Wat zijn post-feministische strategieën in de kunsten? in artikelen gewijd aan de performatieve kracht van de online private novel annex radiohoorspel Neid van de controversiële feministische schrijfster Elfride Jelinek: de strijd voor emancipatie van de guerrillavrouwen aan de zijde van ‘subcomandante Marcos’ in het Mexicaanse Chiapas: journalistieke zelf(re)presentatie van de modejournaliste Aynouk Tan in een fotodialoog met haute couture als rekwisiet: de herformulering van de mythologische figuur Antigone in de onderzoekende workshops van het artistieke duo deufert&pliscke: de provocatieve en obscene performances van Ann Liv Young, en de schoonheidsidealen van Baklas (‘verwijfde’ homoseksuele mannen) op de Filipijnen. Met Nederlandse samenvattingen. The contributions explore the theoretical and conceptual interrelations between the terms gender and performance to ask for the present state of feminism in the arts and its (possible) future. Giving a historical account of the debates that surround issues of post-feminism and post-gender opposed to a politics of identity and differences, the authors highlight the performative body as the indispensable arena of dissents, negotiations and battles over gender questions.
