DIREITOS HUMANOS E IDENTIDADE DE GÊNERO: O GIRO DECOLONIAL COMO POSSIBILIDADE DISRUPTIVA DOS PARADIGMAS MODERNOS EUROCÊNTRICOS

HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER IDENTITY: THE DECOLONIAL TURN AS A DISRUPTIVE POSSIBILITY OF MODERN EUROCENTRIC PARADIGMS.

Abstract

With the help of the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach methodology, historical and monographic procedure methods, and indirect documentation research technique, this article investigates the consequences of the phenomenon of modernity from the concept of coloniality in gender issues to contemporaneity, with the objective of demonstrating the contributions of a decolonial perspective as a disruptive possibility. Therefore, it initially presents the origin and historical evolution of feminism, organized in waves, which develops the concept of gender, analyzed in a second moment. Next, the concept of coloniality and its historical constitution from modernity as a project of power instituted in a Eurocentric way is approached. It is understood that, given the above, the decolonial perspective on gender relations inserts aspects that were previously disregarded, such as the historical and cultural domination itself exercised over identities perceived as vulnerable or abnormal, enabling a possible break with the logic of naturalization that authorizes and perpetuates behavior that violates human rights, causing, albeit indirectly, in the encouragement and cultivation of a culture of naturalized gender violence.
