Gender and the relationship with the political body from Oyèrónkẹ Oyěwùmí - a discussion since the invention of women: making african sense for western gender discourses
The main objective of this dissertation is to present the work The invention of women: making african sense for western gender discourses (1997) in the Yorùbá thinker Oyèrónkẹ Oyěwùmí, also exposing how her thought has been received and who her interlocutors are. Given the novelty and originality of Oyewum's thought, the first chapter, which is the text of this qualification, exposes what it is and how the construction of the genre took place, passing through the reflection of the origin of the body and that of the political body. At the end of the chapter, we brought the comments of other thinkers about her work. For the second chapter, we intend to develop what was previously presented in this first one, but with a focus on Yoruban relations, because as we initially stop to highlight the depreciation arising from westerncentrism and somatocentrality and how these concepts make up the structure of western governance , posteriorly we will focus on pre-colonial Yorubaland.
