| contents | Tales We Tell: Imagining Feminist Pasts, Writing Feminist Futures Erin L. McCutcheon Arte Mexico oral history strategic practices The future of feminism depends not only upon its pasts, but also upon how these pasts are imagined in our present. One of feminism’s lasting legacies has been its critical interventions into methods of historical inquiry. However, as this issue suggests, feminism currently faces a “critical moment of erasure.” Feminist historians often remain trapped in divisive and deci - dedly non-feminist models of thinking about histories since the 1970s. This essay combats a lack of examples of “doing” feminist art history by demonstrating strategies that disrupt the writing and researching process. Drawing from my current research experience with wo - men artists in Mexico, I demonstrate how methods such as oral history, grounded theory, social movement, and postcolonial theories, provide the tools necessary to imagine tales of feminist pasts in ways that better solidify their relevance to a shared present and future. 2016 artículo científico 2007-9648 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722077916007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7220 Nierika application/pdf Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México Nierika (México) Num.10 |
