Feminismos, opresiones y voces entretejidas del Sur. Mujeres indígenas y desafíos filosóficos-políticos

Abstract

Through theoretical innovation, political practices, social intervention, epistemic creativity and democratic resistance, in recent decades many voices from the South have strongly emerged. Several strategies have been proposed to resist different dispossessions and oppressions. The central objective of this working paper is to listen the voices of indigenous women —activists, intellectuals, artists, poets, jurists, university students— in order to pay attention to the philosophical-political challenges they pose, reflected in innumerable collective struggles, claims and transnationals constellations. To face this task, our story line presents different oppressions (patriarchal, of bodies and territories, and referred to cognitive extractivism) and the challenges to resist them (the “de-patriarchalization” in communal frameworks, the production of “the common”, and the recognition of a epistemic spirituality and a textile transmission). The narrative is accompanied by three analytical strategies: a conceptual approach; a contextual and historical perspective; and, finally, a listening from the practices and the struggles.
