Feminisms and feminist studies: sex workers in the line of fire* * Translated by Julia Sauma.

Abstract

I propose here to use the idea of the long duration of a movement – feminism and feminist studies – to reflect on a particular style of engagement found at the Nucleus for Gender Studies – Pagu. By reconstructing a certain history in time, I emphasize what I consider to be one of the great lessons of the feminist field of reflection: the ability for self-reflection that provokes constant repositionings in relation to the ever-changing, complex contexts in which we live.

Feminist studies; engagement; sexual work
