WK 8 Draft Questions -Elena Orlando

1. "Communitarian feminism is a social practice that defines and develops social proposals from the perspective of women, reconceptualising and creating concepts whist decrying others" (Paredes Interview, p.2). What is the balance between destruction and creation in feminism? Where is emphasis placed by the feminist activists we have studied?

2.  In "Dissidence and Communitarian Feminism," Caravajal writes "even if the experience of struggle passes through each woman's individual body, it is also true that there is a palpable collective feeling, living and dreaming [...]." How does is this idea of collective feeling present in Chicanafuturism?


3. In their piece about feminist history in Ecuador, Amor quotes Nela Martinez, who once said, "Women are the memory of the time wasted and reconquered." How might dominant narratives that devalue storytelling and memory work be shifted?
