| Zusammenfassung: | What explains the popularity and widespread appeal of numerous post-Yugoslav feminist and LGBTQ+ festivals in the last decade? This book argues that the millennial generation expresses "reparative politics", as a distinct type of activism, through festivals. Reparative political acting, as identified here, characteristically relies on playfulness and creativity, interpretative (gender) dissent, acceptance of organizational and programmatic messiness and hybridity, belonging, and positive affect. The reparative politics is vital in a context that is marked by an individual and collective trauma of heteropatriarchy, violent breakdown of the common state, and post-transitional economic precarity. The book uses excerpts from programs, interviews and observations collected through the multi-sited ethnographic research. Siroi's focus on contemporary activism in Southeastern Europe challenges the narrow geopolitical understanding of the recent feminist politics and refutes the common assumptions of a passive millennial generation. Yet, the book's relevance surpasses its area of study, as it argues against the popular deriding of "artivist" expressions as the "merely cultural" or "merely aesthetic" engagement. In contrast, the book claims that such activities urge a redefined understanding of political agency. Festivals as Reparative Politics demonstrates that contemporary feminist festivals represent a distinct reformulation of contentious politics of gender whose constitutive principles can be exemplary for other types of political engagements |

This book argues that the millennial generation expresses "reparative politics", as a distinct type of activism, through festivals. Reparative political acting, as identified here, characteristically relies on playfulness and creativity, interpretative (gender) dissent, acceptance of organizational and programmatic messiness and hybridity, belonging, and positive affect. The reparative politics is vital in a context that is marked by an individual and collective trauma of heteropatriarchy, violent breakdown of the common state, and post-transitional economic precarity. The book uses excerpts from programs, interviews and observations collected through the multi-sited ethnographic research. Siroi's focus on contemporary activism in Southeastern Europe challenges the narrow geopolitical understanding of the recent feminist politics and refutes the common assumptions of a passive millennial generation. Yet, the book's relevance surpasses its area of study, as it argues against the popular deriding of "artivist" expressions as the "merely cultural" or "merely aesthetic" engagement. In contrast, the book claims that such activities urge a redefined understanding of political agency. Festivals as Reparative Politics demonstrates that contemporary feminist festivals represent a distinct reformulation of contentious politics of gender whose constitutive principles can be exemplary for other types of political engagements</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">LGBT</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)7705503-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Feminismus</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4222126-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Festival</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4154198-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Südosteuropa</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4058449-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Gay culture / Former Yugoslav republics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Festivals / Political aspects / Former Yugoslav republics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Reparations for historical injustices / Former Yugoslav republics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Culture homosexuelle / Ex-Yougoslavie</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Réparations des crimes de l'histoire / Ex-Yougoslavie</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE / Feminism & Feminist Theory</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Festivals / Political aspects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Gay culture</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Reparations for historical injustices</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Yugoslavia</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Südosteuropa</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4058449-5</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">LGBT</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)7705503-2</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Festival</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4154198-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Feminismus</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4222126-2</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034838839&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034838839&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Register // Gemischte Register</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="n">oe</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="q">BSB_NED_20240405</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">305.309</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="f">090512</subfield><subfield code="g">496</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
