Based on data retrieved from Virgínia Bicudo’s life story, we aim, in this essay, to explain the intersections between the author’s academic contributions and her experience as a black woman, comparing these aspects from the perspective of Patricia Hill Collins’s concept of ‘outsider within’. The objective is to demonstrate that the author, due to the adoption of a biopsychosocial conception of the human being, both in the social sciences and in psychoanalysis, can be seen as an ‘outsider within’, for having built a critical and counter-hegemonic social theory from the concerns about the Brazilian social reality arising from her own experience. This perspective is attested in the recent recovery of her legacy, including the critique of silencing processes embedded in intersectional oppressions, to which her production was subjected.

Palabras clave : outsider within; black feminism; Virgínia Bicudo; decoloniality.
