This article starts from the analytical disconnection between feminisms and republicanism and investigates the potential of an academic and political conversation between them. The text takes up some of the intersections between feminism and republicanism over the past few decades and draws attention to the greater interest that has been verified recently. Furthermore, the article proposes spaces where potential conversation between feminism and republicanism can take place: examining the relationship between material dispossession, dependence, and freedom; across the public, private, and domestic spheres; and the implications of extending autonomy to consider bodily autonomy. It ends with a brief reference to political participation as a feminist and republican virtue. Finally, the article stresses the need to produce a republican feminist revival.

El artículo revisa debates en torno a la renta básica universal (RBU) y a la renta de cuidados (RC) y, con base en ello, presenta discusiones críticas feministas sobre la RBU. Analiza el marco, también feminista, que defiende la necesidad de reapropiación de la renta, y lo desarrolla en relación a la reciente propuesta de una RC. Por último, el texto deja planteadas preguntas sobre cómo articular las claves de discusión y politización de las propuestas de RBU y RC, considerando la persistente división sexual y racial del trabajo, las dinámicas de mercantilización y las demandas de reapropiación de la riqueza social. Para esos análisis se parte principal aunque no exclusivamente de referencias sobre y desde América Latina.

Klappentext: We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary nationalist, religious, racist, and antifeminist ideologies and movements, as well as a rapid process of global de-democratization. Nevertheless, most studies remain tied to a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost exclusively limited to European countries and the USA. But authoritarian transformations in the Global South and the struggles against them have not only been at least as dramatic as in the North, they also often date back longer - and have been studied and theorized by Southern scholars for many years. Twenty scholar-activists from the Global South show in their in-depth studies how national processes of authoritarian capitalism have undermined political systems on a global scale.
