Testimonios of Momentos: Reading and Trusting my Embodied Epistemology

ORCID Icon
Pages 310-321 | Published online: 26 May 2021
 

Abstract

In this essay, I explore the concept of embodied knowledge that stems from the Brown female body grounded in the critical scholarship by Chicana Feminist Theorists. I share three testimonios of momentos—moments in my life—where my embodied knowledge, through emotions, feelings, and senses guided my practices. Through this (re)membering, I illustrate how critical embodied knowledge is lived and passed down to our younger generations. Lastly, I discuss the notion of embodied knowledge in relation to my research praxis and pedagogy as possibilities for (re)imagining work that heals and humanizes the experiences of our children and communities.

Notes

1 Spanish was the language I used with my mother growing up, and is the one I use with my son. In these testimonios I share, I incorporate language as was represented in my lived experiences. To support readers who do not speak Spanish, I integrated the English translations in brackets.
