Description
Summary:In this essay, we aim to interpret the ‘handkerchief’ as a political device, as well as its most recent displacements: from the white handkerchief of the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo (Madres y Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo), through the green handkerchief of the National Campaign for the Right to a Safe, Free and Legal Abortion (Campaña Nacional por el Derecho al Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito), to the light blue handkerchief of anti-sexual rights organizations. In particular, we look at the implications of these (counter)citational and intertextual shifts, in relation to street politics and disputes over the right to life and the meanings attributed to maternity, kinship and gender roles, among other issues.
