Abstract

An increasing number of academic scholars have been espousing a decolonial stance, seeking to address the so-called coloniality of power/knowledge. Yet, this path is far from cleared in critical management research and education, where we find a substantial number of studies bringing post-colonial arguments to the debate, but very few engaging with decolonial thinking. In this essay, we highlight the contribution of Paulo Freire to the decolonial debate through the concept of metodologia otra, a notion that questions the hegemony of Western-based methodologies and challenges the modern/colonial matrix by carving out spaces for those who have suffered a long history of oppression and marginalization to communicate from their own frames of reference. We argue that more than being critical, reflexive, or dialogical, a concrete engagement with decoloniality means mobilizing radical principles such as learning to unlearn, escrevivência, interculturality, and corazonar/sentipensar. Although Freire’s contribution to the construction of metodologia otra was original and pivotal, this contribution is poorly known. By salvaging Freire’s contribution in this special issue, we move decolonial concepts and values from the margins to the center of postcolonial debates within critical management studies and critical management education communities.
另一种方法:用保罗-弗莱雷和非殖民化思想挑战现代/殖民矩阵
越来越多的学术界学者支持非殖民主义立场,寻求解决所谓的权力/知识殖民主义问题。然而,在批判性管理研究和教育领域,这条道路还远未畅通,我们发现有相当数量的研究将后殖民论点引入辩论,但很少有研究涉及非殖民主义思想。在这篇文章中,我们强调了保罗-弗莱雷(Paulo Freire)通过 "另一种方法"(metodologia otra)这一概念对非殖民主义辩论的贡献,这一概念质疑西方方法论的霸权,并挑战现代/殖民矩阵,为那些长期遭受压迫和边缘化的人开辟空间,让他们从自己的参照系中进行交流。我们认为,除了批判性、反思性或对话性之外,与非殖民化的具体接触还意味着调动激进的原则,如学会放弃学习、escrevivência、跨文化性和 corazonar/sentipensar。尽管弗莱雷对构建 "另一种元理论"(metodologia otra)做出了原创性和关键性的贡献,但这一贡献却鲜为人知。通过在本特刊中抢救弗莱雷的贡献,我们将非殖民化概念和价值观从批判性管理研究和批判性管理教育界后殖民辩论的边缘推向了中心。
