This article discusses the concept of how terminologies that emerge within a certain context can have different meanings and interpretations over time. It specifically examines the popularization and reduction of terms such as 'hegemony', 'intersectionality', and 'decolonization' to a superficial understanding focused solely on diversity. The article also explores the tensions and debates surrounding the decolonization of the curriculum in universities, with some advocating for a transformed system that encompasses free education and anti-racist curricula, while others treat it as a marketing exercise.
