Course presentation:
The seminar provides students with conceptual tools on Southern feminisms and social movements that incorporate emotions and embodied experiences, enabling them to analyze territory(ies) from diverse Latin American perspectives. We emphasize Latin American and Caribbean constructions, contextualizing and problematizing the various Southern feminist currents and the intersection of environmentalism, in order to recognize the articulation between the body-territory construct, body-land, and bodily cartographies.
