Abstract (may include machine translation)

In this chapter, I would like to discuss the traveling of theory, and consequently, the traveling of concepts, as important aspects of the transnational perspective in feminist thought. Understanding traveling theory as a particular form of translation, I consider some conceptual tools that can help us better understand these processes as they occur in specific contexts. Starting with the idea of transnational literacy as developed by Susan Stanford Friedman (2001), I argue here for a corresponding notion of transgenerational literacy as a prerequisite for a transgenerational dialogue.
