Theoretical, political and methodological implications of feminist activist research

Abstract

The reflection on the relationship between research and activism is signifiÂcant in order to rethink the processes of knowledge construction and its implicaÂtions at different levels. Traditional and hegemonic notions of knowledge place it in a place separate from the reality that supposedly seeks to discover andexplain, which distances it from political objectives and the need for another type of practice or action that feed it back. This text deals with the theoretical, political and methodological implications of activist research, particularly from a feminist perspective, taking into account that these implications are not sepaÂrated, on the contrary, the decisions and ways of doing in each one of them have an impact on the others in a dialectical relationship.
