Bodies in chorus. Towards a feminist-antiracist theory of political action

Who is the political subject that, by acting in chorus, both (a) indicates the limits of what is conventionally said about transformative political practice and (b) frays the defining plot of who can legitimately access the grammars of democratic political struggles? Driven by this question and drawing on the work of feminist anti-racist theories (S. Hartman, S. Carneiro, C. Evaristo, D. F. da Silva), Wihby Ventura intends to bring together the efforts of a theorization about the political action of those subjects rarely (re)presented (Spivak) as political agents. 

Raissa Wihby Ventura is a postdoctoral fellow at the State University of Campinas, as well as a visiting scholar in the Department of Cultural Studies at the University of Koblenz and in the Normative Orders Research Center at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her research interests lie in contemporary political theory with a particular focus on the ethics of migration, epistemic injustices, feminist politics, and political action in contexts of oppression. Her research aims to recast the living of undesirable migrants as a wayward act – both institutional and normative. This is part of the project "The wayward route of undesirables. A critical experiment on migration", which is funded by The São Paulo Research Foundation.

Der Vortrag findet am 24.01.23
Um 18:15 Uhr
im Raum E312 statt.
