Abstract

With her collection, Gudrun-Axeli Knapp presents an impressive and exceptionally extensive retrospective on 25 years of feminist theorizing. The volume is subdivided into four subject areas, which deal with femininity criticism, feminist appropriations of critical theory, intersectionality, and the question of the nature of feminist (theoretical) criticism. The author does not only impress with her thorough yet also provocative argumentations and examinations of the terrain of feminist theory; but the figure of thought that she traces across all articles and that coins the collection’s title is also very appealing: “in conflict”. In doing so, Knapp does also outline aims and objectives of feminist criticism.
