Abstract

We are in the midst of a knowledge society that, endowed with technological innovation, promotes the production of new ‘useful knowledge’. While knowledge flows are increasingly diversified and complex today, what underlies them are hierarchies of knowledge and webs of neo-colonialism. The boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate knowledge are still as stark, and governed by the schism between the developed and the underdeveloped worlds.
