MORAN FAUNDES, José Manuel. Religión, secularidad y activismo héteropatriarcal: ¿qué sabemos del activismo opositor a los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en Latinoamérica?. La ventana [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.47, pp.97-138. ISSN 1405-9436.

Facing the gains achieved by feminist and lgbti movements in Latin America, an activism opposed to sexual and reproductive rights (srr) has emerged. Latin American academy has been interested in researching this activism, highlighting the many ways in which religion is articulated within these sectors. However, some investigations also noticed how certain secular elements are imbricated with collective actions opposed to ssr. Considering these findings, and after reviewing the regional literature, this paper discusses the challenges the articulation between the religious and the secular posed in order to understand these sectors. Specifically, the relevance of the use of concepts that associate this type of collective action with an exclusively religious phenomenon is discussed. Finally, considering some theoretical contributions developed from feminist and queer theory, the article proposes the concept “heteropatriarchal activism” as a general characterization of the phenomenon of organized opposition to srr, in order to highlight the systems of power that this movement reproduce instead of its link with religion.

Palabras llave : sexual and reproductive rights; secularism; religion; Latin America; conservatism.
