Feminist disability studies in Ibero-America: An approach to the status of the discussion

Abstract

The objective of the article is to offer an approach to the status of the Ibero-American discussion on feminist disability studies. It is based on articles from the first two decades of the 21st century showing theoretical reflections, empirical academic background, and points of divergence with studies from the global North. The paper states that differences emerge from the epistemological and ontological tension around the pre-linguistic trait of bodies, understood as embodied and territorialized experiences of performative discourses and materialities, where binary boundaries of the modern / colonial matrix intersect.
