MIGNOLO, WALTER
b. 1941
Decoloniality (The Right of Retreat)
Mignolo: decolonial thought delinks from the imperial epistemology and reconstitutes knowledge from suppressed sources. The GAI's Right of Retreat (§3.5) and its acceptance of "Explanation withheld" (§3.4.1) are partial decolonial concessions: the applicant may delink. The institution does not require full transparency. The applicant decides what the archive may know. The institution adapts to the limit, by policy.
