Marxism, Psychoanalysis and the Brazilian feminism

Abstract

Protests against feminicide, the fight for the legalization of abortion, demands for public policies: at a time of intense social debates on topics so dear to feminism, recovering past experiences and narrating the historicity of women's struggles is a necessary task. In this context, the book Marxism, Psychoanalysis and Brazilian feminism, by sociologist Maria Lygia Quartim de Moraes, plays a significant role. Published in two volumes within the “Trajectories” collection (IFCH-Unicamp), the The book recovers seventeen works written between 1976 and 2009, in addition to an interview published in 2016. The collection comprises unpublished articles, chapters from the author's doctoral and associate degree theses and other texts published in books and magazines with out-of-print editions. The texts thus cover different moments in the intellectual itinerary of the sociologist, who is a professor at IFCH and a researcher at the Center for Gender Studies/Pagu, both at Unicamp.
