This paper will explore Feminist Activism in the 2019 Lebanese Uprising. While many observers were impressed and perhaps surprised by the leading role that women and feminist activists have played in the uprising, I will argue that in fact women-led and feminist activism has played a leading and inspiring role in political activism and reform campaigns for at least a decade in Lebanon –and that this work has not been circumscribed to Lebanese women. The practical knowledge created in this decade includes strategies related to the security state and its policing of women’s bodies and sexualities, to the use of offline and online organizing tactics, to the building of alliances with alternative medical and legal providers. The October Uprising, rather than serving as a platform for the emergence of female and feminist leadership, instead served as a platform for the display and amplification of years of organizing work, coalition building, disagreement, and knowledge production and circulation. This paper will attempt to draw a distinction between women led and feminist activism, as well as between different articulations of feminist activism they relate to the Uprising. What are the practical, theoretical, and conceptual stakes of these distinctions? What might centering the Lebanese uprising in our analysis of transnational feminist politics teach us about intersectionality, solidarity, and an era of mass protests/politics? How might feminist theorizing help us rethink the concept of a national uprising from a locale where one third of the residents are non-citizens living under different regimes of structural inequality? What does the temporality of “uprising” do to our analysis of the long durée of political struggle and activism in the Modern Middle East? These are some of the questions we will explore.
