SUMMARY:Feminist Movements as Democratic Innovators in Times of Backlash
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: ov_cristian.norocel@genus.lu.se\n\nGender Studies Semi
 nar with Susi Meret (Aalborg University\, Denmark)Feminist Movements as De
 mocratic Innovators in Times of BacklashAbstractThe presentation examines 
 feminist movements across Europe as sites of democratic innovation under c
 onditions of democratic erosion\, drawing on the research findings of the 
 project FIERCE (Feminist Movements Revitalizing Democracy in Europe\, fier
 ce-project.eu).&nbsp\;Feminist movements are actors that both resist anti-
 gender and anti-feminist mobilizations and enact democratic norms through 
 prefigurative practices that reshape democratic participation\, deliberati
 on\, and decision-making. The analysis identifies five forms of feminist d
 emocratic innovation: advance political rights and participation\; create 
 subaltern counter-publics\; embed intersectional approaches\; produce femi
 nist knowledge and promote forms of hybrid activism\, which combines insti
 tutional and grassroots strategies with rational and affective modes of po
 litical communication.&nbsp\;Overall\, the FIERCE findings show that femin
 ist movements across Europe do more than reacting to anti-gender backlash.
  They actively rework democratic practice by developing innovative strateg
 ies that sustain and reconfigure democratic engagement under conditions of
  political hostility and growing far-right activity.BioSusi Meret is Assoc
 iate Professor at the Department of Society and Politics (SOCIET) at Aalbo
 rg University. Her research focuses on the far right\, populism\, and chal
 lenges to democratic governance in Europe\, with particular attention to g
 ender and migration.Chair: Ov Cristian Norocel\, Associate Professor in Ge
