The essays collected here analyze various methods of disciplining othered subjects and forms of transphobia, queerphobia, lesbophobia and homophobia of the 21st century. A point that the chapters in this collection have in common is the link between gender, sexuality, Eurocentrism and nationalism in xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia. The authors propose complex analyzes that are irreducible to the simple dualism of the progressive West/oppressive and queerphobic elsewhere. They counter the idea that a position of tolerance for sexual or ethnic minorities goes hand in hand with the condemnation of Islam as purely masculine and oppressive of the feminine. This conflation, defined here as progressive Islamophobia, spreads uncritically in Europe, reproducing the binarisms typical of Orientalism.

relativamente desconhecido. O pressuposto comum do decolonialismo e do pós-colonialismo é o de que vivemos uma realidade geopolítica marcada pela violência epistêmica e pelo colonialismo discursivo dos países do Norte Global.
Entendemos que a produção de conhecimento é afetada pela divisão internacional do trabalho e pelo capitalismo global de tal maneira que países do Sul Global marcados por um passado colonial acabam sendo englobados em uma universalidade das ciências produzidas no Norte global. Nossa realidade social é marcada pela invisibilização e silenciamento dos subalternos, o subproletariado urbano e camponeses expulsos de suas terras pelo agronegócio, os dissidentes sexuais e os corpos racializados. A coleção Pindorama almeja mostrar a história não contada sobre a
experiência e história dos povos racializados e submetidos ao racismo de assimilação.
Este segundo volume é um Dossiê e reúne uma coletânea de textos
que foram apresentados na II Jornada de Feminismos Decoloniais, evento
organizado pelas professoras Susana de Castro (UFRJ) e Caroline Marim
(UFPE) através do Grupo de Estudos Decoloniais Carolina Maria de Jesus e
teve como Comissão Técnico-Científica Susana de Castro, Mary Garcia Castro, Caroline Izidoro Marim, Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda, Tatiana Roque,
Beatriz Resende, Ana Cecilia Impellizieri Martins e Miriam Grossi.
A II Jornada Feminismos Decoloniais foi uma continuidade do
evento Fórum Mulher, que aconteceu entre os dias 21 e 27 de novembro
de 2019 e teve e tem como propósito discutir o pensamento feminista em
espaços abertos, gratuitos e democráticos para que o pensamento feminista, suas teorias e narrativas, sejam debatidos nas universidades e em pontos estratégicos do centro e das periferias do Rio de Janeiro. Naquela ocasião o Fórum Mulher, uma realização do Laboratório de Teoria e Práticas Feministas do Programa Avançado de Cultura Contemporânea (PACC) Letras/ UFRJ, associou-se ao Fórum de Ciência e Cultura, espaço de estudos superiores e debates da UFRJ e ao #AgoraÉQueSãoElas, um dos mais importantes polos do ativismo feminista da web. O Fórum Mulher é um espaço político acadêmico e político que tem ocupado a cidade e o universo das mídias sociais e a II Jornadas Feministas Decoloniais tem como objetivo dar continuidade a esse debate convidando pensadoras de diferentes localidades e perspectivas procurando ampliar ainda mais o debate do feminismo decolonial na Universidade e não somente nela.
O evento contou com o apoio da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa
do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Faperj) pelo Edital de Apoio a organização de
eventos e do Fórum de Ciência e Cultura da UFRJ. Também contou com as
parcerias da Editora Bazar do Tempo, Ape’Ku Editora, Grupo de pesquisa,
Epistemologias Afetivas Feministas, Laboratório Antígona de Filosofia e Gênero (UFRJ), Vozes de Mulheres (UFRJ) e Coleção Pindorama.
A II Jornada Feminismos Decoloniais aconteceu entre os dias
28 de junho e 2 de julho virtualmente, com todas as atividades gratuitas,
dentre elas: oficinas, lançamentos de livros e apresentação de podcast, pelo grupo de extensão da UFRJ vozes de mulheres. Entre as convidadas das mesas redondas e conferências estão nomes como Oyèrónkẹ Oyěwùmí, Rita Segato, Paola Bucchetta, Monica Cejas e na mesa redonda de encerramento contamos ainda com a participação das reitoras Denise Pires (UFRJ), Marcia (UnB), e Sandra Goulart (UFMG) para discutir sobre a construção de uma perspectiva feminista decolonial na Universidade em mesa mediada por Marisa Santana e Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda.
O objetivo do evento foi aproximar grupos de pesquisa feministas
de diferentes localidades e perspectivas para questionar: Qual Universidade
queremos? Quais epistemologias, saberes e práticas nos aproximam e podem sustentar uma Universidade Decolonial? E, a partir disso construir um espaço de troca, debate teórico-metodológico e formação de alianças acadêmicas em torno de questões feministas problematizadas sob a perspectiva decolonial, a programação foi pensada como um entrelaçamento de espaços diálógicos.
A II Jornada ofereceu oficinas e fóruns de discussão ativa e mesas redondas e conferências sempre acompanhadas de mediações e diálogos.
Neste volume compartilhamos alguns dos trabalhos e pesquisas que
foram apresentados na jornada dando continuidade e aprofundando o debate feminista decolonial, que ainda se encontra em construção. Entre eles, “A Universidade que não queremos”: Como pensar em fronteiras no espaço universitário?, de Marise de Santana; A construção do/a pesquisador/a encarnado/a em uma universidade pública e periférica: experimentações e modelagens no saber fazer das ciências corporificadas, por Suely Aldir Messeder, Cauê Ribeiro e Margarete Carvalho; Beatriz Nascimento, intérprete decolonial do Brasil, Susana de Castro; Rita Segato. Potencia feminista decolonial en acto, por Karina Bidaseca; Circulações
Anzaldúanas na Ilha da Tartaruga e na França: Alguns elementos para uma
Historiografia Densa e uma Contextualidade-Histórica Densa por Paola Bacchetta; Descolonizando o olhar: a construção de um ethos estético-político feminista que cria estratégias de luta e resistências pela palavra por meio do reconhecimento de outras vozes e escritas do corpo, Caroline Marim; Descolonizar a Vênus: As categorias estéticas da figura da Vênus sob a mira colonial: uma experiência vivida erótica e feminina, Raisa Inocêncio; Pretuguês - por uma literatura que rompe fronteiras, por Raffaella Fernandez, Drica Madeira, Victória França Xavier; Uma escrita antropofágica e marginal, de Aline de Oliveira Rosa, Victória Felippe França Xavier; e por fim, Porque devemos mudar o modo como contamos história: o exemplo decolonial do filme Isto não é um enterro, é uma ressurreição, de Humberto Giancristofaro.
Chapters focus on both the immersive global trajectories of race and racism, and the international variation in contemporary configurations of racialized experience. Race, class, and gender identities may not only be distinctive, they can extend across borders, continents, and oceans with remarkable demonstrations of solidarity happening all over the world. Palestinians, Black Panthers, Dalit, Native Americans, and Indian feminists among others meet and interact in this context. Intersections between race and such forms of power as colonialism and empire, capitalism, gender, sexuality, religion, and class are examined and compared across different national and global contexts. It is in this robust and comparative analytical approach that Global Raciality reframes conventional studies on postcolonial regimes and racial identities and expression.

il libro
Questo volume propone alcuni importanti contributi di un femminismo transnazionale che dagli anni Novanta cerca di spostare il baricentro delle questioni di genere oltre l'occidente bianco, radicando la propria riflessione e la propria pratica a un contesto postcoloniale. Essi rappresentano un forte e articolato punto di vista critico nei confronti dell'omofobia e dell'islamofobia, nonché del paradigma eteronormativo e nazionalista che si sta diffondendo in varie forme in Europa, negli Stati Uniti e in India. Uno dei tanti elementi che sicuramente li accomuna è il loro approccio analitico, dal quale emerge chiaramente una dimensione di genere della xenofobia e dell'islamofobia, ma anche una argomentata contestazione all'idea che la tolleranza progressista per le minoranze sessuali vada sempre di pari passo con la condanna dell'Islam come alterità puramente maschile e oppressiva del femminile. Questa confusione ideologica, qui definita "islamofobia progressista", viene fortemente problematizzata da analisi complesse, che si oppongono energicamente al dualismo Occidente progressista/altrove oppressivo e omofobo.
Come evitare che i discorsi sulle identità sessuali e di genere finiscano col fornire un sostegno, benché involontario, all'islamofobia, terreno scivoloso in cui il femminismo occidentale egemonico può trovarsi invischiato? I saggi qui proposti offrono alcune risposte e un contributo teorico e metodologico utili anche nel contesto italiano.

THE RIGHT TO HEAL: INTERNAL CONFLICT AND SOCIAL UPHEAVAL IN INDIA
Conflicted Democracies and Gendered Violence

Conflicted Democracies and Gendered Violence elucidates the centrality of political and foundational violence in the governance of conflicted democracies in the postcolony, calling attention to the urgent need for transformation. Spectacular and quotidian gendered and sexualized violence by states and collectives holds in place fraught and unjust histories and relations between elites and subalterns, majoritarian subjects and non-dominant “Others.” At the intersections of nationalist and decolonial confrontations, such violence regularizes states of emergency and exception. Through oral history, archival, and legal research undertaken over three years, this interdisciplinary work underscores the need for transitional and transformative justice mechanisms in conflicted democracies to address protracted conflict (focusing on their internal dimensions) and social upheaval. India serves as a case in point, exemplified by ongoing and recent conflicts in Jammu and Kashmir and the Punjab and episodic social upheavals in Gujarat (in 2002) and Odisha (in 2008). Victim-survivor narratives of counter-memory, historical records, and legal analyses of formative cases detail the depth and texture of social suffering and illustrate the inadequacy and inhumanity of official responses to events of extraordinary violence. Expanding on methods in justice and accountability and espousing the right to heal, scholars and practitioners raise critical questions regarding the state, civil society, and diverse institutions, and the most elemental of constituents: victim-survivors.

James Baldwin’s writing, his persona, as well as his public speeches, interviews, and discussions are undergoing a renewed reception in the arts, in queer and critical race studies, and in queer of color movements. Directed by Raoul Peck, the film I Am Not Your Negro decisively contributed to the rekindled circulation of Baldwin across the Atlantic. Since 2017, screenings and commentaries on the highly acclaimed film have prompted discussions about the persistent yet variously racialized temporal-spatial formations of Europe and the U.S. Stemming from a roundtable that fol- lowed a screening in Zurich in February 2018, this collective essay wanders between the audio-visual and textual matter of the film and Baldwin’s essay “Stranger in the Village,” which was also adapted into a film-essay directed by Pierre Koralnik, staging Baldwin in the Swiss village of Leukerbad. Privileging Black feminist, post- colonial, and queer of color perspectives, we identify three sites of Baldwin’s trans- atlantic reverberations: situated knowledge, controlling images, and everyday sexual racism. In conclusion, we reflect on the implications of racialized, sexualized politics for today’s Black feminist, queer, and trans of color movements located in continental Europe—especially in Switzerland and France.
In 1999, a generation of students at UC Berkeley who mobilized under the name of the twLF, fought to save the Ethnic Studies Department from facing severe budget cuts. As a result, the University instituted the Center for Race and Gender (CRG), a research center that encompasses work on race and gender across disciplines and deeply connects to local, national, and transnational communities of color and of struggle. Later, feminists fought for and the University established the program that evolved to become what is now the Department of Gender and Women's Studies. That Department is dedicated to intersectional and transnational teaching and research that understands gender and sex-uality as formed inseparably with critiques of colonialism and coloniality, racism, capitalism , speciesism, and other relations of power.

Conflicted Democracies and Gendered Violence elucidates the centrality of political and foundational violence in the governance of conflicted democracies in the postcolony, calling attention to the urgent need for transformation. Spectacular and quotidian gendered and sexualized violence by states and collectives holds in place fraught and unjust histories and relations between elites and subalterns, majoritarian subjects and non-dominant “Others.” At the intersections of nationalist and decolonial confrontations, such violence regularizes states of emergency and exception. Through oral history, archival, and legal research undertaken over three years, this interdisciplinary work underscores the need for transitional and transformative justice mechanisms in conflicted democracies to address protracted conflict (focusing on their internal dimensions) and social upheaval. India serves as a case in point, exemplified by ongoing and recent conflicts in Jammu and Kashmir and the Punjab and episodic social upheavals in Gujarat (in 2002) and Odisha (in 2008). Victim-survivor narratives of counter-memory, historical records, and legal analyses of formative cases detail the depth and texture of social suffering and illustrate the inadequacy and inhumanity of official responses to events of extraordinary violence. Expanding on methods in justice and accountability and espousing the right to heal, scholars and practitioners raise critical questions regarding the state, civil society, and diverse institutions, and the most elemental of constituents: victim-survivors.

James Baldwin’s writing, his persona, as well as his public speeches, interviews, and discussions are undergoing a renewed reception in the arts, in queer and critical race studies, and in queer of color movements. Directed by Raoul Peck, the film I Am Not Your Negro decisively contributed to the rekindled circulation of Baldwin across the Atlantic. Since 2017, screenings and commentaries on the highly acclaimed film have prompted discussions about the persistent yet variously racialized temporal-spatial formations of Europe and the U.S. Stemming from a roundtable that fol- lowed a screening in Zurich in February 2018, this collective essay wanders between the audio-visual and textual matter of the film and Baldwin’s essay “Stranger in the Village,” which was also adapted into a film-essay directed by Pierre Koralnik, staging Baldwin in the Swiss village of Leukerbad. Privileging Black feminist, post- colonial, and queer of color perspectives, we identify three sites of Baldwin’s trans- atlantic reverberations: situated knowledge, controlling images, and everyday sexual racism. In conclusion, we reflect on the implications of racialized, sexualized politics for today’s Black feminist, queer, and trans of color movements located in continental Europe—especially in Switzerland and France.
In 1999, a generation of students at UC Berkeley who mobilized under the name of the twLF, fought to save the Ethnic Studies Department from facing severe budget cuts. As a result, the University instituted the Center for Race and Gender (CRG), a research center that encompasses work on race and gender across disciplines and deeply connects to local, national, and transnational communities of color and of struggle. Later, feminists fought for and the University established the program that evolved to become what is now the Department of Gender and Women's Studies. That Department is dedicated to intersectional and transnational teaching and research that understands gender and sex-uality as formed inseparably with critiques of colonialism and coloniality, racism, capitalism , speciesism, and other relations of power.

This article engages with right-wing women's and queers' discourses, practices and strategies in respect to feminism. It address how they construct themselves, their others, and the future. Contrary to the common sense notion that women and queers in the right are simply alienated, here we find them carving out a space for themselves that is much more complex. The article discusses Ann Coulter, Milos Yiannopoulos, Kamlabehn, Shaina Nana Chudasama, and more.
