Modernism without Women: The Refusal of Becoming-Woman (and Post-Feminism)

  • Claire Colebrook

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Just as becoming-woman is a divided concept, looking back to a seemingly redemptive figure of the feminine beyond rigid being, but also forward to a positive annihilation of fixed genders, so modernism was also a doubled movement. But modernism was a pulverisation of ‘the’ subject for the sake of a plural and multiplying point of view, and like ‘becoming-woman’, should be read as a defiant and affirmative refusal.
