“…Women have long been at the forefront of various social movements and forms of emancipatory politics (Rosen, 1974; Rowbotham, 1992; Griffin, 1995). Globally, there has been a resurgence in feminist activism and thought, with women becoming increasingly engaged in, and reconnected with, contemporary protest and acts of resistance (Mackay, 2015; Cruz and Brown, 2016; Moss and Maddrell, 2017). In particular, women have been central to social movements concerned with environmental justice, both in terms of contributing to environmental science and public health debates, and engaging in direct action (Gaard, 2011; McHenry, 2017).…”

This article seeks to consider the policing of anti-fracking protests at Barton Moss, Salford, from November 2013 to April 2014. We argue that women at Barton Moss were considered by the police to be transgressing the socio-geographical boundaries that establish the dominant cultural and social order, and were thus responded to as disruptive and disorderly subjects. The article draws upon recent work on pacification, which views police power as having both destructive and productive dimensions, to consider the impact of police violence on women involved in protest. We seek to explore the ways in which this violence impacts not only on those involved in protest but also those on the peripheries. The article suggests that the threat and use of sexual violence by police towards women aims to enforce compliance within the protest movement and to send a message, specifically to those on the fringes of the movement, that protest is illegitimate and inherently dangerous. As such, sexual violence forms part of the social production and construction of gender and is instrumental in the making and remaking of subjectivities. The case study suggests that police brutality towards women at Barton Moss, therefore, operated as a disciplinary function to regulate acceptable forms of protest and acceptable forms of femininity.

“…As well as providing a significant analysis of one of the contemporary humanitarian failures of our era, Kivilcum contributes to the gendering of the legal violence literature as it addresses fear of enclosure in criminal and administrative forms. In an important acknowledgment of the ways in which academics act out of commitment to a better world (Cruz and Brown 2016), Kivilcim dedicates her article to the '2212 Turkish Academics for Peace who are currently facing prosecution for terrorist propaganda for signing a petition for peace in Turkey'.…”

Since the last issue of Feminist Legal Studies, we editorial board members have had lots of conversations about comfort, displacement and alienation. As we developed the programme for #FLaK2016 we thought about it as a kind of pulling ourselves out of our comfort zone (Fletcher et al. in Fem Leg Stud 24:1-6, 2016), if academic events and journals ever have a comfort zone. Drawing on a mix of feminist live performance methods and a science and technology studies-type curiosity for objects of experimentation, we tried out a kitchen table method of hosting a live research conversation with activists, artists and academics over two days (Fletcher in Fem Leg Stud 23:241-252, 2015). But we had not fully anticipated the way that the Brexit result would contribute to and complicate discomfort. A fuller analysis of FLaK awaits a later moment, but here we pick out this one aspect of our gathering-feelings of discomfort -as they animate the contributions to this issue in interesting ways.
