FUCKING AND ABORTING ANYWHERE. Feminist aRtivist politics of AffectAaction

Abstract

This paper analyzes artistic and cultural intervention carried out in 2019 in Córdoba, before the enactment of Act 27610, which legalized the voluntary termination of pregnancies. That action was designed by Colectiva Las Hilando together with Festival El deleite de los cuerpos. We recuperate  that intervention for analysis, as we believe it enacted  one of the ways in which the meanings of abortion associated with the right of pregnant bodies to be autonomous and enjoy circulates. These meanings came to be more and more audible  during the process of parliamentary discussion and expressed views  with regard to others, their death, pain, sadness and guilt. All this contributed to the configuration of a narrative that articulated abortion and desire. We acknowledge that two opposing views still persist the social field  is relationship with  to abortion. The analyzed intervention proposes the aesthetic strategy of circulating affections and affectations to produce commotion and movement. At the same time, it leads us to reflect about  political prosex practice and thought as a tool for broadening vindicated rights. Ours is a situated reflection in this province, where the pressure of Portal de Belén and Opus Dei, with the support of members of the local government, hinder the free exercise of abortion rights.. It is our interest as researchers and feminist activists to contribute to the critical analysis from the stance that we consider to be a key to think about feminist policies, such as aRtivism and space of afectAction proposed by activist groups in this city.
