Feminism today is both recognizable and un-recognizable: its fast-changing pace of renewal, and the geographical and generational scope of its diffusion are transforming feminist practices, discourses and priorities as we knew them. However, much of it also remains familiar to scholars of feminism: not only the claims contemporary feminists are making but also the emotions that fuel feminism and the emotions that feminism ignite are recognizable to us. The anger, the joy, the fierceness, the wonder and the hope, but also the defiance, bitterness and anger among feminists are all emotions that have shaped and continue to shape feminist attachments (Ahmed, 2014). This special issue proposes to focus on emotions as a productive site to observe, analyse and interrogate feminism, its potentialities and its transformations. By which emotions is feminist activism sustained, inhibited or transformed? The various contributions to this special issue all investigate and reflect on the nature and the role of emotions in feminist activism. What are feminist emotions? How do they contribute to coalition building, intersectional practices or feminists’ political imagination? Conversely, how do they prevent coalition or intersectional work, reproduce and secure asymmetrical power relations among feminists?

特刊介绍

今天的女权主义既可识别又不可识别：其快速变化的更新速度及其传播的地理和代际范围正在改变我们所了解的女权主义实践、话语和优先事项。然而，女权主义学者仍然熟悉其中的大部分内容：不仅当代女权主义者提出的主张，而且推动女权主义的情绪和女权主义点燃的情绪对我们来说都是可以识别的。女权主义者的愤怒、喜悦、凶猛、惊奇和希望，以及蔑视、苦涩和愤怒，这些情绪都已经形成并将继续塑造女权主义者的依恋（艾哈迈德，2014 年）。本期特刊将关注情感作为观察、分析和质疑女权主义、其潜力及其转变的生产场所。女权主义激进主义是通过哪些情绪来维持、抑制或转化的？本期特刊的各种贡献都调查和反思了情绪在女权主义激进主义中的性质和作用。什么是女权情绪？他们如何为联盟建设、交叉实践或女权主义者的政治想象做出贡献？相反，他们如何防止联合或交叉工作，在女权主义者之间复制和确保不对称的权力关系？
