Resumo: | The Feminist Theory of IR, having been produced in the Global North, does not provide the adequate epistemological framework for research on Arab and Muslim women. Thus, the article has the research problem to identify: how Arab and Muslim feminists contribute to advancing the feminist theoretical debate of the Global South in IR? The hypothesis is that the dialogue is supported by the sharing of similar obstacles - living with religious conservatism, participation in national public life, among others - and by the mutual identification of non-belonging to the hegemonic feminism, practiced by international institutions. Our objective, therefore, is to carry out a critical review of the theoretical literature indispensable for new research in the Brazilian academy. We begin with a brief review of post-colonial feminism (from which many feminist arguments in the Arab world are constructed); we go through the peculiarities of intersectionality in the studies of Arab women; we present their main theoreticians and, finally, we identify that their contribution to the advancement of the feminist debate in the IRs of the Global South consists, in short, in its fight against the reflexes of past and recent imperialist processes, which reproduce social structures that maintain the subordination of women. |

Destarte, o artigo tem como problema de pesquisa identificar: como as feministas árabes e muçulmanas contribuem para fazer avançar o debate teórico feminista do Sul Global nas RI? A hipótese é de que o diálogo é sustentado pelo compartilhamento de obstáculos semelhantes – convivência com conservadorismos religiosos, participação na vida pública nacional, entre outros – e pela identificação mútua de não-pertencimento ao feminismo hegemônico, praticado pelas instituições internacionais. Nosso objetivo, portanto, consiste em fazer uma revisão crítica da literatura teórica indispensável às novas pesquisas na academia brasileira. Começamos por uma breve revisão do feminismo pós-colonial (a partir do qual se constroem muitos argumentos feministas do Mundo Árabe); passamos pelas particularidades da interseccionalidade nos estudos de mulheres árabes; apresentamos suas principais teóricas e, por fim, identificamos que sua contribuição para o avanço do debate feminista nas RI do Sul Global consiste, em suma, no seu combate aos reflexos de processos imperialistas passados e recentes, que reproduzem estruturas sociais de manutenção da subalternidade das mulheres.
