What happens when feminism goes mobile, traveling across time and space as well as medial frameworks and cultural repertoires? The most obvious answers include the pluralization of what can be considered feminism to feminisms and the wider category of women’s movements. The exploration of mobile feminisms, in turn, pushes back against assumptions of online monoculture and heightens awareness of the material and imaginative affordances of connective media.
The presentation phase of the workshop understands itself as two-part project report: first, reporting on a two-year collaborative project in which graduate students from Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi and Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg worked on the questions posed by mobile feminisms, and, second, contributing to the larger ongoing project of reinvestigating the cultural studies tradition and retooling its approaches for the contemporary world.
Closer consideration of case studies identified and explored in the transnational Mobile Feminisms project creates the bridge to the more participatory phase of the workshop in which we can think about teaching-based collaboration as a motor of cultural studies scholarship.
