Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminismos y poscolonialidad reúne diversas reflexiones sobre las múltiples experiencias de las mujeres, imposibles de ser unificadas y homologadas bajo un mismo concepto de "opresión de las mujeres". "La rapiña que se desata sobre lo femenino se manifiesta tanto en formas de destrucción corporal sin precedentes como en las formas de tráfico y comercialización de lo que estos cuerpos puedan ofrecer, hasta el último límite. La ocupación depredadora de los cuerpos femeninos o feminizados se practica como nunca antes y, en esta etapa apocalíptica de la humanidad, es expoliadora hasta dejar sólo restos." (Rita Segato) "Sólo fue hace cien años, sin embargo para mi generación parece que fue en un tiempo mítico. El pueblo mapuche se movía con libertad en su territorio, la gente se comunicaba con las fuerzas de la mapu. Mapuzungun significa el idioma de la tierra. La tierra habla, todos sus seres tienen un lenguaje y todos los mapuches lo conocían." (Liliana Ancalao, poetisa mapuche). En Feminismos y poscolonialidad lo que se intenta es Visibilizar las diferencias de género, sexo, clase, raza, etnia, religión... potencializa las posibilidades de intercambio de experiencias de transformaciones y de posibles emancipaciones en las mujeres.

Download or read book Gloria Anzald a Poscolonialidad y feminismo written by Martha Palacio and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004) escribió durante toda su vida con la convicción de que había que pensar qué significaba vivir en la frontera: la de Estados Unidos y México, la de ser lesbiana y mestiza. El estar atravesada entre dos formas de vida y de pertenencia la condujo a hacerse cargo del modo en que la construcción histórica, política y social de la soberanía estatal y de la identidad nacional configuran heridas en los cuerpos. En este sentido, su trabajo ha sido fuente de inspiración en los estudios poscoloniales y feministas al aportar un marco de comprensión que da cuenta de la creación de espacios en los que se reproducen formas transversales de injusticia y desigualdad. La voz de Gloria Anzaldúa nos permite entender qué significa pensar desde una perspectiva poscolonial y feminista, qué nuevas tensiones surgen de un pensar radical que opera desde la herida de la frontera.
Download or read book Descolonizando el feminismo written by Liliana Suárez-Navaz and published by Ediciones Catedra S.A.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El reto de los feminismos en el siglo XXI es un reto de dimensión global que requiere el reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural. Siendo aún central la lucha por la equidad de género, el desafío pasa por identificar y superar herencias coloniales que obstaculizan el avance de los feminismos del nuevo milenio. Este libro es fruto del esfuerzo por construir puentes de comunicación entre diversas tradiciones feministas que no han estado lo suficientemente representadas en la literatura feminista académica y que aportan nuevas herramientas para la construcción de un feminismo poscolonial. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, se recogen trabajos que han marcado un giro en los debates de la teoría de género en un ámbito internacional, al cuestionar visiones etnocéntricas que no habían considerado la articulación entre género y raza o entre identidades culturales e identidades de género, ni el estrecho vínculo entre el racismo y las prácticas e ideologías patriarcales.
Download or read book Postcolonial Representations of Women written by Rachel Bailey Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible combination of post-colonial theory, feminism and pedagogy, the author advocates using subversive and contemporary artistic representations of women to remodel traditional stereotypes in education. It is in this key sector that values and norms are molded and prejudice kept at bay, yet the legacy of colonialism continues to pervade official education received in classrooms as well as ‘unofficial’ education ingested via popular culture and the media. The result is a variety of distorted images of women and gender in which women appear as two-dimensional stereotypes. The text analyzes both current and historical colonial representations of women in a pedagogical context. In doing so, it seeks to recast our conception of what ‘difference’ is, challenging historical, patriarchal gender relations with their stereotypical representations that continue to marginalize minority populations in the first world and billions of women elsewhere. These distorted images, the book argues, can be subverted using the semiology provided by postcolonialism and transnational feminism and the work of contemporary artists who rethink and recontextualize the visual codes of colonialism. These resistive images, created by women who challenge and subvert patriarchal modes of representation, can be used to create educational environments that provide an alternative view of women of non-western origin.

Download or read book Postcolonial and Postsocialist Dialogues written by Redi Koobak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through staging dialogues between scholars, activists, and artists from a variety of disciplinary, geographical, and historical specializations, Postcolonial and Postsocialist Dialogues explores the possible resonances and dissonances between the postcolonial and the postsocialist in feminist theorizing and practice. While postcolonial and postsocialist perspectives have been explored in feminist studies, the two analytics tend to be viewed separately. This volume brings together attempts to understand if and how postcolonial and postsocialist dimensions of the human condition - historical, existential, political, and ideological - intersect and correlate in feminist experiences, identities, and struggles. In the three sections that probe the intersections, opacities, and challenges between the two discourses, the authors put under pressure what postcolonialism and postsocialism mean for feminist scholarship and activism. The contributions address the emergence of new political and cultural formations as well as circuits of bodies and capital in a post-Cold War and postcolonial era in currently re-emerging neo-colonial and imperial conflicts. They engage with issues of gender, sexuality, race, migration, diasporas, indigeneity, and disability, while also developing new analytical tools such as postsocialist precarity, queer postsocialist coloniality, uneventful feminism, feminist opacity, feminist queer crip epistemologies. The collection will be of interest for postcolonial and postsocialist researchers, students of gender studies, feminist activists and scholars.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Theory written by Lisa Disch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Theory provides a rich overview of the analytical frameworks and theoretical concepts that feminist theorists have developed to analyze the known world. Featuring leading feminist theorists from diverse regions of the globe, this collection delves into forty-nine subject areas, demonstrating the complexity of feminist challenges to established knowledge, while also engaging areas of contestation within feminist theory. Demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of feminist theory, the chapters offer innovative analyses of topics central to social and political science, cultural studies and humanities, discourses associated with medicine and science, and issues in contemporary critical theory that have been transformed through feminist theorization. The handbook identifies limitations of key epistemic assumptions that inform traditional scholarship and shows how theorizing from women's and men's lives has profound effects on the conceptualization of central categories, whether the field of analysis is aesthetics, biology, cultural studies, development, economics, film studies, health, history, literature, politics, religion, science studies, sexualities, violence, or war.
