Posmodernismos y Feminismos: Diálogos, Coincidencias y Resistencias

Open Access

Abstract

From a critical reading of Anglo-Saxon postmodern feminism, this article seeks to recover those methodological and epistemological proposals that may prove useful to Latin Americans who are questioning ethnocentric paradigms of Western positivism. The fact that western feminists, defenders and detractors exchange ideas, enables the author to approach the debates on the patriarchal nature of Western science and the epistemological and political quests undertaken from different angles of feminism to construct a non-ethnocentric knowledge and feminist practice which includes diversity.
