Guía docente de Geopolíticas del Conocimiento, Género y Traducción: del Giro Discursivo al Giro Decolonial (M15/56/4/17)

This course is taught in English. We will discuss the debates around language and translation from a feminist perspective, understanding these concepts as material-discursive practices. We will situate them in the different turns of the humanities (such as new materialisms, post-structuralisms, queer studies, and decolonial studies among others). 

• To make students familiar with the research done by academics and other professionals in the fields of Women’s Studies and Gender.
• To illustrate research experiences and methodologies so that student can develop their own research
• To run workshops where they demonstrate their argument and line of thought basing the class on the pedagogical "inverted method". 
• To use affirmative critique based on reparative reading in order to create our femininist genealogies. 
• To develop respond-able research based on the ethics of care.
