Unveiling Saudi Feminism(s): Historicization, Heterogeneity, and Corporeality in Women’s Movements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Current Western discourses on women’s movements in Saudi Arabia proffer an understanding that is adverse to history and sidelines the region’s local knowledges, replacing such knowledges with a techno-utopian assumption that technology would produce better social or political conditions, and exhibit a pattern of disembodiment.Analysis This article endeavours to disturb ahistorical, monolithic, and disembodied accounts of Saudi women’s movements through three interventions: the historicization of the Saudi women’s activism and feminist movements; the recognition of the heterogeneity of Saudi women’s movements; and finally, the acknowledgement of the corporeality of Saudi women’s resistance.Conclusion and implications These interventions facilitate a better, more nuanced, and more contextual understanding of revolutionary and feminist practices, not only in Saudi Arabia, but also elsewhere in the world.Contexte Les discours occidentaux actuels dépeignent les mouvements féministes en Arabie saoudite d’une manière qui est contraire à l’histoire et qui marginalise les savoirs locaux de la région. Ces discours occidentaux remplacent les savoirs locaux par une approche techno-utopique selon laquelle la technologie réaliserait de meilleures conditions sociales ou politiques. Ces discours manifestent en outre une tendance vers la désincarnation.Analyse Cet article met en question les comptes rendus ahistoriques, monolithiques et désincarnés sur les mouvements féministes saoudiens en soulignant : l’historicisation du militantisme des femmes saoudiennes et des mouvements féministes dans le pays; la reconnaissance de l’hétérogénéité des mouvements féministes saoudiens; et finalement la corporalité de la résistance par les femmes saoudiennes.Conclusion et implications Ces mises au point permettent une meilleure compréhension, mieux contextualisée et plus nuancée, de pratiques révolutionnaires et féministes, non seulement en Arabie saoudite mais aussi ailleurs dans le monde.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
