EPISTEMOLOGIA DA ESCUTA

ENSAIO PARA UMA TEORIA COMUNICACIONAL DESDE A AMAZÔNIA

Abstract

This article presents initial contributions toward the design of an Epistemology of Listening as a situated communicational framework emerging from Amazonian territories and from the communicational practices of Indigenous women and guardians of ancestral knowledge. Drawing on Indigenous authors, Latin American thinkers, and decolonial perspectives, it argues that listening shifts the centrality of emission and asserts itself as a way of knowing, existing, and researching. A preliminary framework grounded in presence, reciprocity, and care is proposed, positioning listening as an epistemological category, method, and political horizon for Communication studies.
