Vulnerability and resistance have often been seen as opposites,
with the assumption that vulnerability requires protection and the
strengthening of paternalistic power at the expense of collective
resistance. Focusing on political movements and cultural practices
in different global locations, including Turkey, Palestine, France,
and the former Yugoslavia, the contributors to Vulnerability in
Resistance articulate an understanding of the role of vulnerability
in practices of resistance. They consider how vulnerability is
constructed, invoked, and mobilized within neoliberal discourse,
the politics of war, resistance to authoritarian and securitarian
power, in LGBTQI struggles, and in the resistance to occupation and
colonial violence. The essays offer a feminist account of political
agency by exploring occupy movements and street politics, informal
groups at checkpoints and barricades, practices of self-defense,
hunger strikes, transgressive enactments of solidarity and
mourning, infrastructural mobilizations, and aesthetic and erotic
interventions into public space that mobilize memory and expose
forms of power. Pointing to possible strategies for a feminist
politics of transversal engagements and suggesting a politics of
bodily resistance that does not disavow forms of vulnerability, the
contributors develop a new conception of embodiment and sociality
within fields of contemporary power. Contributors. Meltem Ahiska,
