Intervenções epistêmicas de María Lugones: notas sobre o sistema colonial/moderno de gênero

Abstract

his dissertation chooses María Lugones as a critical theorist who promotes decisive epistemological interventions by intersecting gender with decolonial theories, highlighting her insertion in the movement known as modernity/coloniality (M/C). In this sense, the investigation seeks to locate this specific debate in the author's work and, thus, show how her analyzes contribute to the promotion of an “epistemic opening” in social theories and in gender studies themselves. From a methodological perspective, it is a theoretical research that takes as its corpus of analysis the written intellectual production of the scholar. To this end, the texts “Methodological Notes toward a Decolonial Feminism” (2012), “Toward a Decolonial Feminism” (2019) “Heterosexualism and the Colonial/Modern Gender System” (2020a) and “Slave Subjectivity, Coloniality of Gender, Marginalization and Multiple Oppressions” (2020b), from which the author’s main contributions are refined, also put in dialogue with the criticisms undertaken by other feminist theorists, which allows us to verify the effervescence of this field of studies whose dedication to it can contribute in its measure in the updating of the social sciences in the attention to its ontoformative character.
