STRIEDER, Roque  and  LAGO, Clenio. Shadows of violence: premises hidden in epistemologies. Roteiro. UNOESC [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.2, pp.527-560. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v43i2.15734.

There is something disconcerting in the human trajectory, for even wishing good and happiness, we tolerate and preserve attitudes of violence. Historically violence has generated significant degrees of pain and suffering. The contemporary human, within civilization, lives surrounded by ambiguities, paradoxes and inequalities, which express and renew forms of violence. We meet again with horrors, anguish, and hopelessness from before, and stretch them to tomorrow. Faced with these scenarios, rooted in violence of multiple shades, the horizon of work is to shed light reflecting on epistemology amid the emergencies of different emotionalities and rationalities. Thus, into the inflections of the complexity of the human condition, we ask: how are violence and epistemology articulated and how can an epistemological dimension be constituted beyond being violent expression and violence? Different possibilities are presented to reflect, discuss and deal with one of the inglorious faces of the human dimension: the capacity to exercise and to exercise in violence in the scope of knowing. We conclude that the desecration of epistemologies that pervade violence, to restore any human being, without essence or destiny to rise, in a community that comes, hesitating between the singularity and the universal is a task of formation that comes, anchored in a knowing beyond fragmentation and systematic mechanisms.
