| Sumario: | This article presents the main contributions of Francophone materialist feminism - Guillaumin, Wittig, Tabet and Mathieu - which profoundly transformed the notion of "work", by theorizing the appropriation of bodies as "labor-force machines". These analyzes showed the fact that sexuality could be analyzed as work and radically denaturalize motherhood. The ‘straight bind' concept is then proposed. Straight bind is a category that governs the marriage alliance and filiation and organizes the simultaneous and historical dynamics of the structural social relations of sex, race and class. It constitutes, at the same time, a new tool to analyze the social reproduction, the historical development of capitalism and the neoliberal state of affairs, in a perspective that converges with part of the decolonial feminism of Abya Yala. |
