“[…] the issue is how we contextualize without separating the context, without decontextualizing it from the problem we want to analyze, from the lives of the women we relate, from ourselves. How to weave that context so that it is the meat of reflection, the network of arteries and veins through which our ideas run and at the same time what allows us to see and understand 'in another way' the lives that animate our stories and relationships. of power that affect them. How to avoid making it a backdrop? Not the landscape that frames what I tell, but the story itself, that's what it's about and how I do it in a feminist way” (Cejas, 2018).

This book is an invitation to think about the context in research in a different way based on the theoretical and methodological keys that feminist thought and cultural studies offer us as places of political intervention and theoretical imagination. It is also an expression of the model of feminist cultural criticism that drives us: defending fantasy as an articulation of the possible in the midst of a struggle for meanings and a way of daring the dangers of the “single story.”
