女性主义媒体研究，生日快乐！热烈祝贺丽莎·麦克劳克林和辛西娅·卡特十年来编辑这份极其重要的杂志。作为一贯有趣的研究和讨论场所，该期刊在构成研究领域并成为每个对性别和媒体感兴趣的人的“必读”目的地方面发挥了关键作用。我很高兴庆祝《华尔街日报》创刊十周年，并见证其不断发展壮大。我要对辛西娅和丽莎作为编辑不知疲倦地工作表示感谢，也感谢他们给我机会为这一特别周年纪念版撰稿。我选择将我的文章命名为：“是时候再次发怒了”，并打算就“这一领域的现状”提供一些简短的思考。这些必然是有选择性的--忽略了许多重要的东西--而且还相当有争议性。我将辩称，我们需要再次开始讨论性别歧视，并呼吁(重新)转向更政治化、跨部门、跨国和结合的思维，我认为，这也应该关注权力的心理社会维度。十年前，凯瑟琳·维纳(Katherine Viner，1999)警告说，女权主义学术研究有完全失去政治性的危险，陷入了用过于复杂和晦涩的语言的“高级理论”，变得“在概念上复杂到非政治化的程度”(第3页)。在接下来的内容中，我想要论证的是，概念的复杂性和女权主义政治不一定是相互排斥的。我想呼吁人们注意复杂性、微妙之处和细微差别，这些能够而且应该帮助和促进一个女权主义项目，而不是使其去政治化。
Happy birthday, Feminist Media Studies! And warm congratulations to Lisa McLaughlin and Cynthia Carter for a decade of editing this hugely important journal. The site of consistently interesting research and discussion, the journal has played a key role in constituting the field of study and becoming a critical space and “must read” destination for everyone interested in gender and the media. It gives me great pleasure to celebrate the journal’s tenth birthday and to witness it going from strength to strength, and I would like to express my appreciation to Cynthia and Lisa for their tireless work as editors, and also for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this special anniversary edition. I have chosen to title my piece: “It’s time to get angry again,” and aim to offer some brief reflections on “the state of the field.” These are necessarily selective—ignoring much that is important—and also rather polemical. I will argue that we need to start talking about sexism again, and call for a (re)turn to more politicised, intersectional, transnational and conjunctural thinking, which should also—I contend—pay attention to the psychosocial dimensions of power. Ten years ago, Katherine Viner (1999) warned that feminist academic research was in danger of losing its politics completely, falling into “High Theory” with overly complex and obscurantist language and becoming “conceptually sophisticated to the point of depoliticisation” (p. 3). In what follows I want to argue that conceptual sophistication and feminist politics need not be mutually exclusive. I want to make a plea for an attention to complexities, subtleties, and nuances that can and should aid and inform a feminist project, not depoliticise it.
