Resumo: | A key challenge for applied linguistics is how to deal with the historical power imbalance in knowledge production between the global north and south. A central objective of critical applied linguistics has been to provide new epistemological foundations that address this problem, through the lenses of post-colonial theory, for example. This article shows how the structure of academic writing, even within critical traditions, can reinforce unequal transnational relations of knowledge. Analysis of Brazilian theses and publications that draw on the multiliteracies framework identifies a series of discursive moves that constitute “hidden features” (STREET, 2009), positioning “northern” theory as universal and “southern” empirical applications as locally bounded. The article offers a set of questions for critical reflection during the writing process, contributing to the literature on academic literacies. |

Um objetivo central da Linguística Aplicada Crítica tem sido providenciar novas bases epistemológicas para enfrentar esse problema, por meio de perspectivas pós-coloniais, por exemplo. Este artigo mostra como a estrutura da escrita acadêmica, mesmo dentro de tradições críticas, pode reforçar relações de conhecimento desiguais. A análise de teses e publicações brasileiras que se apoiam no quadro teórico dos multiletramentos identifica uma série de movimentos discursivos que configuram “elementos ocultos” (STREET, 2009), posicionando a teoria do “norte” como universal e aplicações empíricas no “sul” como localmente restritas. O artigo oferece um conjunto de perguntas para reflexão crítica durante o processo de escrever, contribuindo à literatura sobre letramentos acadêmicos.Todo o conteúdo deste periódico, exceto onde está identificado, está licenciado sob uma Licença Creative Commons Atribuição 4.0 Internacional que permite copiar, distribuir e transmitir o trabalho, desde que seja citado o autor e licenciante.

A key challenge for applied linguistics is how to deal with the historical power imbalance in knowledge production between the global north and south. A central objective of critical applied linguistics has been to provide new epistemological foundations that address this problem, through the lenses of post-colonial theory, for example. This article shows how the structure of academic writing, even within critical traditions, can reinforce unequal transnational relations of knowledge. Analysis of Brazilian theses and publications that draw on the multiliteracies framework identifies a series of discursive moves that constitute “hidden features” (STREET, 2009), positioning “northern” theory as universal and “southern” empirical applications as locally bounded.
