Topic

Centered on the work in the field of gender studies at the Universidad Autónoma de Mexico, this essay explores the production of knowledge, pedagogical practices and theoretical maneuvers inspired by Anzaldúa’s work. In particular, it delves into the construction of pedagogical imperatives (pedagogies of wonder/wander and of interruption) inside the classroom, which travel and expand to be in contact with social urgencies, as Anzaldúa advices. The essay ends with an example of this kind of pedagogical operation through the interruption of a letrado, or intellectual, by a deslenguada, wild tongue. Anzaldúa “stands in the way” (se atraviesa) of Paz, a recognized intellectual and his ideas of identity and knowledge related to nation formation.
