This seminar series engages with feminist theory in media and communication studies to rediscover older and forgotten ways of knowing and thinking about these issues, and to imagine alternative ways of communicating in an era marked by global crises and armed conflicts. It is organized by the Department of Communication (IKO), Lund University, in cooperation with researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London.

"Feminism and the Politics of Resilience: Gender After Neoliberalism"

This lecture will extend the conjunctural Hall-influenced analysis of feminism and neoliberalism (McRobbie 2008, McRobbie 2020) by considering the feminist shifts that have ruptured the management of gender in media and popular culture that prevailed through two decades of neoliberal governance. In a context of rising violence and antagonism, including gender violence the limits of the politics of resilience are laid bare. How can feminist pedagogy counter hatred and hostility.
