Resumen
Descripción
El presente texto propone abordar el modo en el que la obra de Rousseau, a la vez que representa una postura radicalmente democrática frente a los discursos liberales del contrato, ofrece una de las teorías más conservadoras en lo que atañe a las mujeres. A partir de la relectura de los principales textos de Rousseau a la luz de la teoría feminista contemporánea, se desarrolla un análisis crítico del lugar asignado a las mujeres en su teoría, con especial atención a las descripciones en torno al estado de naturaleza, el momento del contrato, la educación, la distinción público-privado, y las consecuencias políticas que de allí se derivan.
This paper intends to address the way in which Rousseau’s work represents both a radically democratic stand against the contract’s liberal discourses, and one of the most conservative theories in relation to women at the same time. Reading the major texts of Rousseau in the light of contemporary feminist theory, this paper develops a critical analysis of the place assigned to women in his theory, by focusing on descriptions about the state of nature, the contract, education, public-private distinction, and the political consequences that derive from there.
