Draper: el paro como proceso.

Good evening. This video is about the text by Susana Draper, which is also in this text, "8M Feminist Constellation." We have already worked with several texts that we have taken from here. On this occasion, we are working with Susana Draper's text, "The Strike as a Process: Building Poetics of a New Feminism." I have chosen this

That is to say, the word "strike"

in the context of a women's strike begins to take on a new meaning; it transforms into a figure that condenses an economy of the everyday, a series of forms of violence, the very fabric of social reproduction. All these elements are precisely what this strike will be against. So, as I was saying, when we talk about a women's strike, the
