A theoretical and testimonial approach to “Community, Peasant and Popular Feminisms in Abya Yala”

Abstract

This essay offers a theoretical and testimonial approach to the Community, Peasant, and Popular Feminisms in Abya Yala, understood as a living force of epistemic, ethical, aesthetic, and spiritual transformation. From a situated first-person voice, it proposes a migration ontology as both an analytical category and an embodied experience that disrupts the binary logics imposed by colonialism. Migration is understood not merely as forced displacement, but as a reconfiguration of being in the world and as an epistemic and political praxis. Spirituality, testimony, aesthetics, and care are articulated as interdependent dimensions that traverse the thought and practice of FCCyPAY in order to reflect on migration. This work is rooted in concrete territorial experiences, contributing, through orality, walking, ritual, and ancestral memory, a radical anti-colonial proposal to rethink knowledge, the body, territory, and life.
