Between Coalitions, Articulations and Diffractions

Toward a Feminist Pedagogy

Abstract

Objective: this paper seeks to account for the path experienced from certain epistemic-methodological key elements, and from certain practices located in/from the southern feminisms. It takes as a starting point actions of protests against cis men as an enclave for the analysis of their testimonies accounting for the multiple space-times that were specified during the investigation. It seeks to provide materiality to an epistemology of coalitions in which the translation, the fictionalized narrative and thinking in conversation, one together with the other, were central devices. Methodology: as the axis of this methodology, the fictional narratives, based on testimonies, resulting conversations, discussions, debates, and coalitions, and diffracted a collective elaboration of materials that enable thinking of pedagogical strategies in a feminist element. Some of the inquiries that emerge and are plotted in this writing refer to: what has been the methodological renewal of southern feminisms? What epistemological tensions, conflicts, emergences, blindness and deafness make southern feminisms visible? To what extent does the displacement of subject-object to subject-subjectxs foster other forms of knowledge production? What risks are confronted if new masculinities are included as informants to think about protests? What are the variations that the fictional narrative enables? Why does its productive power drive from representation to diffraction? At what point does one assume a pedagogy of desire as a creative anchor? Why would this pedagogy overflow the known channels of all possible pedagogy? Would diffractions make an epistemology of coalitions possible? Results: in the framework of this itinerary, a feminist pedagogy develops based on an epistemology of location, positioning and articulations.
