Call for Papers Volume 9 (2025): "Does work still matter? Labour transformations, organisational experiences and feminist resistance under neoliberalism

2024-03-24

In the context of the hegemony of financialised capitalism at the global level, based on the exploitation of accelerated technological development and the plundering of territories and subordinate populations, labour markets - as well as the forms, meanings and conflicts that shape the so-called "world of work" today - present new features. In Argentina, the persistence of gaps and segmentations exposes the structural nature of labour inequality, in which gender is an unavoidable dimension. At the same time, flexibility, automation, individualisation and the implementation of new control mechanisms are consolidated as central features of contemporary work, and have an impact on workers' regulations, experiences, meanings, forms of organisation and collective action. From the theoretical multiplicity of feminisms, in this dossier we aspire to question, rethink and debate the transformations of labour and the ways in which workers exercise collective power in the face of the imperative of capitalist accumulation.

Coordination of the Dossier: Research group led by Ana Elisa Arriaga and Leticia Medina.

Closing date for Volume 9 Dossier Call for Papers: 1 October, 2025

Current Issue

Vol. 8 No. 1 (2024): Feminisms and sexual dissidence in the combat zone: actions and reactions to the right-wing extremism

and This is a year of great upheaval for Argentina, but not only for those of us who live within the state border. The effects of the anti-democratic neo-liberal ultra-right have been shaking up political and ideological horizons all over the world. Proclamations and political programmes that, after arduous struggles and fights, we thought were buried, or at least publicly sanctioned for violating fundamental human rights, reappear in cruel and aggravated formats in the legitimacy of terror. How do feminisms and sexual dissidences act creatively and effectively in this scenario? How do we react and resist at the same time? When everything seems to be called into question, what principles and struggles do we hold on to, what areas of struggle do we prioritise, or do we go for everything and everyone in the revitalisation of democracy, the sense of the public and the central value of the commons? In this issue of transition, from an annual to a biannual magazine, the Editorial Team of Polémicas Feministas invites you to share your reflections in order to imagine and create a new egalitarian, creative, just and loving present with the usual ingredient: the value and power of thinking, doing and feeling collectively.
