Gender, subjectivity, life at the limit. Searching for feminism in the time of crisis
Abstract
The article analyses the concept of gender from the perspective of the biopolitical dimension of the existing crisis, using the approaches defined by G. Agamben for the sfare of exception, J. Butler on precarious life and A. Athanassiou, on life at the limit. Given the evolving research on the deterioration of women's position as a result of the crisis -arising from changes in the labour market, the shrinking of the welfare state and the intensity of a commodification of the representation of women in the modern system of technologies of image- the article stipulates that we can detect new hypotheses and approaches concerning the content of gender inequality as well as of the feminist discourse/es which are opposed to it.
