Professor Gabriela Balcarce of the University of Buenos Aires delivered a presentation entitled "Resistance and Argentinian Feminism" for an audience of Northewestern faculty, students, and staff members, as part of the 'After Foucault' project's biopolitics speaker series. Balcarce's talk analyzed the Feminist movement in Argentina through a biopolitical approach, using the collective Ni Una Menos as an example of what Foucault calls resistance as a practice of subversion that dislocates towards new forms of subjectivation that highlight the creative character of power. To accomplish this, Balcarce considered Judith Revel’s interpretation of biopolitics and resistance.
