The Circulation of Feminist Theories and the Challenges of Translation

Abstract

In this essay we explore the specificities of the travels and translations of feminist theories, taking into consideration the mediations carried out by cultural magazines and scientific journals. We discuss how a feminist canon is constructed through transnational citation practices, and conclude with some examples of publications that are openning up spaces for the construction of new feminist knowledges through conter-translation practices.
