description Three notes for an analysis that situate women and diversities based on the intersection of territories and conditions. It is based on this intersection that women and diversities dispute the constructions of subalternity and omissions. This article is partially based on several reflections shared during the Panel “Arraigo y Equidad Espacial”, organized by the Institute Patria of Rosario in Argentina, the 28th of April 2020. It addresses, from a plural and feminist view, the intersection of women and diversities and the critical emerging issues that impact their lives in the cities. The pandemic is growing fast in the cities, as a result of overlapping powers, such as neoliberalism, patriarchy, xenophobia, racism and colonialism. This forms an analytical contribution from the discipline of architecture and urbanism, in the frame of the predatory production of the environment and spatial injustices, aiming to search for concepts based on evidence of urban inequalities. It’s an analysis related to the field of knowledge on the right to the city intersected with feminism, which takes into account the omission of women and diversities in the way they inhabit and experience social relations in the public space. The pandemic is expressed with more virulence in the cities and exacerbates inequalities. For example, during the pandemic women suffer the burden of care and the use of time, and sexual division of labour has deepened gender biases. Moreover, the pandemic verify that women face higher work pressure and time constraints in their daily life. At the same time, violence and the number of femicides increased, in both the public and private sphere. These issues are a result of the pandemic, that goes beyond the conditions of structuring inequalities. The bodies of women and diversities’ experience these dimensions in different territorial dimensions, in which they mediate in their constructions of diverse power relations and therefore in a permanent dispute and resistance.

Tres notas para un análisis que busca situar a las mujeres y diversidades en la intersección de los territorios desde los cuales disputan las construcciones de subalternidades y omisiones. Este artículo inédito se basa en parte en algunas de las reflexiones compartidas en el panel “Arraigo y Equidad Espacial”, organizado desde el Instituto Patria de Rosario, Argentina, el 28 de abril de 2020. Aborda, desde la construcción del pensamiento feminista plural y diverso, la intersección mujeres y diversidades y los temas emergentes más críticos para la vida de las mujeres en las ciudades en donde crece la pandemia y como resultado de poderes imbricados del neoliberalismo, el patriarcado xenófobo, racista y colonialista. Un aporte analítico desde la especificidad disciplinar de la arquitectura y el urbanismo, en la producción predatoria del ambiente y las injusticias espaciales, para ello las búsquedas conceptuales y la reflexión a partir de evidencias desde el marco analítico de las desigualdades urbanas. Para ello se interseccionan desde el feminismo los desarrollos conceptuales acerca del derecho a la ciudad dando cuenta de la omisión de las mujeres y diversidades en las formas de habitar y vivenciar las relaciones sociales en el espacio. La pandemia agudizó las desigualdades en las ciudades en las cuales se expresa con mayor virulencia, donde las mujeres están encerradas con los violentos y sufren el agobio del cuidado. El uso del tiempo y la división sexual del trabajo profundizan los sesgos de géneros en la epidemia del Covid-19, que evidencia más presión de tareas de cuidado, mayores asimetrías del uso del tiempo de mujeres en relación a los varones, el incremento de las violencias y de femicidios en los espacios privados y públicos. Temas que la pandemia impacta más allá de sus condiciones de estructurantes de las desigualdades, y que los cuerpos de mujeres y diversidades experimentan en distintas dimensiones territoriales, en las cuales median en sus construcciones diversas relaciones de poder y por ello en permanente disputas y resistencias.
