About the Journal

Our proposal is a proactive and collaborative approach. This means that seeking epistemological alternatives should not imply the radical rejection of the knowledge consolidated in the ethnocentric tradition of the colonial process. On the contrary, it involves an expansion of the epistemic horizon. We propose to search for epistemologies that reflect the experiences and perspectives of colonized communities and, at the same time, consider their plausibilities in the current world. We are talking about "possible" worlds that seek to overcome imposed norms, such as patriarchy, heteronormativity, or the dichotomy between modern and backward, high or low culture, center-periphery, among others. Always with a perspective that considers the core of musicological work: the understanding of sociocultural processes through musical language, whether from the Western tradition or not, written or oral, academic or commercial, central or peripheral.
