Item type:Publication, Rethinking Gender in Health from a Critical, Intersectional, and Decolonial Feminist Perspective in Latin America(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025-01-01)Nowadays, it is important to denaturalize and make visible historical practices that perpetuate asymmetries of power in the field of health and mental health, questioning biological, androcentric, binary, sexist, and (cis)heteronormative discourses, especially in the face of the recognition of the complexity and diversification of gender as a system of social organization that influences asymmetries and inequalities. Also, in terms of understanding that there is a key rupture in the binary worldview of gender, and a rethinking around how many other structures exist that, in interaction with the gender system, create totally different, dynamic, and changing realities. In this way, the objective of this chapter is to offer a general overview of the issue of health in the Latin American Region, to problematize how this field has been approached under the interweaving of different systems of domination/exploitation in the psi disciplines and the effects that this has had both on the understanding of health and on practices—policies and actions aimed at addressing them, exposing the different epistemic violence and injustices, as well as inequalities, particularly toward people and groups, historically and systematically more vulnerable. Finally, the text underpins a series of reflections and proposals that, under a critical, intersectional, and decolonial gender approach, seek to bet on other ways of thinking and approaching health in the region.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reclaiming ontology for decoloniality: a critical realist critique of Mignolo's meta-theoretical priority of epistemology(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)In this article, I develop a critical engagement between decolonial thought and critical realism to propose a realist foundation for decoloniality. Through an internal critique of Walter Mignolo's work, I challenge the meta-theoretical prioritization of epistemology over ontology that underpins his critique of Western modernity. I argue that this position ultimately undermines the very possibility of meaningful decolonial critique, which requires a realist understanding of social structures such as the colonial matrix of power (CMP). By retrieving ontology as a legitimate category for decolonial analysis, I show that critical realism provides the necessary philosophical resources to account for the reality of coloniality beyond epistemic frameworks. This realist orientation allows decolonial critique to transcend cultural relativism, affirming its universal critical claims against Eurocentrism and its commitment to unveiling enduring structures of domination.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Living a livable body: Trans masculinities, surgery, and resistance in the Global South(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)Background In the Global South, transmasculine individuals often access gender-affirming care within systems marked by structural inequality, limited legal protections, and cisnormative medical frameworks. In Peru, the absence of trans-inclusive public health policies has rendered transmasculine surgeries rare, under-researched, and stigmatized, further marginalizing these experiences in both biomedical and academic discourses.Aim This study aims to explore the lived experience of a Peruvian trans man—among the first to undergo phalloplasty in the country—to examine how gender-affirming surgery can function as an act of self-determination, resistance, and survival under precarious conditions.Methods Using a single-case narrative design, this qualitative study draws from a four-hour in-depth interview and employs a feminist decolonial analytical framework. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key dimensions of the participant's experience, including healthcare navigation, bodily autonomy, and affective-political meanings of transition.Results Findings show that surgical transition in Peru is shaped by financial precarity, social stigma, and institutional neglect, yet also becomes a terrain for transmasculine agency. The participant reframed surgery not as correction, but as an embodied intervention toward livability, presence, and gender affirmation. Photography and bodily documentation emerged as practices of self-construction and resistance within a cisnormative and colonial context.Conclusion This article contributes to trans health scholarship from the Global South by foregrounding localized, intersectional narratives of transmasculine embodiment. It calls for trans-centered, decolonial healthcare models in Latin America and highlights how gender-affirming practices can be both personal and political acts of resistance and survival.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Disentangling (de)colonial teacher education in the Andes: Dilemmas and possibilities(Wiley, 2025-09-01)Based on recent discussions on language and decoloniality and employing an ethnographic approach, this article examines a teacher education program in “primary intercultural education” at a public university in the Southern Peruvian Andes, in a context with a majority Quechua‐speaking population and youth with diverse bilingual trajectories. The goal of this article is to complexify the categories of coloniality and decoloniality of language by studying a reflection‐based action conducted by grassroots Quechua activists and teacher educators, which involves developing an academic Quechua register with the aim of empowering students as authors of their texts in the Indigenous language. These activists assume their intervention as a decolonial and critical strategy to neutralize hierarchies with respect to the oppression of the Spanish language, deracialize mother tongue education, and incorporate a social justice approach to counteract a depoliticized view of interculturalism. However, simultaneously, these activists promote a neat, autonomous, and disembodied Quechua; disfavor translanguaging practices; and erase the signifier of bilingualism, reproducing the coloniality of language and disempowering many of the students. These results confirm the need for further cycles of critical reflection when developing reflection‐based actions.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Decoloniality and language scholarship – a critical intervention(De Gruyter, 2025-11-01)In this article, we argue that the way decoloniality is invoked in sociolinguistics runs the risk of becoming a buzzword that is sometimes deployed with inadequate attention to how its conceptual and political premises need to be critically contextualized. We propose three interconnected challenges that critical applied/sociolinguists would need to address more seriously in order to avoid the depoliticization of the discussions around language and (de)coloniality: (1) the insistence on an incommensurable non-western alterity outside modernity; (2) the production of new binaries despite trying to undermine them; and (3) the decontextualization of the studied phenomena from on-the-ground situations in highly complex circumstances. We claim, on the one hand, that 'Northern' appropriation of decoloniality can offer self-deluding comfort that one is engaging in a politics of emancipation, yet all that is taking place is a form of withdrawal from the messiness of contemporary politics. On the other hand, this depoliticized decoloniality is also instrumentalized in the Global South to romanticize indigeneity/minorities and exploit them for insidious political purposes, generating recursive internal differentiations and inequality.Scopus© Citations 13 1
