Abstract:

This afterword to the special issue on ‘Women’s Agency in Early Modern Europe’ takes up the question of agency from a posthumanist perspective, asking not how we can expand or extend the concept of agency beyond the (male) human, but instead whether we as scholars of early modern women might not be in a position to consider ourselves ‘after’ a focus on agency. It explores challenges to the overvaluation of agency, and reviews different ways the articles in the special issue offer challenges to the concept of agency, or methodologies for thinking beyond agency.

近代早期欧洲的妇女机构之后

摘要：

《早期现代欧洲的妇女能动性》特刊的后记从后人类主义的角度探讨了能动性问题，不是问我们如何将能动性的概念扩展到（男性）人类之外，而是问我们是否研究早期现代女性的学者可能无法认为我们“在”关注代理之后。它探讨了对机构高估的挑战，并回顾了特刊中的文章对机构概念或超越机构的思考方法提出挑战的不同方式。
