摘要 在本文中，我们批判性地考虑了女权主义在国际关系学科中表现失败的观点。这一失败的一个方面与通过女权主义产生性性别有关，我们认为这在一定程度上造成了女权主义学术的疲倦，特别是作为一种重要的理论资源。我们在国际政治研究和实践的背景下反思这种厌倦——自 9/11 以来，国际政治领域仍然从回荡的阳刚政治能量中获益。为了说明我们的论点，我们重述了一个熟悉的女权主义军事化寓言——我们用这个故事来举例说明女权主义国际关系的产生如何“注定”会“失败”。通过这样做，我们澄清了我们对女权主义的描述，认为女权主义似乎受到其固有悖论的困扰，并解释了为什么在国际政治学术研究的范围内讨论女权主义很重要。最后，我们考虑了时间性的语法，它界定了女权主义的表现，并将女权主义的失败重新塑造为疑难杂症，并伴随着政治干预的过程。
Abstract In this article we critically consider the idea that feminism has performatively failed within the discipline of International Relations. One aspect of this failure relates to the production of sexgender through feminism which we suggest is partly responsible for a weariness inflecting feminist scholarship, in particular as a critical theoretical resource. We reflect on this weariness in the context of the study and practice of international politics – arenas still reaping the potent benefits of the virile political energies reverberating since 9/11. To illustrate our arguments we re-count a familiar feminist fable of militarisation – a story which we use to exemplify how the production of feminist IR is ‘set’ up to ‘fail’. In so doing we clarify our depiction of feminism as seemingly haunted by its inherent paradoxes as well as explaining why it matters to discuss feminism within the locale of the academic study of international politics. We conclude with a consideration of the grammar of temporality that delimits representations of feminism and move to recast feminist failure as aporetic and concomitantly implicated in the process of intervening politically.
