Abstract

Based on an analysis of Marxist categories, I attempt in this article to bring into the domain of visibility the ‘issue of women’, and argue that it must be the guiding thread in the process of identification (or invention) of conditions of possibility for the transformation of the system of practices (and discourses) that aim at human emancipation, understood as overcoming the logic of domination.
