What do struggles for women's and LGBTI+ rights in Russia, Turkey and the Scandinavian countries have in common? Based on a multisited ethnography of feminist and LGBTI+ activisms across Russia, Turkey and the Scandinavian countries, this Open Access book explores transnational struggles on various levels, from the micro-scale of the everyday to large-scale, spectacular events. And what can actors who struggle for rights and justice in these contexts learn from each other?
Taking the reader beyond the dichotomies of visible/invisible and public/private, this book advances new understandings of resistance, Drawing on ethnographic insights and encounters from various sites, this book conceptualizes resistance as situated in the grey zone between barely perceptible, even hidden or covert, forms of mundane activist practices and highly visible street protests, gathering large crowds.
