Cross-Movement Radical Housing Alliances in Argentina: For a Feminist Grammar of Tenant Organising

Abstract

This paper explores the intersections between tenant and feminist movements in Argentina, focusing on the collaboration between Inquilinos Agrupados and the Ni Una Menos collective. It highlights how feminist–tenant alliances have created new feminist grammars in tenant organising through forms of solidarity and feminist pedagogies. The paper argues that tenant struggles cannot be viewed as single-issue movements, but must be understood through the lens of intersections of different converging struggles. Two key feminist interventions—feminist–tenant jurisprudence and feminist data collection—demonstrate how radical tenant political action in Argentina conjoins cross-movement housing work with feminist pedagogy as an urban grammar. The research contributes to academic discussion of cross-movement alliances, feminist housing justice, and new grammars of the urban ground.
