  Although the movement of gender across hemispheres is far from complete, it is important to recognize the way in which the traffic of gender took place in and through material conditions. One notable method of translating and migrating concepts is through academic journals, and the debates on the uses of gender have revealed broader reflections on how concepts come to carry epistemic weight. The transnational citational market is one key dimension in this process as who gets cited, where, and by whom exposes the routes through which theories have traveled in global contexts (Lima Costa 2014b: 142). In light of the conceptual travel and use of gender, Latin American feminisms ask that one consider the way in which the global privileging of English as the linguistic medium impacts what knowledge is allowed to circulate (Lima Costa 2014b: 142). Moreover, these reflections bring to the fore the fact that English cannot be viewed as a transparent medium as its privileged status sets the stage for what gets taken up as worth translating in the first place. It should then be no surprise that gender has traveled so far. Its traffic is a marker of the imperative to create conditions for productive “mis-translations” that create spaces for heterogeneous conceptual development (Lima Costa 2014b: 144).
