Feminist (Inter)Subjectivities in Baja California, 2015-2021

In recent years, various social, political, and cultural processes have favored the effervescence of feminism in Mexico. Against this background, the objective of this article is to present a proposal a theoretical and analytical proposal to understand the construction of the political subject of feminism in a particular context. We consider the case of Baja California, in Mexico, due to the role it has played in recent years in shaping the feminist emergence. Through a phenomenological perspective and a qualitative and intersectional methodology, based on the analysis of narratives, the diversity of the feminist movement in Baja California is described. From a case study, we have been able to weave the empirical data with the theoretical proposals to offer new elements to the current discussion regarding the evolution of the feminist movement. Likewise, we show the intersubjectivity complexity that gives rise to the political subject not as a concrete materiality, but as a platform for collective enunciation. In the conclusions we elaborate on feminism as a relational device that looks dialectically on the common and the divergent to maintain its vitality.
