Jineolojî: pensamiento crítico y prácticas emancipadoras desde el Kurdistán

Abstract

The struggle of Kurdish women in the PKK encouraged the emergence of Jineoloji, the Science of Women, like a critical mode of thinking to the dominant Western knowledge against what they consider as a historically women´s oppression process. This paper considers that way of thinnkig as a breaking project with the ways of understanding and producing life under capitalism, and explores this epistemic model as a tool to transform power systems recognizing Kurdish women as political subjects.  Jineoloji proposals and practices inside and outside Kurdistan are also analyzed to offer evidences for this arguments.
