Summary: Could a decentralised poetic favour geohistorical categories that would help overcome imperialism? Certainly yes though it is not an easy task, as metaphorically stated Franz Fanon. Loci of enunciation should rebuild epistemic loci taking into account the geopolitical locus and political body of the speaking subject. It will be when unraveling coloniality and decoloniality that the place of enunciation will make sense. But schools of thought backing the Establishment will hinder the former task. Assuming an enduring colonialism, how could this be understood in a context of crisis of modernity? Should colonialism lead us to decoloniality in a spillover process, resignifications must include not only legal-political factors but all the elements of a new society.
