El sujeto nómade como contraespacio epistemológico

Abstract

Rosi Braidotti (1954, Italy, Australia, The Netherlands) proposes and constructs thought and an epistemology which intertwines contemporary poststructuralist feminist theories. I will focus my analysis on the embodiment of the subject of knowledge as a new epistemological critique of hegemonic thought. I will start by revisiting Braidotti’s philosophical legacy on which her projects stand regarding Nature and the subject of knowledge; secondly, I will revisit the articulation between anti-essentialism and the affirmation of an asymmetrical and positive sexual difference as the structural base for the nomadic subject. Thirdly, once her philosophy is defined as an ‘embodied materialism’, I will show the role of creative reading in the emergence of the nomadic body-subject in terms of a becoming of feminist subjectivity.
