This essay proposes the hypothesis that, in an educational context, anti-Cartesian foundations on knowledge offer possibilities for subverting technologies to cool the structures of oppression, control and domination. Using a literature review methodology, the essay relates subjects such as cognitive science and decolonial studies to consider two cases of educational technologies and their political implications. To achieve these objectives, the text is divided into three parts. The first of them describes the notion of knowledge, the basis for any discussion about learning or teaching, in the context of the area of cognitive science. Three distinct concepts of knowledge are presented. Among them, the youngest can be more properly considered as anti-Cartesian.The next stage discusses the relationship between educational tools from different times and their Cartesian conceptual foundations as definers of their policies and histories of use. In this section, the text relates concepts of phenomenology, enactionism and decoloniality when analyzing aspects of the use of two educational technologies: the blackboard and a cell phone application for literacy.A third part presents relationships and conclusions about possibilities for subversion of the colonizing order. At this stage, the text seeks to present a path of emancipation through disobedience and the creation of ways of using educational tools for telling one's own stories on the periphery of capitalism.

Keywords : Knowledge; Education and technologies; Enactionism; Decoloniality..
