Furthermore, the interest of the researcher is depicting the features this socia intervention comprises in terms of transnational government, modern subject idea and the epistemological difficulties of trying to recover and to produce alternative knowledge from enlightened thoughts. In this sense, and since this research opens a problematization field of social interventions that proceed from both the academy and the Others, the author highlights the need of contributing to the modernity/ coloniality debate by inquiring this and similar practices
