Ecofeminism: horizons of radicality in the "in-between" feminist and anti-extractivist struggles from the global south

Abstract

This article analyzes four encounters of political meanings and horizons of radicality between feminist struggles and movements and the struggles for the defense of territories and common goods, which are part of the socio-environmental movement or political ecology in Latin America. To this end, the text proposes to analyze the dialectical relationship between social praxis and critical theories in four historical periods ranging from the 1960s to the present, where these struggles -situated in specific historical contexts-, interweave narratives and horizons of political radicality. The hypothesis supported in the text states that the struggles, meanings and narratives of these movements are interwoven in the questioning of the central core of the neoliberal configuration and its regimes of oppression and domination, by proposing an ethics of care, making visible the places of the true production of value - whether in the home, in the community - in a broad sense - or in nature, that is, in the bodies-territories, where the violence of dispossession and appropriation is exercised as the most historical violence.
