| Sumario: | From a decolonial feminist perspective that recovers the body as a necessary episteme, this article seeks to problematize the question of honor for Palestinian women in connection with the political meaning for the national cause of the land occupied by the State of Israel. Its purpose is to stress the senses of honor around the notion of ’body-territory’, in order to address the relationship between the female body and the Palestinian territory as a symbolic continuum. The period of history that begins with the war of 1948 that preceded the creation of the State of Israel in Palestinian territory is contemplated. To the extent that Palestinian history has been systematically made invisible by official records, the dimension of collective memory is important, such as that recovered from the testimonies of surviving women. In this way, the different historical and daily violences that Palestinian women go through are relieved, where honor appears as a permanently linked issue, in recent years attended by the feminist movement of the region. Towards the end, a reflection is offered on possible dialogues between Palestinian and Latin American feminists, taking into account the challenges that arise before the different processes of decolonization of the body-territories. |
