Practices, knowledge, territories. Articulations between academia and activism

Abstract

This paper systematizes the lines of research developed in the research project "Practices, knowledge, territories. Articulations between academia and activisms" with which we proceeded to delimit and reconstruct a field of practical-theoretical thought that we identified as feminisms of the South and critical pedagogies in Our America in the 21st century. From the analysis of philosophical and socio-political discourses and the accompaniment and intervention in concrete practices, we propose to make visible and appreciate articulations and boundaries between academia and activism. The text organizes the processes and contributions in five lines situated and in context: feminist practices and knowledge in the Ayllu; knowledge and practices of feminisms in the Latin American South linked to science, technique and technology; Latin American Cyberfeminist Knowledge and Practices; knowledge and self-managed practices aimed at cultural production; critical, alternative, nomadic pedagogical knowledge and practices; political-academic practices linked to the environment and the territory; internship. The work conjectures were practical-theoretical drifts that resulted from research paths, intervention trajectories and team militancy. Sustained in an epistemology of articulation and diffraction, it accounts for different strategies of data collection, testimonies, narratives, experiences, perspectives. Among the results achieved, he points out: the consolidation of a vacant line of work that traces an interdisciplinary field; the inter- and transdisciplinary communityality sustained in a newly formed work team; updating study programs in undergraduate degrees; co-responsiveness as a web woven with those communities and organizations with whom we have experienced a policy of coalitions; Thesaurus for Southern Feminisms
