Women’s Writings, Traces of Feminism in Journals of the Independent Academic Centers, Chile 1980-1990

Abstract

This article reviews the textual network that constituted the publications “Proposiciones”, “Apuntes para el trabajo social” and the area of “documentos de trabajo” of Flacso. This group was part of the spaces where the intellectual women of the social sciences, who carried out action research, used as a means to disseminate the debates regarding the living conditions of the popular women, dialoguing with feminism and with the left in process of renewal. The central objective corresponds to the identification of the corpus of debates in the participation of the socialist intellectual women, together with highlighting the effort to generate an intersection between gender and class. From 1980 to 1990, the reviews had women as a central actor, although they disputed those spaces with other intellectuals of the time. Thus the most valuable of these writings is its openness to debate in the social sciences, where the brands of a feminism that aspired to give meaning to the popular are installed.
