DIAZ, Martín E.  and  ALVARO, María Belén. BODIES, TERRITORIES AND NEOLIBERAL GOVERNMENTALITY. VIEWS ON THE EXTRACTIVIST REGIMES FROM THE FEMINIST EPISTEMOLOGY. Astrolabio [online]. 2020, n.25, pp.249-273. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n25.23417.

In this paper we analyze the effects of extractive regimes in the territories and bodies from the place of women. We focus the analysis on the city of Allen (Río Negro) from the conversion of a fruit-growing region into an unconventional hydrocarbon extraction area. We hypothesize that the neoliberal governmentality that is imposed in these devastated territories generates a crisis of social reproduction that impacts living work useful for the production and reproduction of human life; and that it is women, as historically subalternized and relegated subjectivities to the reproductive sphere, who can account for the remains of extractivism from views that transcend the dichotomies of modernity: public / private, State / market, productive / reproductive. We place ourselves in feminist epistemology to analyze the narratives of women who inhabit territories of dispossession from which women make life possible.

We are interested in contributing to the knowledge of the effects of extractive regimes from the production and circulation of “other” meanings about their impacts built at the intersections of gender, class and territory.

Keywords : Governmentality; Bodies; Territories; Extractive Regimes; Life Reproduction.
