| Title | NEM! - A Novel Space Of Female Solidarity Within The Leftist Activist Network Of Budapest |
| Summary | The present thesis analyses a case of a system-critical feminist initiative, called NEM! (NO!), which emerged to challenge the gendered power dynamics within the Budapest based leftist network. Based on semi-structured interviews with members of NEM!, participatory observation and the examination of NEM!’s online presence, this research investigates how this feminist initiative pursues through its various activities to address the marginality of female perspectives within an activist network. The study also examines the significance and meaning of NEM! within this leftist network. Based on the results, NEM! emerges to be a female solidarity space which supports and accommodates a diverse set of activities, which concern and derive from an extended understanding of capitalism with a focus on women’s structural oppression. As the research demonstrates, in NEM!’s first two years of existence, its significance lies in its engagement in women’s possibilities to actively participate in leftist activism, and in integrating women’s structural oppression into the leftist knowledge production. |
