Sarah Posman: In Metamorphosis: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming you write that “time is on our side.” Do you still feel that way in the light of the present moments of crisis that we’re witnessing in society and academia – the lack of funding for Women’s Studies departments in the low countries is an urgent example. When there is revolt against these developments – the riots in cities across Europe, the academe-affiliated Occupy movements – it doesn’t seem to come in the Dionysian guise you promote. Rosi Braidotti: The phrase “time is on our side” is grounded both in an intellectual and institutional practice of feminism. For me feminist theory is transformative. This implies a debate with gender and gender mainstreaming, which is one of the great growth areas not only of the academe but of our society, and an area that will produce a great deal of employment for our students. Gender mainstreaming is egalitarian and terribly important. I support it completely, but it is not transformative, necessarily. I was watching TV last night, on the eve of international women’s day, and all the major international networks were doing features on the status of women. Al Jazeera had a wonderful set of interviews about women in the Arab world and women entrepreneurs in India.

  • Writing As a Nomadic Subject
    Comparative Critical Studies 11.2–3 (2014): 163–184 Edinburgh University Press DOI: 10.3366/ccs.2014.0122 C British Comparative Literature Association www.euppublishing.com/ccs Writing as a Nomadic Subject ROSI BRAIDOTTI I am rooted but I flow Virginia Woolf, The Waves1 My lifelong engagement in the project of nomadic subjectivity has been partly motivated by the conviction that, in these globalized times of accelerating technologically mediated changes, many traditional points of reference and age-old habits of thought are being re-composed, albeit in contradictory ways. Paradoxically, old power relations are not only confirmed but in many ways exacerbated in the new geo-political context.2 At such a time more conceptual creativity is necessary, and more theoretical courage is needed in order to bring about the leap across inertia, nostalgia, aporia and the other forms of critical stasis induced by our historical condition. It has become like a mantra to me: we need to learn to think differently about the kind of subjects we have already become and the processes of deep-seated transformation we are undergoing. The philosopher in me believes that a new alliance between philosophy, the arts and science is a crucial building block for this qualitative shift of perspective.3 The writer in me, on the other hand, continues to muse about the complex ways in which the imaginary both propels and resists in-depth transformations. A MATTER OF STYLE At the beginning of it all, for my generation, is the commitment to writing. Presented as a form of political and ethical engagement, it is essentially a visceral gesture.

  • A Cartography of Angry Indian Goddesses Towards Nomadic Affect
    Indi@logs Vol 7 2020, pp 11-25, ISSN: 2339-8523 DOI https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/indialogs.150 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A CARTOGRAPHY OF ANGRY INDIAN GODDESSES TOWARDS NOMADIC AFFECT INDRANI MUKHERJEE Jawaharlal Nehru University [email protected] Received: 31-10-2019 Accepted: 17-12-2019 ABSTRACT This paper attempts to draw a cartography of becoming Angry Indian Goddesses as transnational nomadism towards an embodied and material rethinking of women’s friendships from outside the constraints of systemic binaries. The friends are all professional women who are globally wired, whose thinking minds and non-docile bodies detach themselves from any normative modes of belonging in their respective personal and professional realms. They map a post-humanist spatiality of rhizomic linkages with other animate and non-animate entities, throwing up a new ethics of nomadic affect and responsibility. The film begins with a panoramic gaze of the Goan landscape, overlapped with flash images of Hindu goddesses and their animal escorts framed within a power packed song “Kattey”, which intersects Bhanwari Devi’s powerful folk composition of Meera Bai’s 15th century mystic tradition with Haard Kaur’s rap. The crossing of the song and the violent events of rejection that the women face, unbridle a becoming angry goddesses through a pastiche of the anxious goddesses and women sited on an axis of re/de-valorised difference. Goa becomes a potential third space entangled with all of the above, as it dwells on the contemplative scope of this cartography as redemptive and suggests a re-humanization of schizophrenic splintered objects through love and affect.

  • A Dialogue Between Rosi Braidotti and Nina Lykke
    Feminist Encounters: A Journal of Critical Studies in Culture and Politics, 5(2), 20 ISSN: 2468-4414 The Long March Through the Patriarchal Institutions: A Dialogue Between Rosi Braidotti and Nina Lykke Lea Skewes 1*, Stine Willum Adrian 2 Published: September 1, 2021 ABSTRACT Doing feminist work from within patriarchal institutions comes with unique challenges. We invited two activists and feminist studies professors, Rosi Braidotti and Nina Lykke, to reflect on feminists’ long march through patriarchal university institutions. Concretely, we asked them to reflect upon three themes. Firstly, we asked them to situate themselves and their work – and reflect upon what it takes to do feminist work which troubles mainstream epistemologies. Secondly, we asked them to explore how the conditions for feminist research have changed over time – and what the current neoliberal and right-wing backlash does to feminist research. And finally, we asked how coming of age might have influenced them, and how they looked upon intergenerational exchanges in the feminist movement. The aim of the dialogue was to look back at how the feminist studies movement in academia emerged, while at the same time looking forward to explore which new political and ideological conditions have arisen and how these might affect future possibilities for conducting feminist research within academia. Keywords: Braidotti, Lykke, patriarchal institutions, feminist studies, feminist revolutions THE CONTEXT FOR THE DIALOGUE The dialogue between Rosi Braidotti and Nina Lykke took place at Aarhus University in Denmark in September 2018. The event was organised by the Gendering in Research Network and the three editors of the special issue of Women, Gender and Research called Feminist STS at Work1 (Adrian, Skewes and Schwennesen, 2018).

  • Editorial: Why Affirmative Critique?
    Editorial 1 Editorial: Why affirmative critique? Having completed my Master’s study on power in the classroom, I had a tremendous feeling: I had discovered so much. The ethnographic research had been eye-opening. Everything related to my Foucault-inspired notion of power and discourse – how thoroughly embedded we were in power structures and webs of power relations. I saw and realized now things that others hardly noticed within the business-as-usual. For example, the teacher of my research class was obvious to how she was reinforcing discourses of normalised gender within the seemingly innocent everyday practices of school. I felt uneasy about talking to the teacher about what I had noticed. I was afraid that it could hurt her feelings, make her feel negative about herself as teacher. I still don’t know whether she read my study. I also struggled to find ways of talking about my study with the pupils of the class, about the games that the girls enjoyed, the ways in which they learned to be disciplined as they lived their everyday lives. I did feel the urge to inform them about the critical aspects I had discovered – that all their actions reflected power and even if they did not know it themselves, they were constantly reproducing restricting discourses. The auditorium is full of people. Here we are, educational scholars at an international conference. The keynote speaker presents an ongoing research project. It concerns schooling, gender and racism. The PowerPoint slide gives an example of how student’s racist comments are met with silence from the teachers.

  • Developing Transnational Methodologies in Feminist Studies: the Relationship Between Postcolonial Feminisms and New Materialist Feminism
    Developing Transnational Methodologies in Feminist Studies: the relationship between postcolonial feminisms and new materialist feminism Desarrollo de metodologías transnacionales en los estudios feministas: la relación entre los feminismos postcoloniales y el feminismo neo-materialista Ph.D.Valeria Candidate Morabito at the University of Bologna orcid ID: 0000-0002-6037-6742 Recibido: 18/10/2018 Aceptado: 9/12/2018 doi: https://doi.org/10.20318/femeris.2019.4566 Abstract. The following article is an attempt to establish a constructive dialogue be- tween two of the leading feminist philosophical theories of our time, new materialist feminism and postcolonial feminisms. Despite the fact that new materialist feminism has claimed to share the same concerns of postcolonial feminisms, this paradigm in some cases has been un- common viewpoints, as I want to demonstrate. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight theappreciated main standpoints among the of postcolonial new materialist field, feminism, even though in relation the two with theories the theoretical actually do positions have some of postcolonial feminism. In order to do so, I have engaged critically with Rosi Braidotti’s thought, putting it in dialogue with the critiques advanced by postcolonial feminist thinkers. After the feminism in the second, I then proceeded by envisaging a common ground for the two theories. Theanalysis importance and the ofdefinition this intercommunication of new materialist is basedfeminism on the in theidea first that section, there can and be postcolonial no effective politics for new materialism if this theory doesn’t develop its ability to be transdisciplinar and intersectional. It also has to become capable of accounting for the dynamics of power at all levels and with different prospective, as a way to create new politics of identity and resistance.
