Critical transdisciplinary research: A rhizomatic transmethod in transmodernity

Abstract

In the modernist-postmodernist-colonial
crisis, disciplinary research leads to fragmented
results of complex reality, entering
into a sterile debate: qualitative-quantitative-
critical partner: excluding the research
subject. From the transmodernist
project, under the transcomplex
transparadigm,
critical transdisciplinary
research is analyzed as a
rhizomatic method, a complexity
that unmasks the
dominant social structures
and their mechanisms of
oppression. The investigation
is located in the line
titled: transepistemologies
of knowledge and transcomplex
transmethodologies.
Another transmethod
was used in the research:
comprehensive, ecosophical
and diatopic hermeneutics,
passing through the
analytical, empirical and
propositional moments; rescuing in art
of inhabiting the planet
