Abstract
Postcolonial studies emerge as an interdisciplinary perspective that examines power relations, cultural dynamics, and the enduring legacies of colonialism in the humanities, challenging hegemonic narratives and expanding the debate to include marginalized voices from the “rest of the world.” This article investigates the persistence of cognitive colonization between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, drawing on the Zapatista concept of the long night of 500 years to reveal how knowledge from the Global South remains subjugated to European theoretical frameworks. The coloniality of knowledge reinforces epistemic hierarchies that silence epistemes, while scholars propose epistemologies of the South and an ecology of knowledges as alternatives. The analysis also explores the intersections between gender and coloniality, emphasizing how decolonial feminism confronts the exclusion of women. Building on Sérgio Costa's work, we discuss the contributions of postcolonial studies to sociology by deconstructing the West/Rest dichotomy and advocating for hybrid enunciative positions.
