Angebote / Angebote:

Bringing together scholars from a wide-range of discipline, this book explores the diversity and vibrancy of feminist activism in Xi-era China. Feminist Activism in Post-2010s China examines a range of urgent feminist issues in 21st century China, including the #metoo movement, online misogyny, feminism in popular media, and trans and ethnic minority experiences and rights. Chapters engage shifting dynamics between state feminism, NGO and grassroots feminism, between academia and intellectuals, between the arts and activism, the greater dependence on digital media platforms, as well as (re)formations of transnational and diasporic alliances. Rather than aiming to offer definitive conclusions, the contributors offer innovative and provocative perspectives to push the debates forwards, aided by their nuanced deployment of conceptual theorizations and rich empirical data. What are the specifics of Sinosphere and Chinese groundings of feminist activism today? How is violence perceived intersectionally, and what feminist engagements connect to the precarity in the context of pandemic and totalitarianism/war?
