Les Féministes des marges peuvent-elles parler ? Retour sur un « échec » académique et ses implications épistémologiques et politiques

| Summary: | While the feminist critique of knowledge production is now institutionalized and quite well established in France and Quebec (Lagrave, 1990 ; Parini, 2010), it has had a limited impact on research practices (Lmadani et Moujoud, 2012 ; Mathieu, 1999). Mobilizing the feminist theorization of the margins (Hill Collins, 2008 [1990] ; hooks, 2017 [1984]) as our framework, we analyze, in this paper, our experience of organizing a workshop on « feminisms from the margins", during a social science conference at a Canadian university. This workshop was meant to question the epistemological foundations of our different academic fields from our situated positions (Harding, 1986). As such it constitutes a "borderline case" (Hamidi, 2012), that enable us to analyze the impact of gender, racialization and geopolitical inequalities, dealing with the production and promotion of knowledge (Larcher, 2018). Dialoguing between our different backgrounds, we tried to build common thoughts in order to draw a ridgeline on which the “halfies” (Abu Lughod, 1991) – who like us are present in spaces of power while occupying marginalized positions – could travel. |
