The past decade has seen a wealth of changes in the gay and lesbian movement and a remarkable growth in gay and lesbian studies. In response to this heightened activity Barry D. Adam has updated his 1987 study of the movement to offer a critical reflection on strategies and objectives that have been developed for the protection and welfare of those who love others of their own sex. This revised volume addresses the movement's recovery of momentum in the wake of New Right campaigns and its gains in human rights and domestic partners' legislation in several countries; the impact of AIDS on movement issues and strategies and the renewal of militant tactics through AIDS activism and Queer Nation; internal debates that continually shift the meanings composing homosexual, gay, lesbian, and queer identities and cultures; the proliferation of new movement groups in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa; and new developments in historical scholarship that are enriching our understanding of same-sex bonding in the past. Adam delineates the formation of gay and lesbian movements as truly a world phenomenon, exploring their histories in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Scandinavia, Australia, and countries for which very little information about the activities of gay men and lesbians has been made available. In this global picture of the mobilization of homosexuals Adam identifies the critical factors that have given personal and historical subjectivity to desire, that have shaped the faces and territories of homosexual people, and that have generated homophobia and heterosexism. Treating the sociological aspects of the rise of the gay and lesbian movement, Adamalso looks at "new social movements" theory in relation to the gay and lesbian movement and cultural nationalism - whether in the form of cultural feminism or queer nationalism - which he considers an important, perhaps inevitable, moment in the empowerment of inferiorized people.

Matriarcat, maternité et pouvoir des femmes Le matriarcat remis à l'honneur au début des années 70 est un thème privilégié pour la réflexion théorique féministe en anthropologie. En tant que construction intellectuelle, le concept de matriarcat, développé par les évolutionnistes puis par les féministes, met en évidence le discours naturaliste de ces deux groupes et ses effets sur la conceptualisation des rapports de sexe. La discussion du concept de matriarcat est aussi le prétexte à une réflexion sur la maternité et le pouvoir des femmes.

Méthodologie féministe et anthropologie : une alliance possible Après un bref énoncé des principes épistémologiques et éthiques qui sous-tendent la recherche féministe et de la stratégie qui en découle dans la poursuite de projets concrets, l'auteure examine les affinités et apports réciproques entre anthropologie et méthodologie féministe puis souligne les contradictions profondes qui, selon elle, rendent problématique actuellement le développement de la recherche féministe en anthropologie. Elle termine en suggérant quelques pistes à suivre par les anthropologues féministes dans un proche avenir.

Feminism has been a major force in the reshaping of recent art. The women's movement has given new confidence to women who work in the visual arts; it has opened up new areas for art to deal with and challenged existing systems of values and imagery in the arts. In their comprehensive introduction, Rozsika Parker and Griselda Pollock provide a richly illustrated history of the British women's art movement, covering the major events and debates in feminist art practice which have taken place over the last fifteen years. They also examine the trends, the conflicts and the new directions of the 1980s in which issues of race, as well as gender, have necessarily become prominent. Griselda Pollock goes on to explore the place of feminist art in the context of post-modern culture, arguing that feminism is one of the most important and radical interventions in both modernism and post-modernism. --back cover.

Comment définir une culture au féminin ? Quelles formes peut-elle prendre dans les sciences sociales, la littérature, la philosophie et l’art ? Les recherches présentées dans ce recueil, par leur approche analytique, humoristique, caustique, radicale ou poétique, apparaitront comme la poursuite du même idéal, créer une société dans laquelle « les femmes s’appartiennent totalement, non seulement physiquement, mais symboliquement ».
