FEMINICIDIO: ELEMENTOS PARA SU COMPRENSIÓN DESDE LA CRÍTICA DE LA ECONOMÍA POLÍTICA FEMINISTA.

The aim of the article is to analyze certain elements of the critique of feminist political economy that can contribute to an understanding of femicide. This critique includes the theory of value-dissociation in conjunction with other ideas of contemporary Marxist feminism and coincides with a number of findings of traditional research of femicide, in addition to making new contributions to explain this form of violence, by clarifying the dialectic relationship between patriarchy and capitalism, in theoretical-methodological coordination with Critical Theory. The purpose is to analyze the social historical constellation that explains the relationship between patriarchy and capitalism —its immanent logic and dialectical relationship— from a perspective of negative totality that makes visible, at least at a first approximation level, some of the articulations between the different dimensions of social life that can contribute to the explanation of femicidal violence.
