WGS101H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Anti-Globalization Movement, Neologism, Neoliberalism
Document Summary
Lockdown is a term used by prison movement activists to refer to the repressive confinement of humans as punishments for deviating from normative behaviours. Jails and prisons are the most visible locations for lockdowns, the term encourages us to think about connections with other confinement areas such as juvenile halls, refugee camps, residential schools, immigration detention centres. Author uses lockdown as global to evoke the antiglobalization movement"s critique of global capital and us corporate dominance. By framing this on the point above, it suggests that antiglobalization activists and scholars should pay attention to the spaces of imprisonment that stores those who are resistant or surplus to the new world order. Feminists of colour have been at the forefront in developing transnational feminist practices as a framework for understanding the gendered impacts of global economic and political restructuring as the universal topic.
