“…We argue that these intra-relations are produced via affects (Colman 2010), that intra-act between the writer and readers. In fact, as described in the analysis, affects are relata that produce indivisible bonds in all these participants of the communicative process of literature.…”

“…Here, Feminist New Materialism helps dismantle some of these paradoxes if we think of these elements as affective intra-actions. Affects are relational forces (Colman 2010;Bargetz 2014;Sullivan 2001) that materialize historical contextual forces under the frame of feelings (Bargetz 2014;Ahmed 2004). However, this historicity implied in feelings does not imply a concrete definition of a particular feeling even if situated in a concrete element (such as a particular novel or an entry in the social networking sites) (Ahmed 2004); rather, historicity is the embrace of all complexity (van der Tuin 2015: 76), a complexity that becomes materialized in a particular discourse through thinking past, present and future as a 'quantum entanglement' (Barad 2010).…”

Zusammenfassung: In Auseinandersetzung mit Materialitäten entwickeln feministische New Materialisms ein neues Verständnis politischer Praxen. Materialitäten, insbesondere Körper, werden als aktiv verstanden, mit einer eigenen agency. Im Anschluss an Gilles Deleuze werden hier drei zentrale Theoretikerinnen der feministischen New Materialisms mit ihren je unterschiedlichen (Neu-)Politisierungen von Materialitäten diskutiert: Elizabeth Grosz schließt an die Gedanken von Deleuze zur Kraft des Lebens an und politisiert sie. Die Intuition ist hier eine Erfahrung und Partizipation in den Lebensprozessen der Materialitäten. Jane Bennett greift ebenso auf Deleuzes Konzeption von vitalen und dynamischen Materialitäten zurück und entwickelt ausgehend davon eine Politik der Sorge und Verantwortung für Materialitäten. Als Letztes wird Rosi Braidottis Theorie untersucht. Ausgehend von Deleuzes Ideen zum Frau-Werden entwickelt sie eine widerständige Praxis des Feminismus und der sexuellen Differenz gegen die Ordnung der ‚Männlichkeit'. Am Ende werden die theoretischen und politischen Konsequenzen dieser Mikropolitiken in den feministischen New Materialisms diskutiert.

“…Finally, Felicity Colman (2010) underlines that since the manifesto is ‘ a process of epistemology engaged to shock ’, its author(s) have often been rejected, even more so if they belonged to underrepresented groups (pp. 382, 375−376).…”

From actions to words: FEMEN’s fourth-wave manifestos

Since its creation in 2008 in Ukraine, FEMEN has fascinated mainstream audiences and scholars alike. Yet few studies have dealt with FEMEN’s writings in French. While the lack of translations may partially explain this critical gap, the overall dismissal of FEMEN and its impact on contemporary feminisms participates in the historic marginalisation of women’s contributions to the arts, the sciences, or society at large. Recognising the organisation’s problematic standpoints, this article demonstrates how, going from action to words, FEMEN’s collective book publications, Manifeste FEMEN and Rébellion, contribute to, and complicate, contemporary feminist thought and debates. Inscribing themselves in the feminist manifesto tradition, both books articulate a fourth-wave feminist standpoint, and through FEMEN’s assessment of their actions, the organisation unveils Western democracies’ tartufferies regarding secularism and equal rights. FEMEN’s manifestos also generate a reflection on the (im)possibility of a universal, global approach to feminism, namely, due to their Islamophobic stances.

The Language of Gender-Based Separatism

This Element shows how two social movements, lesbian separatism and Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), reflect the changing and complex (anti-)feminist ideologies of their time. The authors outline the historical and political background of those discourses and how they are influencing contemporary gender relations. The materials analysed comprise ten manifestos, which are examined with a combination of data-led discourse analysis and theory-led argumentation analysis. The manifestos are similar in that both sets of authors construct homogenous in-groups and out-groups as well as dichotomies between them. There are some differences though in how this is linguistically realised and who is classified as an out-group. Both groups cast social actors in particular roles and establish ethical norms, but strategic planning and utopias are more prominent among lesbian separatists. Freedom, advantage and authority are central in each group's argumentation, but lesbian separatists also stress humanitarianism while MGTOW focus on financial matters.
