No. 11 (2012): Feminist perspectives on history, the body, science, subjectivities, and ecologies

This monograph examines the incorporation of Spanish women university students into academic life within an unequal process. It reflects on feminist memory following the death of key historical figures of the movement and on new forms of intergenerational transmission. It analyzes how modern science regulated women’s bodies through medical and social discourses that legitimized their subordination. It examines the relationships between time, symbolic violence, and women’s experiences in modernity. It critiques environmental exploitation and patriarchal oppression, proposing ecofeminist alternatives. It studies the intimate writing of women travelers as a space of self-affirmation and identity construction in a world that restricted their public presence. Finally, it offers a critical reading of Falla’s work from the perspective of female bodies and their representation in popular culture.
