Resumo: A proposta deste artigo é esquisitar pontes e aproximar os feminismos contra- hegemônicos da América Latina, mais especificamente do Brasil, dos pensamentos produzidos pelas Chicanas, na fronteira entre os EUA e o México. Através dessa aproximação, buscamos potencializar a crítica literária feminista brasileira ao considerar processos de produção de conhecimento advindos de posicionamentos marginalizados. Enquanto a conceituação do esquisito vem do trabalho da pesquisadora brasileira Eliana Ávila (2015), a construção de pontes entre distintos grupos marginalizados emerge do pensamento fronteiriço de Gloria Anzaldúa e Cherríe Moraga (1981). Os trabalhos de Lélia Gonzalez (1984, 1988) e Larissa Pelúcio (2012) também se entrelaçam aos de autoras Chicanas para questionar relações de poder a apagamentos culturais históricos. Ao esquisitar pontes, desenvolve-se diálogos e articulações a partir de uma visão conscientemente parcial capazes de encontrar as potencialidades políticas para construções epistemológicas que levam em consideração os saberes localizados. É desse posicionamento que reforçamos a proposta de um queer esquisito e questionamos as relações geográficas de poder a partir de uma perspectiva brasileira.Palavras-chave: pontes; esquisito; queer; chicana; geopolítica; feminismo.Abstract: The objective of this article is to esquisitar (queer, in a free translation) bridges and to bring closer counter-hegemonic feminisms from Latin-America, more specifically from Brazil, and those developed by the Chicanas, in the borders between the USA and Mexico. Through this dialogue, we intend to potentialize the Brazilian feminist literary criticism by considering processes of knowledge production from marginalized positions. While the concept of esquisito comes from the works of the Brazilian researcher Eliana Ávila (2015), the construction of bridges between distinct groups emerges from the border thinking of Gloria Anzaldúa e Cherríe Moraga (1981). The works of Lélia Gonzalez (1984; 1988) and Larissa Pelúcio (2012) are also intertwined to the ones from Chicana authors to question power relations and historical cultural invisibilities. By esquisiting bridges, it is possible to develop political potentialities and epistemological constructions that take into consideration situated knowledges. From this perspective, we reinforce the proposal of an esquisito queer and question the geopolitics from a Brazilian point of view.Keywords: bridges; esquisito; queer; chicana; geopolitics; feminism.

Resumen: La obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, en la actualidad, tiene una gran importancia para los estudios latinoamericanos y para la crí­tica literaria feminista. Esto se debe a la influencia de los estudios acerca de la interseccionalidad en el feminismo con las coordenadas de sexo, género, raza y clase social, y de los cambios en la crí­tica literaria interesada en estudiar la creación literaria en clave de polí­ticas de la escritura. También porque a partir de los 80 se hizo más visible la producción literaria de las mujeres y surgió un marcado interés en el estudio del sujeto del feminismo. Los anteriores hitos llevaron a las feministas a preguntarse por el sujeto del feminismo, y con él por la experiencia de este sujeto. Se encontró que la experiencia es una construcción como el género de los sujetos y que, por lo tanto, no puede adjudicarse un tipo de experiencia en razón al sexo biológico, la raza y la clase social. Este artí­culo, a partir de la obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, describe las transformaciones de la idea de experiencia en el feminismo y la aborda como una construcción e interpretación de sí­ mediante polí­ticas de la escritura.Palabras claves: Gloria Anzaldúa, experiencia, sujeto del feminismo, polí­ticas de la escritura, Crí­tica literaria feminista.Sumary: The work of Gloria Anzaldúa is currently of great importance for Latin American studies and for feminist literary criticism. This is due to the influence of intersectionality studies in feminism with the coordinates of sex, gender, race and social class, and of changes in literary criticism interested in studying literary creation in the key of writing policies. Also because from the 80's the women's literary production became more visible and there was a marked interest in the study of the subject of feminism. The previous milestones led feminists to wonder about the subject of feminism and the experience of this subject. It was found that experience is a construction as the gender of subjects and therefore can not be awarded a type of experience on the grounds of biological sex, race and social class. This article, based on the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, describes the transformations of the idea of experience in feminism and approaches it as a construction and interpretation of itself through policies of writing.Key notes: Experience, Subject of feminism, Writing policies, Gloria Anzaldúa[1] Doctora en Pedagogí­a de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

Border Thinking

From a governmental perspective, multiculturalism tends to be reduced to a hollow celebration of superficial differences, a strategic policy to control and contain forms of difference that actually require a process of community awareness to open towards the other, rather than merely tolerate it. This essay examines the writing of several Mexican-Americans and Chicano authors through the approach of their thought border. Gloria Anzaldúa’s and Cherrie Moraga’s poems illuminate perspectives of such conceptual strength as Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s most theoretical and academic discourse. The poets, performative artists and academics I consider in this work build intercultural bridges as solidary and collective response against commercial, military and government powers who speak of erasing borders when it comes to the free flow of money and hand cheap labor, but that want close them to prohibit the free flow of ideas and creative beings who seek a better life. Desde una perspectiva gubernamental, el multiculturalismo tiende a reducirse a una hueca celebración de diferencias superficiales; una política estratégica para controlar y contener las formas de diferencia que en realidad requieren un proceso de conscientización comunitaria para abrirse hacia el otro, en vez de simplemente tolerarlo. Este ensayo examina la escritura de varios autores mexicano-americanos y chicanas/os a través del enfoque de su pensamiento fronterizo. Poemas de Gloria Anzaldúa y Cherríe Moraga iluminan perspectives con tanta fuerza conceptual como el discurso más teórico-académico de Chandra Talpade Mohanty. Tanto los poetas, los artistas performativos y los académicos que considero en este trabajo construyen puentes interculturales como respuesta colectiva y solidaria en contra de los poderes comerciales, militares, y gubernamentales que hablan de borrar las fronteras cuando se trata del libre flujo de dinero y mano de obra barata, pero que las quieren cerrar para prohibir el flujo libre de ideas creativas y seres que buscan una vida mejor.

This paper is an attempt to portray the plight of Mariam that she undergoes due to her illegitimate social status. The study focuses on the critical societal attitude towards the illegitimate unfortunate women. Mariam begins her life with a “harami” status; continues her struggle for personal identity, suffer and endures as a battered woman and leave this world as a woman of consequences by digging herself out of the lower social status that society attached to her. The study analyzes Mariam’s endurance, struggles and resistance in her strenuous journey to attain legitimate ending. The researcher used feminist literary criticism to interpret the text as a research methodology and adopted close textual analysis of the text by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Feminists feel that in literary criticism not enough consideration is given to feminism as an ideology in the production of texts. According to them, existing literary criticism is strongly man-centred. This is especially true of the practice of South African literary criticism. Although feminism does not have at its disposal a formulated feminist literary criticism, a great deal of research has been done in this direction abroad. This is especially the case in Europe and America. Feminist literary critics apply themselves to the representation of the woman in works by male authors and an analysis of feminine experience in the production of texts by women. This article is an exploration of the Anglo-American and French approaches in feminist literary criticism. An attempt is made to formulate the aims of a possible South African feminist literary criticism in order that not only the general norms, but also the feminist codes in the production of a text, speak towards the final interpretation of a work.

A partir de la descripción de enfoques y procesos de enseñanza de investigación del Diplomado para el Fortalecimiento del Liderazgo de las Mujeres Indígenas, coordinado por la Universidad Indígena Intercultural del Fondo Indígena y el Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social, se desarrollará una reflexión sobre “la etnización” de la investigación social y la producción de conocimiento cultural y políticamente pertinente para el movimiento de mujeres indígenas organizadas en América Latina. En específico, nuestro análisis se centrará en mostrar los escenarios de disputa donde facilitadoras y lideresas se enfrentaron ante el reto de desmontar la colonialidad de la construcción del conocimiento en las dinámicas de enseñanza y procesos de adecuación de métodos de investigación. Las particulares experiencias de conducción del trabajo de campo de las alumnas mostrarán su creatividad al adaptar y adoptar metodologías que les permitieron visibilizar el aporte político de las mujeres indígenas al desarrollo del activismo indígena local.Indigenizing Social Research Methodologies: Training Experience for the Strengthening of Women’s LeadershipAbstractBased on an ethnographic description of the approaches, learning processes and final research products of the Diploma for the Strengthening of Women’s Leadership coordinated by the Indigenous Fund’s Intercultural Indigenous University and the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology (UII-CIESAS), this essay reflects upon the indigenization of social research and knowledge production designed to meet the cultural and political needs of the indigenous women’s movement in Latin America. Specifically our analysis will focus on showing scenarios of dispute where facilitators and leaders faced the challenge of dismantling the coloniality of the knowledge construction in teaching dynamics and processes of adequacy of research methods. Finally, the students' own fieldwork experiences show their creativity in adapting and adopting methodologies that allowed them to make visible the political contribution of indigenous women to the local indigenous activism.Recibido: 02 de febrero de 2016Aceptado: 30 de mayo de 2017

Seiring berkembangnya zaman, tradisi yang mengengkang kebebasan kaum perempuan mulai diperjuangkan untuk dihapuskan melalui gerakan feminisme. Penyuaraan hak-hak perempuan tidak hanya dilakukan melalui gerakan-gerakan secara nyata, namun juga dilakukan secara halus dengan memasukkan ideologi-ideologi feminsime melalui karya sastra. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan bentuk ketidakadilan gender dan bentuk perlawanan perempuan terhadap stigma inferioritas yang selama ini melekat pada diri perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kritik sastra feminis. Sumber data penelitian adalah novel Midah (Si Manis Bergigi Emas) karya Pramoedya Ananta Toer dan novel Di Balik Kerling Saatirah karya Ninik M. Kuntarto. Teknik yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data-data bentuk feminisme yang ada di dalam kedua novel tersebut adalah dengan membaca kritis dan membaca berkesinambungan. Analisis dilakukan dengan cara (1) kodifikasi data, (2) pengelompokan data, (3) interpretasi makna teks, (4) deskripsi bentuk ketidakadilan gender dan bentuk perlawanan gender, serta (5) penyimpulan hasil analsisis. Hasil penelitian sebagai berikut. Pertama, ketidakadilan gender dialami oleh dua sosok perempuan dalam dua novel berbeda, yaitu Midah dan Saatirah. Midah mendapatkan perlakuan tidak adil dari perjodohan yang dilakukan oleh orangtuanya dan dia juga mendapatkan ketidakadilan dari sosok pria yang menjadikannya budak pemuas nafsu. Saatirah mendapatkan perlakuan tidak adil dalam hubungan rumah tangganya. Kedua, bentuk perlawanan yang dilakukan oleh Midah dan Saatirah adalah dengan berusaha bangkit dari keterpurukan untuk membuktikan eksistensinya dan berusaha memperoleh kebahagian dengan cara yang mereka kehendaki tanpa ada campur tangan dari orang lain. Kata Kunci: stigma, inferioritas, marginal, feminismAGAINST THE STIGMA OF WOMEN’S INFERIORITY IN MIDAH (SI MANIS BERGIGI EMAS) A NOVEL BY PRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER  AND DI BALIK KERLING SAATIRAH A NOVEL BY NINIK M. KUNTARTO AbstractAlong with the development of the times, struggles for traditions that curb the freedom of women began to be eliminated through the feminism movement. Voicing women's rights is not only done through real movements, but also subtly by incorporating feminine ideologies through literary works. This study aims to describe the form of gender injustice and the form of women's resistance to the inferiority stigma that has been attached to women. This study uses a feminist literary criticism approach. Sources of research data are the novel Midah (Si Manis Bergigi Emas) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer and the novel Di Balik Kerling Saatirah by Ninik M. Kuntarto. The technique used to collect data on the forms of feminism in both novels is critical reading and continuous reading. The analysis was carried out by (1) data codification, (2) data grouping, (3) interpretation of the meaning of the text, (4) descriptions of forms of gender injustice and forms of gender resistance, and (5) concluding the results of the analysis. The research results are as follows. First, gender injustice is experienced by two female figures in two different novels, namely Midah and Saatirah. Midah received unfair treatment from an arranged marriage by her parents and he also received injustice from a male figure who made her a slave to the satisfaction of lust. Saatirah received unfair treatment in her household relationship. Second, the form of resistance carried out by Midah and Saatirah is to try to rise from adversity to prove their existence and try to get happiness in the way they want without interference from others. Keywords: stigma, inferiority, marginal, feminine

Na literatura contemporânea sobre as transformações do ensino superior existe um forte consenso de que a expansão do saber gerencial foi um dos principais fatores que alterou sua dinâmica e organização interna. No caso do Brasil, são muitos os trabalhos que, seguindo essa percepção geral, apontam a estreita relação existente entre as políticas ditas “neoliberais” implementadas a partir da década de 1980, e a modernização gerencial difundida no país a partir de acordos de cooperação com os EUA durante os anos 1950 e 1960. No entanto, esses trabalhos, de modo geral, falham ao não conseguir mostrar, empiricamente, como se dá a relação entre esses dois momentos da história das políticas educacionais do país. O objetivo do presente trabalho é contribuir para a compreensão dessa relação a partir da análise de Yves Dezalay e Brynat Garth sobre o modo pelo qual a América Latina funcionou, nos anos 1950 e 1960, enquanto um “terreno de experimentação” de políticas que viriam a se difundir mundialmente nos anos 1980 e 1990. Para tanto, tomamos como objeto o Conselho de Reitores de Universidades Brasileiras (CRUB), no período que vai de 1966, ano da sua criação, até 1985, ano que marca o fim do regime militar, analisando tanto o conjunto de acordos internacionais então firmados pelo CRUB, quanto o resumo das suas principais atividades, e o perfil da sua diretoria executiva no período analisado.ABSTRACT In the contemporary literature on the transformations of higher education there is a strong consensus that the expansion of managerial knowledge was one of the main factors that altered its dynamics and internal organization. In the case of Brazil, there are many studies that, following this general perception, point to the close relationship between the so-called “neoliberal” policies implemented since the 1980s and the managerial modernization diffused in the country through cooperation agreements with the USA during the 1950s and 1960s. However, these works generally fail to show the relationship between these two moments in the history of educational policies in the country empirically. The objective of the present work is to contribute to the understanding of this relationship using, as a starting point, the analysis of Yves Dezalay and Brynat Garth on how Latin America functioned in the 1950s and 1960s as a “laboratory” of policies that would begin to spread worldwide in the 80s and 90s. To this end, we investigate the Council of Rectors of Brazilian Universities (CRUB) in the period from 1966, the year of its creation, until 1985, the year that marks the end of the military regime, analyzing both the set of international agreements signed by the CRUB during the period as well as the summary of its main activities and the profile of its executive board in this period of time.
