Intersectional Feminist Theory as a Non-Ideal Theory: Asian American Women Navigating Identity and Power 2023

Y. Kong

This philosophical examination argues that intersectional feminism functions as a strong version of non-ideal theory, focusing on the multiply oppressed to understand how intersecting structures of oppression work and generate strategies for dismantling them. Through analyzing Asian American women's experiences navigating identity and power, the paper reveals three characteristic types of identity-power relationships: manifestation of oppression through identity construction, reproduction of oppression, and creation of resistance and solidarity through identity reconstruction.

But the empress has no clothes! Some awkward questions about the 'missing revolution' in feminist theory 2000

Liz Stanley & Sue Wise

This provocative 2000 article challenges the state of contemporary feminist theory, arguing that while feminist epistemology, methodology and ethics have undergone revolutionary transformation, feminist theory remains trapped within parallel structures to mainstream/malestream social theory. Stanley and Wise call for a fundamental feminist autocritique and the development of feminist metatheory.

Feminist Epistemology and Value 2000

Alison Assiter

This 2000 article by Alison Assiter develops a distinctive approach to feminist epistemology centered on the concepts of 'emancipatory values' and 'epistemic communities.' Assiter argues that knowledge production is fundamentally shaped by the values of the communities in which it occurs, and that feminist epistemology should focus on creating communities whose values promote emancipation rather than oppression. The paper offers a modernist feminist epistemology that is collective rather than individualist, value-centered rather than value-neutral.
