Question:

Can aporetic disjunctives of inter-contextual post-feminist dilemmas and trilemmas be deconstructed ?

Please consider how Derridean or Baudrillardean methodologies could help to achieve the goal.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is amusing that you pose this particular conundrum, as it bears a striking resemblance to one of my recent crepuscular cerebral ruminations.

I personally would find the proposition of further deconstruction of post-feminist dilemmas to be dubious one at best. After all, what is post-feminism itself other than a desconstructivist reaction and questioning of the validity of Baudrillardean hyperreal portrayals of femininity within feminism itself? We can see this in subsets of the post-feminism whole which question genetic determinism in sexuality and identity. In that sense, further deconstruction is only concievable if post-feminism has failed in this objective as a whole.

Perhaps some effort might yet be expended on peripheral systems, such as the name 'feminism' itself, with its very non-relative implications. Still, I'm not inclined to suggest that such less-material - if not immateral - concerns weaken the post-feminist meme significantly.
