The presented bachelor's thesis introduces a hypothesis of "the death of woman", which designates the condition of a radical epistemic and existential crisis in relation to the conventional subject of feminism, i.e. woman, which has happened as a result of exclusionary practices in the feminist movement and theory, as well as of the disintegration of the modern political subject. The thesis employs several selected conflicts that occured in Western feminist thought from the 1970s onwards and uses them as an illustration of feminism's inherent tendency to contradict and overcome itself. The following speculative thesis of "the impossibility of feminism" then reveals yet another layer of contradiction within the feminist project, namely the affective and libidinal limits of women's becoming-subject. |
