SALA, Núria Calafell. Decolonial menstruating. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e57907.  Epub 01-Jan-2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n157907.

Menstruation was part of a patriarchal colonization of bodies throughout the history of Western thought. In the past four years, however, a series of proposals has been straining such a colonization process, especially those born in the territories of Abya Yala. This article focuses on such examples that belong to the so-called Natural Gynecology, and analyses them through the semiotic exploration of two themes: on the one hand, the language that those discourses use in handbooks, fanzines or websites; on the other hand, the knowledge that they build and/or vindicate under the premises of female empowerment, health self-management and corporal pleasure.

Palavras-chave : Natural Gynecology; Menstruation; Bodies; Decolonial thought.
