GENDER, FEMINIST ACTIVISM AND CONSERVATISM IN LATIN AMERICA: AN INTERVIEW WITH FLÁVIA BIROLI, FLAVIA FREIDENBERG AND VERÓNICA GAGO
Resumo
This interview discusses the challenges to gender studies and feminist movements facing the radicalization of the right-wing in Latin America. To this purpose, it selects three interlocutors of academic legitimacy in the region: Flávia Biroli, Flávia Freidenberg e Verónica Gago. The conversation is structured around two central points: on the one hand, it debates the recent conservative reactions and public spaces changes resulting from women’s mobilization for rights and in defense of democracy; on the other hand, it confronts the definition that “gender studies” constitute a specific theme of Social Sciences, describing feminist perspectives as transformative biases that are essential to a broad understanding of political and social phenomena.
