PhD Project: Feminism in Postcolonial France |

|
Description of the Project
|
The topic of my dissertation project is feminism in France. I am interested in how the regional and historical context of postcolonial France structures political debates and interventions, as well as theoretical considerations surrounding feminism. How does the feminist movement operate as part of postcolonial French society ? I trace this question in a study on the discussion of racism in the feminist movement and theoretical works, surveying written sources, above all journals and grey literature from 1970 – 2000. There are two level in this analysis: the first is concerned with the metaphorics of feminist debates and interventions, the second focuses on the perception and examination of racism as a social phenomenon. |
