Üstündağ shows how the practices and the concepts of the movement contribute to debates on how the past, present, and future can be critically rethought in revolutionary ways.\u003cbr\u003e In the movement's images, figures, voices, bodies, and their reverberations Üstündağ elaborates a new political imagination that has emerged in Kurdistan through women's acts and speech. This political imagination unfolds between flesh, body, voice, language. It is the result of Kurdish women's desire to find new ways of being and becoming, between the necessary and the possible.\u003cbr\u003e Focusing on the figures of the mother, the woman politician and woman guerilla, Üstündağ argues that the Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement changes what politics consists of, including its matter, relationality, temporality, and spatiality. Although anchored in the specific Kurdish experiences, the book puts the movement into conversation with feminist political theory, psychoanalysis, Black Studies, Queer Studies, and Decolonial Studies. In solidarity with the Kurdish Movement's tradition of resistance to History with a capital H that Kurds have built through reiterated performance, the book seeks to establish what new entanglements with wide-ranging thought the movement offers as a provocation for contemporary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Mother\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Voice of the Maternal: Kurdish Mothers at the Intersection of Linguicide and Matricide   25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eLaw(s) of the Maternal: Kurdish Mothers in Public   47\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart II: Politician\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eAntigone as Kurdish Politician: Gendered Dwellings in the Limit between Freedom and Peace   73\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eKurdish Women Politicians at the Border between Body and Flesh   100\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart III: Guerrilla\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eWho Are We and How Must We Live?
