Symposium
Contribution
This paper will focus on how women with no university education and only primary or no education, known as “other women” (Beck-Gernsheim, et al, 2003; De Botton et al, 2005) participate in critical communicative research. In gender research the researched women are taken into account and are valued as subjects and social agents as well as the driving force behind their own transformation and the social transformation of their group. In this egalitarian dialogue researchers are responsible for providing the international scientific knowledge on the topic being studied. The researched women, who are the subjects of the study, provide their experience. In 2001, after her participation in the seminar entitled Women and Social Transformation, in which women without an academic background had a space available to them to voice their ideas Judith Butler stated: I was very moved, extremely moved by the voices that I’ve heard and I believe that, this morning when we heard about literacy, I saw and heard what it means for some women to learn to read. I have returned to the basic, perhaps the most fundamental tenet of feminism, which has to do – I think – with a sense of empowerment.
