Abstract "Co-Motion is a feminist theoretical project that builds from a study of the myriad and disparate ways that social movements form across the world. Paola Bacchetta notes the range of interrelated theoretical and political approaches that inspire these movements, offering the concept of critical theory-assemblages as a framework for understanding how multiple approaches and ways of knowing produce the potential for alliance in different and frequently shifting ways. Bacchetta takes seriously the inseparability of power relations, such as colonialism, capitalism, racism, caste, misogyny, and speciesism, and she emphasizes how their combination-and the analysis required-shifts in the contexts and lives of differential subjects. Focusing her analysis on France, India, Italy, and the US from the 1970s to present, Bacchetta draws on a wide archive of activist, artivist, and social movement materials, from pamphlets, graffiti, and poetry to sit-ins, film showings, and art exhibits, in order to think and feel with the many ways that people-historically and today-come together to act"-- Provided by publisher.
