Abstract
Labor law has a complex relationship with critique. The article explores the limits and potentialities of this relationship. It investigates the domain of labor law epistemology to demonstrate that it is part of the modern/colonial project of power, by excluding subaltern rationalities from scientificity. The starting point is an understanding of the critical knowledge production processes in labor law. The aim is to explore the limits of critical theory in this field, as it is made from an epistemic location intersected by power. In order to understand these intersections, the conceptual and political domain of epistemology is analyzed. To, immediately afterwards, open it radically, enunciating a future epistemic project. The idea of thinking about labor law based on dissident epistemologies. The hypothesis is that dissident epistemologies can set up a critique of labor law, instigating it to rethink its own thinking.
