| description |
In this paper we propose to examine the effects and implications of the adoption of an intersectional approach for the analysis in and from Latin American and Caribbean feminisms, which are included within the border space between academia and political activism, with the general purpose of re-politicizing and re-complex the intersectional perspective. To do this, in the first instance, we will draw political genealogies that allow us to historicize the concept and tie intersectionality to its foundational struggles and demands, recovering some theoretical-political experiences such as Lélia Gonzalez and Sueli Carneiro, Afro-Brazilian intellectuals and activists. In a second moment, we propose to carry out a political critique of the neutralization and uncritical expansion of intersectionality, as well as the processes of epistemic injustice that make ideas and theories visible in an asymmetric way according to specific locations.
From our perspective, recovering and re-signifying the experiences of local struggles and resistance led by those women who are located on the margins of hegemonic white feminism allows not only to question the foundations of modern Western knowledge proposed by a female subject with claims of universality, but also which in turn, enables new ways for the construction of knowledge taking as a starting point the experiences of the subjects themselves and carrying out a critical epistemology that contributes towards the emancipatory processes of our region. Likewise, we argue that locating the origins of intersectionality in these activism experiences allows it to recover its power as a political tool. |

En este trabajo proponemos examinar los efectos y las implicancias de la adopción de un enfoque interseccional para el análisis en y desde los feminismos latinoamericanos y caribeños los cuales se encuentran comprendidos dentro del espacio fronterizo entre academia y activismo político, con el propósito general de repolitizar y recomplejizar la perspectiva interseccional. Para ello, en primera instancia, trazaremos genealogías políticas que permitan historizar el concepto y anudar la interseccionalidad a sus luchas y demandas fundacionales recuperando algunas experiencias teórico-políticas como es el caso de Lélia Gonzalez y Sueli Carneiro, intelectuales y activistas afrobrasileñas. En un segundo momento, proponemos realizar una crítica política a la neutralización y expansión acrítica de la interseccionalidad, así como a los procesos de injusticia epistémica que visibilizan las ideas y teorías de manera asimétrica de acuerdo a locaciones específicas. Desde nuestra perspectiva, recuperar y resignificar las experiencias de luchas y resistencias locales protagonizadas por aquellas mujeres que se ubican en los márgenes del feminismo blanco hegemónico permite no solo poner en cuestión las bases del saber occidental moderno que propone un sujeto mujer con pretensiones de universalidad sino que a su vez, habilita nuevas vías para la construcción de saberes tomando como punto de partida las propias experiencias de lxs sujetxs y llevar adelante una epistemología crítica que contribuya hacia los procesos emancipatorios de nuestra región. Asimismo, sostenemos que ubicar los orígenes de la interseccionalidad en dichas experiencias de activismos permite recuperar su potencia como herramienta política. Neste documento propomos examinar os efeitos e implicações da adoção de uma abordagem interseccional para a análise nos e a partir dos feminismos latino-americanos e caribenhos, que se inserem no espaço de fronteira entre academia e ativismo político, com o propósito geral de re-politizar e re-complexificar a perspectiva interseccional. Para isso, em primeira instância, traçaremos genealogias políticas que nos permitam historicizar o conceito e ligar a interseccionalidade a suas lutas e demandas fundacionais, recuperando algumas experiências teórico-políticas como as de Lélia Gonzalez e Sueli Carneiro, intelectuais e ativistas afro-brasileiros. Em segundo lugar, propomos uma crítica política da neutralização e expansão acrítica da interseccionalidade, bem como os processos de injustiça epistêmica que tornam as idéias e teorias visíveis de forma assimétrica, de acordo com locais específicos.
