Feminismos en Movimiento, Feminismos en Protesta

Abstract

ResumenEn este ensayo propongo una gramática político-conceptual, un marco interpretativo para repensar las dinámicas cambiantes de lo que normalmente denominamos "movimientos sociales," haciendo énfasis en los feminismos en movimiento y buscando entender sus recientes expresiones de/en protesta. Mis reflexiones se basan principalmente en mi inmersión en el activismo y la academia feminista en Brasil, así como en el trabajo etnográfico longitudinal y virtual que vengo realizando hace varios años sobre diversos feminismos, movimientos sociales, ONGs, redes de activismo, movimientos antiglobalización, y protestas en la última década en Brasil y otras partes de América Latina.

Heterogeneity and Instability: Theoretical–Methodological Outcomes of Three Investigations on Land and Agrarian Movements and the State

“…In this article, we are particularly interested in assemblages as the production of the collectives, which is why we stress the strict definition of agencement. In keeping with Alvarez (2019), we understand that describing how, when, and where these assemblages occur would be the most suitable procedure for dealing with and producing these unstable research objects, as noted in Penna (2018). Yet how should this description be done?…”

“…As we argue throughout this article, heterogeneity and instability contribute to our conclusion that certain movements and states have existential properties that differ from the stable ones common in hegemonic theories. Therein lies the challenge of finding ways to analyze and theorize about such phenomena, a challenge we share with Alvarez (2014Alvarez ( , 2019, who addresses the heterogeneous composition and continuous transformation of the Latin American feminist movement. The amplification of our dialogues with the works of Escobar and Osterweil (2009), Müller and Schurr (2016), and Rodríguez-Giralt et al (2018), among others, lead us toward bridging theories (as suggested also by Jensen, 2020) that consider heterogeneity as a constitutive part of the phenomena under study, namely actornetwork theory (ANT) and assemblage theory, inspired by Deleuze and Guattari (1987).…”

Acción colectiva en el 8 de marzo, prueba empírica de tres modelos teóricos

“…Este hecho da cuenta de la complejidad de la acción colectiva y la necesidad de incluir múltiples variables y explorar su papel en diferentes contextos y ante diversas problemáticas. En este sentido, y desde el estudio de la acción colectiva desde el feminismo, Alvarez (2019) propone el estudiar la emergencia en los movimientos feministas, entendida como la formación de nuevos comportamientos colectivos derivado de la conjunción de diferentes feminismos en determinada acción colectiva o movimiento social de mujeres. Es viable suponer que la participación en la acción colectiva pueda tener un efecto en cómo interactúan las variables estudiadas en las mujeres.…”

Blocking anti-choice conservatives: feminist institutional networks in Mexico and Brazil (2000–2018)

“…We need to win over public opinion for women to defend us" (Interview 12, CFEMEA). Following these differences, the two networks participated in the Supreme Court's public hearing (an institution that does not exist in the Mexican judiciary) in 2018 to discuss and support ADPF 442 (Alvarez 2019). A large "Festival for Women's Lives" was held outside the Supreme Court building, uniting diverse feminist activists, such as NGO representatives, party activists, Black people, Indigenous people, Quilombolas, trans and non-binary people, lesbians, young people, rural workers, and students, among others.…”
