Among the examples we will examine are Neda Agha-Soltan (Iran), Malala Yousafzai (Pakistan), Bana al-Abed (Syria), and Greta Thunberg (Sweden) – they all have been constructed as projection surfaces for diverse political ends on local, regional, and global levels.
How can we understand the contested discourses around these figures from a global cultural studies perspective informed by intersectionality? And what do the differences and similarities, spectacles and silences tell us about gendered (and racialized) cultural politics in trans-/national spaces in the context of neo-liberalism?
