Popis: This chapter explores new forms of intersectional and body-related, partially performative feminism that emerges in the current socio-political climate. Hence the neo-conservative climate in many parts of the world threatens to curtail women’s rights once again. New feminist movements are, on the one hand, rediscovering the body-related practices of the 1960s. However, on the other hand, they enrich them with new epistemic and social values such as “sharing possibilities”, “applicability to human needs”, and “intercultural sensitivity”. This creates a new form of knowledge production that, for example, pushes the boundaries between art, politics, and science and transcends reductionist understandings of epistemic activities.
