Sumario:The aim of this article is to revisit Christine Delphy's theory from a situated and current perspective. First, we analyze her patriarchal system conception in terms of the domestic mode of production, placing it in the context of the debates between unitary theories and dual systems, which have been the object of renewed interest in recent times. Our aim is to evaluate the contributions of the Delphian approach and clarify its specificity in relation to Marxist feminist theories that currently have greater diffusion in our environment. Furthermore, we show that the idea of ​​a "main enemy" becomes more complex when considering the existence of other structural social relations, according to the formulation of Danièle Kergoat and Delphy’s most recent production. These developments allow an approximation between the French materialist perspectives and some contemporary Latin American theories.
