Resumen: El siguiente artículo expone el feminismonacido en Europa y Norteamérica como elaboracionesdiscursivas coloniales que definieron lo que era ser mujery feminista, y cómo las categorías género y patriarcadoestablecieron lo que era la subordinación de la mujer ytambién las posibilidades de su emancipación. Son discursoscoloniales en el sentido en que han construido alas mujeres del tercer mundo, o del sur global, como un“otro”. El caso específico examinado en el presente artículocuestiona la construcción feminista euro-usa-céntricahecha sobre las mujeres y las feministas afrodescendientes,y cómo ellas bajo diversos procesos de resignificación delas categorías de análisis propuestas por el feminismo,como género y patriarcado, se afirman como mujeres negrasdiversas que construyen propuestas subversoras delorden social que las oprime de diferentes formas en razónde su condición racializada, de pobreza y de mujeres sinnecesidad de acudir a las categorías centrales del feminismo.Sin embargo, se sostiene que las mujeres negraspertenecientes a comunidades étnicas elaboran un nuevotipo de feminismo el cual se construye relacionado con lasacciones colectivas de su comunidad en la exigibilidad desus derechos. Finalmente se evidencia como las mujeresnegras/afrocolombianas construyen desde el legado desus ancestras cimarronas y palenqueras un feminismo otroque cuestiona los planteamientos universalistas del feminismoeurocéntrico y andinócéntrico, transformándolo yenriqueciéndolo.Palabras clave: género, feminismo, raza, patriarcado,discurso, poder, afrodescendientes, resistencia, descolonialidad.Feminism Cannot Be Single Because Women Are Diverse. Contributions to a Decolonial Black Feminism Stemming from the Experience of Black Women of the Colombian PacificAbstract: This article asserts that feminisms bornin Europe and North America are colonial discursiveelaborations that defined what it was to be a woman anda feminist, and that the categories of gender and patriarchyestablished what the subordination of women wasand also the possibilities for their emancipation. They’recolonial discourses in the sense that they have construedwomen of the third world, or of the global south, like an“other”. The specific case examined in this article questionthe euro-USA-centric feminist construction made aboutwomen and afro- descended feminist, and how they underseveral processes of resignification of the categories ofanalysis proposed by feminism, such as gender and patriarchy,assert themselves as diverse black women that buildproposals subverting the social order that oppresses them,without the need to recur to the central categories of feminism.However, women belonging to ethnic communitieselaborate a new type of feminism which is constructed inrelation to the community’s collective actions in demandingtheir rights. Finally, black of afro-Colombian women buildan alternate feminism based on the legacy of their maroonor runaway slave ancestors, questioning the universalistpositions of the Eurocentric and Andean-centric feminism,transforming it and enriching it.Key Words: gender, feminism, race, patriarchy, discourse,power, Afro-descendants, resistance, decoloniality.

The Third World

Increasingly, one can observe the power of the state extending into the modem sector of Third World economies. Different types of cooperative relationships are established with multinational corporations, even to the point of excluding them altogether. A considerable part of the literature suggests that in this instance there is the formation of dependent capitalist societies, what could be referred to as state capitalism. Such a definition is contradictory and conceals the true operation of these societies. In fact, was are witnessing the emergence of a new type of production that the author refers to as bureaucratic development societies dominated by bureaucratically organized state classes. These state-classes collectively appropriate the social surplus and determine its allocation on a political basis allocating it either to consumption by the dominant class or to investment, but in this latter case, without consideration as to the immediate return on possible investments. The means by which such a class arrives at decisions are of particular interest because the author shows that they constitute both a hope and a threat for the broad-based development of the economies and the societies of the Third World.

Resumen: Este artículo versa sobre el actual estado    de la teorización, de la terminología y del conocimien- to empírico relativo a la producción social y ejercicio del trabajo sexual, con atención especial a las teorías    y conceptos que estructuran el tema de la participación diferenciada de las mujeres en general, y de las muje- res con características étnicas/raciales subalternizadas en particular, en el mercado del sexo. Se delinea una postura alternativa a los planteamientos convenciona- les higienistas, criminalistas o victimistas desde donde tradicionalmente se ha analizado la cuestión. Adicio- nalmente, se reflexiona sobre el crecimiento, expansión y modernización de la industria del sexo, en la que algu- nos países post-industrializados asumen la condición de demandantes y los países en vía de desarrollo, la de ofer- tantes de mano de obra para el consumo de experiencias sexuales de diferente índole. De igual modo, se delibera sobre la importancia que tiene la comercialización del sexo, para el desarrollo económico de algunos países y el trabajo sexual como estrategia de “rebusque” frente a los embates de la vida cotidiana. Asimismo, describimos las formas de explotación y de ejercicio del oficio de tra- bajadoras del sexo.Palabras claves: Mercado global del sexo, construcción de la ocupación, interseccionalidad, trabajo sexual, mu- jeres afrocolombianas, sexualidades disidentesFrom the Hygienist Paradigm to Intersectionality. The Social Construction of Sexual WorkAbstract: The present article deals with the current state of the theorizing, the terminology and the empirical knowledge about the social production and exercise of sex work, with special attention to theories and concepts that structure the subject of the different participation in the sex trade of women in general, and of women with subalternized ethnic/racial features in particular. It de- lineates an alternative view to conventional hygienist approaches, or criminal or victimization approaches, traditionally used to analyze the issue. In addition, this paper reflects on the growth, expansion and moderniza- tion of the sex industry, in which some post-industrialized countries provide the demand and developing countries provide the supply of labor for the consumption of sexual experiences. Similarly, it discusses the importance of the commercialization of sex for the economic development of some countries and of sex work as a strategy of look- ing for informal work while coping with the ravages of everyday life. It also describes the forms of exploitation of sex workers in the exercise of their profession. Key words: global sex market, occupation, intersection- ality, sex work, Afro-Colombian women, dissident sexu- alities

This article forms part of a wider research project which aims to pick out in expressions of popular religion a cultural pool which can provide an alternative to the invasion of cultural models imported, by the media in particular, from the West. The historical content of religious practices, although frequently obli terated by unconsciousness and by successive alienations, nearly always constitutes a capital of popular restistance to attacks on the poor. What we are concerned with is how it is possible to move from simple resistance to active mobilization through the religious medium. The case of Peru, with the two examples considered (an Andean sanctuary and an Afro-Peruvian procession) can in all probability be applied to other cases of marginality in both the Third World and industrialized society. The advantage with Peru is that the social and cultural contradictions inherited from colo nial and republican history are very sharp, indeed caricatured.

La organización Red Nacional de Mujeres Afrocolombianas Kambirí ha emprendido procesos de acción colectiva desde la interseccionalidad y sus demandas particulares. Avanzan en su proceso de empoderamiento, a pesar de las discriminaciones interseccionales e intolerancia, incluso dentro del feminismo, frente a los procesos organizativos de mujeres y lideresas defensoras de derechos humanos. La interseccionalidad permite analizar y entender las situaciones de discriminación y las opresiones a nivel estructural que viven en la sociedad a través de sus instituciones. Se concluye que el activismo desde el feminismo y el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos como discurso y herramienta jurídica vinculante son los instrumentos fundamentales para visibilizar las múltiples discriminaciones y atacar las situaciones de injusticia que surgen en torno a las mujeres afrodescendientes.

Chinese translations of U.S. literature manifest a shift from the third-world internationalism and anti-Western and anti-capitalist politics of the 1950s toward a diminished rhetorical antagonism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because translation introductions are instrumental in introducing Chinese readers to the social context of U.S. literature, we surveyed a broad sample of prefaces. Based on this survey, we theorize China-U.S. translation relations within a world system; examine the ideological character of post-Revolution translation introductions to American literature; and identify shifting ideological tides following the Cultural Revolution.

Academics and aid officials are increasingly turning their attention to two aspects of rural development: the structure of the local society, and the social impact of agricultural programmes. In part this reflects a pessimistic and moralistic reassessment of earlier attempts to promote development in the Third World. However, this analytical focus also represents the continuing evolution of research by those who are engaged in refining their theoretical perspectives on rural society.

The article analyzes the social transformations that have taken place in societies at the turn of the XXI century. These transformations are largely due to formation of radical inequality which is known now both in practice and theory as “1% economy”.The article demonstrates that adequate understanding of this new type of social inequality is possible only under the condition of change in methodological approach. Contstructivist approach should be given up in favour of structuralist approach. The structuralist approach makes it possible to view the new social inequality as an objective social process as the social structure of a new type of society. This social structure and social order determine social chances and life conditions of individuals.New radical social inequality gives rise to a new type of contemporary society. The bipolar society replaces the mass middle class society of the second half of the XX century. The bipolar society may be graphically presented as a pyramid with a truncated top and a broad social bottom.The article shows the processes and mechanisms that are forming this broad social bottom. This makes it possible to conceptualize the new social lower class as an axial central component in the structure of contemporary bipolar societies. In this function it has replaced the middle class.
