Plural Feminisms: Navigating Resistance as Everyday Praxis

Editat de Sohini Chatterjee, Po-Han Lee
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 oct 2023
Drawing on different understandings of feminisms, this volume archives the ways in which we engage with feminisms and imagine the mundane as a feminist site of resistance against multiple and intersectional marginalisation and oppression. How individual subjects come to their feminist praxis through autoethnographic and other qualitative accounts, and how they offer resistant and decolonial strategies via reflection on their lived and embodied realities. Plural Feminisms spurs a discussion on how structural violence is identified and resisted, and the invisible and emotional labour that goes on behind this resistance. The book documents the resistance strategies feminists employ on a daily basis to survive, and to form and sustain dissident kinships, that remain unread, unheard, overlooked, and excluded from dominant discourses of being and becoming. Through autoethnography, feminist, queer and/or trans and genderqueer, indigenous, Black and racialised, disabled and neurodivergent scholars in the academy reflect on their engagement with feminisms as well as their unique resistance methods-embracing and exploring complexities and challenges that both entail. It foregrounds the critical importance of first-person narratives in developing an expansive understanding of what it means to be a feminist, the different narratives and forms that resistance takes, and the socio-cultural value of subversion.

Recenzii

Plural Feminisms is a deeply feminist text offering contemporary insights from those who resist the neo-liberal orthodoxy of the academy. The authors reflect upon what it means to be a feminist, uncover the different narratives and forms that resistance takes, and show the socio-cultural and political value of subversion.
Architecture. Fatphobia. Spiritual activism. The sanism of academia. Scholarly performativity. Again and again, these lively essays show how mundane feminist insurgence must be distributed, poly, not so sure of itself. Centering the synergies and unexpected affinities between theory and practice, we feel alongside the writers, the rage, delight and rustle of how feminism might be otherwise. A touchstone, especially for those worn down by market-mediated feminisms.
