Thoughts on Being Late: (Re)presentational Case Study of Rijeka’s Center for Women’s Studies

In my proposal I address one of the numerous dilemmas that have arisen during the process of setting up of the Center for Women’s Studies (CWS) at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka, the dilemma of representation. In the context of this paper the word ‘representation’ needs to be understood in terms of voicing, promoting or standing for and my approach to it consists of two lines of argumentation. First, positioning of the CWS as an academic unit in the actuality of postfeminism or the problem of late beginning. Second, positioning of the CWS in the local context or the problem of beginning late. Concluding remarks point towards the slippery ground of proxy- situations, but likewise, to the position of new figural possibility.
