Scientific Review: Athena Athanasiou: Agonistic Mourning: Political Dissidence and the Women in Black

Agonistic Mourning: Political Dissidence and the Women in Black is an exceptional book that serves as a groundbreaking insight into the uneasy topic of human mourning. It urges readers not only to take a stand against violent ‘events’ such as wars that cause human suffering and immeasurable losses, but additionally to rethink mourning from an alternative, specific vantage point. Athena Athanasiou addresses mourning as a mode of agonistic performativity in line with her own theoretical shift during the last decade toward claiming the performative as a political act.
