Interseccionalidade e vidas dissidentes: desconstrução do sujeito carnofalogocêntrico em uma práxis ecofeminista

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze, from an intersectional perspective, the connection between different forms of domination, more specifically sexism and speciesism, in order to identify the consequences of these interconnections. In the first chapter will be presented the work O Animal que Logo Sou, by Jacques Derrida, to analyze the common points and existing limits between the animal and the human, from what would be determined, according to Derrida, as what is proper to man. We seek to observe to what extent such a limit would legitimize the subjection of other living beings. The concept of sentience will be presented as another form of limit, as a common border to be considered between humans and non-humans. In the second chapter, it is intended to present the concepts of carnism, carnophalogocentrism and sexual politics of meat, in order to develop a further study on the imbrications between gender and species, as common pillars to the sexist and speciesist structures. The characteristic attributes of the established dominant subjectivity will then be examined from the perspective of the presented concepts. In the third chapter, will be presented the ecofeminist theory, in its animalistic aspect, as a necessary counterpoint and as a form of resistance to the domination exercised over women and non-human animals. Therefore, we attempt to develop an argument focused in presenting the contribution of ecofeminist theory to the deconstruction of the carnophalogocentric subject.
