This book interrogates why feminist memories matter. Feminist
Afterlives explores how the images, ideas and feelings of past
liberation struggles become freshly available and transmissible. In
doing so, Red Chidgey examines how popular feminist memories travel
as digital and material resources across protest, heritage, media,
commercial and governmental sites, and in connection with the
concerns and conditions of the present. Central case studies track
repeated invocations to militant suffragettes and the We Can Do It!
post-feminist icon over time and space. Assembling interviews,
archival research and ethnographic accounts with provocative
examples drawn from postfeminist media culture, a UNESCO heritage
bid, protest at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and activist
remembrance in zines and blogs, this is a broad-ranging study of
'restless' feminist pasts - both real and imagined. Richly
researched and argued, this volume offers an original framework of
'assemblage memory' and sets out a new research agenda for the
intersections between everyday activism, protest, and memory
practices.
