This book is a provocative new study of global feminist activism
that opposes neoliberal regimes across several sites including
Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United
States. The feminist performative acts featured in the book contest
the aggressive unravelling of collectively won gains in gender,
sexual and racial equality, the appearance of new planes of
discrimination, and the social consequences of political economies
based on free market ideology. The investigations of affect theory
follow the circulation of intensities - of political impingements
on bodies, subjective and symbolic violence, and the shock of
dispossession - within and beyond individuals to the social and
political sphere. Affect is a helpful matrix for discussing the
volatile interactivity between performer and spectator, whether
live or technologically mediated. Contending that there is no
activism without affect, the collection brings back to the table
the activist and hopeful potential of feminism.
