ABSTRACT

The question of postmodern feminist economics is, to paraphrase Judith Butler (1992), surely a question. Is there, after all, something we could call by that name? Does it refer to a particular theoretical position, a form of politics, or a set of stylistic conventions? Is this a label that an economist takes on for herself, or is it more often a name that she is called when she engages in a critique of the rational economic subject, a challenge to traditional epistemology, or a discursive analysis of economic literature?
