Killjoys from Buenos Aires. Sex and Money in The Abolitionist Emotional Micropolitics

Abstract

This paper focus on the ways in which money, sex and emotions take part in the constitution of a certain abolitionist and feminist political practice. This practice intends both to combat trafficking and prostitution and to discredit sex workers organizations. Thus, I am interested in the ways in which the very presence of sex workers in the public arena, as a movement that claims for labor rights, has become, for a sector of the argentinian abolitionist movement, in an obstacle to its promise of happiness.
