| Sumario: | This article aims to analyze an intellectual movement that problematizes the process, "efficiency" and externalities of research results in social sciences in Latin America. A bibliographical survey was carried out of texts by prominent Latin American intellectuals from this movement. The main proposals and criticisms of this movement are: 1) to deconstruct the trap of hegemonic knowledge that unbalances what makes visible and invisible, notably in facts of redistribution, maneuvering social consensus; 2) to invert the usual logic of the efficiency of investigations, minimizing their character of being at the service of the capitalist modernizing bet; 3) to change the aesthetic standards in Brazilian science, abandoning the privileged taste for exotic (Euro-North American-centric) methods and standards; 4) to immunize intellectuals against the defeatism of frustrated programming on the continent; 5) to insist on the deeper causes of social problems, not content with the closest and most obvious ones. |
