The aim of this research is a novel exploration of modern mechanisms through which women aredominated in Western neoliberalism. While it is often assumed that there has been a real progress ongender equality in recent decades, I will examine (i) the specific mechanisms through which women aredominated in neoliberalism, (ii) the new challenges that a politics aimed both at the self-determination ofwomen and at a collective transformation of their conditions of existence faces in our era, and (iii) thetools that can be used to respond to these challenges.My focus will concern the ideal of the entrepreneurial-self, a social identity that individuals in neoliberalsocieties are encouraged to embrace. In analysing this ideal, I will proceed in two steps. Firstly, I shallexamine how the neoliberal concept of entrepreneurship, whilst appealing to the language of autonomyand self-determination, generates gendered oppression and undermines collective liberation. Secondly, Ishall analyse the specific form of neoliberal rationality underpinning this ideal. Key to this will be (i)uncovering the foundations of this rationality in modern philosophical accounts of subjectivity and (ii)revealing alternative ways of understanding the subject offered by contemporary feminist theory. I willthus examine how the modern account of the subject shapes the self-understanding of neoliberalentrepreneurial-selves and leads them to view 'others' in general, and women specifically, as resourcesto be utilised, disciplined and objectified. Following this, I shall explore how a different view of subjectivitymight allow us to overcome neoliberal ideals and the subjugations they engender.

本研究的目的是对西方新自由主义中女性被支配的现代机制进行新的探索。虽然人们常常认为近几十年来在性别平等方面取得了真实的进展，但我将研究（i）妇女在新自由主义中占主导地位的具体机制，（ii）旨在妇女自决和集体改变其生存条件的政治在我们这个时代面临的新挑战，以及（iii）可以用来应对这些挑战的工具。我的关注点将是自我意识的理想，这是一种鼓励新自由主义社会中的个人接受的社会身份。在分析这一理想时，我将分两步进行。首先，我将分析新自由主义的创业概念，在诉诸自由和自决的语言的同时，如何产生性别压迫并破坏集体解放。其次，我将分析支撑这一理想的新自由主义理性的具体形式。这一点的关键将是（i）揭示这种合理性的基础，在现代哲学帐户的主体性和（ii）揭示替代方式理解的主题提供了当代女权主义理论。因此，我将研究如何现代帐户的主题形状的新自由主义的自我的自我理解，并导致他们把“他人”一般，特别是妇女，作为资源来利用，纪律和客观化。在此之后，我将探讨一种不同的主观性观点如何使我们能够克服新自由主义理想及其产生的征服。
