Contemporary feminisms are ineluctably drawn into comparisons with historic discourses, forms of praxis and tactical repertoires. While this can underscore points of continuity and commonality in ongoing struggles, it can also result in nostalgia for a more unified and purposeful feminist politics. Kate Eichhorn argues that our interest in nostalgia should be to understand feminist temporalities, and in particular the specific context in which we experience such nostalgia. Accordingly, this article takes up the idea that neoliberalism and populism, which have given rise to both neoliberal feminism and femonationalism, have produced a series of contestations regarding the purpose and nature of feminist politics, as expressed by white popular feminism in the United Kingdom. This article examines two dimensions of feminist nostalgia: first, nostalgia for a more radical form of feminist politics – one not co-opted by neoliberal forces, not individualistic and not centred around online activism; and second, a nostalgia for the idea of ‘sisterhood’ – a time before white feminists were called upon to engage with intersectionality or be inclusive of trans-women. We analyse these themes through analysis of white popular feminism produced in the United Kingdom between 2010 and 2020, cautioning against a feminist nostalgia which neglects to engage with the radical politics of intersectionality.

女权主义怀旧的问题:交叉性和白人流行女权主义

当代女权主义不可避免地与历史话语、实践形式和战术曲目进行比较。虽然这可以强调正在进行的斗争中的连续性和共同点,但它也可能导致对更加统一和有目的的女权主义政治的怀旧。凯特·艾希霍恩 (Kate Eichhorn) 认为,我们对怀旧的兴趣应该是了解女权主义的时间性,尤其是我们体验这种怀旧的具体背景。因此,本文认为新自由主义和民粹主义引发了新自由主义女权主义和女权民族主义,就英国白人流行女权主义所表达的女权主义政治的目的和性质产生了一系列争论。本文考察了女权主义怀旧的两个维度:第一,对一种更激进的女权主义政治形式的怀念——一种不被新自由主义力量所吸收、不个人主义、也不以网络激进主义为中心的政治;其次,对“姐妹情谊”概念的怀旧——白人女权主义者被要求参与交叉性或包容跨性别女性之前的时代。我们通过分析 2010 年至 2020 年间在英国产生的白人流行女权主义来分析这些主题,告诫人们不要怀念女权主义,这种怀旧情绪忽视了交叉性的激进政治。对“姐妹情谊”概念的怀旧——在白人女权主义者被要求参与交叉性或包容跨性别女性之前的时代。我们通过分析 2010 年至 2020 年间在英国产生的白人流行女权主义来分析这些主题,告诫人们不要怀念女权主义,这种怀旧情绪忽视了交叉性的激进政治。对“姐妹情谊”概念的怀旧——在白人女权主义者被要求参与交叉性或包容跨性别女性之前的时代。我们通过分析 2010 年至 2020 年间在英国产生的白人流行女权主义来分析这些主题,告诫人们不要怀念女权主义,这种怀旧情绪忽视了交叉性的激进政治。
