					View No. 3 (2004): Science, Memory, Literature, and Gender-Based Violence: Interdisciplinary Feminist Contributions

This monograph proposes a conception of science centered on laboratory practices, emphasizing that scientific knowledge is socially constructed and shaped by values, beliefs, and cultural contexts. It analyzes the figure of Mary Fairfax Somerville, highlighting her scientific writing as a space where objectivity, rhetoric, and gender intersect, and recognizing her central role in 19th-century science. It focuses on the poetry of Gloria Gervitz, studying memory and the formation of the female lyrical subject as a plural construction of voices and identities. It also includes an empirical study of women who are victims of intimate partner violence, analyzing the psychological impact of abuse and the influence of sociodemographic factors such as self-esteem, insecurity, and type of abuse experienced.
