“Naked Attacks: FEMEN and the Explicit Female Body in Protest\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This paper explores the protest technique(s) of the contemporary feminist protest group FEMEN, a group who currently describe themselves as an \u2018international women\u2019s movement of brave topless female activists\u2019. Specifically it will examine their use of the sexualised and explicit female body in protest, alongside the potential effects this has on wider representations\/understandings of FEMEN as a feminist group. In doing so, this paper attempts to locate FEMEN within the wider area of research surrounding contemporary feminist protest practices and their position within current feminist discourses.<\/p>\n
