Interview
Melina Vázquez and Carolina Spataro explore a new type of right-wing
libertarian feminism, distinct not only from left-wing feminism but
also from classical liberal feminism and right-wing conservatism. Who
are these libertarian feminists and why do they think feminism has
more to do with Javier Milei than with socialism?
Antifeminism & LGBTIQ
In PerspectiveThe explosive growth of social media self-help culture promises quick solutions to intimate crises, from restoring “feminine energy” to reclaiming “masculine power.” Yet beneath its language of empowerment lies a deeper political logic. As neoliberal societies produce a growing “care deficit,” self-help influencers transform insecurity into a market while promoting survivalist individualism, gender essentialism, and authoritarian fantasies of control that increasingly echo the moral agendas of contemporary far-right politics.

InterviewArgentinian feminist intellectual Rita Segato draws connections between the genocide in Gaza and the femicides she studied in Ciudad Juárez, and reflects about the current fascistic shift and how some of her key conceptualizations on coloniality, race, and violence, help us decipher it.

Theory & Research
Neoliberalism has dismantled the social structures that offered
security and orientation to life. The far right successfully channels
the resulting fears and anxieties towards purist, social Darwinist fantasies. Politics of care stands as a defiant response to that. In
an era defined by uncertainty and precarity, care emerges as
survival, resistance, and imagination. Care is a counter-normative
project: sustaining and (re)generating social life while embracing
contradiction and resisting the demands for purity.
