Sociologie des féministes des années 1970 : analyse localisée, incidences biographiques et transmission familiale d’un engagement pour la cause des femmes en France / Sociology of 1970’s feminist activists : local approach, biographical consequences and family transmission of a commitment for women’s cause in France

Masclet, Camille 20 June 2017 (has links)
Par une contestation radicale du patriarcat et visant une « libération des femmes », les mouvements féministes qui se développent dans les années 1970 ont contribué à remettre en question les rapports de genre dans de nombreux domaines. À partir d’une recherche combinant travail sur archives, enquête par questionnaire et entretiens, la thèse prend pour objet l’engagement de femmes dans ces mobilisations en France. Elle vise à comprendre comment la participation à ce mouvement social – caractérisé par la politisation de la sphère privée – a transformé les trajectoires de militantes « ordinaires » et celles de leurs enfants. Au moyen d’une approche localisée et comparée, la thèse analyse d’abord les contextes militants dans lesquels les féministes ont circulé et ont été socialisées. Retraçant les mobilisations féministes qui se déploient à Lyon et à Grenoble entre 1970 et 1984, elle revisite l’histoire des féminismes français de la « deuxième vague ». Étudiant ensuite les carrières militantes des féministes, la thèse montre les effets socialisateurs durables de ces engagements et leur empreinte sur les différentes sphères de leur vie. Des analyses séquentielles permettent de mettre au jour leurs principaux devenirs jusqu’à aujourd’hui, sur le plan politique comme sur le plan personnel. Resserrant la focale d’analyse sur les féministes devenues mères, l’enquête révèle finalement par quels pratiques et processus une transmission familiale du féminisme s’est opérée et quels héritages politiques en résultent chez les enfants. Elle dégage plusieurs facteurs pour comprendre les appropriations différenciées de ces héritages parmi la deuxième génération. / The feminist movements that arose in the 1970’s, promoting a radical contestation of patriarchy and committed to “women’s liberation”, helped challenge gender relations in many areas. Built upon an empirical research that combines archival work, questionnaires and interviews, my dissertation focuses on the women who took part in these mobilizations in France. It aims to understand how the involvement in this movement, characterised by the politicization of the private sphere, transformed “common” activists’ trajectories and those of their children. Using a local and comparative approach, this work first analyses the contexts in which the feminists evolved and were socialised. By tracing the feminist mobilizations that unfolded in Lyons and Grenoble between 1970 and 1984, it also revisits the history of the “second wave” French women’s movements. The study of the feminists’ activist careers then highlights the lasting socialising effects of their commitments and the impact they had on different areas of their life. Likewise, the use of sequence analysis reveals the trajectories they followed until present day, both from a political and personal prospect. Finally, a deeper focus on the activists who became mothers uncovers how intergenerational transmission of feminism occurred and which political contents the children inherited. In particular, this dissertation proposes several factors that help understand the differentiated appropriations of this heritage among the second generation.

Proměna a vývoj feministických hnutí v Koreji po roce 1980 / Redefinition, Tasks and Development of the Feminist Movements in Korea of 1980s

Boukalová, Tereza January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this diploma thesis is an analysis of historical and political factors that participated in the foundation and development of feminist movements in Korea after 1980. The first chapter deals with the working conditions of women employed in textile factories and subsequently describes the protest actions of these women in the 1970s. Protests and collective actions grew into political activism, which created the first women's movements in the 1980s. The second chapter is devoted to their character and development. The following section deals with another important factor that has influenced the formation of the identity of feminist movements in Korea, women active in politics. Their struggle to change Family law in the 1990s united women's movements and strongly signed on their future direction.

Context Matters: How Feminist Movements Magnify Feminist Opinion of Progressive Policies in South America

Ferris, Rachel E. 08 1900 (has links)
What explains the inconsistency of female empowerment in South America, despite high levels of institutional inclusion? Generally, the social sciences tend to lean on the tenets of liberal feminism in order to measure the development of gender-inclusive policy changes; however, their findings indicate that higher levels of institutional inclusion does not necessarily translate into the empowerment of women as a group. Further, within political science, there is little research addressing the relationship between feminist movements and the feminist opinion of individuals within a state. I argue that strong feminist social movements provide a context in which feminist opinion is magnified, and where individuals will be more likely to support progressive policy changes. Using questions from the World Values Survey, I operationalize progressive policies as the Justifiability of Abortion. My primary independent variables are the presence feminist movements and the presence of feminist opinion, which is measured by support for female sexual freedom. After using a multilevel mixed-effects linear regression, I find support for my hypotheses, indicating that feminist opinion is magnified by the presence of feminist movements.

Not One (Woman) Less Social Media Activism to end Violence Against Women: The case of the Feminist Movement ‘Ni Una Menos’

Sjöberg, Cecilia January 2019 (has links)
The struggle to end violence against women and girls has long been a priority topic for women’s and feminist movements in Latin America. Lately, since the changes in the new media landscape (Castells 2015; Lievrouw, 2013) with the increased use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the way women and feminist movements advocate their intentions are changing (Harcourt, 2013; Mathos, 2017). Departing from this reality, the aim is to investigate the role the use of social media activism played for the recent feminist movement, Ni Una Menos (NUM [Not One Less]), in Argentina and Chile while advocating for the end of violence against women. Taking a cross disciplinary approach this research combines theories from the fields of feminist studies, social movement and communication sciences. Through in-depth interviews with core activists from NUM both in Argentina and Chile as research method, it has been possible to identify the role of certain social media platforms for NUM’s tactical repertoire in their strive to advocate for the end of violence against women and girls. The findings also demonstrate the activism on social media platforms by the NUM movement has played an important role to set the topic on the public agenda in these countries, resulting in a generally greater awareness. Regardless off the role social media activism played, the importance seems to lie in a combination of activism on social media and the streets for feminist movements advocating to end violence against women because it assures a broad reach to all people in society. Nevertheless, to end violence against women in these countries much more effort is needed by society at large.

Da esterilização ao Zika: interseccionalidade e transnacionalismo nas políticas de saúde para as mulheres / From sterilization to Zika: intersectionality and transnationalism in health policies for women

Carvalho, Layla Daniele Pedreira de 14 August 2017 (has links)
O objetivo desta tese é entender o papel desempenhado por discursos e ferramentas transnacionais na atuação de atores políticos interessados nas políticas de saúde para as mulheres no Brasil entre 1983 e 2016. Buscamos entender a mobilização de discursos e dinâmicas transnacionais por diferentes atores políticos, sobretudo os movimentos de mulheres, representados por três redes de ativismo: a Rede Nacional Feminista de Saúde, Direitos Sexuais e Direitos Reprodutivos; a Rede pela Humanização do Parto e Nascimento e a Articulação de Mulheres Negras Brasileiras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa engajada cujos métodos de pesquisa foram: pesquisa documental; entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante. Analisamos três momentos em que debates e atores internacionais, nacionais e locais buscam determinar alterações nas políticas de saúde para as mulheres estabelecidas que atendam seus interesses. O primeiro caso que apresentamos é o processo de elaboração do PAISM, no início da década de 1980. Em larga medida, o PAISM é resultado da articulação de feministas dentro do Ministério da Saúde, constituindo a resposta à demanda da sociedade brasileira e internacional quanto à necessidade do estabelecimento de uma política populacional no Brasil, de acordo com os compromissos assumidos pelo país na Conferência de Bucareste, em 1974. O segundo caso é a criação do Programa Rede Cegonha, em 2011. A justificativa oficial para o lançamento do Programa é a dificuldade de alcance dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio no que tange à mortalidade materna. A reação ao Rede Cegonha por parte dos movimentos feministas e das mulheres negras é forte e quase imediata ao lançamento da nova política, caracterizada como uma política materno-infantil em contraponto ao paradigma de saúde da mulher vigente entre 1983 e 2010. O terceiro caso é a recente epidemia do vírus Zika e seus efeitos nos direitos reprodutivos das mulheres, sobretudo das mulheres negras no Brasil. Entre os resultados da pesquisa, destacamos que os discursos transnacionais sobre saúde são, caso não sejam acompanhadas da presença de grupos articulados de feministas ou grupos com objetivos específicos de defesa da saúde das mulheres de maneira ampla, em larga medida, utilizados para reduzir definições mais inclusivas de políticas. Além disso, destacamos os diferenciais de acesso a saúde entre as mulheres quando são usadas abordagens interseccionais de raça/cor. As mulheres negras no primeiro caso eram o público-alvo das ações de esterilização que levaram ao estabelecimento da Lei de Planejamento Familiar em 1996, que determinou a necessidade de separação entre parto e operação de laqueadura. No que tange à mortalidade materna, os diferencias de morte entre mulheres brancas e negras são enormes: caso a razão de mortalidade materna do país contasse apenas com as mulheres brancas, o Brasil teria sido capaz de alcançar uma das metas dos Objetivos do Milênio. No caso do Zika, o racismo ambiental tem afetado profundamentamente a vida das populações sem acesso a saneamento básico o que tem deixado essas populações vulneráveis diante de quaisquer epidemias. / The main objective of this thesis is to understand the role played by transnational discourses and tools in the performance of political actors interested in health policies for women in Brazil between 1983 and 2016. We seek to understand the mobilization of transnational discourses and dynamics by different political actors, especially women\'s movements, represented by three networks of activism: Rede Nacional Feminista de Saúde, Direitos Sexuais e Direitos Reprodutivos; Rede pela Humanização do Parto e Nascimento and Articulação de Mulheres Negras Brasileiras. It is an engaged research whose methods of research were: documental research; Semi-structured interviews and participant observation. We analyze three moments in which international, national and local debates and actors seek to determine changes in already established health policies for women. The first case we present is the PAISM elaboration process, in the early 1980s. Largely, the PAISM is a result of the articulation of feminists within the Ministry of Health, constituting the response to the demand of Brazilian and international society concerning the establishment of a population policy in Brazil, in accordance with the commitments made by the country at the Bucharest Conference in 1974. The second case is the creation of Programa Rede Cegonha in 2011. The official justification for launching the Program was aim to achieve the Millennium Development Goals with regard to maternal mortality. The reaction to Rede Cegonha by the feminist and black women\'s movements was strong and almost immediate to the launch of the new policy. It was considered a mother-child policy in opposition to the women\'s health paradigm in force between 1983 and 2010. The third case is the recent outbreak of the Zika virus and its effects on the reproductive rights of women, especially black women in Brazil. Among the results of the research, we emphasize that the transnational discourses on health, if not accompanied by the presence of articulated groups of feminists or groups with specific objectives in defending the health of women, are more commonly used to straighten the contents of policies. In addition, we highlight health access differentials among women when intersectional race/color approaches are used. Black women in the first case were the target audience for the sterilization actions that led to the establishment of the Family Planning Act in 1996, which determined the need for separation between delivery and sterilization. Regarding maternal mortality, the differences in death among white and black women are enormous: if Brazil\'s maternal mortality ratio was the same as the white women in the country, Brazil would have met one of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals. In the case of Zika, environmental racism has profoundly affected the lives of people without access to basic sanitation, which has left these populations vulnerable to any health outbreak.

Relações de poder no feminismo paulista - 1975 a 1981 / Power relations in feminism in São Paulo

Ribeiro, Maria Rosa Dória 12 August 2011 (has links)
A segunda onda do Movimento Feminista no Brasil emergiu em um contexto de combate à Ditadura. E surgiu em São Paulo como possibilidade de reforçar mais uma frente de luta contra o governo militar. Mas o feminismo ainda era uma novidade pouco conhecida até por aquelas que se declaravam como feministas. Era rechaçado pelos segmentos mais conservadores da sociedade, mas também pelos militantes da Esquerda revolucionária. Estes o consideravam fora de tempo e lugar. Ao impulsionar o movimento social, o feminismo no Brasil reapareceu em meados da década de 70 enfrentando a questão do poder externamente, na sociedade e no Estado, e internamente, no próprio Movimento de Mulheres. Os vários grupos que compunham o campo em que se afirmava o feminismo disputavam o controle do Movimento de acordo com os referenciais tradicionais de poder. E, ao mesmo tempo, buscavam alternativas de gestão do movimento que fugissem daqueles modelos. Ora porque assim as circunstâncias impunham, ora porque assumiam as críticas elaboradas pelo feminismo à natureza patriarcal e autoritária do poder tradicional. As contradições que o Movimento de Mulheres abrigou punham em jogo as posições de todas as suas ativistas, inclusive das próprias feministas. Fazia com que reexaminassem os seus papéis sociais e constatassem as suas condições de oprimidas. Construir as identidades feministas significava romper com os cânones estabelecidos para o ser mulher que haviam aprendido. Assim como implicava assumir-se como sujeito de suas lutas. / The second wave of the Feminist Movement in Brazil emerged in the context of fighting the Dictatorship. And it arose in São Paulo as a possibility to further enhance a battle front against the military government. Yet feminism was still a little known novelty even by those who declared themselves as feminists. It was rejected by the more conservative segments of the society, and also by supporters of the revolutionary Left, who regarded feminism as out of place and time. By propelling the social movement, feminism reemerged in Brazil in the midseventies facing the issue of power both externally, regarding the society and the state, and internally, inside the Women\'s Movement. The various groups comprising the field where feminism was grounded vied for control of the Movement in accordance with traditional references of power. At the same time, those groups sought alternatives to manage the movement, thus trying to escape from those conventional models. And this was because either the circumstances imposed, or because the groups adopted the Feminisms critique regarding the authoritarian and patriarchal nature of traditional power. The contradictions harbored by the Women\'s Movement put at stake the position of all its activists, including the feminists themselves. They were led to re-examine their social roles and to face their condition of oppressed beings. Building feminist identities meant breaking with the established canons that they have learned regarding what is to be a woman. The construction of the feminist identity also meant to become the subject of their own struggles.
