Gestoras culturales en tiempos de pandemia. Educación feminista contra las violencias

El papel de las gestoras culturales ha sido decisivo para llevar a la escena social temáticas que interesan a las mujeres y a la sociedad en su conjunto. Si bien la pandemia desatada por el SARS-CoV-2 ha planteado retos al quehacer cultural, diversas agrupaciones lideradas por mujeres encontraron un impulso inusitado en el incremento de la violencia de género que tuvo lugar en el país en el primer semestre de 2020. En este marco, los Observatorios de Políticas Culturales y Universitario de Violencias contra las Mujeres realizamos una aproximación analítica a la intensa actividad cultural que se generó en el estado de Veracruz, a propósito de eventos organizados por gestoras de Recultivar México, los cuales tenían como objetivo recuperar y fortalecer procesos que, desde la educación feminista fomentando los derechos culturales y humanos de las mujeres, pudiesen dar respuesta a la violencia feminicida agravada por el confinamiento. Women as cultural management during pandemic times. Feminist education against violenceWomen's role as cultural management has been critical in bringing up social issues relevant to women, as well as to society in its whole. While the pandemic brought upon by SARS-CoV-2 has raised challenges to cultural endeavours, many organizations led by women have found an unusual impulse in the increase of gender violence in the country during the first semester of 2020. In this panorama, as both the Observatory of Cultural Policies and the Academic Observatory of Violence against Women, we have taken upon ourselves to create an analytical approach to the significant cultural activity in the state of Veracruz which arises from different events organized by women from Recultivar México (Recultivating Mexico), whose objective is reclaiming and strenghthening processes that, within a feminist pedagogical approach which reinforces cultural and human rights of women, may present a proper response to femicide-related violence aggravated by social confinement.Keywords: cultural management, feminism, gender, violence and education.

‘I want to delete this tweet so much, but…’: Jameela Jamil as a celebrity feminist educator

The ideas of outspoken feminist celebrities are met with scepticism. This scepticism is rooted in the idea that, while celebrities have a platform for expression, they are not academics and their role in education should therefore be limited. This article explores the role of Jameela Jamil, a British, queer actor, and analyses her use of Instagram and Twitter as platforms for education and social change. I argue that she uses social media to teach and learn from her followers regarding body acceptance, racial and sexual inclusivity and queer representation. This work also explores the realities of clapbacks, cancel culture, mistake-making, shame culture and affective solidarity via her use of language, such as through the vulnerable phrase ‘I want to delete this tweet so much, but…’. In positioning Jamil as more than simply a celebrity feminist, and beyond what is considered a normative public intellectual, I assert that she embodies the role of a celebrity feminist educator. This role is unique as it creates space for Jamil’s online feminist activism, her accessible use of language and her desire to teach and learn from her followers to be made meaningful within the context of feminist education and celebrity studies.

El feminismo es para todo el mundo, é uma das obras mais importantes da escritora, teórica ativista, acadêmica e crítica cultural afronorteamericana bell hooks. Inspirada em sua própria história de superação e influenciada pela teoria crítica como prática libertadora de Paulo Freire, a autora nos provoca a refletir sobre o sujeito social do feminismo e propõe um feminismo visionário e radical, que deve ser analisado a partir das experiências pessoais e situada desde nossos lugares de sexo, raça e classe para compreender as diferentes formas de violência dentro do patriarcado capitalista supremacista branco. Como feminista negra interseccional, a escritora reivindica constantemente a teoria dentro do ativismo, por uma prática feminista antirracista, antissexista, anticlassista e anti-homofóbica, que lute contra todas as formas de violência e dominação, convidando a todas as pessoas a intervir na realidade social. Para a autora, o feminismo é para mulheres e homens, apontando a urgência de transitar alternativas outras, de novos modelos de masculinidades não hegemônicas, de família e de criança feminista, de beleza e sexualidades feministas, de educação feminista para a transformação da vida e das nossas relações sociais, políticas, afetivas e espirituais.

They can be identified as patriarchal because the text is commonly read by men due to minimum access of education for women. Women are illiterate and experience oppression in education. There is almost no information about women figure that become a linguist, scientists and including female scholars. 2) the inequality of antonym and synonym. The word relation and series word by word (word) is ideologically unequal.
