La globalización no es un fenómeno unívoco y desprovisto de contradicciones. Este libro lo analiza críticamente, aunque no rechaza otras lecturas más «optimistas». Simplemente, arranca desde una perspectiva que no es común adoptar o que no se toma realmente en serio: la de las mujeres, y más precisamente, la de las feministas latinoamericanas y caribeñas. Justamente esta visión es apasionante.

Dueña de una vasta producción filosófica y un implacable espíritu critico, que hace algunos años Alicia Puleo caracterizó de intempestivo, Amorós da nuevamente cuenta de la amplitud de sus intereses y de la riqueza de sus análisis críticos para abordar en esta obra los alcances y consecuencias que para las mujeres tiene el actual proceso de globalización. Desde su triple punto de partida recupera, primero, los conceptos de igualdad y de Universalidad con fuerte acento crítico feminista en el marco del paradigma informacionista.En segundo lugar, hace valer su consistente formación marxista, recuperando el pensamiento de Heidi Hartmann, con especial sensibilidad respecto del trabajo invisible de las mujeres, la feminización de la pobreza, y el fenómeno in crescendo de las maquilas, que considera su expresión simbólica más pregnante. Las conceptualizaciones de Donna Haraway y sus cyborgs la llevan a reconceptualizar los procesos globalizadores a partir del testigo modesto en clave feminista. Se centra así en la violencia contra las mujeres (que denomina violencia patriarcal) a raíz de los crímenes de Ciudad Juárez y en franco diálogo con otras feministas (Lamas, Lagarde, Segato) que también han examinado el tema. Fiel a sus deudas con el existencialismo, acepta para sus conceptualizaciones los desafíos que la praxis le presenta.HOMOSAPIENS EDICIONES - ARGENTINAEste libro contiene el desarrollo de los siguientes temas, entre otros: -Un mundo de ganadores y perdedores-La economía del trabajo doméstico fuera del hogar -Estados del Bienestar y salario familiar -Salario familiar y mujer doméstica -El capitalismo rifa, el patriarcado distribuye boletos -Un pacto patriarcal interclasista -Del salario familiar a las proveedoras frustradas -Del empresario calvinista a la cultura del hacker-Salario familiar y salario patriarcal -Del trabajo doméstico fuera del hogar al trabajo extradoméstico dentro el hogarCon este libro usted tendrá a su alcance reflexiones sobre el feminismo en un contexto actual.Descargue ya este libro y comience a aprender sobre esta importante temática.feminismoglobalización patriarcadodiferencia salarialviolencia domésticafemicidios misoginia

Why grassroots data activists in Latin America count feminicide—and how this vital social justice work challenges mainstream data science. What isn’t counted doesn’t count. And mainstream institutions systematically fail to account for feminicide, the gender-related killing of women and girls, including cisgender and transgender women. Against this failure, Counting Feminicide brings to the fore the work of data activists across the Americas who are documenting such murders—and challenging the reigning logic of data science by centering care, memory, and justice in their work. Drawing on Data Against Feminicide, a large-scale collaborative research project, Catherine D’Ignazio describes the creative, intellectual, and emotional labor of feminicide data activists who are at the forefront of a data ethics that rigorously and consistently takes power and people into account. Individuals, researchers, and journalists—these data activists scour news sources to assemble spreadsheets and databases of women killed by gender-related violence, then circulate those data in a variety of creative and political forms. Their work reveals the potential of restorative/transformative data science—the use of systematic information to, first, heal communities from the violence and trauma produced by structural inequality and, second, envision and work toward the world in which such violence has been eliminated. Specifically, D’Ignazio explores the possibilities and limitations of counting and quantification—reducing complex social phenomena to convenient, sortable, aggregable forms—when the goal is nothing short of the elimination of gender-related violence. Counting Feminicide showcases the incredible power of data feminism in practice, in which each murdered woman or girl counts, and, in being counted, joins a collective demand for the restoration of rights and a transformation of the gendered order of the world.

This book aims to reconstruct the role played by left movements and organizations in Brazil from their process of renewal in the 1980s as they fought against the civil-military dictatorship, going through the Workers' Party's governments in the 2000s, until the Party’s dramatic defeat with a parliamentary coup in 2016. Henceforth, there have been attacks on social and political rights that severely affect the lower classes and reverted progressive policies on various issues. Through a historical reconstruction, this book analyzes how different left movements and organizations contributed to the democratization of Brazilian society, and how their contradictions contributed to the actual conservative turn. The essays also focus the development of Brazilian Left in the light of socialist politics and especially Marxism, both in terms of political organizations and theory. In this sense, the essays in this collection represent an effort to rethink some aspects of the history of the Brazilian left and how it can reorganize itself after the conservative turn.
