Anuradha Ghandy Edito Da Movimento Femminista Proletario Rivoluzionario
Tendenze filosofiche nel Movimento Femminista Anuradha Ghandy Edito da Movimento Femminista Proletario Rivoluzionario Dicembre 2018 [email protected] SOMMARIO Prefazione Introduzione Visione sul movimento delle donne in occidente Il Femminismo liberale Critica Il Femminismo radicale Sesso-genere e patriarcato Sessualità: eterosessualità e lesbismo Critica Anarco-Femminismo L’Eco-Femminismo Il Femminismo socialista Strategia Femminista-Socialista per la liberazione delle donne Critica Post-Modernismo e Femminismo Per riassumere PREFAZIONE “ … Ma Anuradha era differente...” Arundathy Roy Questo è quello che tutti quelli che conoscevano Anuradha Ghandy dicono. Questo è ciò che quasi tutti la cui vita è stata da lei toccata pensano. È morta in un ospedale di Mumbai la mattina del 12 aprile 2008, di malaria. Probabilmente l’aveva contratta nella giungla in Jharkhand, dove con duceva lezioni di studio a un gruppo di donne Adivasi. In questa nostra grande democrazia, Anuradha Ghandy era conosciuta come una “terrorista maoista”, suscettibile di essere arrestata o, più probabilmente, sparata in un falso “incontro”, come lo sono stati centinaia di suoi compagni. Quando questa terrorista ha avuto la febbre alta e si è recata in ospedale per sottoporsi al test del sangue, ha lasciato un nome e numero di telefono falsi al dotto- re che la stava curando. Quindi non riuscì a raggiungerla per dirle che i test mostrarono che lei aveva la malaria falciparum potenzial- mente fatale. Gli organi di Anuradha cominciarono a disfarsi, uno per uno. Quando fu ricoverata all’ospedale l’11 aprile, era troppo tardi. E così, in questo modo del tutto inutile, l’abbiamo persa. Aveva 54 anni quando morì e aveva passato più di 30 anni della sua vita, la maggior parte di essi in clandestinità, come una rivolu- zionaria di professione. -

Ranikhet: Permanent Black, 2020. 371 pages; ISBN: 978-8-178-24555-3 YOGESH UPADHYAY “If trees remain, the mountains remain, and so does the country”1 The Forest Rights Act, 2006, recognised the historical injustice done to forest dwellers in both colonial and independent India in not acknowledging their centrality to the very survival of the forest ecosystem and promised to invest them with forest rights. Promising as the law seemed, my year-long engagement with the Himalayan forest dwellers in 2019 revealed that the recognised injustice continues unabated. Using the case study of the Chipko Movement, this book (The Chipko Movement: A People’s History) attempts to enliven the politics around forest management and suggests historical reasons for the continuing problem and its solution. Given ongoing corporatisation, centralisation and dilution of environmental laws on the one side, and burgeoning ecological disasters on the other, this book can be read as an attempt to bring home the point that the permanent and immanent solution to our ecological and economic crisis lies in giving forest 1 Pathak, S.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS A POLITICAL ECOLOGY OF THE CHIPKO MOVEMENT The Indian Chipko movement is analyzed as a case study employing a geographically-informed political ecology approach. Political ecology as a framework for the study of environmental movements provides insight into the complex issues surrounding the structure of Indian society, with particular attention to its ecological and political dimensions. This framework, with its focus on social structure and ecology, is distinct from the more “traditional” approaches to the study of social movements, which tend to essentialize their purpose and membership, often by focusing on a single dimension of the movement and its context. Using Chipko as a case-study, the author demonstrates how a geographical approach to political ecology avoids some of this essentialization by encouraging a holistic analysis of environmental movements that is characterized by a “bottom-up” analysis, grounded at the local level, which also considers the wider context of the movement’s growth by synthesizing socio-political and ecological analyses. -

Equality: Valuing Women at the Workplace
IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668 PP 70-76 www.iosrjournals.org (En)Gender(ing) Equality: Valuing Women at the Workplace Preeti Shirodkar I. INTRODUCTION The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings. Albert Schweitzer The twentieth century has no doubt seen a great deal of changes, including a larger number of women entering the workplace, in varied professions and rising to positions of power. And yet, this is hardly a cause to celebrate, especially in the India context, if one were to examine the figures that expose this celebration of women power as prematurely celebratory and therefore misplaced. If at all, it can be considered as a step in the right direction, even if it is basically a very small step at that. Although we would like to believe that a large number of women are working today, an article entitled „Why Indian Women Leave the Workforce‟ published in Forbes states “women make up 24% of the workforce in India, which boasts of one of the largest working populations in the world. Only five percent of these reach the top layer, compared to a global average of 20%.” So also, according to the International Labour Organisation‟s Global Employment Trends 2013 Report, “out of the 131 countries with available data, India ranks 11th from the bottom in labour force participation.” Ironically of these it was estimated in 2009-2010 that 26.1% of these were rural workers and only 13.8% were urban workers. -

At that time, there were extremely draconian laws in place, and the onerous task of organizing was so fraught with risk that it was only undertaken by committed political activists. The first national trade union—the All-India Gandhian framework. The Communists were Trade Union Congress (AITUC)—was established also a formidable rival in this state.

So much happened in terms of con- testing approaches and divergent paths to socialism and communism that we are yet to fully appreciate the richness, intensity and complexity of the time. In particular, what is called the Soviet revolutionary avant garde (DzigaVertov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, Boris Arvatov) was extremely active during the 1920s.
