Os estudos culturais na encruzilhada dos feminismos materiais e descoloniais

Cultural studies at the crossroads between material and decolonial feminisms

Resumos

Neste artigo, refaço a trajetória dos debates nos estudos culturais feministas, principalmente nos Estados Unidos, tendo como foco três tipos de abordagem em relação às dicotomias realidade/representação e texto/contexto. Como apreender a materialidade do mundo sem abrir mão do fato de que nossas narrativas/representações são sempre constitutivas desse mundo? Argumento que vejo ecos do que as feministas materiais defendem nas propostas cosmopolíticas latino-americanas para um feminismo descolonial. Alego que a articulação desses dois projetos (um advindo dos debates no Norte e o outro do Sul) pode servir de inspiração para repensarmos - e descolonizarmos - as práticas dos estudos culturais na América Latina.

In this article, I retrace the trajectory of the debates in feminist cultural studies, particularly in the United States, focusing on three types of approaches to the dichotomies reality/representation and text/context. How to grasp the materiality of the world without giving up the fact that our narratives/representations are always already constitutive of that world? I see echoes of what material feminists advocate vis-à-vis the thorny issue of the materiality of the world in the cosmopolitical proposals advanced by Latin American decolonial feminisms. I claim that the articulation of these two projects (one derived from debates in the North and the other from the South) can serve as an inspiration to rethink - and decolonize - the practices of cultural studies in Latin America.
