Abstract

This article seeks to advance scholarship on conflict in feminist organizations. Using the theoretical framework on agonistic conflict of Chantal Mouffe, it analyzes a conflict about racism that arose in a feminist lesbian, bi and trans social movement organization, located in Paris (France). The main contribution lies in offering a framework to analyze the mechanisms that prevented this conflict from constructively fostering the intersectional politics of the feminist organization. The ethnographic findings show that the organization's inability to challenge its racism and whiteness is linked to its post-political vision of feminism, which translates into attempts to suppress conflict related to multiple and competing identifications. Thus, this article contributes to existing research on conflict in feminist organizing by suggesting that the subduing of conflict associated with such a post-political vision of feminism prevents feminist organizing from being “anti-oppressive”.

为什么种族冲突是女权组织的不归路?
本文旨在推动有关女权组织冲突的学术研究。文章利用尚塔尔-穆夫(Chantal Mouffe)的激辩冲突理论框架,分析了位于法国巴黎的一个女权主义女同性恋、双性恋和变性者社会运动组织中出现的有关种族主义的冲突。其主要贡献在于提供了一个框架,用于分析阻碍这一冲突建设性地促进女权组织交叉政治的机制。人种学研究结果表明,该组织无法挑战其种族主义和白人身份,这与其对女权主义的后政治观点有关,而这种观点又试图压制与多重和相互竞争的身份认同有关的冲突。因此,本文对现有关于女权组织中冲突的研究做出了贡献,指出与这种后政治视角的女权主义相关的冲突抑制阻碍了女权组织的 "反压迫性"。
