URIBE FORERO, Laura María. THE MATTER OF THE SUBJECT OF FEMINISM: REALISM, NOMINALISM AND GENDER SCEPTICISM. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.100, pp.188-205.  Epub 05-Abr-2021. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n100.93366.

Generally, feminists assume that without a “thick” notion of women as a political category, feminisms’ normative claims collapse under their own weight. However, the sex/gender distinction occludes any straightforward definition of womaness, making it harder to articulate such thick political category. Gender realism and gender nominalism are two of the most well-known solutions to this impasse. In this paper I explore a third option that has been ruled out as “gender skeptic” because of its refusal to place the subject as politics’ condition of possibility. I argue that feminism can do without any notion of women as a political category in the traditional sense without having to renounce its rightful normative claims. Following the work of Jacques Rancière, I sketch how the concept of subjectivation as a process of disidentification can flesh out the idea of feminism without women.
