Access to knowledge and to knowledge construction is not democratic. Rather, such access depends on the background we have, the prosperity we live in, the languages we speak – to name just a few factors. Moreover, academic knowledge is also a huge business, based on neoliberal rules, which gives power to those who control it. This control is exercised through the demands of academic-centre journals that authors publish in English and in a particular convention, as well as through the requirements set for the advancement of academic careers, “meritocratic” credentials such as language certificates, internationally funded grants and “excellence” prices or recognitions. It further ensures the dominance of the “centre”, understood as the West, with its Anglo-American tradition of academic communities
