Recenzii
This pioneering publication proposes a provocative, profound reconceptualization of the body's role in activism from an instrument that 'performs activism' to a constitutive site of resistance and generative source of 'embodied activism' opposing oppression grounded in bodily differences. Using original, contemporary case studies of bodily actions (from protesting to witnessing) challenging gender, racial, and ethnic oppression, contributors explicate the tenets, explanatory power, and significance of Newsom and Lengel's Theory of Embodied Activism. Their research reveals important contributions the theory makes to the study of activism, such as the documented transformative experience of participatory, body-based action showing the need to expand the dominant focus on the effects of activism on social change.
