Abstract

In a patriarchal caste- and class-inflicted gendered work setting in an Indian state, Kerala, we explore the process of mobilizing neoliberal postfeminization and subsequent collectivization and collective acting of women from lower socioeconomic classes. We identify neoliberal postfeminism's structural contradictions and lingering individuating forces within a state-instituted yet bottom-up women empowerment collectivization program, enriching the emerging critique of neoliberal postfeminization, particularly within intersectionality conversations. Despite these impediments, the collective gradually developed a situational embodied relational collective feminist solidarity that facilitated possibilities for creating alternatives to neoliberal postfeminist patriarchal ways of organizing work and working bodies. By narratively mapping these processes, we hope to advance the emerging discussions on the development of feminist solidarity and solidaristic alternatives.

一个妇女集体的后女权主义个性化和一个关系性集体女权主义团结的艰难崛起:喀拉拉邦妇女赋权计划 Kudumbashree 的故事
在印度喀拉拉邦的父权制种姓和阶级造成的性别工作环境中,我们探讨了新自由主义后女性化的动员过程,以及随后的集体化和社会经济地位较低阶层妇女的集体行动。我们发现了新自由主义后女性化的结构性矛盾,以及在国家制定的、自下而上的妇女赋权集体化计划中挥之不去的个体化力量,丰富了对新自由主义后女性化的新兴批判,尤其是在交叉性对话中。尽管存在这些障碍,该集体逐渐发展出一种情景化的体现性关系集体女权主义团结,促进了创造新自由主义后女权主义父权制组织工作和工作机构的替代方式的可能性。我们希望通过对这些过程的叙述,推动关于女权主义团结和团结替代方式发展的讨论。
