Repensando la economía feminista desde las propuestas de(s)coloniales.

Abstract

Economics -as a scientific discipline and modern Science- is tied to an historical eurocentric, androcentric and anthropocentric conception, which stems from the circumstances of a concrete space (The West) and a particular individual (white, bourgeois, male, adult and heterosexual) who have been regarded as the centre of knowledge and the only possible object of study, in a purely political process of generation of economic knowledge, based on social consensus on what part of reality should be look into, from where, and how it is interpreted. The critics of the ideology that is implied in the delimitation and definition of Economics (and work) will be the task that we will address on this paper, from a proposal of dialogue between Feminist Political Economics approaches and some critical postmodern, subaltern/postcolonial and/or descolonial studies, from which some theories are raised against the growing mercantilization, subalternization and exploitation of nature, peoples and cultures, and the local and global problems generated by this.
