Sumario:This paper explores the use of ludic pedagogies as methodologies for participatory action research and militant investigations, drawing from feminist epistemology and popular education. It shares concrete experiences that challenge neoliberal subjectivities promoted by the dominant economic system—such as meritocracy, competition, and entrepreneurship—through playful, collective learning processes. Rooted in feminist economics, the proposal emphasizes the standpoint critique to reframe research practices by placing life at the center of analysis. Ludic pedagogies are presented as tools that resist neoliberal logics, fostering agency and collective reflection to subvert intersecting systems of gender, race, and class oppression. Rather than offering prescriptive methods, this approach contributes to broader pedagogical and political efforts to transform research into a non-extractive, collaborative practice aligned with the struggles of marginalized communities. As part of critical and popular pedagogies, ludic methodologies open space for rethinking knowledge production and advancing emancipatory political projects through creative, situated, and participatory means.
