Our aim for this special issue was to explore the importance of rethinking feminist politics and feminist theory from a lesbian perspective. While lesbian politics and experiences have often been erased or euphemised in the history of feminism, we wanted instead to argue that this absence can be considered an instance of feminist ‘haunting’, which Avery Gordon has characterised as the ‘something-to-be-done’ (2008: xvi): an unresolved feminist contradiction which has not only impacted the way feminist theory is framed but also how feminist stories have been and are being told. Attending to the vaporous thereness of ghosts, we also wanted to follow Gail Lewis (2017) in her strategy for ‘presencing’ the untold stories and subjects obscured by dominant histories both within and outside feminism. The ghost here is not primarily a figment or partial erasure coming back to comment on the present, though she is certainly that; she is also an agent in the encounter between theory and politics. In that regard, when pioneering lesbian thinker Monique Wittig famously asserted in 1978 that ‘‘[l]esbians are not women’’ (1992: 32), she radically subverted the second-wave feminist ordering of things for which ‘[f]eminism [was] the theory; lesbianism [. . .] the practice’ by elevating lesbianism to the status of feminism’s theory. It is in the wake and spirit of this Wittigian intellectual gesture that we ask in this special issue what happens to the intellectual, social and political history of feminism when lesbianism becomes feminism’s theory rather than its practice. Starting from lesbianism as feminism’s theory, the ghost here is also a lingering presence who ‘demands [. . .] your attention’ (Gordon, 2008: xvi). Following Gordon, we wanted to trace the ways in which encounters with ghosts hold particular promise for a creative and political response to feminism’s myopias as well as its possibilities. For us, as for Gordon, ‘what haunts’ produces a critical necessity to stay with ghosts, to start Feminist Theory 2019, Vol. 20(4) 351–360 !

女同性恋鬼女权主义：介绍

我们本期特刊的目的是探讨从女同性恋的角度重新思考女权主义政治和女权主义理论的重要性。虽然女同性恋政治和经历在女权主义的历史中经常被抹去或委婉化，但我们想争辩说，这种缺席可以被视为女权主义“困扰”的一个例子，艾弗里戈登将其描述为“即将成为的东西” done' (2008: xvi)：一个未解决的女权主义矛盾，它不仅影响了女权主义理论的构建方式，而且影响了女权主义故事的讲述方式。关注幽灵的虚幻存在，我们还想效仿盖尔·刘易斯 (Gail Lewis) (2017) 的策略，即“呈现”被女权主义内外的主导历史所掩盖的不为人知的故事和主题。这里的幽灵主要不是虚构或部分擦除回来评论现在，尽管她肯定是；她也是理论与政治相遇的代理人。在这方面，当女同性恋思想家莫妮克·维蒂格在 1978 年著名地断言“女同性恋不是女性”（1992：32）时，她从根本上颠覆了第二波女权主义对事物的排序，“[f]eminism [是] 理论；女同性恋 [. . .] 通过将女同性恋提升到女权主义理论的地位来实现“实践”。正是在这种维蒂格知识分子姿态的唤醒和精神下，我们在本期特刊中询问，当女同性恋成为女权主义的理论而不是其实践时，女权主义的知识、社会和政治历史会发生什么变化。从女同性恋作为女权主义的理论出发，这里的鬼魂也是一个挥之不去的存在，谁'要求[。. .] 你的注意力”（戈登，2008 年：xvi）。跟随戈登，我们想追踪与鬼魂相遇的方式，对女权主义的短视及其可能性做出创造性和政治反应的特别希望。对我们和戈登来说，“出没的东西”产生了与鬼魂呆在一起的关键必要性，以启动 2019 年女权主义理论，卷。20(4) 351–360 ！作者 2019 年文章重用指南：sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI：10.1177/1464700119871219 journals.sagepub.com/home/fty “什么出没”产生了与鬼魂呆在一起的关键必要性，以启动 2019 年女权主义理论，卷。20(4) 351–360 ！作者 2019 年文章重用指南：sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI：10.1177/1464700119871219 journals.sagepub.com/home/fty “什么出没”产生了与鬼魂呆在一起的关键必要性，以启动 2019 年女权主义理论，卷。20(4) 351–360 ！作者 2019 年文章重用指南：sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI：10.1177/1464700119871219 journals.sagepub.com/home/fty
