SUMMARY:Talk: An Expansive Rebellion: Feminism and Social Revolt in Chile

Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent. \nFIRST TALK: An Expansive Rebellion: Feminism and Social Revolt in Chile \nIn October 2019\, Chile experienced its largest social revolt since the return to democracy in 1990. The mobilization\, which began as a spontaneous reaction to protest against a 0.30 USD rise in the Santiago transport fare\, soon after became a widespread outburst against the precarious and unjust conditions that affect the majority of the population after almost fifty years of life under a neoliberal regime. Throughout Chile\, high school and university students\, young precarious professionals\, residents of peripheral neighborhoods\, sectors of a fragile and unstable “middle class\,” soccer hooligans (a symbol of popular and stigmatized youth)\, qualified salaried workers and unqualified\, retirees and older adults\, office workers\, and app workers\, among others\, joined together in mass demonstrations. \nAs an immediate antecedent to this revolt in Chile\, there had been a recent emergence of a new wave of the feminist movement that has since caused a general awareness of sexist violence\, sexual abuse\, and the need for an abortion law\, issues that today occupy the center of social debate. One can see the underground work that Chilean feminism has carried out for many years and that has gained symbolic capital – this is key to understanding how it has moved from private malaise to collective revolt today. Feminism has acted in Chile as an expansive rebellion\, starting with women and sexual dissidents and has advanced towards the politicization of broad social sectors\, preparing the conditions for mass revolt. \nFerretti and Dragnic co-published the article “Revolt in Chile: Life Against Capital” in Viewpoint last February 2020. \nPierina Ferretti\, Sociologist and Doctoral Candidate in Latin American Studies at the University of Chile\, Researcher with Fundación Nodo XXI \nMia Dragnic García\, Sociologist and Doctoral Candidate in Latin American Studies at the University of Chile\, Professor at the Metropolitan University of Education Science \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSD Latin American Studies Program\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nZoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89256077958?pwd=Mlp2MWFNVENGRTNmZXFIb2k0WE5rZz09\nZoom Room Password: chile

SUMMARY:Talk: Gendered Violence and Financialization of Social Reproduction: A Feminist Perspective On Debt
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nFEMINISMS FROM BELOW\, AND TOWARDS THE SOUTH \nThis speaker series welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent. \nSECOND TALK: Gendered Violence and Financialization of Social Reproduction: A Feminist Perspective On Debt \nThe presentation will focus on the relationship and intersection between sexist violence and economic violence\, specifically the financialization of life and the increase in sexist violence. It will highlight the Latin American feminist movement’s struggles against debt as articulated in the tactic of the March 8 International Women’s Day Strike and in Argentina’s Ni Una Menos (Not One More) movement. \nSee Lucía’s articles “Debt and the Violence of Property” (Verso 2020) and “A feminist perspective on the battle over property” (Feminist Review 2020)\, both co-authored with Veronica Gago. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSB Latin American and Iberian Studies\, UCSD Latin American Studies Program\, UCSD Critical Gender Studies\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Talk: We Are Charrúa Women: From Negation to Re-Existence In Our Body-Territory
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nCharrúa women have gone through dispossession\, exclusion\, and negation that left marks on their collective memory and body-territory. This genocidal process did not end in 19th-century Uruguay\, but continues today and manifests itself every time that institutions or civil society denies their existence as an indigenous people. For fifteen years\, together with Charrúa sisters from Argentina\, Charrúa women from Uruguay have been working to demolish hegemonic narratives of the market and state. As subjects of legal right\, they are reconfiguring their existence and re-existence in their great ancestral-territory-body. This collective search has led Mónica Michelena to academic spaces. \nIn 2011\, Michelena began an investigation with rural Charrúa women in Uruguay’s interior to question the nation-state’s devices of invisibility and to expose counter-memories as part of an attempt to disarm the social and symbolic representation of their extinction. Through a methodological approach based on collaborative ethnography\, Michelena’s research aims to rearm the great quillapí of memory. The metaphor of quillapí – a leather cape made from patchwork – implies that each woman is the bearer of a small piece of memory and\, among all\, they are sewing together its scraps. Down this path\, Charrúa women began to slowly gain recognition from the Uruguayan feminist movement\, in a slow process of internal decolonization. \nMónica Michelena is Secretary of the Charrúa Nation Council and former Advisor on Indigenous Affairs for Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series and is cosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSB Latin American and Iberian Studies\, UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program\, UCSD Critical Gender Studies\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW
