Public online guest lecture at the Göttingen Diversity Research Institute
Prof. Angela McRobbie (Goldsmiths)
22nd December 2022 // 12:00 – 14:00 // Zoom
"Drawing on the conjunctural methodologies of the late Stuart Hall this lecture reflects on a number of figurations of normative femininity which have functioned as forms of popular governmentality predicated first on the instituting of a moment (1997-2007) of post-feminism, where feminist campaigning and activism were repudiated as belonging in the past, to more recent times, (2008-2018) with ‘feminism’ now seemingly tolerated and even granted a place within the consumer culture of contemporary capitalism. The lecture considers the power and impact of these various ‘figuration’s as they resonate across the popular culture and social media."
