Abstract

This article analyzes the intricate relationship between feminism and critique, as it is played out in interviews conducted with self-identified Swedish feminists. It discusses how the informants describe feminism as a critical endeavour and understand feminists as critical subjects in connection to the neo-liberal context in which the informants articulate their feminist position and identity. It also analyzes how the informants understand critique as something that both complicates and enables feminist politics, relating the discussion to a conceptualization of the political – underlying the work of Wendy Brown, Chantal Mouffe and Nancy Fraser – as a combination of ongoing agonistic struggles and formations of collective normative projects based on discursive exclusions.
