HERNANDEZ CASTILLO, Rosalva Aída. Posmodernismos y feminismos: diálogos, coincidencias y resistencias. Desacatos [online]. 2003, n.13, pp.107-121. ISSN 2448-5144.

From a critical reading of Anglo-Saxon postmodern feminism, this article seeks to recover those methodological and epistemological proposals which may prove useful to Latin Americans who are questioning ethnocentric paradigms of Western positivism. The fact of having theoretical feminists, defenders and detractors of postmodernism, exchange ideas enables the author to approach the debates on the patriarchal nature of Western science and the epistemological and political quests undertaken from different angles of feminism to construct a non-ethnocentric knowledge and feminist practice which includes diversity.
