La apuesta política de Vandana Shiva: los saberes de las mujeres y la sostenibilidad de la vida
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper I will examine Vandana\nShiva�s ecofeminist thought with two goals: on the one hand, I will argue that her ecofeminism defines a vitalist materialist approach\nof feminine roots, since Shiva concedes\nan epistemological value to the practices\nand knowledge historically originated from the sustainability tasks that women have carried out. On the other hand and as a consequence, I will defend that she presents a political proposal, which entails a suggestive\nand radical redefinition of the traditional concept of politics. Finally, I will try to show that the ability of attributing political meaning to experiences and actions of specific women allows for a change in perspective that Shiva accomplishes in an extremely fruitful double movement: the recognition of the existing and the affirmation of politics as present.
