This edited volume brings transnational feminisms in conversation
with intersectional and decolonial approaches. The conversation is
pluriversal; it voices and reflects upon a plurality of geo- and
corpopolitical as well as epistemic locations in specific Global
South/East/North/West contexts. The aim is to explore analytical
modes that encourage transgressing methodological nationalisms
which sustain unequal global power relations, and which are still
ingrained in the disciplinary perspectives that define much social
science and humanities research. A main focus of the volume is
methodological. It asks how an engagement with transnational,
intersectional and decolonial feminisms can stimulate
border-crossings. Boundaries in academic knowledge-building, shaped
by the limitations imposed by methodological nationalisms, are
challenged in the book. The same applies to boundaries of
conventional – disembodied and ethically un-affected – academic
writing modes. The transgressive methodological aims are also
pursued through mixing genres and shifting boundaries between
academic and creative writing. Pluriversal Conversations on
Transnational Feminisms is intended for broad global audiences of
researchers, teachers, professionals, students (from undergraduate
to postgraduate levels), activists and NGOs, interested in
questions about decoloniality, intersectionality, and transnational
feminisms, as well as in methodologies for boundary transgressing
knowledge-building.
Through staging dialogues between scholars, activists, and artists
from a variety of disciplinary, geographical, and historical
specializations, Postcolonial and Postsocialist Dialogues explores
the possible resonances and dissonances between the postcolonial
and the postsocialist in feminist theorizing and practice. While
postcolonial and postsocialist perspectives have been explored in
feminist studies, the two analytics tend to be viewed separately.
This volume brings together attempts to understand if and how
postcolonial and postsocialist dimensions of the human condition -
historical, existential, political, and ideological - intersect and
correlate in feminist experiences, identities, and struggles. In
the three sections that probe the intersections, opacities, and
challenges between the two discourses, the authors put under
pressure what postcolonialism and postsocialism mean for feminist
scholarship and activism. The contributions address the emergence
of new political and cultural formations as well as circuits of
bodies and capital in a post-Cold War and postcolonial era in
currently re-emerging neo-colonial and imperial conflicts. They
engage with issues of gender, sexuality, race, migration,
diasporas, indigeneity, and disability, while also developing new
analytical tools such as postsocialist precarity, queer
postsocialist coloniality, uneventful feminism, feminist opacity,
feminist queer crip epistemologies. The collection will be of
interest for postcolonial and postsocialist researchers, students
of gender studies, feminist activists and scholars.
