Other voices from the south: notes to gender and race categories

Abstract

This article assumes as a locus of enunciation, the Latin American and decolonial feminisms; this is the point from which we are interested in traying another approach to the subject, an epistemological alternative with a located standpoint.  This, our text appeals the ways of administrating -managing – signifying the categories that are set up on the colonial, gender and race intrusion. How do we use them regarding the production of knowledges and subjectivities? What semiotic processes do we manage? How are we affected? Therefore, this article is divided in two sections. The first one deals with María Lugones and Rita Segato’s theoretical discussions concerning the gender category linked to the colonial intrusion and the gender coloniality. In the second part, attentive to an analysis of the discourse as a methodology, we address two manifestos from a group of native woman of thirty-six nations in Argentina.
