UM RELATO HISTÓRICO DA AUSTERIDADE NO REINO UNIDO: RASTREANDO AS ORIGENS, AS MODALIDADES E OS DIFERENTES EFEITOS DA AUSTERIDADE NA VIDA DAS MULHERES
Resumo
Este artigo tem como foco o quadro da política de austeridade do Reino Unido, questionando e traçando suas origens, modalidades e efeitos globais no contexto do Reino Unido. Fazemos isso desvelando as várias formas pelas quais o estado, em diferentes momentos e em diferentes formações estatais, implementou formas específicas de austeridade. Através desta análise, este artigo chama a atenção para as características morais, políticas e econômicas da austeridade nessas formas particulares. Com um foco particular sobre a gênese da austeridade em diferentes momentos de crise, este artigo destaca o papeldas mulheres nesses períodos e explora as várias maneiras pelas quais elas têm suportado o peso do projeto de austeridade. É através desta análise que este artigo demonstra a importância de conectar a austeridade contemporânea com seus legados históricos. Meu argumento é que isso permite uma compreensão mais rica da austeridade como um projeto econômico-político-moral, e maisespecificamente, desvela as reivindicações de gênero, seus processos e efeitos nesses diferentes períodos e formações estatais.Referências
