Publicación From the Subjected Subject to the Vulnerable Subject: An Unfinished Discussion in Contemporary Spanish Feminisms(The University of Chicago Press, 2018) Martínez González, MaríaThis article focuses on the subject of feminism in the specific context of contemporary Spain. This feminist movement took in its first years, the 1970 and 1980, the “woman-housewife-mother” defined by the Franco regime as its subject, as a counterpoint from which to propose both an alternative identity for women and a collective identity for the movement. Starting the end of the 1980s and mainly in the 1990s, lesbian-feminists, transgender people, young activists, and queer feminists critiqued the focus on the womanhousewife- mother as the singular subject of feminism. Despite those criticisms, this article— which is drawn from two sociological research projects—notes that some feminists still propose a new unitary subject of feminism: the vulnerable subject. These feminisms construct this subject using a very narrow conception of vulnerability: vulnerability is exclusively exposure to violence and is equated with femininity. The text concludes with a reflection on how a more open, ambivalent, and ambiguous conception of vulnerability may allow us to rethink the subject of feminism without denying vulnerability but rather to take it as its condition of possibility.
