    Mental disorders: a disrupted intersubjectivity

    While reading the work of Lisa Guenther on solitary confinement as a form of social death many thoughts came into my mind.

She argued that solitary confinement destroys the intersubjective bodily relations on which personhood depends through the “the prolonged…

  • A (short) trans history of Greece

    Sometimes “paved” with rose petals and glitter, other times with sorrow and anger, the Athenian streets have our own names engraved (Άλλοτε «στρωμένοι» με ροδοπέταλα και γκλίτερ, άλλοτε πάλι με θλίψη και οργή, οι αθηναϊκοί δρόμοι έχουν χαραγμένα και τα δικά μας ονόματα). – Betty Vakalidou, a Greek trans woman, April 25, 1977.

    “Feminist objectivity means quite simply situated knowledges” Donna Haraway Doing a feminist research seems to be my own personal desire, and I am sure that in the future research projects I will manage to incorporate it. Through the characterization of ‘feminist’, a research has to overcome the simplicity and naivety of just a nonsexist project,…

    Theorizing obstetric violence through feminist, intersectional and gender neutral perspectives

    Introduction. One of the ongoing feminist challenges is the answer to the question of what extend women face violence and how it can be unveiled and prevented. While many forms of violence against women have risen to the social, political and legal surface worldwide, there is still a wide spectrum of uncharted ground that needs…
