Abstract
In this text, I present a reflection focused on the urgency of not losing sight of the symbolic/discursive re/creation and re/production of gender as a structuring power of the androcentric culture in institutions of higher education, in this case in Mexico. My approach is sustained by an analysis of what I call the rhetoric of disparagement; a process of symbolic erasure of the critical voices of women academics’ at the Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez (UACJ), Mexico (2008-2012). I argue that the im/possibility of questioning the normalization of gendered practices –tacit and explicit– within the institution is mis/informed by the (aloud and silent) articulation between the rhetoric of disparagement and the rhetorical gender scaffolding, socio-historical symbolic figures in the UACJ.
