'Meu Corpo Igual': Black Women, Power, and the Defence of Choice in the Putafeminista Movement in Brazil

我的博士学位将通过对巴西大众女权主义的探索，修改选择女权主义的分析概念，重新思考卖淫与女权主义在全球北方学术研究中的不相容之处。精选女权主义宣称，女性通过她们的行动获得权力，这是巴西女权主义者的关键信条。关注巴西形式的女权主义不仅通过全球南方视角提供了更广泛的选择女权主义的概念化，而且使一个更具包容性的框架能够批判性地接触到巴西充满活力的LGBTQIA+激进主义、种族性奴的殖民遗产以及普遍存在的系统性种族主义，这些种族主义加深了获得医疗保健、教育和创收机会的差距。自20世纪60年代末和第二波女权主义在全球北方开始以来，学者们对女权主义与卖淫的兼容性一直存在分歧。例如，社会学家朱莉娅·奥康奈尔·戴维森和哲学家卡罗尔·佩特曼不能调和卖淫与授权的女权主义行为，并认为这一定是由于缺乏替代选择或胁迫(戴维森：1998；佩特曼：1983)。相比之下，其他学者认识性工作者可以成为自由选择卖淫的积极决策者(爱立信：1980；西蒙斯：2018)。历史上对卖淫的处理探索了这些在不同历史背景下围绕性工作的胁迫、同意和道德恐慌的辩论(Wyers：2017)。布兰切特和席尔瓦研究女权主义意识形态的历史轨迹的工作在引导关于这一运动的新兴学术方面起到了形成作用(布兰切特和席尔瓦：2018)。通过将女权主义的意识形态与更广泛的历史学和概念研究相结合，我将把女权主义关于卖淫的哲学载入史册，将这场运动吸引到更广泛的概念辩论中，并使人们能够修改跨不同学科使用的重要分析工具。全球南方的声音是推动对卖淫和女权主义更具包容性的理解的关键，迄今为止，这些理解主要是在全球北方产生的。

My PhD will rethink the incompatibility of prostitution and feminism embedded in Global Northacademic scholarship by revising the analytical concept of choice feminism through an explorationof Brazilian putafeminismo. Choice feminism declares women are empowered through the activechoices they make, a key tenet for Brazilian putafeministas. A focus on Brazilian forms ofputafeminismo not only offers broader conceptualisations of choice feminism through Global Southperspectives but enables a more inclusive framework that critically engages with Brazil's vibrantLGBTQIA+ activism, colonial legacies of racial sexual slavery, and pervasive systematic racism thatdeepen disparities in access to healthcare, education, and income-generating opportunities.Since the late 1960s and the start of second-wave feminism in the Global North, scholars have beendivided over the compatibility of feminism with prostitution. Sociologist Julia O'Connell Davidsonand philosopher Carole Pateman, for example, cannot reconcile prostitution with empoweredfeminist action and argue it must be due to a lack of alternative options or coercion (Davidson:1998; Pateman: 1983). Contrastingly, other scholars recognise sex workers can be active decisionmakers who freely choose prostitution (Ericsson: 1980; Simmons: 2018). Historiographicaltreatments of prostitution have explored these debates on coercion, consent, and moral panicssurrounding sex work in various historical contexts (Wyers: 2017). Blanchette and Silva's workexamining the historical trajectory of putafeminismo's ideologies has been formative in directingnascent scholarship on the movement (Blanchette and Silva: 2018). By blending the ideologies ofputafeminismo with broader historiographical and conceptual research, I will historiciseputafeminismo's philosophies of prostitution in ways that draws the movement into wider conceptual debates and enables a revision of vital analytical tools used across different disciplines.Global South voices are key to driving more inclusive understandings of prostitution and feminism,which to date have been produced predominantly in the Global North.
