Abstract

In 2002 trekt een handjevol jonge vrouwen uit de Parijse voorsteden, onder wie Fadela Amara, aan de alarmbel met een heus manifest: 'Ni Putes Ni Soumises'. Het geweld tegen jonge, vaak allochtone vrouwen neemt schrikbarende vormen aan. Groepsverkrachtingen zijn geen uitzondering. De auteur analyseert de oorzaken van problemen, legt verbanden en verwoordt politieke eisen. In hun strijd tegen het vernieuwde seksisme herontdekken de jonge vrouwen het feminisme.

Abstract

In the late 1980s, after a decade spent engaged in more routine interest-group politics, thousands of lesbians and gay men responded to the AIDS crisis by defiantly and dramatically taking to the streets. But by the early 1990s, the organization they founded, ACT UP, was no moreOCoeven as the AIDS epidemic raged on. Weaving together interviews with activists, extensive research, and reflections on the authorOCOs time as a member of the organization, "Moving Politics" is the first book to chronicle the rise and fall of ACT UP, highlighting a key factor in its trajectory: emotion. a Surprisingly overlooked by many scholars of social movements, emotion, Gould argues, plays a fundamental role in political activism. From anger to hope, pride to shame, and solidarity to despair, feelings played a significant part in ACT UPOCOs provocative style of protest, which included raucous demonstrations, die-ins, and other kinds of street theater. Detailing the movementOCOs public triumphs and private setbacks, "Moving Politics" is the definitive account of ACT UPOCOs origin, development, and decline as well as a searching look at the role of emotion in contentious politics.
