Subalternidad y prácticas feministas en América Latina: 47ª Sesión de la Comisión sobre Población y Desarrollo

Abstract

In this research, the use of concepts and reflections derived from subaltern and postcolonial studies are applied to the current Latin American feminism with the objective of studying the intrinsic relations which exist among class, gender and ethnicity. This article claims to reflect through the genealogy of the concept of subordination proposed by Antonio Gramsci and worked later by Gayatri Spivak from a postcolonial and feminist perspective. In the way, a study about the role of women in the theorizing about popular culture groups is carried out, followed by the Latin American subaltern studies and Mary Nash’s contributions. In the case selection has been chosen the 47th Session of the Commission on Population and Development of United Nations celebrated in April 2014 in New York, where representatives of Feminist Organizations of Latin America and the Caribbean addressed to the delegations of the member states in order to evaluate the implementation of the Program action of the International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994), twenty years later.
