Movimento e teoria feminista: É Possível reconstruir a teoria feminista a partir do Sul Global

Abstract

Taking Nancy Fraser's theoretical trajectory as my point of departure, this text takes recent paths in feminist theory as emblematic in the elaboration of a vigorous theoretical and analytical framework for the development of contemporary feminist theories and theories of justice. Yet the latter have been anchored in the hegemonic considerations of the global North. In this regard, Fraser, as a theoretician from the United States, has developed her thought at a certain distance from the most recent agendas of global feminism (and in particular, from the feminisms of the South) and thus, her reflections show an excessive bias "from a Western perspective". This perception leads me back to the critique of studies done in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, particularly through C. T. Mohanty's contributions in this vein. Lastly, I propose the experience of a "fourth wave" in feminist movements and studies in Brazil and Latin America, through feminist circuits of dissemination that operate via horizontal feminist currents - Black, academic, lesbian, male, etc.
