TRANSDISCIPLINARY FEMINIST COMMUNITY AS LEARNING TO BE WITH MARGINS IN RESPONSE TO THE PAIN

Through a woven conversation between five female scholars - Polina, Rose, Sunniva, Tone, and Victoria - we perform sisterhood and play with and through our feelings and archives, artmaking, angers, and propositions of the performative meaning-making of transdisciplinarity and feminism both at work and life overall. As critical, arts-based, and artistic researchers and teachers, we embrace an entanglement of our offerings. In creating this chapter as a poem, we let our individual contributions meld into mutual becomings of a dialogue-movement, dialogue-thinking-together. Tracing the power of the norm, we explore how we resist (insist on) our Selves. The feminist circle created in this chapter seeks to hold your hand, offer a breath, let out a sigh, and create a space for (feminist) action. The chapter proposes that the contemporary critical feminism is transdisciplinary and the feminist transdisciplinarity deconstructs the idea of a discipline altogether.
