Abstract
Incidiendo en la pérdida de las utopías revolucionarias modernas; en el motivo y
las consecuencias de la quiebra de las narrativas
culturales y políticas que organizaban nuestro
mundo y que ya no pueden mantener su carácter
legitimador, me propongo reflexionar sobre las
políticas feministas del cuerpo. Impulsadas por el
deseo postrevolucionario de transformación, trabajan Wendy Brown y Judith Butler afirmando el
carácter constitutivo de la vulnerabilidad y denunciando desde ahí las políticas que distribuyen la
vulnerabilidad diferencialmente, según criterios
de desigualdad y subordinación: definen la masculinidad por su invulnerabilidad y la feminidad
por una vulnerabilidad exacerbada. Estas dinámicas son resistidas, alteradas, dislocadas por los
cuerpos feministas en revolución.
Taking as its point of departure the demise of the modern revolutionary utopias, the causes and consequences of the breakdown of the cultural and political narratives that organized our world and that can no longer fulfill their legitimizing function, this article reflects on the role played by feminist bodily politics. Driven by the post-revolutionary desire of transformation, Wendy Brown and Judith Butler regard vulnerability as constitutive and denounce the politics of inequality and subordination that result in a differential distribution of that vulnerability: for instance, by characterizing masculinity as invulnerable and femininity as extreme vulnerability. These dynamics are opposed, altered, disrupted by the feminist bodies in revolt.
