ABSTRACT
[...]a panel was organized at the international Conference "Globalisations et circulations des idées, des savoirs et des normes" [Globalization and circulation of ideas, knowledge, and norms] in September 2019 in Paris6. All the contributors to this special edition have participated in one of these events and committed themselves to continue this reflection collectively. [...]despite the variety of locations, languages (English, French and Spanish), and disciplines (sociology, anthropology, political science, and history), the papers, and their authors, speak to one another. [...]we discuss the specificity of gender knowledge as it is produced in the Global South and whether it is "different" or "similar" (Bilgin) and the limits and difficulty of reconstructing the canon from this perspective. Social Sciences and the (De)construction of Power Colonialism relied heavily on the collection of information and the production of knowledge (Said, Orientalism). [...]the formal decolonization of the Global South did not result in the decolonization of knowledge (Keim).
