Abstract

The author focuses on the crisis that arises from the dissociation of economy and politics from the materiality of land and bodies. She seeks to understand how this war against life is produced and points out various ways and paths that should be taken to reverse it. To this end, it takes the synergistic proposals of ecologism and feminism as its axis.
