Tuesday Draft Questions - Carter Rowell
1. In "What Ecuador's Feminist History Can Teach Us All," the author discusses how the term "puta" has been reclaimed within the Ecuadorian feminist movement: "their definition of puta is...slut. Our definition of puta is all-terrain puta" (Teen Vogue 10). How does the reclaiming of this word parallel the feminism movement in America?
2. In the interview with Julieta Paredes, she states that it is important to "question the Eurocentric meaning of [feminism]" (Paredes 124). How would you define the Eurocentric meaning of feminism?
3. In "Dissidence and Community Feminism," Julieta Paredes describes how "gender is not only a descriptive, but also a performative category" (Paredes 9). What do you think it means for gender to be a performative category?
