Waking up to the reactivity of concepts, to their myriad
possibilities for signification, to the range and strength of
affective responses they provoke, can happen at any time, in any
place. Conceptual contestations shake up the comfortably
consolidated foundations of sociological knowledge production, but
they also have consequences for the ways in which lives are
understood, researched and legislated for. This book is dedicated
to exploring the definitional politics which surround the concept
of gender in 'live' knowledge production. While conferences remain
an under-researched phenomenon, this volume places conference
knowledge production under the spotlight; conferences, in
particular national women's studies association conferences in the
UK, the US and India, are explored as sites where definitional
politics play out. The cumulative theorisation of 'live' conceptual
knowledge production that is developed throughout the book draws on
established constructs such as performativity, citationality,
intersectionality, materiality and events, but works with them in
combination in a new, unique way. The book as a whole calls for
more attention to be paid to conceptual knowledge production, so as
to make more space for potentially transformative conceptual
change.
