Qu’est-il arrivé à la recherche et à la théorie féministe dans notre culture universitaire néolibérale ? Les transformations globales et nationales dans l’activisme du mouvement social et les projets de recherche féministe ont-ils dépolitisé les projets intellectuels féministes, antiracistes, femmes-de-couleur1 et transnationaux ? J’examine ici les diverses façons dont mon propre travail a voyagé et ce qu’il a perdu (et trouvé) en étant traduit dans différents contextes, pour offrir quelques réflexions sur les effets des paysages géopolitiques néolibéraux obsédés par la sécurité nationale et sur les cadres intellectuels postmodernes, ainsi que sur la théorisation féministe intersectionnelle et le travail de solidarité transnationale. La façon dont mon travail a été adapté et développé dans certaines communautés de chercheuses et d’activistes féministes marginalisées me semble offrir notamment d’intéressantes leçons pour nous toutes, les féministes universitaires, en indiquant les limites des projets de savoirs féministes postmodernes dans l’Université néolibérale.

merged in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Through personal essays, criticism, interviews, testimonials, poetry, and visual art, the collection explores, as coeditor Cherríe Moraga writes, the complex confluence of identities--race, class, gender, and sexuality--systemic to women of color oppression and liberation. Reissued here, forty years after its inception, this anniversary edition contains a new preface by Moraga reflecting on Bridge's living legacy and the broader community of women of color activists, writers, and artists whose enduring contributions dovetail with its radical vision. Further features help set the volume's historical context, including an extended introduction by Moraga from the 2015 edition, a statement written by Gloria Anzaldúa in 1983, and visual art produced during the same period by Betye Saar, Ana Mendieta, Yolanda López, and others, curated by their contemporary, artist Celia Herrera Rodríguez. Bridge continues to reflect an evolving definition of feminism, one that can effectively adapt to and help inform an understanding of the changing economic and social conditions of women of color in the United States and throughout the world.

An ethnographic exploration of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) refugee claimants' experiences of navigating the complex discourses, protocols, practices and personnel of Canada's refugee determination system. "How do I prove I'm gay?" This is the central question for many refugee claimants who are claiming asylum on the basis of sexual orientation persecution. But what are the inherent challenges in obtaining this proof? How is the system that assesses this predicated upon homonormative frameworks and nervous borders? What is the impact of gender, race and class? What is an `authentic' sexual or gender identity and how can it be performed? Real Queer? is an ethnographic examination of the Canadian refugee apparatus analysing the social, cultural, political and affective dimensions of a legal and bureaucratic process predicated on separating the `authentic' from the `bogus' LGBT refugee. Through interviews, conversations and participant observation with various participants ranging from refugee claimants to their lawyers, Refugee Protection Division staff and local support group workers, it reveals the ways in which sexuality simultaneously disrupts and is folded into the nation-state's dynamic modes of gate-keeping, citizenship and identity-making, and the uneven effects of these discourses and practices on this category of transnational migrants

HE MASK YOU LIVE IN follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men. Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.

L’article examine les rapports de domination au sein du féminisme majoritaire francophone bruxellois que dénoncent des féministes minoritaires. Une première partie décrit le processus de construction politique du groupe des femmes minoritaires établi sur la base de la confession (réelle ou supposée) et de la couleur de la peau. La deuxième partie présente le paysage complexe du féminisme francophone et son approche des femmes minoritaires et de leurs préoccupations, tandis que la troisième met en relief les résistances des féministes minoritaires à la domination et leur influence sur la reconfiguration des organisations féministes. La dernière partie s’appuie sur des témoignages de féministes minoritaires pour illustrer les tensions et les controverses. En conclusion, l’article propose des pistes pour tenter de dépasser les antagonismes qui divisent et paralysent le mouvement féministe bruxellois.

Le présent document fait état des résultats d’une enquête exploratoire effectuée par Femmes Autochtones au Québec (FAQ) en ce qui a trait à la situation des femmes autochtones disparues ou assassinées au Québec. Cette enquête a bénéficié du soutien financier du ministère de la Justice du Québec et du Réseau de recherche et de connaissances relatives aux peuples autochtones (DIALOG). Elle visait principalement à consigner et à mettre en valeur la parole des Autochtones de différents horizons et provenances, de même que celles des membres des familles de femmes autochtones disparues ou assassinées, principales personnes concernées par la problématique.

This book provides a new and distinct approach to gender through the frameworks of biopolitics and genealogy, theorizing it as a historically specific apparatus of biopower. Through the use of a diverse mix of historical and contemporary documents, the book explores how the problematization of intersex infant genitalia in 1950s psychiatry propelled the emergence of the gender apparatus in order to socialize sexed individuals into the ideal productive and reproductive subjects of white, middle-class postwar America. The idea of gender was then directly appropriated from psychiatry by Anglo-American feminists during the struggle for women’s liberation, soon followed by demographers and economists concerned with the possible effects of declining fertility on Western populations. The book argues that this genealogy has critical relevance for feminist politics today, amid the deployment of gender equality as a neoliberal means of optimizing the fertility rates of ethnic Europeans and ensuring the region’s future economic growth. It shows how grasping the biopolitics of the idea of gender itself is integral to comprehending both the disappointments and challenges faced by feminist theory and politics today.

La matière première de ce livre est une série d'entretiens menés par Beverley Skeggs avec quatre-vingt-trois jeunes femmes issues de la classe ouvrière anglaise, inscrites à une formation d'aide à la personne et travaillées par leur propre respectabilité. Abordant leur rapport à la sexualité, à la classe ou au féminisme, cet ouvrage vient apporter un prolongement essentiel aux travaux de Pierre Bourdieu et de Paul Willis.

Bien décidée à vivre sa passion, Nancy la suit à Londres et s’embarque pour une incroyable épopée dans le West End, quartier énigmatique et inquiétant qui ne prend tout son sens que sous les feux de la rampe

It's 1887 and Nancy Astley sits in the audience at her local music hall: she doesn't know it yet, but the next act on the bill will change her life. Tonight is the night she'll fall in love' with the thrill of the stage and with Kitty Butler, a girl who wears trousers.

A resurgence of Indigenous political cultures, governances and nation-building requires generations of Indigenous peoples to grow up intimately and strongly connected to our homelands, immersed in our languages and spiritualities, and embodying our traditions of agency, leadership, decision-making and diplomacy. This requires a radical break from state education systems – systems that are primarily designed to produce communities of individuals willing to uphold settler colonialism. This paper uses Nishnaabeg stories to advocate for a reclamation of land as pedagogy, both as process and context for Nishnaabeg intelligence, in order to nurture a generation of Indigenous peoples that have the skills, knowledge and values to rebuild our nation according to the word views and values of Nishnaabeg culture.

Conférence d’ouverture présentée dans le cadre du colloque «Féminismes et luttes contre l’homophobie: zones de convergence» de la Chaire de recherche sur l’homophobie et de l’Institut de recherches et d’études féministes au congrès de l’Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS) 2014.

Conférence d'ouverture du colloque « Les femmes dans les sciences humaines : étudier, enseigner, travailler, militer » Date de l’événement : 20 mars 2014 Hélène Charron, chercheure au Conseil du statut de la femme, chercheure associée à la Chaire Claire-Bonenfant de l’Université Laval, et chargée de cours en études féministes et en sociologie.

Ce texte fait suite à la communication proposée par l’auteure au sein de l’atelier « Matérialismes féministes » lors du colloque Penser l’émancipation (février 2014 à Nanterre). Il s’agit de présenter quelques apports théoriques de ce que certain-e-s ont appelé « le tournant matérialiste dans les études queer ». Sophie Noyé souhaite engager le débat sur les liens possibles entre théorie queer et féminisme matérialiste à partir de ces réflexions récentes dans les études queer.

This is a bold take on the crucial role of emotion in politics. Emotions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do and this is no more powerfully at play than in the world of politics. Ahmed considers how emotions keep us invested in relationships of power, and also shows how this use of emotion could be crucial to feminist and queer political movements. Debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, as well as reconciliation and reparation are explored through topical case studies. In this textbook the difficult issues are confronted head on. New for this edition: a substantial 15,000-word Afterword on 'Emotions and Their Objects' which provides an original contribution to the burgeoning field of affect studies; a revised Bibliography; and updated throughout.

Parler du mouvement des femmes autochtones au Canada comme de l’émergence d’un féminisme autochtone ne va pas forcément de soi, surtout pour les principales intéressées, soit les militantes pour la reconnaissance des droits des femmes autochtones. Pourtant les critiques qu’elles font du système patriarcal imposé à leurs nations par la colonisation et les espaces politiques qu’elles ont progressivement conquis les rapprochent des féministes québécoises avec lesquelles elles ont su forger des alliances au fil du temps.

Europe has long been regarded as a unique place for the promotion and furthering of LGBT rights. This important and compelling study investigates the alleged uniqueness and its ties to a relatively long history of LGBT and queer movements in the region. Contributors argue that LGBT movements were inspired by specific ideas about European democratic values and a responsibility towards human rights, and that they sought to realize these on the ground through activism, often crossing borders to foster a wider movement. In making this argument, they discuss the 'idea of Europe' as it relates to LGBT rights, the history of European LGBT movements, the role of European institutions in adopting LGBT policies, and the construction of European 'others' in this process.
