This Discipline Which Is Not One : Feminist Studies as a Post-Discipline

•  The chapter discusses how, on the one hand, feminist theorizing leads towards radical multi-, inter-, trans- and postdisciplinarity, while, on the other hand, the field is so well-developed and established by now that it can pass and claim academic authority as a discipline. Against this background, the author discusses how different feminist epistemological positions may lead to different dilemmas and approaches to the question of disciplining. Drawing on the epistem-ontological framework of feminist scholar Karen Barad and locating herself in a postconstructionist position, she explores problems and potentials of a definition of the area as a postdisciplinary discipline or post-discipline.
