Feminism is back, but is it? What does the contemporary popularity of feminism mean for the feminist subject and the feminist project in western organizations? This is the question that lies at the heart of this article. We observe how postfeminism – as a key source for feminism’s contemporary attractiveness – individualizes the feminist subject as empowered, choosing and self-transforming. However, feelings of affective incongruity between what is promised and what is delivered in postfeminist times provide an entry point for a re-radicalization of the feminist project. To examine how the disappointed postfeminist subject can challenge organizations, we return to the feminist concepts of collectivity and patriarchy. We update the notion of collectivity through fusion with network sociality, breaking with a traditional understanding of stable collaboration, and emphasizing diverse experiences and transient, intense collective encounters. Returning to patriarchy, we present it as ‘stunningly adaptable’ and the unsanitized interpretation of the struggle for equality. It is the context for the disappointment that can spark temporary intense collective action for intersectional equality. Finally, we identify the contours of a research agenda to explore how to radicalize the feminist subject to take forward a feminist project of intersectional equality.

一次不仅仅是一个女人:在后女权主义时代重新激进化工作中的女权主义项目



女权主义又回来了,但真的是这样吗?当代女权主义的流行对于西方组织中的女权主义主体和女权主义项目意味着什么?这是本文的核心问题。我们观察后女权主义——作为女权主义当代吸引力的关键来源——如何将女权主义主体个性化为赋权、选择和自我转变。然而,在后女权主义时代,承诺与交付之间情感上的不一致感觉为女权主义计划的重新激进化提供了切入点。为了研究失望的后女权主义主体如何挑战组织,我们回到女权主义的集体和父权制概念。我们通过与网络社交的融合来更新集体的概念,打破对稳定协作的传统理解,强调多样化的体验和短暂而激烈的集体遭遇。回到父权制,我们将其描述为“惊人的适应性”以及对平等斗争的未经净化的解释。失望的背景可能会引发暂时的激烈集体行动,以实现跨部门平等。最后,我们确定了研究议程的轮廓,以探索如何激进女权主义主题,以推进跨部门平等的女权主义项目。
