Public Call - Thematic Dossier Proposal for Mnemosine Magazine - UFCG
2021-09-25
This proposal for a thematic dossier aims to bring together articles that result from research
and theoretical reflections, whose discussions revolve around the approximations and limits
between Marxist thought and theoretical approaches on class, gender, race, and coloniality
of power and knowledge.
The strengthening of feminist and black movements in recent decades, combined with the critique
of Eurocentric thought, radically transformed the theoretical and political field, with the
expansion of the struggle for rights and for the recognition of sexism and racism as structural
oppressions to be fought. The recent interest of the publishing market in feminism, in general, and black feminism, in particular, the expansion of the debate on racism and sexism in the media and social networks and the growth of academic research in the Human Sciences, on these themes, are indications. evidence of ongoing changes. The intersectionality category has focused on the connections of different social markers that
have often been, and still are, made invisible. In addition to socioeconomic inequalities and
class oppression, there are analyzes on gender and race as fundamental challenges both in the
field of historical investigations and in the political arena. The structural transformations
of the capitalist system captured by different authors and authors point to guidelines for
historical and sociological research on the formation and development of the working class
(metamorphosed into precariousness), the role of culture and experience in confronting the
subordinate classes in the face of oppression and the exhaustion of classical models of
political organization, especially parties and unions. Given this context, the intention of this thematic dossier proposal is to gather reflections
and analyzes that confront or propose dialogues between authors, authors and categories of
Marxism, feminist theories, anti-racist struggle and decolonial reflections. Thus, articles
on the works of Silvia Federici, Angela Davis, Beatriz Nascimento, Lélia Gonzalez, Nancy
Fraser, Axel Honnett, Stuart Hall, Raymond Williams, Frantz Fanon, among others; works that
analyze the articulation between class, gender and race; and reflections on the actuality
and impasses of Marxist thought, especially in the field of historiography.
