| Resumo: | The article first discusses the difficulty of analyzing the production of knowledge in a context marked by repression and war in Kurdistan. Then it explores the stance Jineolojî has taken against the Turkish state as a colonizing state, and against feminism and academia as spaces that produce social hierarchies. This second part shows how Jineolojî is presented as a feminine science that aims to challenge the monopolization of women’s narratives in countries of the South by dominant institutions and discourses in countries of the North, and seeks to democratize knowledge by making it accessible to marginalized and insurgent populations. The article also explore the place of Jineolojî in the global landscape of socially legitimate knowledge. Finally, it focuses on the geographical and intellectual mobility of the women who contribute to Jineolojî, which provides an additional perspective by shedding light on their career paths and their impact on global knowledge. |
