'Global' science and conceptual lack: hegemonization of scientific spaces through the prism of feminist theory

ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Kot izhodisce je vzet koncept intersekcionalnosti kot interakcije med spolom in drugimi kategorijami razlike. A ta razlika se (spet) izkazuje kot nezadostno teoretizirana, kljub nacelnemu feministicnemu pripoznanju, da so izkljucitve v oblikovanju feministicne vednosti igrale tako resno vlogo. Multiplo pozicioniranje le redko vkljucuje oblastna razmerja na poenostavljeni evropski osi vzhod-zahod - to »odrinjanje na rob« ni dovolj problematizirano v hegemoni (zirajoci) anglo-ameriski feministicni teoriji. To izhodisce je postavljeno kot relevantno za dva problemska sklopa, ki imata pomembno vlogo pri globalni legitimizaciji »delanja znanosti« in oblikovanja intelektualne agende. Prvi problem je konceptualne narave - kako univerzalni ali kulturno zaznamovani/doloceni so pojmi, kategorije ipd., ki jih uporablja feministicna teorija? In drugic, kako prevlada dolocenega kulturnega prostora in jezika (v nasem primeru anglescine) vpliva na razvoj znanosti in diseminacijo rezultatov? Obstojece taksonomije akademske odlicnosti in kvalitete zaznamuje dominantnost nekaterih v znanstveni skupnosti. Za konec pa pogledamo, kako se vse to odraza v aktualni slovenski raziskovalni politiki - kako ta preko svojih razpisnih pogojev in meril »objektivno« definira dobrega raziskovalca oziroma dobro raziskovalko in doloca moznosti njihovega delovanja. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: The concept of intersectionality is taken as a starting point - intersectionality as an interaction between gender and other categories of difference. It is demonstrated that this difference is (yet) again insufficiently theorized, regardless of the declarative feminist acknowledgement that the exclusions played such a distressing role in the formation of the feminist scholarship. Multiple positioning only rarely includes power relations along the East-West European axis - this `periphering' is not theorised appropriately in hegemonic/hegemonizing Anglo-American feminist theory. This starting point leads furthermore to two issues that play an important part in the legitimization of `science-making' and the formation of the intellectual agenda. The first problem is of a conceptual nature - how universally or culturally marked are the concepts, categories etc. that are used by feminist theory? Secondly, how does the dominance of the certain cultural space and language (English) influence the development of science and the dissemination of scientific results. The existing taxonomies of aca
