Epistemological, political and social transformations and challenges in menstrual alternative cultures

Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of the social, political and emotional characteristics of the alternative politics and cultures of menstruation, as well as the changes that are happening in them. For this purpose, its intensification and diversification and the various political-sensory strategies are analysed, as well as the affects, and ideologies of gender, health and consumption that are taking place in those proposals. The starting hypothesis is that analysing all these changes that take place in critical menstrual proposals can serve to identify and examine more general transformations in society. The article concludes by proposing some epistemological, political and social challenges to continue investigating these alternative cultures.
