| Sumario: | The work explores the initial trajectories of the Argentine feminist network linked to the right to abortion from a situated perspective. In the first part, certain critical knots are identified that put into tension the most recurrent modalities through which feminist genealogical narratives have been constructed, primarily grounded in the metaphor of waves. Building upon these debates, the notion of networks (or "tramas" in Spanish) is reclaimed, emphasizing the centrality of territorial dimensions in the constitution of the political experiences of feminisms and in the narratives of their trajectories. Thus, the existence of a metropolitan narrative, which has become hegemonic, is observed to cut across research focused on activism related to the right to abortion in Argentina.
In the second part, the work reconstructs and narrates the journey of women's and feminist movements associated with the demand for the right to abortion in the province of Mendoza, which exhibits a unique dynamic due to the tensions that permeate this debate in a society with significant conservative consensus. The itineraries delve into the experiences of feminist movements in Mendoza from the democratic transition in 1983 to the emergence of the National Campaign for Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion in 2005. Employing an exploratory and situated approach, the work identifies certain events that encapsulate the tensions and knots of the abortion debate within the feminist framework during this initial period, highlighting two main moments: the constitution of abortion as a social problem (1983-2000) and the formation of the demand as a right (2001-2005). |
