鈥淭ravelling Theories: The Affective Politics of the Circulation of Feminist Ideas鈥�

• Friday, January 17^th

• Online event via Teams

How can feminist theories, ideas, discourses, protests, demands travel from one context to another? What happens to them when they travel? How are they negotiated in different locations? How do they open spaces and become incorporated in local power dynamics, producing potential complicities? There have been many critiques of the geopolitical inequalities reproduced when feminism travels from 鈥榃est鈥� to 鈥楨ast鈥� or from 鈥楴orth鈥� to 鈥楽outh鈥� – but what other forms of travel may we consider and how do they complicate our analysis of the politics of circulation of feminist ideas? This roundtable features three speakers who will engage with these questions from different perspectives, but with a shared focus on the affective politics of past and present forms of international circulation of feminist ideas.
