À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode, Members of Working Group 3 on the Transformation of Politics explore the history of International Women’s Day and how this date can be understood as a “slow commemoration”. Slow commemoration refers to dates in our calendar that appear to commemorate or celebrate something specific yet whose meaning is slippery. Slow commemorations attach themselves to multiple histories and multiple meanings: they can be filled with content to persuade you to fight for something, vote for something, or simply buy something. The 8 March is marked in many places in the world, but the meanings attached to it shift and slip according to time and location. Sometimes it is a day to celebrate women in traditional ways with gift-giving and flowers, sometimes it is a day to protest continued inequality, in some places it is viewed as nothing more than a Soviet hangover, and in others, it is a marketing opportunity.
