“…Finally, the Canadian collection of twelve different essays on translation composed by women from southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East, River in an Ocean (Abbas, 2023) not only extends the reach of women translators' voices but brings issues such as those first referred to by De Lima Costa and Alvarez in 2014 into the picture: namely: the need to decolonialize accounts of women's migrancy, refugeeism, life in diaspora, racialization, poverty and their work as translators of some of the many languages of the 'global south' about whose interactions and combinations the Anglo-American and European translation studies know little. Finally, and most recently, the appearance of an academic article on the controversies triggered by competing Chinese translations of the works of a radical feminist South Korean group (Cheng, 2023) reveals many other areas of study in the field of transnational feminist translation that are available and worthy of attention, and far more so, perhaps than the linguistic (and physical) skirmishes around "genderism" in the 'global north.

Slow resistance: Feminist and queer activism in ‘illiberal’ contexts

In recent years in China, NGO activism, street gatherings, and the direct expression of gender and sexual rights have been curtailed, yet paradoxically, online feminist expression and organizing, as well as gay visibility, are happening on an unprecedented scale. Inspired by the notions of slow violence and slow hope, this article proposes the concept of slow resistance in relation to ‘illiberalism’ to think through this paradox. Analyzing recent rich and multifaceted, yet often overlooked, feminist activism in China as an example of slow resistance, the article considers slow resistance in ‘illiberal’ contexts as characterized by its context-dependent (in)visibility due to censorship and limitations in global knowledge production and information circulation. Furthermore, slow resistance can be used to understand activism on a global and transnational scale, beyond the oversimplified liberal/illiberal binary. This binary often fails to capture the complexity of political shifts and social changes within ‘illiberal’ contexts. Moreover, the concept of slow resistance challenges the understanding of power solely as state power and resistance solely as opposition to state power. Developing the concept within feminist activism also highlights the importance of gender and sexual politics in understanding social and political change. Slow resistance offers an indeterminate temporality of resistance that challenges narratives of progress in modernization projects and narratives of decline and despair often associated with ‘illiberal states.’ It is important to note that an excessive emphasis on state oppression or illiberal tendencies may paradoxically hinder, rather than facilitate, the potential for (slow) resistance in such contexts.
