Abstract

This interview aims to bring into play what feminist women from Nuestra América understand as/by a genealogy incarnated of themselves based on their own life stories; from but also beyond feminism and existing as women. For this, we organized it as a duet, bringing into dialogue two feminists from different generations and places of speech: Breny Mendonza, from Honduras and the United States, and Karina Ochoa, from Mexico. They are academic feminists, with particular research perspectives and life experiences. Our aim was, therefore, to sew the dialogue from their existence, involvement with feminisms, specific bodily and emotional passages from their lives and readings about the Latin and Central American feminist movements, dealing “to trace the production what is happening” from our guts.
