“…This investigation will achieve more substantive and responsible goals from the perspective of the 'other', if it also encourages the collective promotion of material reparations that enable our everyday transformational praxis from within the cracks, fissures, and ambivalences of capitalist counterrevolutionary academia. I hope this action research that I eloquently oralize while cautiously write as a Brazilian mulatto privileged academic who wears white masks to survive help the whitening fields of administration-management and development, in general, and DA, in particular to recover-renew material conditions for managers, researchers, and other members of emergent/resurgent societies in the South and North to co-produce relevant Southern insurgent theory-practices radically engaged with the darker "other" of the "de-developed" majority (Faria et al, 2021), beyond racial capitalism embodying Eurocentric modernity/coloniality we internalize/epidermize.…”

In an era of decolonization and empire, the management field embraced the US-led neoliberal counterrevolution and challenged the Eurocentric theory-practice hierarchy to produced relevant knowledge through managed learning theories. This contested reformist and market-centric management revolution (MR) against the threat of “reverse relevance” fostered by emerging/resurging barbarians subalternizes Southern theories-practices of the multifaceted field of development administration-management (DA) and de-develops the global majority by privileging large corporations and transnational elites. MR expanded in the 1990s through a post-Washington Consensus social perspective based on re-Westernalizing whitening appropriation-containment dynamics of developmental neoliberalisms and Southern counter-hegemonic movements informed by dewesternization and decolonial dynamics which challenge-reaffirm racial capitalism structures. In an Age of Development, MR was re-organized in the 2000s in response to “irresponsible” hybridisms in emerging countries and societies triggered by Southern learning-unlearning-relearning dynamics. This article investigates the Southern co-production of relevant knowledge in Brazil through subversive complicity, focused on a privileged organization-school nexus. Analysis shows how managers and researchers (re)mobilize Southern theories-practices to co-produce relevant knowledge from a transformational-reformist perspective. In the end, the article presents discussions and suggestions for collectively re-appropriating Southern relevant knowledge engaged with the ‘other’ in emerging/resurging societies in both the South and North.

“…Esta investigação terá atingido objetivos mais substantivos e responsáveis, sob a perspectiva do 'outro', se também encorajar o fomento de reparações materiais que viabilizem nosso fazer práxico transformacional coletivo a partir das fissuras e ambivalências da academia capitalista contrarrevolucionária. Enfim, espero que esta investigação-ação que oralizo eloquentemente enquanto escrevo cautelosamente como acadêmico mulato sulista usuário de máscaras brancas da sobrevivência (Fanon, 1967) ajude os campos branqueadores de administração/gestão e desenvolvimento, em geral, e AD, em particular, a recuperar-renovar condições materiais para que gestores, pesquisadores e outros membros de sociedades emergentes/ressurgentes no Sul e Norte continuem coproduzindo teorias-práticas sulistas insurgentes relevantes radicalmente engajadas com o "outro" mais escuro da maioria desdesenvolvida (Faria et al, 2021)…”

RESUMO Em uma era de descolonização e império, o campo da gestão abraçou a contrarrevolução neoliberal liderada pelos EUA e desafiou a hierarquia eurocêntrica teoria-prática para produzir conhecimento relevante por meio de teorias de aprendizagem gerenciada. Contra a ameaça de “relevância reversa” promovida por bárbaros emergentes/ressurgentes essa contestada revolução gerencial (RG) reformista e mercadocêntrica subalterniza teorias-práticas sulistas do multifacetado campo de administração do desenvolvimento (AD) e “desdesenvolve” a maioria global ao privilegiar grandes corporações e elites transnacionais. A RG é expandida nos anos 1990 por meio de uma perspectiva social pós-Consenso de Washington baseada em dinâmicas reocidentalizantes branqueadoras de apropriação-contenção de neoliberalismos desenvolvimentistas e movimentos contra-hegemônicos sulistas informados por dinâmicas desocidentalizantes e decoloniais que desafiam-reafirmam estruturas do capitalismo racial. Em uma Era do Desenvolvimento, a RG é rearticulada nos anos 2000 em resposta a hibridismos “irresponsáveis” em países e sociedades emergentes impulsionados por dinâmicas sulistas de aprendizagem-desaprendizagem-reaprendizagem. Este artigo investiga coprodução de relevância sulista do conhecimento no Brasil por meio de cumplicidade subversiva a partir de um nexo organização-escola privilegiado. A análise mostra como gestores e pesquisadores (re) mobilizam teorias-práticas sulistas para coproduzir relevância sob uma perspectiva transformacional-reformista. No final, apresentamos discussões e sugestões para reapropriação coletiva da relevância sulista engajada com o outro em sociedades emergentes/ressurgentes no Sul e Norte.

Objective: to reflexively understand how management and accounting decolonial academics in the Global South perceive and respond to the decolonizing curriculum agenda created in the Atlantic North within the hyper-contra-revolutionary context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Theoretical approach: we embrace a decolonizing-recolonizing perspective that challenges-reaffirms theory/practice and North/South binarisms that we internalize. Method: we embrace action research based on self-criticism and reflexivity to address the experiences of privileged decolonial scholars. Results: our findings reveal important aspects related to decolonizing-recolonizing dynamics that are occurring in bodies, contexts, and academic spaces. Conclusions: our study reveals that decolonizing the management and accounting curriculum in the South is permeated by difficulties for theoretical delinking, which trigger tensions about the constitution of personal/collective being, the mobilization of intellectual/practical activism, the creation of forms of engagement internal/external to the academy, transcending the competitive/solidaristic academic action model; the construction of knowledge in extractivist/non-extractivist forms; and the materialization of pluriversal knowledge in academic/non-academic products. We hope to encourage everyday decolonizing-recolonizing management and accounting education that goes beyond the North/South binarism and curricular reforms led by the counter-revolutionary neoliberal university and its Eurocentric business schools.
