چکیده (انگلیسی):

Prefigurative politics are typically understood as experiments in living, laboring or provisioning that are alternatives to ‘what
is’ and prefigure ‘what could be.’ This paper rethinks prefigurative politics, which scholars have often approached by emphasizing
their economic and political structures, not the transformation of social relationships and power in these experiments. Despite
this scholarly trend, many collectivities organizing around a politics of survival engage in prefigurative practices. In fact, in the
process of resisting domination, they are re-imagining social relationships and power. In this paper, we draw on women of
color feminist theory to explore the tensions of practicing principled politics and social justice in the deeply compromised spaces
of struggle for those groups that act in the radical in-between of prefigurative politics and the politics of survival. By analyzing
a reproductive justice organizing project called ‘We are BRAVE’ as a case study , we re-imagine prefigurative politics through
three central elements: relationality , self-determination, and intersectionality .
