An embarrassment of riches: The seduction of postfeminism in the academy
通过作者在澳大利亚领导力研究中心的自传式研究,探讨后女权主义作为新自由主义和父权话语如何在学术组织中流行,并揭示其表面赋权实则维护白人精英父权权力的诱惑过程。
Given critiques of postfeminism as a neoliberal and patriarchal discourse that has taken considerable tolls on professional life, its popularity in organisational practice seems out of place. This article explores the processes of postfeminism through an autoethnographic inquiry of my experiences working as a research fellow at a leadership research centre in Australia. In theorising from my narrative accounts as an early career scholar, I offer a view into the entangled processes of postfeminist knowledge production and my own making as a postfeminist subject. In doing so, I attempt to illustrate the seductive appeal of postfeminism as an ostensibly empowering process that ultimately preserves White elite class patriarchal power.
