in progress roundtable: Listening as feminist politics</span></span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The
morning roundtable traces the diverse feminist antecedents and influences for an emerging interest in political ‘listening’ in media studies and political theory. The transformative potential of voice as a strategy to challenge marginalisation has been a mainstay
of feminist politics and research. Yet feminist critical engagements address voice as a site of struggle (rather than unqualified celebration), which entails concern with the problems of listening and response as much as expression and representation. We will
explore the ways in which attention to ‘listening’ has developed as a feminist-inspired intervention in political theory, as a contribution to longstanding debates on speaking positions, and as a reframing of debates on the public/private and media histories.
In the context of recent arguments that the turn to listening need not necessarily entail a feminist politics, we foreground the asides and traces of earlier calls for attention to listen, and recupe the legacy of listening interventions in diverse feminisms,
broadly defined. </span></span></span></p>
