O debate do movimento feminista na produção acadêmica do serviço social

Abstract

The feminist movement emerges as a political subject in the 19th century, with claims directed to political rights, education, employment and gender equality. Since its genesis, the movement shows a plurality of theoretical policies and interventional perspectives. We detach the ones linked to Marxist tradition in which women struggle turns into human emancipation, recognizing that women freedom concur with the racist-patriarcal-capitalist system overcoming, and the ones tied to liberal tradition, in which feminism is limited to civil, political and social rights struggle under capitalism. Understanding the debate diversity, we share the main concepts and categories identified as central for contemporaneous feminism: gender, patriarchate, sexual work division and sexual social relations. The review purpose is to understand how Social Work has thematized the feminist movement and understood their struggles. Therefore, was searched in Postgraduate courses (1985-2014) academic production, thesis and dissertations that express the auto-organized feminist movement or the women struggle in mixed movements, aiming to grasp: the social movements theoretical policies approaches and their struggles; the concepts and categories of feminism approached; the organizations and feminist movements limits and challenges evidenced in productions; the militant feminist consciousness understanding; the society projects defended by the organizations and the feminist movements; the relation between feminism and organizations and feminist movements with the Social Work. One of the conclusions exposed in this dissertation is the observation of an incipient theming of this theme by Social Work and the need for a greater feminism central categories incorporation in professional debates, which shows up the need for a bigger production of feminist knowledge investment and interventional actions by the professional related to the themes posted by feminism in different socialoccupational spaces.
