ADRIAO, Karla Galvão  and  SILVEIRA, Paloma. Lenguage, power, gender and subjectivities in interface with feminist theories. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.54, pp. 363-377. ISSN 2175-1390.

This essay reflects on how the notions of language, power, gender and subjectivities dialogue with each other, taking as an epistemological basis for this debate the post-structural feminist theoretical perspective (Haraway, 1995; Scott, 2002), in its inflection with the black feminist (Gonzalés, 2018); and decolonial (Lugones, 2014; Rivera Cusicanchi, 2010) proposals. We will discuss from two scenes that act as "discursive events" (Beaugrande, 1997). The first deals with an evocation, in a meeting between one of the researchers and a child, about the sex/gender system and the discursive pitfalls that cross bodies and subjectivities. The second describes the encounter between two young white middle class women on issues of induced abortion, laying bare tensions between equality and difference and the field of reproductive rights. In both scenes, provocations are established, bringing the centrality of language and power in relation to issues of race, class and gender to the subjective constructions.

Keywords : Poststructural feminist theories; Language; Black feminism; Decolonialities; Subjectivities.
