Right to rage: Subjectivity and activism

Keywords: activism, feminism, intersectionality, neoliberalism, video essay

Abstract

This monographic issue offers an in-depth and multifaceted examination of rage from an intersectional perspective. It delves into the dual nature of this emotion which simultaneously serves as a driving force and constraining element, both inspiring and limiting individuals. The articles and video essays that form this volume rigorously interrogate who the subjects of rage are and how they are discursively constructed, while also scrutinizing its impact on feminism. They inquire into why some expressions of rage gain political traction while others are rejected, and they undertake a critical analysis of the strategies employed
to disembody rage and overcome its pathologization. They also ask how to challenge the heteropatriarchal
norms of neoliberalism. The richness of the diversity of formats allows for a thorough investigation of the
narratives of rage, thereby shedding light on its transformative potential and the complexities surrounding its expression within the context of activism.
