The emphasis has been on her contribution’s explanations concerning women’s inability to emerge under their own terms, and only in the shackles of representational mediation that traps them as a degraded otherness of the Same. Far less attention has been granted to her ontological reflections that postulate the dangerousness of the gestational and generative potential of matter regarding an order that abstracts the origin and sustains the disembodied pretense of the Logos. Under the prism of North American feminist post-structuralism —from the last decades of the 20th century— the continuity between femininity and matter has been poorly interpreted and, consequently, her proposal on the subject of difference was reviled under the notion of essentialism. The current contribution intends to put in action Astrida Neimanis’ new feminist materialism. Her ontologic concern about Water’s materiality provides us with tools that allow, on the one hand, to bring justice to the complexity of Irigaray’s liquid and aqueous proposal and, on the other hand, to consolidate a post-human and transcorporeal look for a hydrofeminism that cultivates a resposability towards the world and acknowledges our debt and material continuity with it. Las ideas feministas de Luce Irigaray señalan críticamente la existencia de un orden simbólico falogocéntrico. Se ha enfatizado que sus aportes explican cómo las mujeres no logran emerger bajo sus propios términos, sino a condición de los grilletes de una mediación representacional que las entrampa como otredad degradada respecto de lo Mismo. Mucho menos se han señalado sus reflexiones ontológicas que postulan la peligrosidad de la potencia gestacional y generativa de la materia respecto de un orden que abstrae el origen y sostiene la pretensión desencarnada del Logos. Ante el prisma del postestructuralismo feminista norteamericano —desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX—, la continuidad entre feminidad y materia fue pobremente interpretada y, consecuentemente, su propuesta en torno a la diferencia fue denostada bajo la noción de esencialismo. El presente aporte pretende poner en acción el nuevo materialismo feminista de Astrida Neimanis. Su preocupación ontológica por la materialidad del Agua nos provee de herramientas que permiten, por un lado, hacer justicia a la complejidad de la propuesta líquida y acuosa irigariana y, por otro lado, consolidar una mirada posthumana y transcorporea para un hidrofeminismo que cultive una responsabilidad con el mundo y reconozca nuestra deuda y continuidad material con él.
