Plenary Session Speech 全体会议 (2): Gender and Populism 性别与民粹主义

Moderator: Dusica Ristivojevic, University of Helsinki

Wang Zheng, Prof. Emeritus, History and Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Michigan

  • Topic: Feminist Positioning in a Time of Shifting Geopolitical Terrains
  • Update! (Nov 3): Draft script and slides / 讲稿与PPT [download PDF]
  • Abstract: This presentation will examine how the rising masculinist power of the CCP in the context of capitalist globalization has drastically changed the social and political environment for feminist activism in China, and how it has also generated new global power dynamics to such an extent that many key analytical concepts born in the 20th century have lost its explanatory power in the 21st century. Unaware of the rapidly shifting geopolitical terrains, some Western intellectuals including feminists hold fast to post-colonialism or Cold War theories in conceptualizing China today. A critical focus in this talk will be on the misrepresentation of today’s China as a “socialist country” in some of the left-oriented literature in the US, including feminist writings. The pernicious transnational effects of such misrepresentation will be analyzed with an emphasis on the necessity for transnational feminists’ repositioning and reconceptualization. 

Katja Kahlina, Principal Investigator, Sexuality and Democracy Project, University of Helsinki

  • Topic: Populism and Anti-gender Mobilization in Europe
