Abstract

The Buckets Revolution is a local non-governmental organization arisen from an initiative implemented in a favela, a marginalized community in the South of Brazil, led and conducted by its women to resist their condition of intersected subordinations and address the socioenvironmental problems caused by the lack of public care. Based on the understanding that women of the Buckets Revolution developed a particular politics of care, this study investigates the configuration of the complex relations between their political practice and the responsibility for care—understood as a core element of women's intersected subordination, and simultaneously, a central value for a new and revolutionary politics of care. From a qualitative approach, the case study is based on an intersectional feminist theoretical framework, epistemology, and methodological design, necessary for the analysis of gender in the South, where its imbrications with race, class, and nation compose a complex, diverse, and unequal scenario. In that sense, the women of the Buckets Revolution, by occupying a social place where these axes of subordination intersect more intensely, offer a “vantage point” to make more visible the processes of domination and resistance on both national and global levels—that is, both in Brazilian society and in an otherwise increasingly interdependent world shaped by neoliberal globalization. The gendered intersectional outline is conducted through the combination of data collection techniques, including participant observation, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and bibliographical research. The results show that, with their revolutionary politics of care, the women of the Buckets Revolution built a contextualized, horizontal, and bottom-up care-based counter-hegemonic alternative to address the socioenvironmental problems that resulted from intersected subordinations in the Brazilian context, and more broadly, in the contemporary neoliberal global order.

革命中的妇女和关爱政治:解决巴西南部边缘化社区社会环境问题倡议的性别交叉方法
Buckets Revolution是一个地方非政府组织,起因于在巴西南部一个被边缘化的贫民窟社区实施的一项倡议,由该社区的妇女领导和开展,以抵制她们的交叉从属状况,并解决由于缺乏公共护理而造成的社会环境问题。基于对Buckets革命中的女性发展出一种特殊的照顾政治的理解,本研究调查了她们的政治实践与照顾责任之间复杂关系的配置——照顾责任被理解为女性交叉从属的核心要素,同时也是新的革命性照顾政治的核心价值。从定性的角度来看,案例研究基于交叉的女权主义理论框架、认识论和方法论设计,这是分析南方性别所必需的,在南方,性别与种族、阶级和民族的重叠构成了一个复杂、多样和不平等的场景。从这个意义上说,雄鹿革命中的女性占据了一个社会位置,在这个位置上,这些从属轴心交叉得更为强烈,她们提供了一个“有利位置”,让国家和全球层面的统治和抵抗过程更加明显——也就是说,在巴西社会和新自由主义全球化塑造的日益相互依存的世界中。性别交叉大纲是通过数据收集技术的结合进行的,包括参与者观察、焦点小组讨论、半结构化访谈和文献研究。研究结果表明,凭借其革命性的关怀政治,巴基特革命的女性建立了一种情境化、横向和自下而上的基于关怀的反霸权替代方案,以解决巴西背景下以及更广泛的当代新自由主义全球秩序中因交叉从属关系而产生的社会环境问题。
