ABSTRACT

Feminist visceral politics refers to political ways of thinking, acting and being that take seriously the visceral realm of life: the sensations, moods and states of being born of corporeal engagement with the world. What does it mean to ‘do’ feminist visceral politics in and beyond research? We evaluate our activities across three projects, which together provide a glimpse of feminist visceral politics as both vital and mundane. In expressing how visceral politics is significant, we also express why it challenges us to want to ‘do’ more, especially as ‘feminism’ and ‘feelings’ are further vilified in conservative and mainstream discourses.
