RESUMO

We analyzed the ideologies and negativistic discourses regarding the knowledge of indigenous peoples, theoretised and paradigmised as mere myths and beliefs or subjective notions by ethnoscientific studies, what has been used to justify and fundament exploitation, racism and prejudice against those peoples. In the last decades of XX century, we have observed a deconstruction process of such discourses from indigenous analysis made by groups organized through political identities, which aim at claiming for the right to be and exist in the world; the validity and not the truthfulness of their perspectives of knowledge. Based on a de-continuistic, de-constructivist and endogenous histographical analysis we discuss the process of institutionalization of the non-sciences against the formalizing of ethnosciences as subjects intended to approximate and represent the systems of knowledge of non-western peoples, thus making evident the ontological and epistemological emptiness of the natural sciences, social sciences and the indigenous knowledge systems. Therefore, we discuss the relation between: non-science, science, discourse, representation, power, authority and representativity, to propose the construction of a counter-history from counter-discourses by means of a trans-subject dialogue or dialogue of knowledges based on some diversity ethics in the relations society-nature and societies-societies
