Scientific discourse as domination in the genesis of resistance in female teachers

Abstract

Introduction. Scientific discourse and resistances are social constructions that subjugate university women in South America. Achieved goals. The essay analyzes the definition of scientific discourse to understand the resistance of female teachers in their social practices in Venezuela. This discourse is interpreted as the legitimization and production of Modernity; the hegemony of knowledge and power; concealment and visualization; the construction of the subject; the universality of the subject; naturalization; domination and distribution of the body-gender. Method. The method employed is documentary research and hermeneutic analysis to assemble an essay. Results and discussion. Scientific discourse monopolizes the intellectual capital that forces female teachers to create a generalized, non-contextualized aesthetics of doxo knowledge, according to a regimented and prescriptive system. It is an ideology incarnated in the Latin-American university, assumed as the power that shows what has happened in disciplinary knowledge, through written narrative histories. This discourse is the power to create perceptions of underestimation and subjugation of myself, making female teachers believe that they have little or no or cannot develop technological skills and is linked to epistemic violence in the generation of technical knowledge by producing standard knowledge-technologies. It is philosophical subjugation, control of intellectual capital and the subjection of the body, rationality and interaction originated by the oppression of the predetermined, dominant, hierarchical, and procedural system. Scientific discourse imposes itself by developing heterosexist and endosexist logic in the generation of cognition/knowledge. Finally, it is a power that segregates the corporeal and productive presence of university women, visualizing the silence and the hiddenness of sciences visible from their epistemes of Venezuelan female teachers.
