Convergences, divergences, and positioning between the decolonial and the postcolonial from feminist perspectives of the South

Abstract

The adjectives “decolonial”, “decolonial” and “poscolonial” are not neutral, as in the term used in social sciences and in the academic field. However, the indistinct example of myisms in articles, books and academic events leads me to think that something similar is happening, which the specific use of a student follows only a personal preference. The imbrications and differences in terms of terminations are debated with greater frequency from disciplines such as Latin American studies or social work, for example, if it decides that decolonial promotes anglicism as an English translation, which decolonial can be understood as a simple disarming, dismantling the reversal of the colonial loot (Meschini y Porta, 2017), however, such debates are scarce inside the feminist vision of the South.
