本文回顾了后女性主义概念的10年后，其制定的关键条款作为一种感性特征的文化生活。这篇文章有两个主要的目的：第一，反思后女性主义作为一个关键术语-作为女性主义学术词汇的一部分-第二，讨论后女性主义作为一种感性的当前特征。文章的第一部分讨论了这个词的非凡吸收，并认为它在一个变化的背景下的持续相关性，其特点是深刻矛盾的趋势，包括对女权主义的兴趣的复苏，以及厌女症，种族主义，同性恋恐惧症和民族主义的壮观的能见度。我的文件越来越多地关注后女性主义的特殊性，包括试图映射其时间阶段，其相关性的地方，和交叉发展的术语。文章的第二部分考察了当代后女性主义情感的轮廓。我认为，后女性主义已经加强了对当代生活的控制，并成为霸权。与十年前相比，它更难被认为是一种新颖而独特的情感，因为它体现了一种作为一种性别化的新自由主义运作的常识。它在当代文化中传播和加强，并且越来越依赖于一种心理登记，这种登记是围绕培养在新自由主义社会中生存的正确的“性格”而建立的：自信，弹性和积极的精神态度。后女性主义的这些情感、文化和心理特征共同发挥了强大的调节力。这篇文章是纪念该杂志成立20周年的特刊《在移动中》的一部分。它还在《欧洲文化遗产杂志》上负责一个关于后女权主义的特别在线档案。
This article revisits the notion of postfeminism' 10 years after its formulation in critical terms as a sensibility characterizing cultural life. The article has two broad aims: first to reflect upon postfeminism as a critical term - as part of the lexicon of feminist scholarship - and second to discuss the current features of postfeminism as a sensibility. The first part of the article discusses the extraordinary uptake of the term and considers its continuing relevance in a changed context marked by deeply contradictory trends, including the resurgence of interest in feminism, alongside the spectacular visibility of misogyny, racism, homophobia and nationalism. I document a growing attention to the specificities of postfeminism, including attempts to map its temporal phases, its relevance to place, and intersectional developments of the term. The second part of the article examines the contours of the contemporary postfeminist sensibility. I argue that postfeminism has tightened its hold upon contemporary life and become hegemonic. Compared with a decade ago, it is much more difficult to recognize as a novel and distinctive sensibility, as it instantiates a common sense that operates as a kind of gendered neoliberalism. It has both spread out and intensified across contemporary culture and is becoming increasingly dependent upon a psychological register built around cultivating the right' kinds of dispositions for surviving in neoliberal society: confidence, resilience and positive mental attitude. Together these affective, cultural and psychic features of postfeminism exert a powerful regulatory force. This article forms part of On the Move', a special issue marking the twentieth anniversary of the journal. It also heads up a special online dossier on Postfeminism in the European Journal of Cultural Studies'.
