Boaventura De Sousa Santos answers questions about the ALICE Project. Coimbra 16 February 2012. Question: ALICE promotes ecology of knowledges and brings to the fore precisely that diversity of knowledges at a time in which the idea that there are no alternatives prevails; there is a saturation of alternatives. What are your expectations in relation to the manner in which political institutions and centres of power shall participate in this project or receive the results of this project?
