Abstract
El lesbofeminismo es un movimiento social de origen latinoamericano que
se nutre de la teoría y praxis del feminismo radical y el feminismo lésbico, y lo
contextualiza a la realidad de la región a partir de un análisis de las formas
particulares en las que operan el patriarcado, la heterosexualidad obligatoria, el
racismo, la colonialidad y la geopolítica en ella. Las investigaciones sobre él son
escasas y todas ellas son realizadas en otros países de América Latina. En el
caso peruano, si bien hay una historia documentada de agrupaciones de
lesbianas feministas y su accionar político a través del tiempo, no hay una
distinción más precisa entre estas y las lesbofeministas. Esta investigación
busca matizar esta diferencia y analizar la construcción del movimiento
lesbofeminista en el país. Con ese objetivo, se exploran los principales debates
teóricos sobre los cuales se fundamentan sus propuestas políticas y se analizan
cuáles son los elementos extraídos para la elaboración de un framing que opera
en el contexto local. Del mismo modo, se exploran qué otras circunstancias socio
políticas particulares, como el debate sobre la ideología de género, contribuyen
a formarlo.
Lesbofeminismo is a social movement originated in Latin America, whose theory and praxis can be traced back to radical feminism and lesbian feminism. These are contextualized to the region’s reality through an analysis of the particular ways in which patriarchy, mandatory heterosexuality, racism, colonialism and geopolitics operate there. Previous studies about this movement are scarce, and all of them were carried out in other countries of Latin America. In Perú, there is a documented history of lesbian feminists’ aggrupations and their political actions through time, although there is not a more precise distinction between them and lesbofeministas. This study aims to determine that difference, and analyse the construction of the lesbofeminista movement in Perú. The main theoretical debates, which are the foundation of its political proposals, will be explored, and the extracted elements used for its framing’s elaboration in the local context will be analysed. Other socio-political circumstances, like the debate about “Gender Ideology”, that contribute to this elaboration will also be explored.
