Stratégies des pouvoirs, stratégies des femmes pour leur résister : c’est toujours la même chose et c’est toujours différent. Lieux concrets et formes subtiles d’oppression, qu’il s’agisse d’institutions, d’organisations ou de discours. Insurrections héroïques des femmes, actions d’éclat ou mouvements souterrains méconnus des historiens, tentatives suivies d’échec. Alliances inattendues, effets imprévisibles, paradoxes. Le livre fait apparaître l’impossibilité de s’en tenir à des catégories massives, tranchées, telles que « la droite », « la gauche », « la femme ouvrière », « la bourgeoise », « la lesbienne », « la catholique », « la féministe ». À la place, une irréductible pluralité des représentations, des actions, des réactions. 4è de couverture

Les femmes ont-elles une histoire ? Pourquoi cette histoire n’a-t-elle pas été écrite dans le passé et pourquoi se développe-t-elle depuis une dizaine d’années ? De quelles sources dispose-t-on à cet égard et cette démarche implique-t-elle des méthodes particulières ? Que signifient « mémoire », « culture », « pouvoir » des femmes ? La catégorie de sexe est-elle, comme celle des âges, une variable historique issue des nouveaux classements induits par le développement de l’individualisme ? ou quelque chose de plus ? Voilà quelques unes des questions abordées dans ce livre qui prend en compte le changement de direction du regard historique lorsque l’on pose la question du rapport des sexes comme central. Avec la participation d’Alain Corbin, Arlette Farge, Agnès Fine, Catherine Fouquet, Geneviève Fraisse, Christiane Klapisch, Yvonne Knibiehler, Michelle Perrot, Elisabeth Ravoux-Rallo, Jacques Revel, Anne Roche, Pauline Schmitt-Pantel, Sylvie Van de Casteele, Danièle Voldman.

For the past thirty years, Hal Foster has pushed the boundaries of cultural criticism, establishing a vantage point from which the seemingly disparate agendas of artists, patrons, and critics have a telling coherence. In The Anti-Aesthetic, preeminent critics such as Jean Baudrillard, Rosalind Krauss, Fredric Jameson, and Edward Said consider the full range of postmodern cultural production, from the writing of John Cage, to Cindy Sherman's film stills, to Barbara Kruger's collages. With a redesigned cover and a new afterword that situates the book in relation to contemporary criticism, The Anti-Aesthetic provides a strong introduction for newcomers and a point of reference for those already engaged in discussions of postmodern art, culture, and criticism. Includes a new afterword by Hal Foster and 12 black and white photographs.

"This book is a detailed study of the powerful and innovative role women artists played in the development and expansion of performance art. This hybrid art form, which combines the visual arts with ingredients drawn from experimental dance, theater, music, and poetry, emerged in the late 1960's at the same time as the women's movement. Many women artists turned to performance art in order to translate and capture visually the concerns, demands and visions of the women's movement; thus women led the way in performance art's explorations of autobiography, ritual, mass spectacle and the creation of characters and personae. The Amazing Decade, edited by Moira Roth, with an introduction by Mary Jan Jacob, culls the best from women's performance history, highlighting pivotal works, chronicling changes and projecting future directions: the book contains a major essay by Roth on the history and character of women's performance art; individual profiles on thirty-seven artists and collectives; an extensive bibliography; and a year-by-year chronology from 1956 onward in which women's performance art is set in the context of history and the women's movement. Profusely illustrated, The Amazing Decade is an indispensable reference book and an invaluable teaching tool"--

Essai théorique et document journalistique à la fois, Pour en finir avec le patriarcat apporte une réponse sereine et engagée à vos questions de tous les jours

This provocative anthology brings together a diverse group of well-known feminist and gay writers, historians, and activists. They are concerned not only with current sexual issues-abortion, pornography, reproductive and gay rights-but they also raise a host of new issues and questions: How, and in what ways, is sexuality political? Is the struggle for sexual freedom a complement to other struggles for liberation, or will it detract from them? Has the sexual revolution diminished or enriched the lives of women?

In this, her first collection of nonfiction, Alice Walker speaks out as a black woman, writer, mother, and feminist.

At the time this book was published in 1982, Jane Gallop was professor of French at Miami University; she has also written Intersections: A Reading of Sade with Bataille, Blanchot, and Klossowski. She wrote in the Introduction, "[the book] studies the relation between contemporary feminist theory and the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan... it enters into a network of problems: problems of sexual difference, of desire, of reading, or writing, of power, of family, of phallocentrism and of language... this book is ... a contribution to the sort of thinking it describes---that is, a contribution to French psychoanalytic feminist thought from the vantage point of these English-speaking shores." (p.11) She adds, "The book begins by calling into question certain feminist assumptions through the agency of Lacanian psychoanalysis. It ends by calling into question certain psychoanalytic positions through the agency of feminist writing." (p.15) She states that "[Freudian] Phallocentrism seems wrong to [Ernest] Jones: that is, immoral by virtue of being 'excessive, immoderate,' which is to say, unreconcilable with a 'sense of proportion.' The phallic disproportion brings him... to champion the claims of an 'underestimated' female sexuality to a more balanced, more proportionate estimate. His 'sense of proportion,' his spirit of fair play, will be sufficiently scandalized to provoke his only major departure from Freud's theory." (p. 16) She observes that in an article, "[Stephen] Heath begins by informing us that ... Lacan's 1972/73 seminar [is] devoted to 'what Freud expressly left aside... What does woman want?' ... Yet Lacan said nothing of devotion... Lacan speaks of a beginning... of a relation to this question: far from devoting himself to women he is simply at the stage of approach, first and rather aggressive encounter." (p. 43) This book will be of interest to feminists studying psychoanalysis, or to students of Lacan.
