Sambistic support in the construction of an interdisciplinary epistemology

Abstract

The first part warns the reader about the dangerous tendency to position the interdisciplinary in a set theory. We then move on to a critique of scientism, including highlighting its most racist face, destabilizing its will to truth. In the face of so much knowledge, another yet emerges, in the image of plot sambas, literature, categorized by Deleuze and Guattari, as minor literature.
