“Phenonomy”, isonomy, social and solidarity economy: convergences in the female empowerment process?

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show, from the theory of the delimitation of social systems and the paraeconomic paradigm, an articulation between the notions of isonomy and phenonomy with the possibilities presented by the social and solidarity economy, highlighting in this articulation the empowerment of women. The idea is maintained that women, in the construction of their history of empowerment, have a phenonomic trajectory, that consolidates in the isonomic spaces. The phenonomic trajectory can be understood as emancipation of the individual in the sense of breaking with the behavioral syndrome, in a movement that approaches the phenonomic enclave. In addition, social movements, specifically in this case social and solidarity economy, can be perceived as spaces that privilege the collective, without losing individuality, that is, with isonomic characteristics in conjunction with the phenonomic trajectories, spaces that catalyze the process of female empowerment.
