About ALICE, Strange Mirrors
ALICE is a research project coordinated by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and financed by the European Research Council (ERC). ALICE is a project that seeks to re-think and renovate socio-scientific knowledge by drawing upon “Epistemologies of the South. The objective is to develop new theoretical and political paradigms of social transformation. Throughout Europe and the Global North as a whole, there is a sentiment of intellectual and political exhaustion. ALICE Team, June 2012 Over a decade into the 21st Century, such exhaustion translates into the incapacity to innovatively confront various challenges that interpellate the world and impeded upon justice : social, environmental, inter-generational, cultural, historical and cognitive justice. In contrast, the Global South, in its immense diversity, presents itself today as a wide field of economic, social, cultural, and political innovation. ALICE is grounded on a wager, i.e, that social, political and institutional change may largely benefit from the innovations occurring in countries and regions of the Global South. A demanding wager, to be sure, for it presupposes availability for mutual recognition, intercultural understanding, political and ideological convergence, respect for identity, and celebration of diversity.
