Drawing on contemporary affect theory and feminist political philosophy, the paper situates rage not merely as a reaction to injustice but as a constitutive element in forming political subjectivity and collective action. By distinguishing rage from ressentiment and violence, I argue that rage can embody a form of political praxis against structural violence. Rather than viewing affect as irrational or apolitical, this conceptualization frames rage as a generative and intelligible response to the lived experience of domination. The paper thus contributes to ongoing debates on the role of emotions in political agency, offering a re-evaluation of resistance that foregrounds affective life as an embodied and affective response to systemic injustice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This activity is funded by Portuguese national funds through FCT &#8211; Funda\u00e7\u00e3o para a Ci\u00eancia e a Tecnologia, I.P., within the project UID\/00310\/2025, Centro de Filosofia da Universidade de Lisboa<br \/>\n(https:\/\/doi.org\/10.54499\/UID\/00310\/2025)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ana Miranda Mora Utrecht University Rage against Violence: An Affective Conceptualization of Feminist Resistance 3 June 2025, 17h00 (Lisbon Time \u2014 GMT+1) Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Room C201.J \u2013 Department of Philosophy) School of Arts and Humanities \u2013 University of Lisbon &nbsp; Abstract This paper explores the philosophical significance of rage as an affective force in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"","activitypub_status":"federate","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3221"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3471,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3221\/revisions\/3471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
