Thinking the thought with which we think: scope and limits of theoretical feminism

Abstract

This text is based on a finding: neither the conceptual contributions positioned by feminist theory nor the political activism deployed over almost two hundred years have managed to dismantle the collective imagination that explains individual differences – not only of gender but also of ethnicity, age and even economic status – from a hierarchical scheme. From the perspective of cultural studies, this text proposes a revision of these frameworks of interpretation and explores some clues that would allow generating models of inclusive and democratic coexistence.
