BUSTOS ARELLANO, Aurora Georgina. From knowledge to violence: the epistemic dimension of sexual violence testimony. Estud.filos [online]. 2022, n.66, pp.289-310.  Epub 06-Set-2022. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.347698.

The aim of this article is to highlight the epistemic dimension present in the testimony of victims of sexual violence, which takes place through various mechanisms of epistemic injustice, whether testimonial or hermeneutic. In order to show the effects of the relation between epistemic wrongs and sexual violence, I focus on some cases of sexual injustice in Mexican society which support the contention that the systematic recurrence of sexual violence and epistemic injustices lead to a particular form of epistemic dehumanization.

Palavras-chave : testimony; epistemic injustice; sexual violence; dehumanization; rape culture; testimonial injustice; hermeneutic injustice.
