A crítica à dicotomia de género como forma de descolonização epistémica

Abstract

he critical analysis of the gender perspective allows us to dismantle the fallacies of Eurologocentric thinking and point out the stereotypes that this episteme, tacitly colonial, has built. It is necessary to question, in the concept of gender and in the dichotomy underlying it - male / female -, the logic of western thought, of binary matrix, and how this logic appears to be the one that prevails in relation to the Other, the colonized.

What happens, both with gender studies and post-colonial studies, is that they open new epistemes and show, therefore, that the western episteme, in its disciplinary bases, reproduces stereotypes and eurologocentric logics, and also that the ontologies it builds are, above all, epistemologies anchored historically in the evaluative judgments of the so-called modern Western culture.

The analysis of the Platonic Chora, allowed leaving dichotomous thinking and rethink subjectivation processes as transubjective processes.
