Folds and Unfolds of the Critical Extension

Contribution from the Feminist Event

Abstract

In this work, some Investigation group progress will be developed. The group is called Feminization of Critical Extension, which is part of the Critical Extension Work: theories and practices in Latin America and the Caribbean of the Latin American Council of Social Science (CLACSO). The objective of this group is to make visible some invisible ones who validates and reproduces the social division, technical and sexual of the extension practice, using two strategies: 1- to constitute the university extension in an object of analysis and 2- to revise the Theorical Corpus from the proposed categories by the academic and popular feminisms. Some preliminary results will be shown, they were taken from the Symptomatic Reading (Reading a text or a theorical corpus not just for what it says but for what omits or silences), what allows critical Elucidation of the sexist biases within the own practices and theorical constructions to make it possible to work on reconceptualizations and contributions. A new approach strategy is incorporated: the analysis of the Subjective Implication to allow the deployment of the opaque, to update, in this way, the Latin American and Caribbean critical extension and to walk the path with renewed steps, the path of the critical extension which has been started by others.
