25 years aft er the publication of Elisabeth Bronfen's infl uential book Over Her Dead Body: Death, Femininity and the Aesthetic, this symposium revisits the theoretical creativity, playfulness and potential of 1990s feminism and gender studies. A quarter of a century later, and in the face of 21st-century turmoil, ba� lashes and protests, how can we reevaluate our feminist positions, what aspects need to be upheld, what concepts need to be reassessed? For this timely conversation, we have invited an illustrious, international group of intellectuals to discuss questions concerning the relationship between feminism, aesthetics, representation, and rhetorics, the shift s and � anges – for bett er or for worse – that have occurred between the 1990s and today, as well as potential visions for the future
