Ana Cecilia Gaitán, Lilian Hümmler, Stella Schäfer und Mahza Amini
This event explores the central role of emotions and affects as political, collective, and historically situated forces that shape feminist mobilizations, experiences of violence, and processes of knowledge production. By focusing on these distinct yet intertwined aspects, we invite interdisciplinary and transnational dialogue on how feelings – such as fear, shame, and numbness – circulate within feminist movements and within the research practices that engage with gender-based violence.
How do affects inform the ethics, methodologies, and epistemologies of feminist scholarship? What does it mean to feel resistance, and how might feelings be understood not only as objects of inquiry but also as modes of knowing?
These questions will first be addressed in a discussion between Ana Cecilia Gaitán (UNSAM, Buenos Aires, Argentina), Lilian Hümmler and Stella Schäfer (Goethe University), whose work engages with emotions and affects in the context of public policy, feminist movements and gender-based violence.
