Abstract

This article analyses the role of feminist activists and feminist political ideas in Chile during the 2019 popular revolt. In the last months of 2019, a popular anti-neoliberal revolt was marked by social protests, violent and nonviolent civil disobedience and political upheaval. Feminists, specifically from the collective Coordinadora Feminista 8 de Marzo (C8M), became central during this period. They not only participated in the organisation of protests and artistic interventions but also helped to install and advance feminist ideas in mainstream public debate. Based on qualitative interviews with feminist activists, conducted between February and April 2021, this article identifies three strands of feminist political ideas that were predominant during and after the popular revolt: 1) autonomism as anti-neoliberal organising; 2) the resurgence of the idea of political-sexual violence; and 3) the link between neoliberalism and the precariousness of life. Following these three strands, this article argues that what occurred in Chile was a feminist revolt, understood as the potencia to transit from concept-building to demand-making in order to push forward feminist horizons as a central political idea.

起义中的起义"：智利社会起义中的女权主义政治思想

本文分析了智利女权活动家和女权政治思想在2019年人民起义中的作用。在2019年的最后几个月里，一场反新自由主义的民众起义以社会抗议、暴力和非暴力非暴力非暴力反抗以及政治动荡为标志。在此期间，女权主义者，特别是来自集体 "3 月 8 日女权协调组织"（C8M）的女权主义者成为核心。她们不仅参与组织抗议活动和艺术干预，还帮助将女权主义思想纳入主流公共辩论并加以推进。根据 2021 年 2 月至 4 月期间对女权活动家的定性访谈，本文指出了在人民起义期间和之后占主导地位的三股女权政治思想：1）作为反新自由主义组织的自治主义；2）政治性暴力思想的复苏；3）新自由主义与生活不稳定之间的联系。根据这三个方面，本文认为在智利发生的是一场女权运动，它被理解为从建立概念到提出要求的转变，以推动女权运动作为一种核心政治理念。
