Abstract
Las políticas de género han adoptado tradicionalmente un enfoque tecnocratizado que hadado escasa cabida a las prácticas y discursos del movimiento feminista y de mujeres. Ello haincidido en una menor calidad y carácter transformador de las mismas. Este artículo se acerca al casodel Ajuntament de Barcelona para explorar una apuesta pionera por revertir esta tendencia. Enconcreto, el texto introduce las principales conclusiones de un diagnóstico pormenorizado del modelode participación institucional de la ciudad, basado en la existencia de consejos de la mujer en losniveles municipal y de distrito. A través del análisis documental, del desarrollo de entrevistas conactores clave y de la realización de un cuestionario y de un taller contraste dirigidos a las entidadesque integran estos espacios, el texto identifica tanto las limitaciones y desafíos para el desarrollo deunas políticas de género participativas, como las medidas transformadoras que pueden impulsarlas.Con ello, el artículo genera nuevo material empírico respecto a la difícil intersección entre institucióny movimiento, y visibiliza nuevas prácticas con potencial para ser transferidas a otros lugares delcontexto español.
Gender equality policies have traditionally adopted a technocratic approach, giving limitedroom for the practices and discourses of the feminist and women’s movement. This has beendetrimental for the quality and transformative capacity of these same policies. This article addressesthe case of the Local Council of Barcelona in order to explore a pioneer experience to reverse thistendency. In particular, it introduces the main conclusions of a detailed diagnosis that analyses theapproach for institutional participation, based on the existence of women’s councils at the local andthe district level. Thanks to a documentary analysis, interviews with key actors, as well as aquestionnaire and a focus group directed to the organisations taking part in these structures, the studyunveils the limits and challenges for developing gender equality policies with a participatoryperspective; it also shows the transformative measures that could give impulse to such approach. Allin all, this article presents new empirical material regarding the complex intersections between theinstitution and the movement, while shedding light on new practices with potential to be transferredelsewhere in Spain.
