The emergence of global knowledge societies is recently
questioning the meaning and relevance of local knowledge in the
context of Southern countries. Women have proved to be the central
actors in the multiple channels of local-global networking, using
these new social ties for the negotiation of old and new elements
of knowledge, scientific knowledge and development discourses. The
inherent politicisation of knowledge and the direct objective of
transforming societal institutions are not only signs of resistance
against global hegemony, but serve for a new definition and for a
defence of local culture and of local knowledge.
