- transgenders, transseksualiteit, zwarte vrouwen, geweld, populaire cultuur, Verenigde Staten, bundel
- Description
- The increasing representation of trans identity throughout art and popular culture in recent years has been paradoxical. Trans visibility is touted as a sign of a liberal society, but it has coincided with a political moment marked both by heightened violence against trans people (especially trans women of color) and by the suppression of trans rights under civil law.This book speculates about a third term : the trapdoor, neither entrance nor exit, but a secret passageway leading elsewhere.

- Description
- This book reconnects the roots of black feminism to contemporary activism in the United States, describing the contributions of the black feminist organization, the Combahee River Collective (CRC). Forty years ago, in 1977, the CRC founders published a statement the so-called Combahee River Collective Statement. One remarkable aspect of this radical collective was its intersectional analysis of the roots of black women's oppression and inequality. In this collection of interviews, founding members of the CRC and contemporary activists - e.g. from #BlackLivesMatter - reflect on the legacy of its contributions to black feminism and its influence on today's struggles.

- feminisme, actiegroepen, sekse, seksualiteit, etniciteit, gelijke behandeling, Azië, Australië, Canada, Europa, Latijns-Amerika, Verenigde Staten, bundel
- Description
- This book is a study of global feminist activism that opposes neoliberal regimes across several sites including Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The feminist performative acts featured in the book contest the aggressive unravelling of collectively won gains in gender, sexual and racial equality, the appearance of new planes of discrimination, and the social consequences of political economies based on free market ideology. The investigations of affect theory follow the circulation of intensities – of political impingements on bodies, subjective and symbolic violence, and the shock of dispossession – within and beyond individuals to the social and political sphere.
