| Summary: | This article considers the problem of white feminism and how it is narrated. Part One argues that common strategies for solving this problem focus on reforming white feminist subjectivity; although these strategies have not achieved their desired effects, they remain popular because they narratively satisfy demands of feminist storytelling. They thus become traps. Part Two turns to literary studies for a methodological reorientation for Christian theology: away from ethics as a redemptive project pursued at the site of white feminist subjectivity, and toward a critical project that understands white womanhood as a textual figure in need of ongoing interpretation. |
