Exhibition "Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004): Thinking Between Worlds" at the Catalunya campus CRAI

From to

Catalunya campus CRAI

The exhibition "Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004): Thinking Between Worlds" has been inaugurated and can be visited at the CRAI on the Catalunya campus until October 3. The exhibition, organized by the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, is divided into a sample of 25 of the author's sketches, from the Lliles Benson Latin American Studies and Collections of the University of Texas at Austin.

Gloria Anzaldúa was a Chicana feminist author whose literary and philosophical work is part of the postcolonial or decolonial approach. Her reflection on social inequalities and the forms of production of borders, epistemic, between genders, between cultures, between societies and geographies (North and South) gave rise to what is known in the Anglo-Saxon world as border studies.

Its polysemic approach to the border (spatial, sexual and gender, geopolitical, ethnic, linguistic, literary) is a fundamental resource for addressing the social challenges of our current historical moment.
