Disfare il genere e decolonizzare l'immaginario. sguardi pedagogici e pratiche educative per un'accoglienza trasformativa

The paper intends to reflect on the parameters that define/re-define identity in the perspective of doing and undoing gender (Butler, 2004), through a decolonial methodology that wants to promote a worldview that embraces the plurality of differences (Burgio, 2022), questioning the western epistemologies that have historically dominated and imposed uniforming modes of thought and life (Latouche, 2014; Nanni, 2023). The picture books of bell hooks, promoter of an engaged pedagogy, will be explored and analyzed in order to promote an educational and transformative project (hooks, 2020; Bianchi, 2022) addressed to social workers involved with migrant subjects, refugees and applicants for international protection (Catarci, 2011), in a cross-sectional way of peaceful and inclusive encounter.
