Abstract
En 中文
<jats:p>Femicides, or sexist murders of women because of their gender, has prompted collective organizing, which the current article seeks to understand according to the differential grievability of life in existing societies. Grievable lives get acknowledged as grieved if lost; victims of femicides rarely are publicly recognized as grievable. By examining how a feminist social movement can organize grievability to make these lives publicly recognized as vulnerable, without losing the power to act, this article proposes that the action entails commoning. A qualitative case study of the feminist social movement Collages Féminicides, begun in France in 2019, details its collective civil disobedience, which involves pasting posters in public arenas. In turn, the authors propose that Gluing, a feminist praxis based on commoning practices, turns ungrievable lives into grievable ones by making them sticky, and thus acknowledged; singular, and thus mourned; and supported, and thus owned by women and gender minorities. This article advances scholarship on both grievability and vulnerability in organization studies by offering a feminist perspective on collective organizing as a way to combat violence against women and gender minorities.</jats:p>
