| Abstract |
This lecture is part of Queer and Feminist Movements in Asia Series – Exploring the Possibility of Queering the Boundaries of “Asia.” In recent years, there has been much discussion of ‘transnational feminism’ (or ‘transnational feminisms’), that is feminist actions which are not constrained by the boundaries of the nation-state. There are some feminist issues (involving government policies, for example), which are appropriately addressed to the government of one nation-state. There are other feminist issues, however, which necessarily cross borders: such as issues to do with migration, imperialism, multinational capitalism. Wherever feminists have attempted to deal with such issues with their sisters in other countries they have been engaged in ‘transnational feminism’, or ‘feminism beyond the nation-state’. Such actions have a longer history than might seem apparent at first sight. This talk will survey some examples of ‘feminism(s) beyond the nation-state’ from the late twentieth century to the present. |
