ERISMANN, Annelise. Requiem for a fordist feminism: A summary of latin american feminism and anti-imperialism. Debate fem. [online]. 2024, vol.68, pp.163-194.  Epub 13-Mayo-2025. ISSN 2594-066X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cieg.2594066xe.2024.68.2401.

This article uses the critical studies of science outlook to contribute to the discussions among Brazilian postcolonial feminists about the geopolitical ambiguity of Brazilian feminism, identified in its analysis of the stereotype of the “Ford Foundation Fellow.” Documenting instances of self-criticism about the dependence of Brazilian feminism on external financing in the autobiographical writings of its protagonists, it systematizes feminist subjectivities regarding their material achievements, highlighting the resistance to accusations of selling out Brazilian universities to foreign interests. I believe that the feminist practice of glossing over the stereotype-and the funding-of the Ford Foundation, justified in its historical context, cannot silence the critical voices within feminism itself, which is becoming increasingly democratic and plural. Depersonalizing the issue of foreign funding and repositioning it within the architecture of funding in Latin American social sciences could reveal the pioneering nature of Brazilian feminism and grant it greater autonomy.
