Citizenship, Public Sphere, and Sexual and Reproductive Rights: Debates and Contributions of Feminist Political Theory

Authors

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the contributions of feminist political theory to the debates on the social contract, citizenship, and the public-private dichotomy within the context of the emergence of sexual and reproductive rights as public issues. It revisits contributions that challenge the classical principles underlying the public-private dichotomy, while also providing conceptual tools intended to reconfigure the ideas of citizenship, the public sphere, and political agency.
