Dear colleagues and friends,
I am pleased to announce the publication of my book 'Feminist Afterlives. Assemblage Memory in Activist Times' (Palgrave Macmillan)
https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9783319987361
Hardback/215pages/ISBN 978-3-319-98736-1/ £59.99 -also available in eBook chapters from £ 23.94
About the book:
• Provides a new set of analytical tools to explore the social and cultural afterlives of social movements and protest
• Moves beyond a text-based focus on narratives and identities to analyse how circulations of protest pasts travel through discursive, material, embodied and affective states
• Offers an insight into the methodologies needed to track activist and social movement memories across time and space, to understand their complex entanglements and meanings
• Brings together perspectives from memory studies, social movement studies, gender, heritage, media and cultural studies scholarship to outline a vibrant new research agenda for activist memory studies
Review:
“Feminist Afterlives skilfully asks compelling questions about how feminist memories travel across mediated cultures. Drawing on impressive empirical research, Chidgey re-centers feminist memories as crucial to contemporary feminisms, affirming their power to generate social action and reminding us of the complex histories that inform today’s gender politics.” (Jessalynn Keller, University of Calgary, Canada)
About the Author:
Red Chidgey is Programme Director of the MA in Cultural & Creative Industries and Lecturer in Gender and Media at King’s College London. She is co-founder of the AHRC-funded Protest Memory Research Network and tweets at @protestmemory
