Iris van der Tuin redirects the notion of generational logic in
feminism away from its simplistic conception as conflict.
Generational logic is said to problematize feminist theory and
gender research as it follows a logic of divide and conquer between
the old and the young and participates in patriarchal structures
and phallologocentrism. Examining the continental philosophies of
Bergson and Deleuze and French feminisms of sexual difference, van
der Tuin paves the way for a more complex notion of
generationality. This new conception of the term views generational
cohorts as static measurements that happen in the flow of being.
Prioritizing this generative flow gives what is measured its proper
place as an effect. Generational Feminism: New Materialist
Introduction to a Generative Approach experiments with a previously
disregarded methodology's implications as an impetus for a new
materialism and advances feminist politics for the twenty-first
century.
