Metodologias feministas e estudos de gênero: Articulando pesquisa, clínica e política

Abstract

This article presents feminism as a theoretical, epistemological and political project, as well as its articulations between the academic research and the feminist therapy. Initially, the feminist concept is emphasized as a historical, political and philosophical-epistemological movement. The feminism generations, commonly known as waves of the feminism, are shown, pointing out their main characteristics and concerns. In addition, considerations about different feminist epistemologies, methodologies and therapy are developed. Finally, the lack of institutionalization of studies on feminist and gender, as a legitimate knowledge incorporated to the academic curriculum is highlighted, thus revealing the marginal position that such studies still currently occupy in the Academic, Research and Therapeutic Fields.
