Abstract
This chapter considers how memory operates within feminist rhetoric and politics, and what constitutes feminist activist memory. This chapter writes into the emerging corpus of scholarship on feminist activist memory, and develops a framework for feminist memory scholars and popular culture scholars that draws on hauntological theory and re-reading as spectral feminist methodology. This chapter argues that the spectral entanglements of feminist activist memory offer a blurring or breakdown in linear temporalities, and consequently demonstrate a future-oriented imbrication of past, present, and future. Feminist activist memory, this chapter suggests, is multidirectional and prosthetic, and its mediation through popular culture offers activist possibilities. Consequently, this chapter considers how memory—and specifically feminist memory—operates across popular culture in postmodernity, and what affordances this opens up for the mnemonic play with the past that feminist memories of the witch represent.
