Abstract
The interpretation of the past and the understanding of the present is based on the approach to the writing of History and the deep study of contexts from a multidisciplinary field. Through an analytical methodology on the work of the Brazilian Adriana Varejão and the Portuguese Joana Vasconcelos, our aim is to demonstrate their relationship with postcolonial and western feminism respectively, operating in terms of intersectionality, according to two different geopolitical contexts and situations of domination. We conclude that, although Varejão explicitly expresses gender violence linked to the processes of Brazilian colonization and miscegenation, and Vasconcelos focuses her discourse towards Eurocentric binarism, both show certain destabilization to the unifying and continuous function, typical of traditional historiography.
