The project

Title: Vers une responsivité féministe et queer. Sur l'action affective des corps en condition de proximité.

"The project aims to contribute to a feminist and queer analysis of the emotionalization processes in politics, by intersecting a bodily social ontology with feminist and queer studies on affects. The main objective is to situate discussions on affects in dialogue with a relational ontology, allowing for a deeper feminist and queer understanding of responsiveness as a theoretical-political action among bodies in proximity. The stay includes a collaboration with the LGBTQI+ Archives Center of Paris Île-de-France, as the project analyzes the interconnections between LGBTQ+ activism and the academic environment, based on the emotions that circulate within these activisms.

The specific hypotheses propose that the notion of "responsivity" can contribute to the understanding of affective action in its tension with the violence of norms, that the analysis of the interconnections between queer activism and academia highlights an aspect of action that interrupts hegemonic emotional grammars, and that queer studies of affects require a reformulation of the notion of action as a capacity for political action."
