No. 8 (2009): Bodies, Discourses, and Resistances: Feminist Contributions from History, Culture, and Society

This monograph examines how social, scientific, and cultural discourses have constructed the female body, regulating behavior and legitimizing unequal power relations. It analyzes the representation of women in literature, art, and media, highlighting both the persistence of stereotypes and strategies of symbolic resistance. It also addresses women’s participation in historical, political, and educational processes, emphasizing their active role despite limitations imposed by patriarchal structures. The study explores issues such as feminist memory, identity, subjective experience, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. Additionally, some texts incorporate a critical perspective on contemporary issues such as social inequality, symbolic violence, and exclusion.
