Race, Class, Gender and Countryside. Feminist Epistemologies of the Margin

Abstract

In my article I am trying to explore ways in which Polish feminismcan expand its knowledge about woman living in the countryside. To this purposeI recall theories from black feminist thought and postcolonial studies which helpto enrich subaltern epistemologies. To renegotiate regimes of visibility, which limitour imagination, I use these theories to analyze pop culture representations of rurality(documentary Warszawa do wzięcia and docusoap Chłopaki do wzięcia). Referring tobell hooks’ theory of the margin and to postcolonial writings of Gayatri ChakravortySpivak and Donna Haraway’s concept of situated knowledges, which all helpto develop our knowledge about different kinds of oppression and their intersectionality,I want to draw attention to these dimensions of sexism which don’t fit intorigid categories of “problems faced by woman from big cities”.
