Synopsis "Decolonizing the Thesis and the Research Project (in English)"
The western/eurocentric/colonial way of structuring research projects and undergraduate, master's and doctoral theses, in rigid, schematic and dogmatic components, does not account for the flow and spontaneity of the process of configuration of situated and contextualized knowledge and knowledges. In this sense, it is urgent to get rid of colonial notions such as: theoretical framework, title of the thesis, table of contents, problem statement, research justification, research background, epistemological paradigm, methodology and bibliographical references. In other words, we must feel/think/do with our own notions and not import Eurocentric categories. We must go beyond the traditional way of structuring such processes and documents.
