description The emergence and consolidation of the modern social sciences are based on abstract universalism that has identified in its origins the different social disciplines, which have been constructed in an autobiographical way (Santos, 2014), erecting historical and cultural specificity as a hegemonic. This produced “the invisibilisation of the epistemic simultaneity of the world" (Castro-Gómez, 2005), which ignored these "other places,” former colonies of the Empire like Tunisia. In this context, the presented article aims to approach the process of knowledge’s production in the Tunisian academic context, from a historical perspective but also analyzing the different epistemological positions that reflect the current scientific field, and also facing "otherness", in a present influenced by revolution.
