It was originally created in Spanish with the acronym ECO, which stands for “Escritura Crítica Orgánica” COW ( Critical Organic Writing), based on the mythology of the nymph Echo. It also stems from the idea that perhaps we are only repeating or reproducing the patriarchal framework when it comes to obedience to heteronormativity, and consequently, we are immersed in a binary version of things, victims-victimizers. In reality, we are complex and cosmic beings with diverse perspectives and the right to critical thinking and the transformation of realities, as well as discovering ourselves as fully human. Just like Echo, we only want to be loved, wanted, and accepted, and to make that happen, we only repeat the last word.
COW is a methodology I developed during my doctoral studies where I decode pedagogical violence in the teaching of writing. In this class, I’m going to ask you to go back to the origin of your writing, “writing by hand.” Each time you read, take notes on your reflections and spontaneous thoughts. When we use handwriting, we engage more of the brain’s cortex and connect with memory on a deeper level. Reading takes on another dimension. The notes may not be sequential or make apparent sense to the reader, but they have a lot of meaning for the writer. This week, you must read the suggested texts and take handwritten notes. You should share at least two pages of your notes. The notes won’t be judged as good or bad; they are simply a demonstration of your attention to the reading, and your first step to COW.
In this assignment, you must take into consideration what you read.

From COW and Echo
6. After watching The myth of Narcissus and Echo- Iseault Gillespie: “What does it mean to reproduce ideas? What is the moral of the story of Echo, and how does it relate to COW and to Gender?”
In the context of COW, it encourages students to break away from mere repetition and engage in critical thinking, originality, and personal reflection in their writing.
From Rita Segato;
7.How does Rita Segato conceptualize the relationship between economic neoliberalism and the feminicidal violence in Ciudad Juárez?
