Comments

There has been an increasing interest in turning to debates on critical materialism to understand feminist struggles and to link body politics to diverse forms of labour and its exploitation, looking at various scales, such as communities, subaltern territorialities and various ecologies. In this seminar, we want to engage in a dialogue about the possible contributions of a renewed critical materialism to feminist knowledge and struggles through an interdisciplinary dialogue and through the recounting of particular experiences of resistance in Latin America. The seminar will address questions of theorizing feminisms in the direction of a critical historical materialism that incorporates the multiple dimensions of current relations of ruling, including power over bodies and environments. We ask, what can a rereading of critical materialist feminism, situated in this moment of abysmal crisis, offer? Are there openings, nuances, and opportunities for new thinking and acting? Students will enquire into ways of theorizing and researching the intersections between feminisms and environmentalisms inspired in critical materialism, ecofeminism, feminist political ecology and technofeminism. Moreover, they will be able to analyze and discuss the role of work, knowledge, data and feminism to study current feminist mobilizations in Latin America. close
