Strange alterities: contradictions and potentialities of the being-other-woman form in current capitalism

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal is to launch a decolonial feminist perspective on capital accumulation, shifting the emphasis on the capital / labor (wage earner) relationship to the forms of non-wage labor exploitation and oppression; namely those that developed inherent to racist patriarchy through the overlap between colonialism, patriarchy and slavery. To this end, the article will cover different ways of being-other-woman, a category that I have been articulating and which I present here an outline. The aim is to launch a feminist perspective, starting from listening to peripheral and feminist voices, to continue radicalizing the question that, even marginal, was not absent from the concerns of Marxism in its diversity: about how the various unpaid forms of work are fundamental to the radical chains of capitalism.

Keywords:
Being-other-woman; Capitalism; Patriarchy; Slavery; Unpaid work
