Abstract
La obra de Erik O. Wright puede entenderse como una renovación del marxismo sociológico, una tradición que ha mantenido un “matrimonio mal avenido” con el feminismo, por usar la conocida expresión de Hartmann. Este artículo se propone examinar el trabajo de Wright desde una perspectiva feminista. En particular, analiza su reflexión teórica en torno a estos dos problemas: por un lado, la intersección de clase y género en el capitalismo contemporáneo y, por el otro, las vías para la emancipación de las mujeres, prestando especial atención a su idea de una sociedad sin género y a los potenciales efectos de “utopías reales” como los permisos parentales iguales e intransferibles. El objetivo del artículo no es sólo revisar la obra de Wright desde un punto de vista feminista, sino explorar el modo en que su contribución entronca con dilemas y debates del feminismo contemporáneo.
Erik O. Wright’s work can be interpreted as an attempt to renovate sociological Marxism, a tradition that has maintained an ‘unhappy marriage’ with feminism, to use Hartmann’s well-known expression. This paper aims to examine Wright’s work from a feminist perspective. In particular, it discusses Wright’s theoretical reflection on two problems: on the one hand, the intersection of class and gender in contemporary capitalism; and, on the other, the route to women’s emancipation, paying special attention to his idea of a genderlessness society and to the potential effects of ‘real utopias’ such as equal nontransferrable parental leaves. The aim of the article is not only to review Wright’s work from a feminist perspective, but to explore the ways through which his contribution connects with dilemmas and debates of contemporary feminism.
