Sumario:This article is intended to address the possibility of generating knowledge for the purpose of emancipation through the union of the commoners, as defined by A. García Linera. Firstly, we define the concepts of union and experience of commoners in order to clarify them, describing the main political features of the multitude. Secondly, weidentify the contributions made by B. de Sousa Santos and his southern (Latin-American) epistemology, specifically the concepts of epistemology of blindness and vision. Further, we analyze how the capitalism has putthe non-hegemonic knowledges and experiences out of sight. Finally, we acknowledge the reason why the perspective of communities is relevant for emancipation. To such purpose, we explain the importance of the union of commoners as a way of producing knowledge. Further, we describe a new way of generating humanitarian and collective knowledge.
