Postfeminism and gothic were originally two much debated and controversial concepts, but with the appearance of postfeminism and the revival of the gothic, these two concepts have been combined into a new concept “Postfeminist Gothic”. This paper reviews the source of the “Postfeminist Gothic”, examines and differentiates the relationship and meaning of the prefix “post” and feminism, feminism and postfeminism, postfeminism and gothic. Then it points out that postfeminism and Gothic are linked by their eschewal of a binary logic and their anxiety about meaning. “Postfeminist Gothic” moves beyond the Female Gothic with its historical associations with second wave feminism and female/feminine victimisation and it circumscribes a new space for critical exchange that re-examines notions of gender, agency and oppression. Through a discriminative analysis of “Postfeminist Gothic”, in fact, this paper traces back and clarifies the development from gothic, feminism, female gothic, postfeminism to postfeminist gothic.
