"Seit 2011 fanden weltweit Demonstrationen statt, die sich unter der Bezeichnung SlutWalk artikulierten. Diese neue feministische Interventionsform nutzt dabei die ambivalente Strategie, sich den Begriff der slut visuell und sprachpolitisch anzueignen, um gegen Geschlechternormen zu protestieren. Der Beitrag skizziert das soziale Phänomen der SlutWalks und strebt an, diese Protestform feministisch zu kontextualisieren und die visuellen und sprachlichen Strategien als symbolische Politikformen zu erfassen. Hierzu wird Judith Butlers sprachpolitisches Modell der Resignifizierung hinsichtlich der Selbstbezeichnung slut erörtert. Diese Theoretisierung der sprachlich-subversiven Strategie wird auf der Ebene visueller und körperpolitischer Interventionen erweitert. Daran anschließend wird die Einbindung feministischer Diskurse in die neoliberale Ideologie unter dem Topos des Postfeminismus diskutiert." (Autorenreferat)

Feminism is an ideology and a humanistic philosophy that assimilate men and women for the uplift and development of the society. It also stands for the system of ideas which has to do with the changing conditions of women in the historic evolution of the human race. Feminism emerges as a concept that can encompass both an ideology and movement for socio political change based on a critical analysis of male privilege and women's subordination within any given society. It is the advocacy of social equality for men and women, in opposition to patriarchy and sexism.

Feminism in Turkey has reached a new exciting dimension in the last decade with the emergence of autonomous and multifarious female voices. Duygu Asena, an editor and novelist, has much to do with paving the way for the emergence of these voices. With her controversial writings and independent lifestyle, she is an icon of Turkish feminism, the Gloria Steinem of Turkish culture. As a proponent of staunch individualism, she has not allied herself with any group or movement. But through her editorials in Kadinca (Womanly) and two controversial novels, Kadinin Adi Yok (Woman Has No Name) and its sequel Aslinda Aşk da Yok (In Reality, Love Does Not Exist Either) that insist on female equality and autonomy, she has greatly shaped public opinion that has made possible the mobilization of other feminists.

In this article I would like to put forth my perspective on feminism. I do not claim to hold a universally acceptable vision nor do I claim to hold the solution to the undeniable gender gap that exists in many dimensions of our daily life. I simply want to present my ideas concerning this multidimensional issue as they stand today within the framework of my personal experiences.

"Instituting Feminism," this issue of OnCurating, reflects on the efforts of curators, artists, and community organisers to move beyond identifying inequities in the cultural industries to devising tools that can foster structural change. Exploring how curators have developed projects informed by feminist politics and aesthetics, contributors also look beyond representational formats to highlight the infrastructures and co-dependencies upon which cultural production relies. They understand that feminism's integration into the mainstream art world has been accompanied by a tokenistic "pink-washing," and thus raise questions about the terms under which gestures of "inclusion" and "participation" occur. Envisaging feminist instituting as an active, relational practice, articles discuss curatorial, artistic, and organisational initiatives that seek to forge alliances with struggles for ecological and social transformation. The projects and perspectives represented here foreground the need for new subjectivities, caring alliances, and support structures that offer alternatives to toxic contemporary labour conditions, including those endemic to art and curating. They hold out promise for more equitable and reciprocal ways of working, producing, and coexisting. by Helena Reckitt and Dorothee Richter

Comparing He-Yen Jhen's work to that of her Egyptian contemporary Malak Hifni Nasif allows lateral thinking across Asian and African societies on how feminists articulated their stances with regard to male counterparts in their own societies, as well as the shifting gender-differential practices of the Euro/American societies that they critically evaluated. Can such comparisons elicit shared vocabularies—and parallel silences—that help us to situate feminisms historically as both cosmopolitan and deeply local interventions in times and places marked by late imperial capitalism?
