Summary/Abstract: The text „Politics and Discourses of Contemporary Feminisms: the Modalities of Perhaps“ researches some new possibilities of achieving a difference within the feminist politics and strategies after their three- phased development, and also after the postfeminist time of autoreflexive critic and recontextualization of feminist theses. Using the poststructuralist, text-oriented and already present feminist platforms, this text points to the necessity of rethinking and reconfiguration of the questions of feminist issues, as well as the issues of gender, sexuality, identity and also the issues of political itself which has to be rethought outside of the „community“ dynamics that too often slips into the friend: enemy tension. In the end, this text considers and theorizes the potential of the modality perhaps, which unravels itself in openness towards the dialogical relations of feminisms with the systems of language, writing and social/ cultural realities inside which it exists and (re)acts.
