Abstract

The feminisms have generated epistemological and methodological criticisms of modern science that privilege the rationalist, androcentric, and sexist perspective. Because of the change in perspective, promoted by criticism feminist, about the modern science, the psychology has established dialogues with feminisms, which has produced a review of research themes and methods. The objective of this research is to identify, in the Brazilian journals in the area of psychology, the production on gender in the field of Developmental Psychology from 1996 to 2016. We seek the themes, concepts, methods and feminist authors that base the researches that use the gender articulated with the age group. The analyzes sought to establish identifications and dialogues with the formulations about gender in the different feminisms, namely: gender as a marker of differences between the sexes, thus identity; Gender articulated from intersectionalities; and/or gender as an appropriate concept by post-identity theories or queer studies, denying biological determinism and affirming gender is performativity. We will situate the productions in the face of these possibilities of appropriation of the concept of gender and we will draw a map of how Developmental Psychology has appropriated feminist epistemes.
