• Resumen

  • This chapter discusses the key theories and concepts informing feminst and queer perspectives on Latin American social movements, which result both from porcesses of translation and contestation of theories produced by academic research in the Norh, and from the development of locally grounded theoretical perspectives. The chapter first review some the principal debates and concepts developed in feminist and queer theory around critiques of the public/private divide and the resulting narrowly institutionalist conceptions of the political, which constitute challenges and contributions to mainstream theorizing the complexities of collective identity construction, and the tensions within as well as among social movements. Finally, the chapter highlights new developments in feminist and queer social and political theorizing and epistemological reflection in the region that seek to "decolonize" knowledge production.
