Feminismus und Antirassismus – another unhappy marriage? Der Diskurs um »kulturelle Gewalt« und die Möglichkeiten transnationaler feministischer Solidarität

Abstract

The political commitment against male violence seems to f lourish in postfeminist times in order to legitimize racist immigration politics. In the article, we analyze current discourses on »cultural violence« in the context of a neoliberal migration regime and transformations in the realm of reproduction. We critically engage with Liz Fekete’s analysis of »enlightenment values« in racist discourses and Sara Farris’ (2011) work on the political economy of »femonationalism« in order to specify the role feminism plays in the current political constellation. In this context, we discuss actual possibilities of transnational feminist solidarity.
