description This paper discusses how the construction of the feminist subject in Latin America opens up new theoretical approaches through which to analyze the experiences undergone by women under the dictatorships of the Southern Cone. If we can talk about gender violence in these dictatorships today it is because feminism has created a space where collective enunciation assumes the existence of a subject who is capable of politicizing her experience and thus of opening up a field of debate with other social actors about the meanings of these experiences. To develop this idea, I have constructed an argument centered on the three verbs used by the feminist movement in Latin America during the celebration of its thirtieth year: to untie, to unfold, and to re-entangle. My aim is to show that certain categories that are perceived as neutral by the hegemonic culture may not be when the social experience of women – read from a feminist perspective – enters the public debate. Thus, I hope to bring to the fore dissonant aspects and hidden meanings that have been concealed up until now.

El articulo analiza cómo la constitución del sujeto feminista en América Latina posibilita una lectura de la experiencia de las mujeres en las dictaduras del Cono Sur desde nuevas perspectivas teóricas. Si hoy podemos hablar de violencia de género en las dictaduras del Cono Sur es porque desde el feminismo se ha creado el espacio de enunciación colectivo que supone la existencia de un sujeto capaz de politizar su experiencia y abrir campos de disputa con otros actores acerca del sentido de esas experiencias. Para hacer ese recorrido se toman tres verbos que convocaron la conmemoración de los 30 años de feminismo en América Latina: desatar, desnudar y reanudar, con la intención de mostrar que cuando la experiencia social de las mujeres leída desde el feminismo, ingresa en el debate público, todas las categorías asumidas como neutras por la cultura hegemónica, son interpeladas, mostrando, entonces, espesores y disonancias, hasta entonces desconocidos.  2016-01-19 2022-03-18T18:33:28Z 2022-03-18T18:33:28Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7554 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63233 spa https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7554/5624 Copyright (c) 2016 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 20 n. 39 (2015): Dossiê: Ditaduras no Cone Sul, Memória, Gênero e Feminismo 1982-4718 1414-0144
