Event overview
Centre for Feminist Research Opening Lecture, Autumn 2017
This lecture offers a series of critical perspectives on the way in which women, across the boundaries of class and ethnicity and sexuality are the subjects whose intelligibility rests on the idea of a career, a job, and a full working life.
This emphasis on employment as gender destination within the terms of contemporary neoliberalism also marks the spot at which 'feminists appropriation' is most visible and seemingly viable.
In a shift in direction away from the normative discourses of success and ambition pitched to mostly young women and documented in the Aftermath of Feminism (2008) this lecture undertakes a preliminary analysis of female failure, and the individualising tropes of abjection and shame which the popular/social media as 'moral guardian' orchestrate and oversee in its (self) appointed role as agent of biopolitical management.
