Féminisme et mouvement antimondialisation

Abstract

Cet article propose une réflexion critique et engagée sur l’articulation des luttes féministes et des mouvements antimondialisation. Il revient sur l’analyse trop souvent éludée du lien structurel entre patriarcat et mondialisation, pour ensuite suivre la genèse des récents mouvements contre la mondialisation, mettant en évidence l’invisibilisation de l’apport du féminisme dans l’interprétation qui est faite de ces nouvelles pratiques contestataires comme la reproduction du sexisme au sein des mouvements. Enfin, l’article interroge le féminisme lui-même, en particulier sa relative absence dans le mouvement global, son éloignement d’une critique radicale du pouvoir et les effets de son institutionnalisation.

Observing Protest from a Place: The World Social Forum in Dakar (2011)

“…This massive presence of women was not peculiar to Dakar. Women have made up half or more of the participants at World Social Forums from the outset (Eschle and Maiguashca, 2010;Masson, 2003). The virtual absence of African women was notable at the first events, however, reflecting the weakness of the WSF's ties to Africa in general.…”

“…There is no place for gender understood as a category of analysis (Scott, 1986) or for the notion of "intersectionality" (Dorlin, 2009): alter-global movements thus appear to "resist linking class, gender and race in a structural manner" (Masson, 2003: 102). The first texts to discuss the importance of women's issues in the forums were written by activists and published starting in 2003 (Karadenizli, Allaert, de la Cruz, 2003;Masson, 2003;Salazar, 2004;Bjork, 2004;Duddy, 2004). They were followed by academic publications often by researchers who were themselves directly involved in women's issues organizations taking part in alter-global forums.…”

Imaging an Expanding Molecular Robot World Using Super-Accuracy Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy

“…Clusters of syntaxin-1 (Syx-1) were observed previously by Hell, Lang and co-workers using stimulated emission depletion (STED) on PC-12 cell membrane sheets with immunostaining. 1 The clusters may be docking sites for large densecore secretory vesicles (LDCVs), which can then undergo exocytosis. In this study we transfected rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells with a plasmid encoding Syx-1 tagged with the photoactivatable protein mEos2 at the N-terminus.…”

“…We show that live observation of fibrin fiber growth in TIRF can be translated by this calibration in molecular information on the growth kinetics and molecular mechanisms of fibrin fibers formation. We recently demonstrated the concept of molecular robotics with a synthetic DNA-based nanowalker, dubbed a ''spider'' composed of a streptavidin protein "body" attached to three biotinylated DNA enzyme legs, along a one-dimensional track of chimeric DNA-RNA substrates positioned on a DNA origami (1,2). By cleaving its substrates, the spider weakens the binding energy between its legs and previously visited sites, resulting in a biased, processive, random walk towards fresh substrate.…”

“…In biology, hopping happens when membrane proteins locally confined ''jump'' to another confinement domain, when proteins sliding on DNA leave the double strand to diffuse in the local environment or when some neurotransmitters move near synapses. We recently implemented a novel inference approach that exploits the full information stored in a biomolecule trajectory to extract force [1] and diffusivity maps [2] from non-equilibrium tagged biomolecule motion. We showed that, when the motion is confined, only a few hundred points were necessary to extract precise and accurate maps.…”
