The Radical Potential of Mothering During the Egyptian Revolution
A Talk by Nadine Naber\, Professor\,\nDepartment of Gender and Wom en's Studies and the Global Asian Studies Program\, \n\nUniversity of\nIll inois at Chicago

This\ntalk is based upon ethnographic r esearch with leftist women activists who\nparticipated in the Egyptian rev olution of 2011 while mothering young children.\nIt seeks to “unsentimenta lize mothering” by exploring its radical potentials\nwithin the context of revolution. I argue that mothering\, among my\ninterlocutors\, is constit uted by a radical potential precisely because—contrary\nto what mainstream narratives and widely accepted feminist accounts would\nsuggest—they do n ot experience mothering and revolution as conflictual.\nInstead\, their mo thering is a practice of resistance to state violence rather\nthan a senti mentalized identity confined to domestic space that supports the\nnation.
