这篇访谈对话探讨了乌克兰女性主义和LGBT activism在战争与军事主义背景下的潜力,受访学者批判性地分析了乌克兰在多重战争和危机交织的世界中的位置,并反思了白人性、殖民性和帝国形态等理论政治议题。
This dialogue between S. Crawley and Maria Mayerchyk and Olga Plakhotnik, Ukrainian queer feminist scholars, currently based in Germany, addresses the potential of feminisms and LGBT activism in Ukraine in the context of war and militarism. The interviewees offer a nuanced and critical perspective on the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians within an interconnected world marked by multiple wars and overlapping crises. They reflect on broader theoretical and political issues related to whiteness, coloniality, and imperial formations, with particular attention to European peripheries. As scholar-activists, Maria Mayerchyk and Olga Plakhotnik have collaborated for more than two decades on feminist and LGBT organizing in Ukraine; in 2024, they received the Honorary Feminist Sociologist and Global Feminist Partner awards (respectively) from Sociologists for Women in Society.
