Feminist Politics in Neoliberal Times: A Public Dialogue

Verónica Gago in conversation with Zeynep Gambetti

Chair: Veronika Zablotsky (Gießen)

Friday, March 11, 2022, 4-6pm s.t. CET

Zeynep Gambetti and Verónica Gago, two foremost critical theorists of (post-)neoliberal transformations and collective acts of resistance today, will stage a much anticipated public dialogue on feminist politics in neoliberal times as part of the virtual lecture series Transnational and Intersectional Critiques of Power. Based in Turkey and Argentina, respectively, they will discuss how transnational feminist, queer and trans*, worker, landless, student, and activist mobilizations around the world are confronting “conditions where the popular fabric is confronted with increasingly fast-paced and violent dispossessive, extractive, and expulsive logics” (Gago). What new forms of organizing and political action have emerged from densely interconnected sites of struggle throughout the Americas, Europe, and the wider Middle East? What are the disruptive and constituent capacities of transnational feminism(s) today? 

In preparation for a lively discussion with the audience, the GGS research section Transnational and Intersectional Critiques of Power will hold two open preparatory sessions (in English language) to “READ & DISCUSS” a selection of the speakers’ published works around our digital kitchen table. All are welcome.
