CALLE, Laura. Methodological Notes for Collectively Building Knowledge on Vindicative Processes Lived by Women in the Tri-Border Area (Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil). Tabula Rasa [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.151-174.  Epub Mar 02, 2022. ISSN 1794-2489.

Drawing from a theoretical-methodological approach, this article examines the process of making up room for collectively built knowledge by several women’s rights defense movements in the Tri-Border area belonging to Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Adopting the research process as a co-theorization exercise and bringing about horizontal dialogues between anthropology and social movements, this article describes and reflects upon how this working approach allows moving on in theorizing upon women’s movements, while being displayed by themselves as a tool for articulation, deliberation, and emancipation. Likewise, we show the need to acknowledge manifold oppression axes or systems as the center of debate, and the need to articulate several political agendas so that we are able to free ourselves of essentialist homogenizing views around social movements in general and feminism in particular.

Keywords : social movements; women; tri-border area; co-theorizing; feminism.
