Critical Horizons for the Reading/Rewriting/Transformation of the Contemporary World from a Gender/Feminist/Queer/Cuir Point of View
Enrico, Juliana
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v20 n1 p116-144 Apr 2022
In the contemporary world, very diverse voices and narratives have punctured the cultural canon of universal Western rationality (an enlightened, modern, racist, classist and patriarchal rationality), as well as question the androcentric and sexist norms of language. Through the emergence of new political subjects and languages that embody practices of resistance, otherness and freedom, singular memories of oppression and struggle have manifested on the global cultural scene. Taking this context into account, we will attempt to reflect on the contributions that gender and feminist perspectives, along with queer/cuir pedagogies, have made to the elaboration of a horizon of cultural reading/translation/critical rewriting from other oppressed heritages/scars/ways of life, factoring in notions and practices of justice, equality, freedom and happiness. In particular, in this text we will investigate the function of feminist critique as a social antagonism that confronts hegemonic identity matrices and their systematic structural violence, by way of crossing geopolitical, economic, epistemic, linguistic, social, cultural, and sexual borders. We are specifically interested in assessing the contributions these spaces make -- as a horizon of social transformation -- to the broad transdisciplinary field of education and cultural criticism.
