It is a biannual, multidisciplinary publication of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Santiago, Chile, which originated in 2004 within the History Department of USACH. Beginning in 2015, it entered a second phase under the auspices of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Santiago, becoming a platform for disseminating studies focused on Chile and Latin America that address issues of social, political, historical, and cultural interest. Following a process of internal reflection and evaluation, as well as an assessment of the local and regional context, the journal decided to shift its objectives and scope toward promoting and disseminating knowledge production in the field of Gender Studies and its intersections with other critical fields within the social sciences and humanities. In this context, starting in the second half of 2025 (Volume 15, No. 27), Palimpsesto will only publish works related to this field of study, will maintain its status as a semi-annual, open-access journal, and its articles will continue to undergo double-blind peer review. It will accept submissions in Spanish and English.

Presentation: Feminisms, Utopias, and Politics of the Commons: Producing, Sustaining, and Contesting the Commons for the Reproduction of Life
This text introduces the special issue "Feminisms, Utopias, and Politics of the Commons" by asking a central question: who sustains life when the material, institutional, and communal conditions that make it possible are increasingly threatened? In a Latin American context shaped by neoliberal expansion, the crisis of care, and multiple forms of extractivism and violence, the reflection on the commons gains renewed urgency. Drawing on feminist economics, community feminism, and decolonial perspectives, the text proposes to understand the commons not as a preexisting object but as a political principle constructed through collective practices of cooperation, care, and the production of life. Far from offering an abstract definition, the dossier shows how the commons are produced, sustained, and contested in situated experiences: mutual care among older women, support networks in rural contexts, agroecological pedagogies, psychosocial accompaniment with Mapuche Lafkenche women leaders, and memory practices that resist forgetting. A joint reading of the articles reveals that the commons are neither a starting point nor a normative horizon but a permanent construction that gains density precisely where life is most vulnerable. Nevertheless, the dossier maintains an indispensable critical tension: recognizing the political potential of these experiences does not imply romanticizing communities or naturalizing the fact that women once again disproportionately shoulder the work of sustaining life. Instead, it calls for strengthening articulations among social organizations, public institutions, universities, and communities in order to collectively redistribute the responsibilities essential for the reproduction of life, reminding us that no life is sustained in solitude.

Book review: Han, B. C. (2025). Speaking About God: A Dialogue with Simone Weil. Paidós.
Byung-Chul Han tackles Simone Weil’s thought with a double dose of audacity to discuss God in the current context. The review highlights how mainstream philosophy has marginalised the spiritual dimension and how the growing digital takeover is overwhelming our attention, flattening it and preventing human beings from opening themselves up to deep listening. Han revisits the major Weilian concepts: attention as a concavity opposed to idolatry; beauty and misery as paths to the supernatural; the contrast between gravity and grace; and decreation as a rooting in absence. Attention is the essence of prayer, and its current crisis—accelerated by digitalisation and the total availability of reality—forms part of the structural causes of the absence of God. In the face of neoliberal spirituality, which instrumentalises the soul for the sake of performance, we find in Weil a reference to a purifying atheism that recognises in every form of love an implicit love of God. Furthermore, and unlike both servile and artificial intelligence, she urges us towards a careful reading of reality, the only means capable of generating something truly new.

La Memoria de las Mujeres: Revisión conceptual sobre identidades colectivas, género y territorio en contexto de violencia política
Este artículo explora la relación entre memoria colectiva, identidad social, género y territorio en contextos de violencia política, destacando la persistente marginalización de la memoria de mujeres en los relatos oficiales. El problema de investigación se centra en comprender cómo las memorias de mujeres, situadas e interseccionales, configuran identidades colectivas y disputan narrativas hegemónicas del pasado. La metodología utilizada se sustenta en una revisión conceptual sistemática con criterio de selección bibliográfica intencionada. Las interrogantes adoptan una perspectiva construccionista y fenomenológica para analizar; la articulación entre recordar, narrar y producir subjetividades, se complementan con epistemologías feministas latinoamericanas y enfoques interseccionales que profundizan el análisis y dan apertura a nuevas miradas. Los resultados muestran que la memoria opera como una práctica social y política situada que posibilita reconstruir agencia, resistir al negacionismo y reinscribir experiencias en el territorio. Asimismo, se evidencia que las memorias de mujeres actúan como contra-memorias que desafían el orden patriarcal, habilitando identidades de resistencia compartidas, lo que permitiría hablar de memorias interseccionales.

A networked rurality: social support and its community-based practices
This study, conducted in Mendoza (Argentina), examines the dynamics of community social support networks as a key factor for strengthening communities and community health. It explores rural features shaping the networked nature of support, drawing on analyses of community integration and participation and comparing rural and urban contexts. Using the Perceived Community Social Support Questionnaire and field notes, and from a socio-critical perspective, the study adopts the notion of community entramado to describe diverse, tension-laden forms of reciprocity.

Mutual Care Among Older Women: Visual Creation and Community Practices at a Mothers' Center in Valparaíso, Chile
Feminized aging places many older women in precarious situations and loneliness. From a feminist and participatory approach, through semi-structured group interviews and the collective creation of a cyanotype, this study explores the meanings that a group of older women in Valparaíso (Chile) attribute to their daily practices of mutual care. Content analysis identified three dimensions of this: material, affective, and symbolic. The conclusion is that mutual care articulates concrete actions, emotional bonds, and shared meanings; it generates support networks to address inequalities and constitutes a form of dignifying and empowering collective action offering alternatives to the hegemonic model of care.

Remembering to (Re)Imagine: (Pre)Occupations of Ethical and Methodological Practice for Cultivating Dignity
Six years after the social uprising in Chile and in dialogue with the systematization of the Brazilian collective project OCUPAS, this article systematizes memories and learnings about the transformations of the social and what we define as the cultivation of practices of dignity in the face of neoliberal devastation. Drawing from the Chilean context, where the neoliberal university and the “necrophagous market of the social” prioritize logics of competition, precarization, and structural oblivion, rendering invisible the knowledge emerging from territorial and community practices, the text proposes the exercise of remembering as an ethical imperative in order not to succumb to horror and dispossession. Through “(con)fabulations” — narratives and everyday complicities that reinvigorate collective memory — communities can resist violence and isolation. The 2019 uprising is analyzed not as an event with a concrete end, but as the manifestation of a transgenerational desire to live with dignity, connected to previous struggles for life and territory. Finally, the article reflects on how grassroots territorial organizations, including those engaged in the implementation of social projects, sustain common life through gestures of care, tenderness, and companionship, reinventing forms of encounter despite the landscape of exhaustion and precarization of earlier forms of militancy and activism. It concludes by stressing the need to strengthen micro-histories and experiential learnings as a way of revitalizing political imagination and sustaining the desire for revolt.

Telework, Gender, and Inequality: A Critical Perspective from the Care Crisis and Spatial Justice in Chile
The article critically analyzes teleworking in Chile as a work-life balance policy within the framework of Laws 21,220 and 21,645. From a feminist and territorial perspective, it argues that this modality does not guarantee a balance between work, family, and personal life, but rather deepens the care crisis, reinforces women's double shift, and widens the territorial inequalities associated with the digital divide. It also shows how gendered organizational cultures turn work-life balance into an urban privilege. It concludes that only when linked to a national care system can teleworking contribute to social and gender justice.

Embodied Pedagogies: the construction of feminist knowledge in agroecological production in southeastern Buenos Aires, Argentina
This research explores the intersection of feminist pedagogies, the category of body-territory, and agroecological practices in southeastern Buenos Aires, Argentina. By analyzing the university outreach project “Cocinas Soberanas” (Sovereign Kitchens) from the National University of Mar del Plata, the study investigates the knowledge-building processes emerging from the encounter between academia and the territory. A territorialized qualitative methodology with a narrative-interpretative approach was employed, adopting a critical, decolonial, and gender perspective. The findings demonstrate that the leading role of women producers transforms the educational event, shifting traditional outreach toward a Embodied Pedagogies. This praxis revalues sensory, relational, and culinary knowledges as political and emancipatory, leaving a tangible “trace” that tensions the dichotomy between body and territory. The study concludes that agroecology, when lived through presence and affect, constitutes a tool of resistance against cisheteronormativity and extractivism.

From the personal archive to the resistance archive: the Magdalena Navarrete collection of Digital Archive Londres 38.
This article analyzes the transition of the Magdalena Navarrete collection, from the Londres 38 Digital Archive, from a personal archive into an archive of resistance. This process is examined through two documentary acts: first, when her son was detained and Magdalena chose to safeguard the documents as an act of emotional resistance driven by the affective bond with her son and the need to affirm existence amidst disappearance; and second, the donation and archival processing carried out by Leslie Araneda at the house of memory's digital archive. Based on the analysis of the collection's documents, this study allows us to understand how an archive born of maternal filiation is transformed into a political tool for resistance and the preservation of historical memory.

“Community psychosocial accompaniment, community feminisms, and the production of the commons among Mapuche Lafkenche women.”
This article analyzes the meanings attributed to collaborative community-based psychosocial accompaniment by Mapuche Lafkenche women leaders and the research team, based on an action-research process conducted in Budi, Toltén, and Tirúa, in southern Chile. Drawing on critical community psychology, community feminisms, and decolonial thought, the study examines accompaniment not as a technical intervention strategy, but as a political practice of care, leadership strengthening, intergenerational transmission, and commons-making. Findings show that accompaniment contributes to sustaining community life, strengthening networks of trust, and expanding Indigenous women’s capacity for political action, thus constituting a situated feminist practice and a form of collective production of the commons.

Desafíos para pensar la autonomía en clave común: una lectura desde la filosofía spinoziana.
Este texto parte de la inquitud por concebir un programa de lo común como vía de transformación en nuestra actualidad. Dados los contextos de profundización del modelo neoliberal cuyas formas de gubernamentalidad operan una captura y mercantilización de lo común ¿es posible concebir la producción de reacciones autónomas en clave de lo común? Para ello se explora la relación entre la autonomía y lo común, partiendo de una comprensión de lo común fundamentada en el campo de la filosofía spinoziana, en el entendido de que esta comprensión realiza grandes aportes para la articulación con sentidos autonomistas. El texto pretende contribuir al debate sobre la autonomía en procesos políticos contemporáneos que se articulan en torno a esta cuestión.

Sites and Memory Transmissions: Feminist Articulations, Past and Present, Remembering Political and Patriarchal Violence in Chile
This paper analyzes feminist memory practices in Chile that recall political and patriarchal violence from both the past and present. Despite women’s central role in resisting the civic-military dictatorship (1973-1990), their political agency remains largely erased from official memory. Through an examination of the material and symbolic expressions of three sites of memory — cueca sola, arpilleras, and monuments — this study explores memory transmission practices that are performed in the present.

¿Quién le teme al cuidado? Fricciones y diálogos entre los estudios sociales en discapacidad y los estudios sociales del cuidado
Social studies of disability and social studies of care have pursued their research in parallel, although they overlap at various points. This article aims to reconstruct and analyze the debates surrounding care received and care provided in both fields of research. A bibliographical and theoretical review of national and international organizations will be conducted. The results indicate tensions surrounding autonomy and women with disabilities as subjects of feminism, and a rapprochement regarding the recognition of the vulnerabilities and interdependencies that constitute human relationships.

Four minutes to save bubblegum pop: Liturgy of bubble gum and the Ten Commandments of political enjoyment
This article advocates for Bubblegum Pop as an epistemic-political stance, not just as a musical genre. In opposition to academic perspectives that dismiss the superficial, it reclaims pop pleasure as a feminist and queer tool of resistance. From an interdisciplinary perspective—feminist theory, affect studies, and queer approaches—it proposes a manifesto of ten commandments for a sticky politics of pleasure. The practices of Madonna, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, and Lady Gaga are analyzed, as they have used superficiality and aesthetic excess to challenge norms of gender, sexuality, and cultural hierarchies. Bubblegum Pop is presented as a utopian and affective space for the affirmation of marginalized subjectivities. With a performative methodology based on irony, exaggeration, and affectivity, the boundaries between the trivial and the serious are questioned. It is argued that its apparent lightness can operate as a political and revolutionary strategy.

The Salpêtrière as a space of pornoscientific experimentation
This theoretical discussion article examines Charcot's work at the Salpêtrière, focusing on the problem of the pornification (McNair, 2002) of the hysteric woman through medical photography. The question points to how this model constructed a sexual imaginary of the patient, influenced by the pornography of the period. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, the text argues that, protected by medical and artistic institutions, the case allowed an emblematic pornoscientific experimentation (Radrigán, 2025), incorporating resources and visual codes from porn. As a result, the text provides keys to reflect on the tensions between the pornographic and the medical, contributing to the fields of aesthetics and gender studies.

An intersectional look at the relationship between families and disability: Narratives from activist experiences
This study examines the tensions in the care practices of people with disabilities in their families and the complexities that arise at the intersection of disability and various axes of inequality. Using the theory of Situated Knowledge, we conducted a collaborative study of co-constructed Life Narratives about the experiences of seven disability activists in Chile. A thematic analysis was conducted to reconstruct the tensions of family actions from an intersectional intracategorical perspective (McCall, 2005), which emphasizes various axes of oppression within the category of “disability,” such as socioeconomic status, gender, and sexuality. Three dimensions emerge regarding the relationship between families and disability: families are held socially responsible, tensions between overprotection and autonomy, and ableism in the pursuit of independence.

Autistic Women's Experiences in the Chilean Health System During Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Early Parenting
Motherhood in autistic women has been scarcely studied, largely due to prejudices and stigmas that undermine its legitimacy. This study used phenomenological interviews to analyze the experiences of 12 women in Chile, focusing on their perceptions of the health system during pregnancy and the first two years of parenting. Multiple barriers were identified, including inadequate treatment, violence, lack of support, unfriendly environments, discrimination, and the absence of reasonable accommodations. Isolated positive experiences were also reported. Mothers engaged in masking their autism and normalized inappropriate practices. There is an urgent need to train health teams, develop technical guidelines, and ensure compliance with existing regulations.

Gender-based violence and intersectional inequalities: Women with disabilities within the family and social structures in Chile.
This article analyzes the multiple forms of violence faced by women with disabilities in Chile, through a critical review of secondary sources and an analysis of data from the IV National Survey on Violence Against Women (2020) and the III National Disability Study (2022). The findings show that these women experience higher, more persistent, and more complex levels of violence. The article examines the structural factors that sustain their exclusion in various spheres, such as home, work, and education. It concludes that violence against women with disabilities is a manifestation of interconnected oppressions -patriarchy, ableism, and neoliberalism- that demands comprehensive and transformative responses.Keywords: Disability, gender, intersectionality, violence, and inequality.

Exercising motherhood and fatherhood among persons with disabilities: An analysis from the perspective of education
This study examines motherhood and fatherhood among people with disabilities in Chile, focusing on educational level as the main axis of analysis. Using a mixed-method approach, the association between educational level and the condition of being a mother or father with a disability was characterized and evaluated, the assessment of access to information and training on sexual and reproductive health was described, and parental experiences in the school context were explored. The results indicate that the internet is the main source of information on sexual and reproductive health. Physical, communication, and attitudinal barriers were also identified that limit access to information and participation in the school life of children, highlighting shortcomings in support for parenting.

Notions of Care in Institutions for People with Disabilities: The Roles of Professionals and Families
The article analyzes eight institutions for people with disabilities located in the northern region of Greater Buenos Aires (Argentina), which offer services and activities in various fields. The research was based on interviews with professionals working in these institutions and a review of their institutional websites. It is observed that the notion of care is not explicitly part of the institutional functions, but rather emerges as a tacit or latent component of the professionals’ work. However, care assumes a prominent role in interactions with the families of people with disabilities, where women/mothers are recognized as the primary caregivers.

Truncated transitions to adulthood. Experiences from young adults with intellectual disability and their families
The transition to adulthood of people with intellectual disabilities is a process better understood in its complexity using a relational perspective that involves the family, without minimising the voice of the young people themselves in their future planning. This position not only allows us to understand a process of projection into the future subject to collective decisions of the family, but also contributes to understanding that adulthood does not end or exhaust itself with the normative life course pillars. Through a relational perspective, this paper proposes to understand the ideas about adulthood from young people with intellectual disabilities in a family context and from the negotiations carried out on how they project their future interdependently.

“I can barely manage myself, how could I possibly care for someone else?”: Women´s with physical disabilities expectations in relation to the ideal of Motherhood
Feminist perspectives have highlighted the inadequacy of equating womanhood with reproductive function and motherhood as an inevitable destiny. However, this equivalence does not hold for disabled women: in contrast to the socially constructed ideal of motherhood, their capacity to reproduce and/or care for others is often questioned. Based on in-depth interviews with cisgender, heterosexual, physically disabled women living in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, this article explores their expectations regarding motherhood. These women describe motherhood as a goal that is difficult to achieve or even to envision, due to their impairments, various fears, lack of economic security, and emotional dimensions, such as perceived risk and selfishness, which shape and regulate their expectations.

When Judicial Protection Excludes: Parenthood, Disability, and Human Rights in Dispute
This article critically analyzes the judicial and institutional practices experienced by parents with intellectual disabilities in Chile, within the framework of legal proceedings related to child custody. Using a qualitative single-case study approach, 171 judicial and intervention program documents were examined, along with six interviews conducted with key stakeholders. The analysis revealed a systematic absence of reasonable accommodations, assessments based on normative models lacking a rights-based perspective, and measures reinforcing discrimination through a punitive approach toward disability. The article concludes that institutional practices reproduce structural exclusions and recommends a shift towards an inclusive paradigm, emphasizing personalized support and intersectoral strategies to ensure the right to family life in conditions of equality and dignity.

From old school to influencers, through confinement and facilitators: Notes for thinking about student subjectivity.
The text establishes a path that suggests an analysis of student subjectivity. It is, by the way, a way of facing education in a broad sense and that has a direct dialogue with the ways in which young people relate to knowledge and formative instances. First, the educational experience that took place during the confinement as a result of Covid-19 is analyzed. From there, and in a second key, the work of Mark Fisher is reviewed to address the unique characteristics of educational institutions in the context of post-disciplinary societies or societies of control. At this point, some aspects of student subjectivity are noted that are related, on the one hand, to a loss of sense of education as a tool for a future project and, on the other hand, to a certain manifestation of discomfort that manifests itself in at least two expressions: depressive hedonia and postlexia. Both phenomena show a contract of meaning with the current moment of capitalism and therefore with its technical communication regime. Finally, the last section deals with the advance of new formative instances proper to the predominance of the digital world. Elian Chali's writings outline some attempts on new forms of subjectivity linked to education and the expectations projected on it.

Documentary Traces of Repression: A Methodological Approach to State Administrative Archives
Based on a documentary survey conducted in the Historical General Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this article proposes a methodological approach for analysing state administrative records produced during Chile's military dictatorship. The objective is to present how this methodology enabled the identification, examination, and connection of documentary traces that contribute to a deeper understanding of the functioning of the repressive system and the strategies used to persecute political opponents, both within the country and abroad.
