Politicality of Feminist Cognition and Feminist Traces within Academia
The paper tends to explore the problem-mirroring of Women's/Gender's Studies issues from two interrelating positions and perspectives, inside and outside academic system. Both locations function as defiant oasis of feminist knowledge- production within the anti-feminist climate accompanied by functional operating educational agenda, consumerist turn in higher education, „the fight against gendered ideology“, and cognitive capitalism. Yet these problems urge us to stand against long-term implications of the peculiar juncture of neoliberal regime of knowledge and the awaking of the idea of anti-secular, religious old-new ‘patronage’ upon genders. The authors endeavour to articulate certain paradoxes that emerge such as an increased interests by students in Women’s studies education vs. the lack of interest among academic authority to integrate the WS’s programme within the academic curricula ; ongoing popularity of feminist theory as trans-, cross-disciplinary theory vs. the trend of fostering ‘pure’ captured disciplines ; discrepancy between the desire for feminist knowledge among young scholars and lack of strength of feminist activism. In addition, the paper opens up the question of how and to what extent the subversive aspects of feminist knowledge can be a resistant site in favour of social change, as well as to examine the feminist commitment for decolonizing knowledge crossing academia/alternative education dichotomy.
