Rita Segato's "disobedient" and feminist speech at the 2019 Book Fair

That's why I say, among other things, that a women's policy, for a variety of reasons, can not be principled, but pragmatic and able to improvise, directed to life here and now, towards its continuity and splendor despite everything or, as they say, against all odds. Therefore, and for that, always fueled by what I have called an "ethics of dissatisfaction", a framework of all good politics, an impulse opposed to an ethics of conformity. An ethic for which it is more important to be good than to act well. It therefore becomes necessary to be pluralist before becoming a feminist. to have a radically plural world as a historical goal. An objective that can not be achieved neither by patriarchy nor by the historical project of things, which is that of capitalist accumulation, always in tension with the historical project of links, that of common roots. Nor can one validate, for the purpose of a world in the plural, dogmatic monotheisms, none of them. Because, for capitalist, capitalist and fundamentalist monotheisms, there is one truth, one form of good, one god, one form of future, one justice. They are thus monopolies governed by an exclusive and exclusive logic. Our logic, the logic that has allowed us to survive so many centuries of slaughter on our continent, is not a monological logic, monopolistic, governed by the neurosis of coherence and control, the monotheistic neurosis and white Europeans. Our logic is tragic, in the sense that it can coexist with inconsistency, with incompatible truths, with the equation a and non-a, opposite and true at the same time and at the same time. And so, always, always, endowed with the vital intensity of disobedience. A par-coherent logic to preserve life, ensure continuity and improve the well-being of more people, to maintain the open horizon of history without a predetermined destination, to keep time moving.
