Decolonial feminism. Gender education from another point of view
Anita Gramigna, Gabriel Manuel Colucci
This article aims to examine two aspects of the decolonial perspective that are strongly marked by gender. First, it explores the echoes of Rosa Luxemburg’s original political vision in practices of female self-emancipation among Andean Indigenous communities. Within these communities, women play an openly revolutionary role against the persistence of residual forms of colonialism — or coloniality — which is expressed, among other things, in their opposition to intellectuals’ decolonial models, regarded as alien to their struggles. Second, the article assesses the significance of decolonial pedagogy, both in terms of its theoretical gender framework and with reference to applied practices, where the imperative of political action against dehumanization remains central. Such dehumanization continues to be produced by neoliberalism as it assumes neo-colonial forms. Despite their differences and tensions, the specific forms of gendered decoloniality considered here play an original and critical role, opening up creative possibilities for the future.
