RESUMENEn el presente texto se propone una mirada a la crisis desde la sostenibilidad de la vida como alternativa a la perspectiva hegemónica focalizada en los mercados. Se argumenta que la crisis es multidimensional y acumulada, civilizatoria, y que precede al estallido financiero. Se analizan sus consecuencias en términos de los procesos vitales y se propone abrir dos debates para afrontarla: qué entender por vida que merezca la pena ser vivida y cómo construir una responsabilidad colectiva en la generación de sus condiciones de posibilidad. Finalmente, se argumenta que es necesario devolver la economía al terreno de la discusión política.Palabras clave: crisis, sostenibilidad de la vida, conflicto capital-vida, capitalismo heteropatriarcal. Multidimensional crisis and life sustainabilityABSTRACT This text makes an argument for putting at the center sustainability of life when understanding the crisis, therefore challenging the hegemony of market-oriented perspectives. The crisis is characterized as a multidimensional and accumulated process preceding the financial meltdown. Its consequences in terms of life dynamics are explored. It is argued that there is an urgent need to open up two debates: what is a live that is worthwhile living, and how a collective responsibility in setting its conditions of possibility could be achieved. Finally the case is made for bringing economic debates back into the political realm.Key words: crisis, sustainability of life, capital-life conflict, hetero-patriarchal capitalism. Investigaciones Feministas INTRODUCCIÓNEstamos viviendo un cambio imparable que no podemos dejar al arbitrio del libre mercado. Para afrontarlo bajo criterios de justicia, es urgente romper con las miradas habituales de la crisis, tanto con la hegemonía de la ortodoxia, secuestrada por los mercados financieros, como con aquella mirada frecuente en la heterodoxia que se centra en la "economía real". La economía feminista, que es feminista en tanto en cuanto contiene una "pretensión de subversión" 1, puede jugar un papel 1 Expresión tomada de Sara Lafuente Funes.
The Spanish reproductive bioeconomy has bloomed in the last few decades. There are now over three hundred fertility clinics in Spain, which has become one of the main destinations for what is often called "reproductive tourism" in the European context. The phenomenon of assisted reproduction has been extensively studied within English-speaking countries of the global North, but not so much in the cluster of Spanish-speaking countries, with a few interesting exceptions. Following the invitation to collaborate in this special issue around reproduction in Latin America and Spain, we offer an analysis of how Spanish oocyte provision and domestic work function as part of global care chains (GCC). We will compare the results of two major projects: one focusing on domestic work and the other on egg donation programs, both in Spain. We will introduce different perspectives around care and GCC, discussing how transference of oocytes can be viewed as a type of feminized labor involving affective-care work, clinical work, and biological work. The framework of GCC, a concept used to unpack unjust power relations embedded in transferences of care in current neoliberal and globalized socioeconomic arrangements, can help to enable a conversation on how transferences of reproductive capacity might be reinforcing the stratification of reproduction. Cadeias (globais) de cuidados em tempos de crise: doação de óvulos e emprego doméstico na Espanha RESUMO A bioeconomia reprodutiva espanhola cresceu significativamente nas últimas décadas com a abertura de mais de trezentas clínicas de fertilidade em todo o país e se tornou, no contexto Europeu, um dos principais destinos do chamado "turismo reprodutivo." Embora o fenômeno da reprodução assistida tenha sido amplamente estudado nos países de língua inglesa do norte global, ele não tem sido devidamente analisado no mundo de língua espanhola, com exceções muito interessantes, mas poucas. Neste artigo, gostaríamos de aproveitar a oportunidade, surgida através do convite para colaborar nesta edição especial sobre reprodução na América Latina e na Espanha, para oferecer uma KEYWORDS Spanish reproductive bioeconomy; eggs-öocytes; transference of reproductive capacity-TRCs; assisted reproductive technologies-ARTs; global care chains PALAVRAS-CHAVE Bioeconomia reprodutiva espanhola; óvulos; transferências de capacidade reprodutiva; cadeias globais de cuidado; reprodução assistida PALABRAS CLAVE Bioeconomía reproductiva española; óvulos; transferencia de capacidad reproductiva (TCR); Cadenas globales de cuidados (CGC); tecnologías de reproducción asistida
