As tendências da relação entre classe, raça e sexo no contexto de avanço do conservadorismo

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the complex social relations of sex, race and class that are manifested from the social, sexual and racial division of labor, structuring the capitalist, racist and hetero-patriarchal society in current. In the contemporary context of the structural crisis of capital, we will point out how the advancement of the far-right politics has impacted the lives of women, some more than others, and thus on the agenda of feminist resistance. In this direction, we will analyze the perspectives of intersectionality and consubstantiality, understanding these as the main analytical tendencies present in the theoretical debate and in the feminist political practice on the complex relations between class, sex and race. There are three guiding questions of the research, namely: (1) how does the absence of the centrality of the class perspective tend to make issues of oppression and exploitation invisible? (2) How has the absence and / or insufficiency of the insertion of the ethnic-racial issue harmed, and still harms, the unity of feminist movements? (3) What are the origins and main differences between intersectionality and consubstantiality? The research was developed in a perspective of totality, considering the method of historical materialism. For the production of data and information, bibliographical analysis of texts on consubstantiality and intersectionality prepared by the following authors were used as research strategies: Danielle Kergoat; Helena Hirata; Carla Akotirene; Saffioti, Patricia Collins and Angela Davis. The results allow us to affirm the indispensable central analysis of the social division of labor and its consubstantiated and coexisting relations between class, sex and race, so that the feminist movement is able to organize itself and overcome the condition of exploitation, oppression and domination of capitalist society. However, it is necessary to safeguard the historical and political importance of the perspective intersectional for the black women movement that considers, as a movement, the overlapping of the aforementioned relationships and, thus, fulfills the role of considering, from the analysis of a society of classes, issues of sex and race. More than a mere semantic dispute, the understanding of capitalist exploitation and of the fight against conservatism places, in the order of the day, the historical need to apprehend the overlapping relationships between class, race and sex.
