Abstract

This article proposes a cartographic exercise that seeks movements, deviations, powers, and fissures that emerge in the authors’ narratives as other spaces for (re)thinking research and teacher training in mathematics (education). Through experiences and experiences marked by class, gender, and race inequalities, the claims of neutrality of mathematical knowledge are put into tension. Inspired by Intersectionality, decolonial epistemologies, and a politics of narrative, the authors perform an embodied critique of hegemonic rationality, evoking affections, stories, and corporealities. Based on perspectivism, they understand knowledge as relational and situated and based on the concept of a body without organs, they reveal the desire to escape the normative and standardized captures of our society. Equivocality is welcomed as a creative power. Research is an act of resistance and writing is an insurgent gesture, where thought emerges from the insubordinate folds of the lived experience and opens up other paths as ways of (re)existing.
