Ciência da ignorância ou ignorância da ciência? Agnotologia e Ladinoamefricanidade a partir de experiências brasileiras e colombianas

Abstract

This article, of a theoretical / methodological nature, interpretative and bibliographical, aims to provide a critical discussion about the cult of ignorance and ignorance of knowledge, starting from examples of socio - historical facts occurred mainly in Brazilian and Colombian territory. The research problem is based on the following question: who or what social groups, ignoring questions of gender and ethnicity / race, while thinking about the knowledge produced in universities and the formation of future academics, contribute not only to perpetuate the ignorance of science hidden by neutrality, impartiality, and objectivity, but also not to allow certain subjects to enter these spaces? In order to meet the proposed objective and the research problem, among other concepts, the concept of Agnotology and Ladinoamefricanidade, presented by the American scientist Robert Proctor and the Brazilian scientist Lelia Gonzales, are presented. It is understood that these two articulated concepts offer other possibilities of questioning, as subjects, society, and academia: how long will the ignorances of science be promoted from the science of ignorance?
