Abstract
MILLAN, Márgara. Intersectionality, Decolonization and Anti-systemic Trans-critique: The Political Subject of Feminisms and “the Women who Fight”. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2020, vol.65, n.240, pp.207-232. Epub Feb 28, 2021. ISSN 0185-1918. https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.240.76628.
This essay seeks to provide an account of the emergence of recent women’s movements, the centrality of “feminisms” brought forth by these movements and the communicating vessels and displacements that constitute what I call a theoretical-practical arc of feminist critical thought. In the first part, I describe the mark of women protesting worldwide as a moment that synthesizes various local processes into a characterization of the world we live in. The second part delves deeper into feminist critical thought based on the concept of “gender”. Lastly, back to the latest mobilizations of women and their written production and forms of communication, I outline the contents of a polymorphous and prolific political subject, whose enunciations display an intersectional and intersected praxis that at times achieves a common language and a singular political form developed from the experience, the pain, the empathy, the affection and the outrage within the current context of civilizational crisis.
Keywords : feminism; political subject; intersectionality; social transformation.
