38. Anarchafeminisme: boekbespreking van Chiara Bottici

Bloed aan de Muur

Waarin verschilt anarchafeminisme van intersectioneel feminisme? Wie was Julia Pastrana? Wat is het slakkenhuis van wit feminisme? Wat in godsnaam is 'trans-individualisme'? En wat is somatisch communisme? In deze aflevering bespreken we 'Anarchafeminism' van de filosofe Chiara Bottici. We focussen ons vooral op het laatste deel. We zijn direct na het lezen de studio ingedoken, dus de aflevering is zoekend en meanderend, en ook maar een poging academische filosofie samen beter te begrijpen. Hopelijk ben je na afloop ook enthousiast over het boek.. Bij het Fort van Sjakoo is het te koop! >> "How can we be sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their turn? How can we create a feminism that doesn't turn into yet another tool for oppression? It has become commonplace to argue that, in order to fight the subjugation of women, we have to unpack the ways different forms of oppression intersect with one another: class, race, gender, sexuality, disability, and ecology, to name only a few. By arguing that there is no single factor, or arche, explaining the oppression of women, Chiara Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist philosophy inspired by two major claims: that there is something specific to the oppression of women, and that, in order to fight that, we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the anthropocentrism they inhabit. Anarchism needs feminism to address the continued subordination of all femina, but feminism needs anarchism if it does not want to become the privilege of a few. Anarchafeminism calls for a decolonial and deimperial position and for a renewed awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different life forms on the planet. In this new revolutionary vision, feminism does not mean the liberation of the lucky few, but liberation for all living creatures from both capitalist exploitation and an androcentric politics of domination. Either all or none of us will be free."
