Ps-feminismo
Resumo
esumo: Partindo do verbete sobre ps-feminismo do Dicionrio da Crtica Feminista (organizado
por Ana Gabriela Macedo e Ana Lusa Amaral), proponho a discusso do conceito de ps-
feminismo no isoladamente, mas antes por aposio a outros termos e conceitos que de algum
modo clarificam a natureza complexa do debate em torno deste termo: contra-feminismo, ps-
feminismo, contra-dico, diferena, imagem, ginocrtica, corpo, ciberfeminismo. Defendo que
vivemos no contexto de uma variedade de feminismos plurais, e que o seu discurso oposicional
e de resistncia ainda, no mundo de hoje, de total pertinncia.
Palavras-chave

Postfeminism
Abstract: Departing from the entry on Postfeminism in the Dicionrio da Crtica Feminista (edited
Abstract
by Ana Gabriela Macedo and Ana Lusa Amaral), I discuss the meaning of the concept not in
isolation, but in affiliation with other concepts which somehow help to understand the complexity
of this debate, e.g., Counter-feminism, Postmodernism, Counter-diction, Difference; Body; Image;
Gynocritics, Cyberfeminism. I defend that despite all odds, Feminism still stands as a fundamental
counter-diction, a much needed oppositional discourse in our day and age.
