Abstract
The purpose of this article is to reflect on the way narratives are produced in contemporary feminism dominated by the paradigmatic split between feminist and queer theory. This results not only in the inability to produce new concepts revealing the common genealogies of feminism and queer, but also in an internal division within social movements. Meanwhile, French feminist theory from the 1970s provides evidence that the epistemological rupture thesis is untenable. Paradoxically, it is gender difference, based on and at the same time transcending the psychoanalytic model, that contains the queer potential capable of breaking this impasse. The discovery of this common heritage of feminism and queer could therefore abound in new alliances and solidarities, not only at the theoretical level. Keywords: French feminism, queer theory, gender difference, bisexuality
