  Abstract:  “Transfeminizing Postfeminism: Acker Re-Writes the Trans-, Baise-Moi Re-Reads the Post-”. Through the discussion of Kathy Acker’s novels Great Expectations (1982) and In Memoriam to Identity (1990), and Virginie Despentes´s film Baise Moi, this article discusses the different ramifications of postfeminism—in particular, transfeminism. Space is used here to reveal—and contest—new forms of women objectification.

Keywords: Postfeminism, body and space, multiplicity, transfeminism, Kathy Acker.
