Políticas de lo inapropiable: coteorizar lo común a través de luchas heterogéneas encarnadas por mujeres en Valparaíso Chile y en Medellín Colombia

Abstract

This research addresses the notion of the common through a process of co-theorization with women who in Valparaíso-Chile and Medellín-Colombia embody heterogeneous struggles and assume them as a way of life. The work is articulated through three axes: 1) the description of a proprietary device, a heterogeneous set of elements that determine that property, constituted as a principle and foundation of social order, derives from the deprivation of life. 2) The understanding of the common as a political category is built in collective social practices to defend life. 3) The imagination, design, and creation of policies of the inappropriate that are elaborated in the struggles embodied by women. The work is based on the feminist epistemology of situated knowledge and on the Narrative Productions methodology, which consists of the elaboration of stories in which the participants share their life stories, their experiences, and the theory embodied in practice. Their status is that of creator-co-authors who diagnose problems, imagine possible scenarios, and create other policies. Each theoretical-methodological axis of the thesis is built from a process of co-theorization, articulation, and inter/transdisciplinary collective interpretation between academic studies and the knowledge that emerges in the narratives. The work broadens the understanding of the contemporary processes of elaboration of the common from heterogeneous feminist struggles that contribute to thinking of other worlds that cannot be appropriated and of a common future.
