Feminismo interseccional en Argentina: Pluriculturalidad y derechos humanos de las mujeres indígenas

Este trabajo se origina en un interrogante que forma parte del debate académico en Latinoamérica en torno a la vinculación entre feminismos jurídicos y pluriculturalidad. ¿Es el reconocimiento de los derechos culturales de una comunidad un atraso al reconocimiento de los derechos de las mujeres y otras identidades no hegemónicas? La pregunta retoma como disparador el interrogante que se planteara la politóloga Susan Moller Okin respecto a “¿Es el multiculturalismo malo para las mujeres?”. Para ello, me propongo contextualizar y analizar los textos que se posicionaron de un lado y del otro en un caso real sucedido en la República Argentina (“Ruiz”, conocido en la comunidad wichí de Lapacho Mocho como Qa’tu), y que dio lugar a múltiples tensiones y posiciones encontradas en el ámbito jurídico, antropológico y filosófico.

Susan Moller Okin, Justice, Gender, and the Family

Susan Okin’s radical thesis in Justice, Gender, and the Family is that the ideal of the gender-structured family is source of persistent gender inequality in politics, the workplace, and actual families. However, the book has widely been taken to be making a much narrower claim: that theorists of justice should extend their analysis to the family, ensuring that the division of labor in the family is just. As a result of this misreading, feminist theorists dismissed the book as conventional when it was published, whereas political theorists largely viewed it as innovative. This chapter recenters the radical thesis of the book, shows how Okin’s most important critics have misunderstood it, and discusses why now perhaps more than even in 1989, we should revisit this book.

Okin, Susan Moller (1946–2004)

Susan Moller Okin was a liberal theorist whose feminist perspective challenged contemporary liberal theory’s complacency about gender and the family. She insisted that liberalism, properly understood as a theory opposed to social hierarchies and supportive of individual freedom and equality, must provide the tools for criticizing the substantial inequalities between men and women in contemporary societies.

Dignidad de la mujer y multiculturalismo = Dignitiy of women and multiculturalism

Resumen. Este trabajo se centra en la discusión entre multiculturalismo y feminismo, orientando la atención a las sociedades multiculturales que están llenas de prácticas y tradiciones basadas en las ideologías de género, hecho claramente destacado por investigadores sociales como María Dolors Molas Font y Susan Moller Okin, entre otros. En culturas patriarcales como la nuestra es común permitir e incluso facilitar que los hombres controlen a las mujeres, anulando así su reconocimiento de la dignidad. Según la perspectiva hegeliana del reconocimiento y entendiendo la dignidad con un matiz kantiano, se propone resolver la antinomia entre el multiculturalismo y el feminismo desde un plano educativo. Para ello, la experiencia de la maestra y etnoeducadora Laura Montoya se expone groso modo en la última parte de este trabajo.Palabras clave: multiculturalismo, dignidad de la mujer, reconocimiento, educación, Laura Montoya.Abstract.

For it, the experience of the teacher and etnia educator Laura Montoya is exposed in the last part of this work.Keywords: multiculturalism, dignity of women, recognition, education, Laura Montoya

A EXPERIÊNCIA DA ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS MULHERES INDÍGENAS DE RORAIMA: UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE MULTICULTURALISMO A PARTIR DAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE SUSAN OKIN

O presente artigo tem como objetivo, a partir dos conceitos de gênero, público e privado e multiculturalismo, compreender a proposta de Susan Moller Okin sobre a incompatibilidade entre feminismo e multiculturalismo, considerando-se a experiência da organização das mulheres indígenas de Roraima. Partiu-se da construção social do gênero e suas implicações na divisão desigual do trabalho, para entender como isso contribuiu para a divisão das esferas público e privado, e manutenção da sociedade patriarcal. Buscou-se compreender como essa divisão afeta o direito das mulheres em grupos minoritários, por meio de uma análise sobre o movimento das mulheres indígenas no Estado de Roraima, no norte do Brasil, bem como apontar uma alternativa para o problema apresentado por Okin. Por fim, entende-se ser igualmente necessárias a proteção da identidade dos grupos minoritários e a garantia de espaços igualitários nos grupos minoritários étnicos. Desta forma, a inclusão das mulheres nos espaços de poder e tomada de decisão nestes grupos deve ser compatibilizada com o respeito à relevância que essa mulher confere ao seu pertencimento ao grupo.
