Descripción
Sumario:In this article, we aim to identify the contributions of decolonial feminism to feminist studies of disability, emphasizing the implications of considering ability as a colonial category, as well as the pursuit of theoretical and methodological foundations aligned with the decolonization of times, spaces, and ways of engaging with disability. To achieve this, we briefly contextualize decolonial feminism. Subsequently, we argue that ability is a colonial category. Afterward, we point to modernity as the genealogy of ableism. We conclude the text by highlighting elements that support the relevance of feminist disability studies engaging in dialogue with decolonial feminism, as well as the interconnection of these fields with the concepts of ability and disability.
