Resumo
Feminism emerges from the struggles of the subject
‘woman’, installing a set of political practices and identities. What would
this group, feminist women, have to do with language? Cameron (1992,
1998) shows that feminists have treated language as an essential part of
the struggle for women’s liberation. She points out that the organized
movements in the nineteenth century put language as a central element
of their claims, rejecting the restrictions on women’s public speaking.
This centrality continued throughout the twentieth century and refl ected
in linguistic studies in the late 1970s. However, Cameron (1998) notes
that theoretical pluralism prevails in feminist discussions about language
in the last thirty years. This context is the backdrop for this article.
Reviewing articles, chapters and doctoral theses by women in Brazil, this
article highlights a relatively homogeneous fi eld of counter-hegemonic
knowledge production that articulate linguistic theory and description
with practices of feminist identity. This fi eld shows that feminists push
identity to the core of science, not as object but as an organizer of the
research principles. Feminist linguists in Brazil, especially those infl uenced
in recent years by discussions on language, action, and power
(Cameron et al., 1993), confronted the interest in dismissing power
struggles involved in linguistic research.
