Abstract
Este ensayo tiene como objetivo pensar la relación entre feminismo e
infrapolítica situándola en la interrogación, desde escalas
impensadas, de variantes
específicas del feminismo contemporáneo en Latinoamérica. Para tal fin, se ponen en
perspectiva histórico
-
filosófica algunas de las premisas e implicaciones de la
“descolonización” feminista y se comparan con los planteamientos de
la “extinción
feminista” elaborados por la filósofa australiana Claire Colebrook. ¿Puede ser la ética
feminista de la extinción, en su nota disonante respecto a la generalizada identificación de
lo femenino con el mundo de la vida, sugerir preguntas y cam
inos para una práctica
infrafeminista en Latinoamérica? La propuesta de este breve ensayo es que, en efecto, las
meditaciones de Colebrook sugieren que no habrá una verdadera “descolonización” del
feminismo sin una afirmación “infrafeminista” de la extinci
ón de la vida tal y como se ha
imaginado en la historia de la metafísica a través de la simbolización de la diferencia
sexua
The objective of this essay is to reflect upon the relation between feminism and infrapolitics, situating it in the question, from a perspective not yet considered, of specific variants of contemporary feminism in Latin America. To this end, the essay put s some of the premises and implications of feminist “decolonisation” into historico - philosophical perspective in dialogue with the proposals of “feminist extinction” elaborated by the Australian philosopher Claire Colebrook. Can a feminist ethics of extinc tion, in its dissonant tone with respect to the generalized identification of the feminine with the world of life, produce questions and pathways for an infra - feminist practice in Latin America? This brief essay proposes that Colebrook’s reflections sugges t that there is no true “descolonisation” of feminism without an infra - feminist affirmation of the extinction of life such as it has been imagined in the history of metaphysics through the symbolization of sexual difference.
