Феминизмът и политиката на себе си: преосмисляне на съпротивата
Feminism and the politics of our selves: rethinking resistance

Summary/Abstract: This paper rethinks the question of resistance in feminist theory from the point of view of what the author calls, following Michel Foucault, “the politics of our selves.” The paper draws on the work of Foucault, Judith Butler, and Juergen Habermas to illuminate both sides of the politics of the self: on the one hand, the way in which selves (including gendered selves) are constituted by power relations through the mechanism of subjection, and, on the other hand, the possibilities individuals have of critically resisting and deliberately transforming themselves. After sketching out my account of the politics of our selves, I discuss the ways in which this account can enable us to understand individual and collective resistance to gender subordination.
