Women's Right to the City
Der Autor analysiert, wie Frauen ihre politischen Ansprüche auf "Wohnen mit der Familie" als politischer Kategorie in der Gestaltung von Stadträumen in Sinaloa (Mexiko) Mitte der 70er und 80er Jahre gestalteten. Frauen forderten und verstärkten die kulturelle und politische Bedeutung der Selbstverwaltung der Frauen, während sie versuchten, ihre dringenden Wohnbedürfnisse zu erfüllen: ein Stück Land für ihre Kinder zu erwerben und diesen zu legalisieren. Diese intergenerationelle Beziehung zwischen der politischen Partizipation von Frauen und der Familie als politischer Kategorie zeigt, dass die Familie ein entscheidender Faktor bei der Entwicklung von Siedlungen unterschiedlicher Intensität und Bedeutung war. Das politische Engagement der Frauen fand während ihres gesamten Kampfes um den Zugang zu Wohnraum statt: Landnahme, Organisation neuer Siedlungen und Erlangung des rechtlichen Eigentums an ihren Grundstücken. Die individuellen und kollektiven Erfahrungen der Frauen zeigen daher einen dynamischen Prozess der politischen Subjektwerdung, der auf dem Anspruch "ein Stück Land für die Familie" basiert.
La organización social del cuidado de niños niñas y adolescentes en colombia
No somos nada sin el otro/a. Esta es la mejor expresión del valor fundamental del cuidado. El cuidado que sostiene la vida. El cuidado que durante esta dolorosa pandemia ha sido la base fundamental para proteger la vida en todas sus expresiones. El cuidado que por siglos ha sido invisibilizado y desplegado especialmente por millones de mujeres en el mundo. Quien cuida y a quienes se cuida ha puesto en evidencia la división tajante sobre los cuidados. Como lo señala Judith Butler, todas y todos nacemos dependientes. En eso estamos en condición de igualdad. Pero es en la división sexual del trabajo y en la valoración que las sociedades hacen del cuidado donde empiezan las diferencias y las profundas desigualdades. Este libro nos ofrece un bien común intelectual, al documentar de forma cooperativa la organización social del cuidado de niñas, niños y adolescentes en Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali y Bucaramanga, y nos propone como proyecto de sociedad “un movimiento significativo que ponga en el centro la vida y el cuidado como acciones para construirla, promoverla y conservarla”. Angela María Robledo Gómez
