Periphery journalism, human rights and decoloniality: insurgent epistemologies in the face of inequalities in the Global South

This article proposes an epistemological reflection on periphery journalism as an insurgent practice in the face of inequalities in the Global South. From decolonial references, black-Latin American feminists and popular communication, it analyzes how peripheral collectives subvert the coloniality of knowledge. The reconfiguration of human rights is approached as a praxis rooted in local experience. The study also mobilizes classic authors of journalism, such as Genro Filho and Medina, to question objectivity and neutrality in journalistic practice. It is argued that peripheral journalism, by articulating territory, body and memory, constitutes a form of symbolic resistance and creation of possible worlds. This is an ongoing master's research, with partial results. The case analysis, guided by Motta's Critical Analysis of Narrative, allows us to observe the disputes of meaning in the discourses produced by journalists from the peripheries.
