“…In a country like Brazil, where an alarmingly large number of cisgender women and trans and gender-diverse individuals is murdered each year, it is clear that gender remains a useful category for historical analysis (Scott, 1986). Nevertheless, as previously noted by Davis (1981) and Gonzalez (1984), failing to account for intersectionality can impose significant limitations on both academic analysis and activist efforts. As exemplified by the #EleNão movement, the absence of an intersectional lens prevented a comprehensive representation of women's experiences at diverse intersections, one that could serve as a reminder of the crucial role that the consideration of multiple dimensions of identity-difference plays in feminist activism.…”

The rise of Jair Bolsonaro to power in 2018 in Brazil was considered a disruptive event characterized by the insurgence of far-right politics and their use of digital platforms to spread disinformation. This election was also marked by an unusual disparity in voting intentions between men and women for Bolsonaro, leading to the rise of the feminist movement named #EleNão (#NotHim). Despite its efforts, #EleNão was, as it is well known, unable to defeat Bolsonaro. Considering these events, in light of discourse and intersectionality theories, this paper aims to discuss the regimes of truth (Foucault, 1971) regarding the intersection of gender, race, class, and religion (Collins, 2019) in the 2018 runoff. The results show that the mobilization of controlling images (Collins, 2002) of feminism done by the far-right played a crucial role and was reinforced by the left's inability to provide a proposal that could address the needs of a wider public, especially evangelical women. A ascensão de Jair Bolsonaro ao poder em 2018 no Brasil foi considerada um evento disruptivo caracterizado pela insurgência de movimentos de extrema-direita e pelo uso de plataformas digitais para disseminar desinformação no país. Essa eleição também foi marcada por uma disparidade incomum nas intenções de voto entre homens e mulheres para Bolsonaro, levando ao surgimento do movimento feminista chamado #EleNão. Apesar dos esforços, é sabido que #EleNão não conseguiu derrotar Bolsonaro. Considerando esses acontecimentos, à luz das teorias do discurso e da interseccionalidade, este trabalho visa discutir os regimes de verdade (Foucault, 1971) em relação à interseção de gênero, raça, classe e religião (Collins, 2019) no segundo turno de 2018. Os resultados mostram que a mobilização de imagens de controle (Collins, 2002) do feminismo feita pela extrema-direita desempenhou um papel crucial e foi reforçada pela incapacidade da esquerda em apresentar uma proposta que pudesse acolher as necessidades de um público mais amplo, especialmente as mulheres evangélicas periféricas.

“…Abolitionist philosopher-activist Angela Davis has long pointed to the inextricable connections between race, class, and gender (Davis, 1983) and has recently talked about the lasting oppression of "racial capitalism, heteropatriarchy, internationalism, and transphobia" (Davis et al, 2022). Feminist scholar-activist bell hooks expressed a similarly intersectional approach in her critique of "white supremacist capitalist [hetero]patriarchy" (hooks, 2014), and Indigenous studies scholars such as Maile Arvin, Eve Tuck, and Angie Morrill show that no analysis of the heteropatriarchy will be complete without also critically interrogating settler colonialism (Arvin et al, 2013).…”

AI Empire: Unraveling the interlocking systems of oppression in generative AI's global order

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to captivate the collective imagination through the latest generation of generative AI models such as DALL-E and ChatGPT, the dehumanizing and harmful features of the technology industry that have plagued it since its inception only seem to deepen and intensify. Far from a “glitch” or unintentional error, these endemic issues are a function of the interlocking systems of oppression upon which AI is built. Using the analytical framework of “Empire,” this paper demonstrates that we live not simply in the “age of AI” but in the age of AI Empire. Specifically, we show that this networked and distributed global order is rooted in heteropatriarchy, racial capitalism, white supremacy, and coloniality and perpetuates its influence through the mechanisms of extractivism, automation, essentialism, surveillance, and containment. Therefore, we argue that any attempt at reforming AI from within the same interlocking oppressive systems that created it is doomed to failure and, moreover, risks exacerbating existing harm. Instead, to advance justice, we must radically transform not just the technology itself, but our ideas about it, and develop it from the bottom up, from the perspectives of those who stand the most risk of being harmed.

“…25 As we make clear in our discussion of slavery, liberal feminist movements in the USA failed to recognise the historic relationship between birth control and involuntary sterilisation for Black women. 26 Reproductive justice in the USA today is further bound up in the realms of pervasive structural discrimination and inequity, e.g. inferior maternal health care for Black women and higher infant and maternal mortality, which makes it far less safe to have children.…”

Violations of the heart: Parental harm in war and oppression

This article examines ‘parental harm’ – a harm that occurs when a parent loses or faces the threat of losing a child. We contend that the manipulation and severing of relationships between parents and children has played a central role in war and oppression across historical contexts. Parental harm has long-term and pervasive effects and results in complex legacies for carers and their communities. Despite its grave impact, there is little research within International Relations into parental harm and understanding of its effects. We conceptualise parental harm through two frames – the ‘harm of separation’ and ‘harm to the ability to parent’ – and theorise gendered dimensions of how it is perpetuated and experienced. As such, we advance feminist understandings of family as a gendered institution that shapes the conduct of war and institutionalises racialised oppression. Our conception of parental harm offers novel insights into the relationship between intimate relations, the family, and state power and practices. We illustrate our conceptual arguments through two examples: the control and manipulation of family in antebellum slavery in the United States and the targeting of Tamil children in disappearances in Sri Lanka. These examples demonstrate the pervasiveness of parental harm across contexts and forms of violence.
