Corpos feminizados objetificados: patriarcalismo, capitalismo e racismo

Abstract

Being a woman in a globalized world, where ideas, precepts and prejudices are standardized by an imperialist policy of control, puts us in a constant defensive position. Women are not subjects of law in themselves. With this understanding of the situation of women, we began the research work for this dissertation. Based on an investigative analysis of the origins of the oppressions that objectify women, we identified the vectors of gender, race and class, represented by patriarchy, capitalism and racism/colonialism as the mechanisms of oppression of feminized bodies. To this end, we will open this research with a historical-philosophical analysis of the construction of patriarchy as a dominant social system, seeking to understand how this initial appropriation of feminized bodies took place, leaving women outside the spheres of power. Going through the witch hunt as a mechanism of oppression and appropriation, we will analyze the emergence of capitalism and the takeover of birth control and the appropriation of the uterus as a mechanism for producing labor, removing the last barrier that prevented the total objectification of feminized bodies. We will also look at the myths that oppress feminized bodies based on these precepts of gender and class, to finally delve into racial aspects, combining the triple oppression imposed on women. Based on an understanding of these oppressions, taking an epistemological approach to the development of the feminist waves and the key movements of these periods, we seek an intersectional presentation of the forms of oppression and, based on this conjectured observation, seek alternatives that make feminisms inclusive for all, guaranteeing rights that benefit the large group of women and not just those protected by a Euro-Americanized white acculturation and, finally, solutions that make it possible to de-objectify feminized bodies.
