Bei Artikulationen von Feldakteur*innen ansetzend nimmt dieser Beitrag Bezugnahmen auf (anti‑)feministische Diskurse in den Blick. Ziel ist die Annäherung an Subjektivierungspotenziale, die mit der Kategorie Geschlecht interferierenden Diskursen inhärent sind. Dafür galt es zunächst jedoch die Frage aufzuwerfen, von welchen "Feminismen" und "Antifeminismen" auf der Ebene des Alltags überhaupt die Rede sein kann.

The aim of this article is to introduce a mother-centred mode of feminism—what I have called "matricentric feminism"—to consider the context and challenges of a mother-centred feminist theory and politics, and to suggest directions for future research. Motherhood, it could be said, is the unfinished business of feminism. Matricentric feminism seeks to make motherhood the business of feminism by positioning mothers' needs and concerns as the starting point for a theory and politics on and for women's empowerment. This repositioning is not to suggest that a matricentric feminism should replace traditional feminist thought; rather, it is to emphasize that the category of mother is distinct from the category of woman and that many of the problems mothers face—social, economic, political, cultural, psychological, and so forth—are specific to women's roles and identity as mothers. Indeed, mothers are oppressed under patriarchy as women and as mothers. Consequently, mothers need a matricentric mode of feminism organized from and for their particular identity and work as mothers. Indeed, a mother-centred feminism is needed because mothers—arguably more so than women in general—remain disempowered despite forty years of feminism. My work does not rationalize or defend the need for a mother-centred feminism, as it takes it as a given. Instead, this article endeavours to describe and discuss this mode of mother-focused feminism, which has emerged as a result of and in response to women's specific identities andwork as mothers.

Der Beitrag versucht, vor allem unter Bezugnahme auf frühere Beiträge in dieser Zeitschrift, die Entwicklung eines sozialistischen Konzepts zur Analyse der Lage der Frauen in ihren Grundzügen nachzuzeichnen. (DÜI-Hns)

What does it mean to decolonize transnational feminist theory in the context of globalization? As a project concerned with multiple power structures, feminist theory must address the historical legacies of colonialism, postcolonialism, and more recently, decoloniality. This book offers essays organized around a coherent set of research questions about how to conceptualize an inclusive feminist politics. This has been, and continues to be, a central project in feminist theory, particularly in light of neoliberal globalization
