Theory as liberatory practice

Abstract

From the autobiographical work of the author, the article states that the conception of theory as a place for healing the wounds of the past. From such perspective and adopting a black feminist point of view, the document presents a critique in the ways the feminist field understands and circulates a notion of theory that stands against practice, as well as the places where practice takes place without the recognition of theory. The text concludes with an approach to a feminist theory that builds a mass-based feminist resistance struggleand collaborates with the processes of pain healing.
