GAUTHIER, Jacques. Cultural interferences: the integral researcher in loving emptiness. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2014, n.37, pp.15-29. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/DOI10.20435/2318-1982-2014-v.37(02).

Based on the concepts of Loving Surveillance and Loving Emptiness we seek ethical and epistemological orientations for intercultural research. The symbol gives access to both moonlight and cruel aspects of knowledge, ignored by euro-descendant science, but present in the afro-descendant and indigenous epistemologies, as Oxum and Ounce. Hence the expansion of eurodescendant solar epistemology for Native and African energetic connections, towards the formation of the Integral Researcher, who integrates the Cruel and the Affectionate in a way of Thinking-with-the-Heart. Intercultural sciences can be developed from the philosophical rootedness of each people. After Bergson erecting the intuition in a method, we entered the trance like method, primarily in reference to the Buddhist contact with emptiness and the practice of dancing devices. Thus the transculturality for the ego’s extinction is created (including the academic one) - and for the entry in the Fifth Dimension of Knowledge.

Keywords : Transculturality; Sociopoetics; Epistemology.
