Decolonial Turn

collective constructions and perceptions from black feminisms and Latin American queer/cuir activism

Abstract

This study aims to promote a critical reflection on decolonial and intersectional perspectives on black feminist and queer/cuir movements in Latin America. The research in question is of a qualitative nature, bibliographic and fieldwork. The theoretical framework used authors such as Ballestrin (2013) and Quijano (1992), Lambert (2019), Preciado (2022), among others. The research technique used a semi-structured questionnaire with the participants of the mini-course, taught by the authors, entitled "The decolonial turn: intersectionality and feminist and queer/cuir movements in Latin America" ​​and participant observation in the classroom. The main results indicate that the construction of decolonial practices involves changes in the ways of acting, feeling and thinking in the contemporary world.
