SUMMARY:Talk: Women in Cooperative Agricultural Production and Consumption: The Case of Rio de Janeiro’s Rede Ecológica
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThe presentation will illuminate the multiple roles played by women within the infrastructure of the Rede Ecologica (Ecological Consumers’ Network) in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. These include: relations established with the agroecological producers; campaigns and other educational activities focused on the theme of food\, nutritional security\, and family-based agricultural practices; communication and networking with other social movements\, among others. Through an intersectional feminist approach\, we will analyze concrete experiences within territories in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro\, such as the Serra da Misericórdia\, which highlight the ways in which women with different racial\, ethnic\, and class backgrounds\, lead collective efforts to combat the high level of hunger and food insecurity by reinforcing agroecological practices in different public areas and inventing new strategies for distributing products via direct links with consumers who enjoy the benefits of healthy\, organically grown food. Such processes reinforce the links between producers and consumers\, as well as bridging the division between rural and urban areas. They also reveal the ways in which a new logic for economic and social relations is being constructed\, including a new approach to those “care-taking” tasks historically undertaken by rural and urban women that are vital for social reproduction and for fulfilling basic human needs within the capitalist system. \nANA PAULA Da CRUZ SANTOS is an urban farmer and co-founder of the community-based organization Center for Integration “Serra da Misericórdia” (CEM) in Rio’s Penha neighborhood. She belongs to the Ecological Network and is a member of the Food Security Council (RJ). She also participates in the women’s working group of the Agroecology Network of the Metropolitan area of RJ. \nRODICA WEITZMAN holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IPPUR/ UFRJ) and carried out her post-doctorate research in the field of Social and Environmental Conflict at the Institute in Urban and Regional Planning and Research (IPPUR/ UFRJ). She belongs to the women’s working group in the National Agroecology Network\, the research group Gender and Ruralities (CPDA/UFRRJ)\, the Ecological Network (RJ)\, and the Food Security Council (RJ). Since 1996\, she has worked with diverse social organizations in Brazil and on the international level in the construction\, evaluation\, and monitoring of social projects and public policies\, with a strong focus on gender issues and its intersections with family–based sustainable agriculture\, food security\, social and environmental conflicts\, and climate change. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which 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. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSB Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, UCSB Global Studies Department\, UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Talk: Popular Feminist Communication: Tools for Organization in Times of Destruction
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nRevista Amazonas (Amazonas Magazine) is a collective made up of women from Colombia\, Brazil\, Nicaragua\, Ecuador\, Argentina\, Mexico and Spain. It was born out of a commitment to publishing texts and images made by women from anywhere in the world\, covering all literary themes and genres\, but always from a perspective that is trans-feminist\, anti-capitalist\, anti-racist\, anti-colonial and in defense of all forms of life. The magazine emphasizes that focusing on what women have to say – those who live and work on the margins\, those who defend their territories – is not only a matter of justice\, but also the only way to understand how a global system functions\, and how to use that knowledge to think together strategies for emancipation. \nAny woman can submit text\, illustration or photographs to info@revistaamazonas.com for publication in www.revistaamazonas.com \nParticipating Speakers: \nHelena Silvestre (Brazil)\, writer\, Afro-indigenous activist in housing movements (Luta Popular)\, popular educator (Escola Feminista Abya Yala)\, and co-editor of Revista Amazonas. \nAmanda Martínez (Nicaragua/Brazil)\, Nicaraguan woman\, Central American migrant in South America\, feminist\, artivist and researcher who supports anti-racist\, anti-patriarchal and anti-colonial struggles in the Central American isthmus and the rest of the region. Interested in the exchange of knowledge and dissemination of the other histories of America that lie in the oral tradition\, in feelings\, art and everyday life of communities. \nAna María Morales Troya (Ecuador)\, co-editor of Revista Amazonas\, Ecuadorian feminist and anthropologist. She is a researcher and member of CLACSO’s WGs on popular economies and emancipatory feminist economics. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which 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.

SUMMARY:Talk: A Wave of Difference: Language Expression in the Argentine Feminist Imaginary
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nIn the context of a disproportionate increase in sexual violence against cis\, trans\, and transvestite women since 2015\, Argentine feminisms have prefigured the untimely irruption of public space in both process and form. The movements’ interventions not only impact the social conditions and the epistemic tools for popular intelligibility of language expression ​​of gender violence\, through an innovative use of communication technologies and social networks\, but also articulate\, from the multidimensionality in which inequality operates by gender and more broadly\, a transversal resistance to the oppressive characteristics that would accompany the neoliberal turn produced by public policy under President Mauricio Macri’s corporate governance mandate (2015-2019). This new state of public attention and mass representation allowed a reorganization of desires to spread and multiply across territories\, professional careers\, bodies\, and communities throughout the country\, which would forever transform the contours of a traditionally instituted political subject\, expanding its affective capacity to rework new forms of connection between the personal and the political\, extending the singular opportunity of its criticism to all spheres of social organization. In this way\, local feminisms constructed networks of theoretical exchange and practical solidarity between cis and trans women\, which to this day connect\, in a complex way and not without tension\, a concert of experiences that link and incorporate radical differences and specific demands of the sectors of working women\, ecologists\, diverse functional\, queer\, unionists\, anti-racists\, piqueteras\, educators\, prostitutes and racialized\, among many others\, in a structural critique of the functioning capitalist economic order. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which 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. \nCosponsored 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

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

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
