Ana de Miguel Álvarez (born 26 October 1961) is a Spanish philosopher and feminist. Since 2005 she has been a titular professor of Moral and Political Philosophy at King Juan Carlos University of Madrid. She directs the course History of Feminist Theory at the Complutense University of Madrid's Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas.
Biography
Ana de Miguel studied philosophy at the University of Salamanca and received her doctorate at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). In 1984 she completed her thesis Marxismo y feminismo en Alejandra Kollontai.
Her doctoral thesis is entitled Elites y participación política en la obra de John Stuart Mill. She has also done research on the relationships between feminism and Marxism, on Flora Tristan, and on the Egyptian feminist Qasim Amin.
From 1993 to 2005 she worked as a titular professor of Sociology of Gender at the University of A Coruña. In 2005 she joined King Juan Carlos University of Madrid as a titular professor of Moral and Political Philosophy.
Feminist research
She was a member of the Seminar on Feminism and Illustration created by philosopher Celia Amorós, taught from 1987 to 1994 at the Complutense University. The Seminar was transformed into the research and development project Feminismo, Ilustración y Postmodernidad (1995–1999). This work was added to the studies conducted around the History of Feminist Theory course, started in 1990/91 at the Complutense University's Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas (in English: Feminist Research Institute) and directed by Ana de Miguel since 2005, and compiled into the three volumes titled Teoría Feminista. De la Ilustración a la globalización.
From 2012 to 2013 she was director of the Master's program in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at King Juan Carlos University.
One of the basic contributions of her thinking is the reconstruction of a feminist genealogy.
She currently works on feminism as a social movement and its construction of new theoretical frameworks for the interpretation of reality. In this regard, she has distinguished between the politics of redefining reality and the policies of protest. Her latest publications focus on the search for clues to understand how sexual inequality propagates in formally egalitarian societies, especially among young people, on the theoretical framework of gender violence, and on prostitution as a "school of human inequality."
Sexual neoliberalism
In her work Neoliberalismo sexual, de Miguel denounces the neoliberal ideology that aims to turn life, even human beings, into a commodity. She considers that the conversion of women's bodies into merchandise is the most effective means to disseminate and reinforce this ideology, and that the sex industry is connected with it.
In January 2016, she received the First Prize ex aequo from the Social Council of King Juan Carlos University for research excellence in the Arts and Humanities category. In February she was honored with the Comadre de Oro award given annually by the Tertulia Feminista Les Comadres. In May 2016, her work was recognized with the Ángeles Durán Award for Scientific Innovation in the Study of Women and Gender granted by the UAM's University Institute of Women's Studies.
