| Sumario: | This essay proposes a reading of the VIII of Benjamin's Theses on history "using" it, in the sense that Benjamin himself maintained that a materialist presentation of history must make use of fragments of the past to radically question the present, and resist oppression. This thesis is compared to the words of the Zapatista women, spoken on the occasion of the inauguration of the Second International Meeting of Fighting Women, to argue that the "State of exception" that, as Benjamin stated, was the rule, continues to be so today specifically (although not exclusively) for women and other feminized bodies, both individual and collective. It is also argued that the fighting tradition of indigenous women produced by a Capitalist Coloniality that is still ongoing, currently shows us the normality of the contemporary "state of exception". Finally, women's fights are proposed to also be criticism exercises and resistance and inventiveness practices, for a justice “to-come”. |
