With this reflection that is erected as a theoretical babbling (ACHUGAR, 2006), the objective of showing a border critical-biographical reading, from the transgressive discourse that is evoked by the writer of Minas Gerais, Silviano Santiago, above all in its conceptualization of the between-place of Latin American discourse, which points to an opening to the postcolonial debate that can relate to the Walter Mignolo's epistemic disobedience, this discourse is erected from marginal culture and bodies that eventually become inconvenient (SANTIAGO, 2019) socially established standards. From such indications it is possible to glimpse all the relevance of erecting such reflection, engendering in this conceptual debate another thought, in an approach that is based on decolonial studies, that takes into account the bios and locus from which these discourses emerge, thus incorporating the thought that emerges in and from the border and my own bios, my status as a researcher and a black man. Imprecating a reflection that is based on epistemic disobedience (MIGNOLO), through a discussion in the light of the concepts of Edgar Cézar Nolasco, Boaventura Santos and Walter Mignolo. With this intent, the importance of erecting readings based on frontier thinking is evidenced, because it is clear that from the inconveniences of transgressive bodies emerge dissonar voices as political resistance (SANTIAGO, 2019) in search of (re)exist, so that they reinforce the urgency of learning to unlearn to relearn in another way.
