Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the programme of Feminist and Sexed-Gendered Political Memories, known also by the name Sex and Revolution (Sexo y Revolución). This programme is part of the Centre for Documentation and Research on Leftist Culture (Centro de Documentación e Investigación de la Cultura de Izquierdas or CeDInCI for its acronym in Spanish). CeDInCI is a documentation centre (library, newspaper collection and archive) located in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and devoted to the preservation, conservation, cataloguing and dissemination of political and cultural productions of Latin American lefts from its beginnings, in the second half of the 19th century, up to the present day. The programme has many objectives: to create visibility for the materials that CeDInCI has available for public consultation; to attract donations; to establish and consolidate cooperation relationships with other existing or potential archives that are especially devoted to political feminist and sexed-gendered memories; to develop the study of and debates about the relationship between women’s movements, feminist and sexed-gendered groups and the wide spectrum of left movements; and to become a concrete working space for critical thought on feminist and sexed-gendered memories, as well as a key promoter of activities connected with these areas of interest.
