Mujeres, feminismo y género: un debate historiográfico en Cuba

Abstract

Inside the social and historical context in that the gender investigations have taken place in Cuba in the last thirty years, the balance still throws a strong resistance to use the gender theories and less, still, the tranversalitatión of these concepts in a large part of the works published so far; this has impeded the peak of the historical investigations and other Studies of Gender to the same rhythm that the Latin American production. The debate is, because, I intern and, except for disciplines like the psychology and the sociology, the other branches inside the Social Sciences are determined by the suspicion of encouraging the democratic proposals that it bears the feminist theory and of gender. It reigns, then, the Luke warmness of the critical reflections as for the theoretical thing and their application in the investigations. On that said he/she thinks about a critical balance of the historiography of the women and of gender that centers the current Cuban polemic.
