Female and popular political activism: a study on the experiences and practices of women into Social Movements in Natal/RN and Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Women's Movements. feminisms. Latin American Social Thought.
The study proposal is to develop an ethnographic work on the experiences and practices of women organized in popular social movements, inserted in peripheral and urban territories, in Brazil, in the city of Natal/RN and in Argentina, in the city of Buenos Aires. We start from women's movements in order to identify what are the narratives and interpretations about the world, what are the social and political relationships with their territories, such as the hegemonic feminist project and with other feminisms. We defend a production of knowledge based on women and feminized bodies, who, through their practices and political actions, daily resist the colonial modern capitalist project underway in peripheral territories. To this end, we will use decolonial feminism as a basis, as we defend the production of other knowledge from the global South, having as a theoretical-methodological reference the studies of feminist theorists: María Lugones (2014;2020); Yuderkys Espinosa Miñoso (2009;2020); Ochy Curiel (2020); Glória Anzaldúa (2020) and Rita Segato (2012; 2013). We will seek to problematize hegemonic feminism and present decolonial feminism as an epistemological possibility for the production of knowledge and as a possibility of breaking with the invisibility of knowledge and political practices developed by women and feminized and non-white bodies in urban peripheral territories.
