Abstract

This article establishes a dialogue between the proposals of Gayatri SPivak and Taiwanese scholar A-Wu. Through exposing the tensions, relationships, and negotiations between feminism in Taiwan and the imperialist pressures that shape the identity of the island, the author proposes ways for mutual criticism between feminists groups to negotiate productively with the universalization and the untranslatability that occur within transnational feminist gatherings.
