| The recognition of a discipline within the academy necessitates some conformity to pre-established parameters and priorities, such as accepted research methods and the dictates of academic fashion. Hence the paradoxical position of women's studies: it is increasingly at risk of losing touch with the movement to which it owes its existence, and often ends up reinforcing assumptions it purportedly set out to challenge. A striking example of this double problem, in western English-speaking countries, is the academic representation of "French feminism" as synonymous with postmodernism and as almost entirely limited to the work of a few academics whose connection with feminism is at best highly questionable. This is both reductionist and dangerous, as it masks both the diversity of feminist debate and practice in France and the problems of manipulation, disinformation and lack of access to a public forum which plague both Frenche feminists and some areas of English-speaking feminist scholarship. | |
