The objective of this presentation is to contribute to this space for discussion, as recent graduates and researchers, based on a state of the art of the development of feminist, gender and sexuality currents in Argentina.
The work methodology will consist of a brief but exhaustive survey of the advances in feminist geography, gender and sexualities in Argentina, the recognition of the main lines of work and research and the identification of the theoretical framework on which they are based. the main reference authors. To do this, we will consider the results of past and ongoing research, as well as contributions from our undergraduate and graduate training, field work and professional work.
Taking the questions that guide the session as a reference, we can approach a first preliminary conclusion: feminist geographies in Argentina are still an incipient field, although in recent years production has increased markedly (Fernández Caso and Guberman, 2015; Souto, Guberman and Vago, 2019; Colombara, 2019; Larreche, 2020) and with a very heterogeneous development in the academic field and more oriented towards the didactics of geography. To a large extent, the contributions were triggers to think about pertinent pedagogical approaches for secondary, tertiary and university education, where the contents of the discipline that can be approached from gender perspectives are contemplated.
We identify two axes of analysis: the articulation between feminist geography and Comprehensive Sexual Education and Environmental Education. Here it is necessary to mention a series of factors that feed possible hypotheses that explain the uneven and heterogeneous development of this thematic field: the impulse that the sanction of the Comprehensive Sexual Education Law supposes, in 2006; the third feminist wave, the “Ni Una Menos” movement and the expansion of rights and the “greening” of social struggles with a feminist and decolonial perspective.
