[영문]The issues of cultural difference and relativism remain fraught ones in feminist teaching and research. Transnational feminists based in the United States have grappled with the question of how to work across national borders without reinforcing colonial tropes and practices (Mohanty 1988, 2003; Grewal and Kaplan 1994, 2001). Feminist scholars have criticized the way particular gendered practices of postcolonial societies are singled out as representing the society writ large, exoticized and sensationalized, while practices that are either more egalitarian or more familiar to a U.S. audience remain invisible. For example, they have eloquently critiqued discourses of sati and dowry (Narayan 1997, 1998), veiling (Abu?Lughod 2002), and female circumcision (Nnaemeka 2005). In my view, however, feminist scholars have yet to fully address the challenges of cross?border analysis.
