Inescapable contradictions. With regard to the radical status of 'colonised females' ; Contradicciones ineludibles. A propósito del estatuto de alteridad radical de las "hembras colonizadas"
In the course of her work — particularly in view of contradictions, complexity and coalitions — Maria Lugones leaves us as a legacy the theoretical political project to bring anti-racist struggle to the centre of feminist struggle; based on logical analysis, feminism that is not anti-racist is racist. The thinker Decolonial characterises the modern colonial and capitalist gender system as excluding the non-adversarial principle, being based on hierarchical dichotomies. In this context of analysis, the status of colonised females is radical. On the basis of this view, Lugones examines the decolonial contributions to building a political theory of Latin American feminisms. In this sense, it appears as an approach to the problem: does maintaining the Decolonial thesis mean bringing anti-racism policy to the heart of feminist politics? By way of hypothesis, 'taking Lugones seriously' means radicalising criticism of Western hegemonic feminism in its complicity with global racism. FIL: Parra, Fabiana.

La pensadora decolonial caracteriza el sistema de género colonial moderno y capitalista como excluyente del principio de no contradicción, al estar basado en dicotomías jerárquicas. En este marco de análisis, el estatuto de las hembras colonizadas es el de alteridad radical. A partir de esta tesis, Lugones examina los aportes decoloniales para la construcción de una teoría política de los feminismos ...
