Abstract:
This article aims to reflect on the visible and invisible colonial marks that go beyond the historical time of colonization and act in the present time producing processes of exploitation/domination in the bodies of Brazilian women (indigenous, black, mestizo and white). Through the critical bibliographical review and the dialogue with Brazilian feminists (Gonzalez, 1984; Carneiro, 2003; Ribeiro, 2017) and Latin American feminists (Lugones, 2008; 2014; Anzaldúa, 1987), we show how the marks left by the wound colonialism function as a mechanism that contributes to the persistence of a modern colonial subjectivity. In the end, we present a proposal for the movement of Brazilian women and feminists, based on the idea of fractured locus, which allows at the same time an articulation and a fissure in the modern tendency to create hierarchical and dichotomous identities, fundamental for the maintenance of the Modern/Colonial System of Gender: heteropatriarchal, racist and capitalist.
Keywords: Modern Colonial System of Gender, coloniality of gender, Black feminism, Latin-american feminism.
