Resumen
Descripción
La heterosexualidad es un estilo de vida que ha sido hegemónico
en los últimos 150 años, regido por la normatividad patriarcal que
orienta el deseo hacia la reproducción y organiza el sostenimiento de
la vida en términos complementarios (pero no recíprocos) entre los
géneros. A través de una norma constrictiva disfrazada de naturaleza,
los papeles sociales de la paternidad y la maternidad acaban siendo
“biologizados”, naturalizados y jerarquizados. La familia se constituye en
el espacio de reproducción de relaciones sociales desiguales poniendo
en tensión la noción de autonomía, en especial para las mujeres, a
pesar de su masiva incorporación a la vida pública. Indagaremos sobre
la noción de autonomía frente a las demandas de cuidado que nos son
impuestas por vivir en un mundo de seres que, por definición, somos
física y psíquicamente vulnerables y dependientes unos de otros, más
allá de los dictámenes de la división sexual del trabajo. Proponemos
así reconocer la precariedad humana como punto de partida para
una redefinición crítica de la noción de autonomía y como práctica de
resistencia política.
Heterosexuality has been the hegemonic lifestyle for the past 150 years. The patriarchal normativity channels the desire towards reproduction and organizes the sustainability of life in terms of complementarity (but not reciprocity) between genders. A constrictive normative appears as natural, and the roles of paternity and maternity end up appearing as if they were biologically defined, and forming a hierarchy. Family is the center of reproduction of uneven social relations. This places tension upon the concept of autonomy, especially for women, despite their massive incorporation to public life. In this paper we will examine the notion of autonomy in the context of the demands of care that are imposed to us due to the fact that human beings are physically and psychically vulnerable and mutually dependent, even beyond sexual division of labour. We propose to acknowledge human precariousness as a starting point towards a critical redefinition of the concept of autonomy, and as a practice of political resistance.
