FONSECA, Inara  and  GUZZO, Morgani. Feminisms and the colonial wound: a proposal to recover abducted bodies in Brazil. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.65-84. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n29.04.

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.
