【 摘 要 】

The processus of production, transmission and organization of knowledge are interfered, as other symbolic practices, by colonizing cultural and cognitive actions since the beginning of its systematization. "Declassification" proposes the rehabilitation of old values, banished by hegemonic thinking, such as aesthesia, uncertainty, temporarity, rhetoric or contradiction in order to obtain a self-narrative and emancipation-oriented knowledge organization, breaking the bounds of the cognitive matrix which is behind the western epistemic project, now exponentially launched by digitality. In this article the impossible closed concepts statute and its hierarchies are specifically addressed from a paraconsistent perspective, and three principles of work are theoretically set in order to break and open their limits.
