Abstract

Since the nineteen seventies and eighties in England and the United States, gender studies, postcolonial studies and queer theories have arisen around and within women’s liberation movements and sexual and ethnic minorities. These theoretical currents have made an essential contribution when pondering the objectivity and neutrality of science. From constructivist and post-structural positions, we know that science and knowledge are contextual, related to the cultural wisdom during each historical period, and that they transfer these interpretive frameworks to whatever they produce.
