Ivan da Costa Marques became aware of Brazil's technological dependence through research experience abroad. And through research within the country, based on an autonomous approach to modernity for Brazil, he discovered that the reserves of the minicomputer market could be a vanishing point from technological dependence. With his reflection on how the success of this escape line became a failure, Costa Marques realized that disciplinary explanations from engineering, economics, or even sociology, always had implicit assumptions and value choices that reinforced the view of the so-called developed countries. Thus, the study of the limitations of this vanishing point led to Science, Technology and Society Studies that situated them as a powerful tool for overcoming coloniality in the peripheries of the West.

Palabras clave : Coloniality; technological dependency; STS studies; Ivan da Costa Marques; vanishing point; market reserve.
