| Popis: | This chapter is about the rise of transnational white corporate spiritual feminism in the new millennium. Drawing on several decades of fieldwork in global women’s networks, particularly participant-observation at meetings, Fisher argues that this new focus on spiritual wellbeing is one of a series of disparate projects that make up contemporary neoliberal feminism. Women’s meetings in the new millennium produce feminine, feeling and soulful corporate subjects. Such subjects are purportedly able to successfully navigate an increasing inter-cultural business world composed of powerful actors who traverse traditional distinctions between the global north and south. Women’s conferences are thus training grounds for the making of a new female global elite of cultural polyglots, able to master dominant and alternative forms of gender, racial and emotional capital. |
