Feminist Critique and Sexual Dimensions of Power: Women, Citizenship, and the State

In this article we reflect upon the works of Carole Pateman, specifically The Sexual Contract (2019) and The Disorder of Women (2018) since we consider it is key in order to discuss what are the basic principles on which political theory stands: the patriarchal, heteronormative, binary, racial, clas...

We recover her insights on the specificities of women's political situation in contemporary democracies, starting from the most specific to the more general aspects. We particularly look at the differences between patriarchal and conjugal power, the distinction between the public and private spheres, the debate between Pateman and the contractualists and paternalist authors, and the arguments referring to the link between Welfare State, women and citizenship. We also include our own perspectives in the conclusions, aiming at a critical re-reading of the texts. The article is sustained in a conceptual tracing strategy, as well as a cross reading one and an incorporation of contemporary readers of Pateman´s work. El presente trabajo reflexiona en torno a la obra de Carole Pateman, particularmente a partir de El Contrato Sexual ([1988] 2019) y El desorden de las mujeres ([1989] 2018). Sostenemos que el trabajo de Pateman es esencial para discutir los principios básicos sobre los cuales se asienta la teoría política, cuyo sesgo patriarcal, heteronormado, binario, de clase, racista, colonial, pasó mayormente inadvertido durante mucho tiempo. Este trabajo reconstruye, de lo más específico a lo más general, los aportes de Pateman para pensar la especificidad de la situación política de las mujeres en las democracias contemporáneas. Nos ocupamos, puntualmente, de las diferencias entre poder paternal y poder conyugal, de la distinción entre lo público y lo privado a la luz del lema lo personal es político, de la discusión con los patriarcalistas y los contractualistas y de los argumentos de la autora en torno al vínculo entre mujeres, Estado de bienestar, democracia y ciudadanía. Finalmente, incorporamos nuestras perspectivas que apuntan a una relectura crítica de los textos. El trabajo se vale de estrategias metodológicas ligadas al rastreo conceptual y al uso de la lectura cruzada en ambas obras, incorporando también a lectoras contemporáneas de estos textos.
