Argentine anthropologist Rita Laura Segato’s Contra-pedagogías de la crueldad, based on the Latin American context, describe how the “nefarious pact of masculinity”, by preserving the hegemony of patriarchy, accustoms the victims of gender-based violence to a brutal everyday experience and makes invisible the structural analogy of racism and sexism. This essay aims to highlight key and topical aspects of Segato’s thought, whose contribution stimulates the creation of practices capable of counteracting the dehumanisation imposed by the “colonial modernity of the West”.

Abstract

Argentine anthropologist Rita Laura Segato’s Contra-pedagogías de la crueldad, based on the Latin American context, describe how the “nefarious pact of masculinity”, by preserving the hegemony of patriarchy, accustoms the victims of gender-based violence to a brutal everyday experience and makes invisible the structural analogy of racism and sexism. This essay aims to highlight key and topical aspects of Segato’s thought, whose contribution stimulates the creation of practices capable of counteracting the dehumanisation imposed by the “colonial modernity of the West”.

Las Contra-pedagogías de la crueldad de la antropóloga argentina Rita Laura Segato, partiendo del contexto latinoamericano, describen las formas en que el “pacto nefasto de la masculinidad”, al preservar la hegemonía del patriarcado, acostumbra a la brutal cotidianidad que marca la experiencia de las víctimas de la violencia de género e invisibiliza la analogía estructural de racismo y sexismo. Este ensayo pretende destacar aspectos clave y de actualidad del pensamiento de Segato, cuya contribución estimula la creación de prácticas capaces de contrarrestar la deshumanización impuesta por la “modernidad colonial de Occidente”.
