dc.description.abstract | Activism entails provoking, opening and/or maintaining ongoing dialogues to enable those in unstable,
unequal or precarious conditions to become visible and have a voice. However, a generative
engagement with activism requires not only the ability to speak, occupy, and perform in public spaces
but also to open them up to allow for alternative perspectives and conditions to emerge. We look at
female activism through the lenses of liminality and performativity to understand how a group of
Spanish female activists develop dialogic organising practices when fighting against precarity. We
use a qualitative study, conducted over nine years, focusing on the experiences of participants of two
activist collectives in Seville, southern Spain, that emerged as a consequence of the Great Recession.
Our female activists experienced a journey —from becoming part of anti-precarity collectives and
performing activism to disengaging from it, reminiscent of the liminal stages of separation, limen and
aggregation. The analysis of observations, ethnographic accounts, videos, and interviews illustrates
how, to perform in liminal spaces, the activists crafted ‘backstage’ and ‘frontstage’ spaces during their
fight against precarity. On the one hand, activists built safe spaces in which they could (re)imagine
their subjectivities and develop resistances to hegemonic voices. On the other hand, they staged and
enacted those contestation scripts by appropriating and opening up private, public, and institutional
spaces. Our results expand current understanding of dialogical organising, especially among female
activists, by looking at the spatial and dialogical practices whereby precarious actors, who do not
have a ‘place’ within the symbolic distribution of places, create spaces for themselves and for the
possible. | es |
