This study is to examine the nature of a postmodern feminism as an encounter of
postmodernism with feminism, and to explore its educational implication. The study
mainly deals with Gilles Deleuze's body politics and Elizabeth Grosz's corporeal
feminism, both of which have been regarded as big theoretical streams investigating the
problems of body/mind, male/female relations.
The study is composed of three parts. Firstly, it examines Gilles Deleuze's body
politics through his well-known concepts, the body without organs and
becoming-woman, because Gilles Deleuze can be regarded as a prominent postmodern
philosopher dealing with the binary relations of body/mind, male/female, and so on.
Secondly, it also analyzes Elizabeth Grosz's corporeal feminism, which directly deals
with the binary opposition of body/mind, male/female. In the analysis, the study
focuses on the question of how the binary oppositions such as body/mind and
male/female could be understood, and whether the opposition could be abolished
meaningfully. Thirdly, the implication of the postmodern feminism as an encounter of
Gilles Deleuze's body politics with Elizabeth Grosz's corporeal feminism for both
education and schooling in our society would be explored.
