Postdisciplinary diffraction patterns in  feminist debates on intersectional sex/gender, power and difference

• This key note address explores  the notion of diffraction and diffractive readings as a potentially useful methodology within the framework of Feminist Studies understood as a postdicisplinary discipline, i.e. as field of research  which  can pass as a discipline, but which as the same time promotes a radical deconstruction of disciplinary boundaries.  As part of the argument, the paper discusses postdisciplinarity as a feminist figuration, i.e. as a critique of  current divisions and cuts between human, social and natural sciences,  but also as a stance which includes affirmative  visions about an otherwise organized futurity. The paper highlightsdiffraction as a useful thinking technology within the postdisciplinary discipline of Feminist Studies, using examples  from feminist debates on  intersectional sex/gender, power and difference.
