The translocalization of Latin American feminisms in the mirror of transnational encounters

In the article, I discuss the character of the current feminisms of the Latin American continent against the background of the experiences of the last 25 years of transnational organization and mobilization. The conf licts surrounding the meaning of feminist autonomy and the gender of the feminist subject are traced using a poststructuralist discourse analysis of the Latin American and Caribbean Feminist Encounters (EFLACs). I argue that the necessity to confront their own exclusions at the Encounters has led to the majority of Latin American feminisms recognizing the plurality of feminisms, which - despite continuing ambivalences - can serve as the basis for a decolonizing feminist politics.
