abstract
We write from the discomfort, from the need to question our political practices against the use of social constructions that do not belong to a person but are a legacy built collectively, silently and with patience. How can we use radical conceptions about territories born and produced in Latin American contexts, when we do not academically situate ourselves within these contexts? If concepts transmute, transform and migrate, how can we consider a respectful use of ideas with a fundamental regional/socio-cultural legacy? How can the geopolitics of knowledge creation be built with relationships of respect, reciprocity and care? How do critical scholars navigate these questions in the time of decolonizing knowledge? These are some questions we raise in the chapter.
