As the 2011 uprisings in North Africa reverberated across the
Middle East, a diverse cross section of women and girls publicly
disputed gender and sexual norms in novel, unauthorized, and often
shocking ways. In a series of case studies ranging from Tunisia's
14 January Revolution to the Taksim Gezi Park protests in Istanbul,
the contributors to Freedom without Permission reveal the
centrality of the intersections between body, gender, sexuality,
and space to these groundbreaking events. Essays include
discussions of the blogs written by young women in Egypt, the
Women2Drive campaign in Saudi Arabia, the reintegration of women
into the public sphere in Yemen, the sexualization of female
protesters encamped at Bahrain's Pearl Roundabout, and the
embodied, performative, and artistic spaces of Morocco's 20
February Movement. Conceiving of revolution as affective, embodied,
spatialized, and aesthetic forms of upheaval and transgression, the
contributors show how women activists imagined, inhabited, and
deployed new spatial arrangements that undermined the
public-private divisions of spaces, bodies, and social relations,
continuously transforming them through symbolic and embodied
transgressions. Contributors. Lamia Benyoussef, Susanne Dahlgren,
Karina Eileraas, Susana Galan, Banu Goekariksel, Frances S. Hasso,
Sonali Pahwa, Zakia Salime
