Leitura crítica de um manifesto feminista populista

Abstract

In this article we propose a critical reading of Feminism for the 99% - a manifesto, which, taking the slogan of the Occupy movement up, calls for a global alliance between the various feminisms of the march 8 strikes and the marches against Trump in the United States. We are interested in discussing the ways that the authors of this text, Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser, propose to create a hegemonic bloc able to confront and transform the policies of neoliberal capitalism. At the same time, we aim to draw attention to the risks involved in a political proposal that articulates a populist feminism operating with abstract antagonisms, which reproduce historical forgetfulness and epistemic hierarchies between North and South and polarize current feminisms.
