Abstract

Feminist self-defense is a practice that mobilizes both corporeal techniques and techniques of the self to give women means of responding to the continuum of forms of violence that they may face. By gaining confidence and assertiveness women incorporate a fighting ethos that produces effects not only in case of an eventual aggression, but also within the different spheres of women's everyday lives. Feminist self-defense implies work on oneself and collective transformation; hence it is situated at the intersection of the personal and the political. The article examines this dialectic and raises more specifically the question of using the body and violence as political tools.

L'autodéfense féministe est une pratique qui mobilise des techniques du corps et des techniques de soi afin de donner aux femmes les moyens de faire face au continuum des violences auxquelles elles peuvent être confrontées. En gagnant en confiance et en assurance, les pratiquantes incorporent un ethos combatif qui, au-delà de la situation d'agression, a des répercussions sur les différentes sphères de la vie quotidienne. Entre travail sur soi et transformation collective, l'autodéfense se situe à l'intersection du personnel et du politique. L'article examine cette dialectique et analyse plus particulièrement la question de l'usage du corps et de la violence en tant qu'armes politiques.
