Co-Motion

Re-Thinking Power, Subjects, and Feminist and Queer Alliances

About this book

In Co-Motion, theorist Paola Bacchetta proposes a new lexicon for analyzing power, subjects and alliances. Employing what she calls 'theory-assemblages' to describe how diverse theoretical and political approaches inspire movements and produce different kinds of alliances, Bacchetta engages the inseparability of power relationsā€”such as colonialism, capitalism, racism, caste, misogyny, and speciesismā€”and how their combinations, operability, and the analyses they require, shift in different contexts and lives of subjects. Focusing on France, India, Italy, and the US from the 1970s to the present, Co-Motion addresses a wide activist, artivist, and social movement archiveā€” group statements, banners, pamphlets, graffiti, posters, poetry, sit-ins, films, art exhibitsā€”to think and feel with the many ways that people, historically and today, come together to act. Through her expansive engagement with varied bodies of scholarship, sites of analysis, and kinds of reading, Bacchetta offers new approaches to analyze, confront, and transforming power, and to enact freedom.
