Abstract

This article is an analysis of the possible silences, frictions and resistances in spaces such as activism, academia and in everyday life, from a feminist pers-pective. As we know in these contexts, hegemonic, patriarchal, capitalist and colonialist voices silence subordinate subjects. Therefore, it is proposed the use of feminist methodologies in research, as well as activism that allows us to dialo-gue with groups or individuals who have lived A terrible violence, as is the case of Mayan women in Guatemala, protagonists, rebels, who take the floor in the book Tejidos que lleva el alma. An example of how we can build leaks in every political space, from the personal to the public, understanding that dichotomies have been built to avoid talking about our own contradictions and even the ways in which we build our political agencies.
