"A boy inside it": Beebo Brinker and the transmasculine narratives of Ann Bannon's Lesbian Pulp - Moore, Melina Alice (GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 2019)
This essay explores Ann Bannon's lesbian pulp series "The Beebo Brinker Chronicles" through the lens of trans studies, placing her eponymous hero in conversation with the inversion rhetoric of sexological discourse and the transgender pulp novels that circulated alongside Bannon's texts in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite the prominence of Beebo's masculine identification, and the fact that Bannon draws heavily from Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness — now widely read as a transgender text — Beebo has yet to be read as a character that resonates within both the trans and the lesbian literary canons. Revisioning Beebo as a transmasculine character transforms our understanding of an unfolding trans-gender literary tradition, offering a bridge between Hall's Stephen Gordon and later twentieth-century articulations of transmasculine identity and embodiment. Further, the essay suggests that Bannon's series provides a vital intervention in the "case study" framing that dominated both transgender pulp novels and The Well by offering a vision of trans experience that, presented in the romance genre, exists outside medical authority. If we broaden the context for studying Beebo to include other contemporary trans literary genealogies, Bannon's work becomes integral to understanding the pulp genre's treatment of transgender themes and the reach of transgender plots and possibilities at midcentury.

Love and Knowledge: Emotion in Feminist Epistemology - Jaggar, Allison M. (Inquiry, 1989)
This paper argues that, by construing emotion as epistemologically subversive, the Western tradition has tended to obscure the vital role of emotion in the construction of knowledge. The paper begins with an account of emotion that stresses its active, voluntary, and socially constructed aspects, and indicates how emotion is involved in evaluation and observation. It then moves on to show how the myth of dispassionate investigation has functioned historically to undermine the epistemic authority of women as well as other social groups associated culturally with emotion. Finally, the paper sketches some ways in which the emotions of underclass groups, especially women, may contribute to the development of a critical social theory.

New lesbian criticism: Literary and cultural readings - Munt, Sally (Between men-between women, 1992)
This volume explores whether there can be a specific lesbian aesthetic, juxtaposed against reading as a woman´ or as a heterosexual´. Contributors both explore the uses of recent theories such as post-structuralism and offer a lesbian critique of such methodologies. Close readings of contemporary lesbian fiction and popular culture focus on works such as Zami, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, The Wanderground, and Desert of the Heart as well as on lesbian pornography. Together the essays point to lesbian culture´s ability to create new meanings for iteself and to foreground the intertextuality of lesbian identities. Contributors: Sonya Andemahr, Lisa Henderson, Hilary Hinds, Katie King, Reina Lewis, Sally Munt, Gillian Spraggs, Angela Weir, Anna Wilson, Elizabeth Wilson, and Bonnie Zimmerman.

Woman, native, other: Writing Postcoloniality and feminism - Minh-ha, Trinh T. (Indiana University Press, 1989)
Woman, Native, Other is located at the junction of a number of different fields and disciplines, and it genuinely succeeds in publishing the boundaries of these disciplines further ... In this first full-length study, Trinh Minh-ha examines post-colonial processes of displacement -- cultural hybridization and decentered realities, fragmented selves and multiple identities, marginal voices and languages of rupture. Working at the intersection of several fields -- women's studies, anthropology, critical cultural studies, literary criticism, and feminist theory, she juxtaposes numerous prevailing contemporary discourses in a form that questions the (male-is-norm) literary and theoretical establishment

Are men getting more emotional? Critical sociological perspectives on men, masculinities and emotions - de Boise, Sam; Hearn, Jeff (The Sociological Review, 2017)
Sociological research, influenced by feminist and other critical perspectives, has noted how men’s emotional inexpressiveness was influenced, and supported, by patriarchal privilege. Such approaches have argued that ‘inexpression’ needs to be broken down in order to build gender equality and improve men’s own wellbeing. Emerging research has, however, challenged the argument that men are ‘emotionally inexpressive’ on two main premises: that, as a result of feminist critiques, many men now practise ‘softer’ or ‘more emotional’ forms of masculinity; second, that emotions always influence social action and so need to be better incorporated into sociological accounts of men’s behaviour. Yet these approaches entail some conceptual confusion as to what emotions are, how they link to social action and whether men’s emotions are inherently transformative for gender relations. This article first details how emotions and masculinity have been theorized in feminist-inspired approaches. It outlines recent work on emotions, men and masculinities before arguing for an understanding of emotions that engages with both physiologically grounded and postconstructionist debates. It finally suggests incorporating a material-discursive approach to men’s emotions, through feminist work on affect, which is attentive to the political dimensions of ‘increasing emotionality’ in order to contribute to a developing field of sociological research.

Butch-femme dynamics in Exodus 2-6 and 14: A lesbian-focused character study - Focht, Caralie (Theology & Sexuality, 2019)
This article assesses Exodus’ Egypt as lesbian bar culture of the 1940s and 1950s, treating the main characters of Moses, Pharaoh, Yhwh as competing butches for the femme, Israel. The article utilizes a gender reversal, queer-ideological critical approach in order to read the biblical text of Exodus 2-6 and 14 in the way accessible to the lesbian community.

The outside thing: Modernist lesbian romance - Roche, Hannah (Gender and culture, 2019)
In a lecture delivered before the University of Oxford’s Anglo-French Society in 1936, Gertrude Stein described romance as “the outside thing, that . . . is always a thing to be felt inside.” Hannah Roche takes Stein’s definition as a principle for the reinterpretation of three major modernist lesbian writers, showing how literary and affective romance played a crucial yet overlooked role in the works of Stein, Radclyffe Hall, and Djuna Barnes. The Outside Thing offers original readings of both canonical and peripheral texts, including Stein’s first novel Q.E.D. (Things As They Are), Hall’s Adam’s Breed and The Well of Loneliness, and Barnes’s early writing alongside Nightwood. Is there an inside space for lesbian writing, or must it always seek refuge elsewhere? Crossing established lines of demarcation between the in and the out, the real and the romantic, and the Victorian and the modernist, The Outside Thing presents romance as a heterosexual plot upon which lesbian writers willfully set up camp. These writers boldly adopted and adapted the romance genre, Roche argues, as a means of staking a queer claim on a heteronormative institution. Refusing to submit or surrender to the “straight” traditions of the romance plot, they turned the rules to their advantage. Drawing upon extensive archival research, The Outside Thing is a significant rethinking of the interconnections between queer writing, lesbian living, and literary modernism.

Heteronormativity made me lesbian: Femme, butch and the production of sexual embodiment projects - Crawley, Sara L; Willman, Rebecca K (Sexualities, 2018)
La théorie queer soutient que les discours hétéronormatifs dominants sont productifs de sexualités. Comment alors l’hétéronormativité produit-elle des lesbiennes ? Nous théorisons la femme et le butch comme des projets d’incarnation sexuelle.les réponses processuelles et relationnelles à l’hétéronormativité patriarcale sont sans cesse textuellement enfilées tout au long de nos vies. En nous appuyant sur des féminismes radicaux mis à jour avec Foucault et Dorothy Smith, nous proposons des récits autoethnographiques de nos incarnations sexuelles de butch et de femme, en soutenant non pas que les expériences de viol, mais la menace constante de viol dans la vie quotidienne peuvent produire un désir et une incarnation lesbienne. En fin de compte, nous comprenons l'incarnation sexuelle comme non basée sur un fondement ontologique fixe, mais toujours dans les actions relationnelles et quotidiennes des personnes et, par conséquent, malléable dans le contexte social, le moment discursif et les intersections individuelles de la vie d'une personne dans les relations de pouvoir (genre, race, classe sociale, religiosité, nationalité, etc.).

Lesbian camp: An unearthing - Nielsen, Elly-Jean (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2016)
Camp—a sensibility, a style, and a form of artistic selfexpression—is an elusive concept said to be in the eye of the beholder. To refute Susan Sontag’s (1966) claims that camp is apolitical and not especially homosexual, a number of recent scholarly works have been geared toward revealing camp’s fundamental gayness. With the odd footnote aside, lesbian camp has been collapsed into the category of gay male camp, if not eclipsed entirely. Despite the negligible efforts made to legitimize lesbian camp, there are numerous salient cultural examples one might draw on to illustrate, typify, and substantiate a lesbian camp sensibility. I lay the ground work for this scholarly exercise by outlining various definitions and critiques of camp, and by discussing its history and application to queer theory. Then, to unveil lesbian camp, three nonmutually exclusive categories are discussed: classic, erotic, and radical. By gathering various strands of inquiry, and various textual examples (e.g., photography, artistic performances, and literary tropes), this article attempts to reach a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of lesbian camp.

Touching, unbelonging, and the absence of affect - Khanna, Ranjana (Feminist Theory, 2012)
This article argues that psychoanalytic notions of affect – including ideas of anxiety and melancholia, as well as deconstructive concepts of auto-affection – offer a feminist ethico-politics and a notion of affect as interface. Beyond the confines of the experiential and the positivist, both psychoanalysis and deconstruction provide insights into affect as a technology that understands the subject as porous. I consider works by Derek Jarman and Shirin Neshat to demonstrate the importance of the ethico-politics of affect as interface in contemporary cultural production. Both artists, in the process of considering the spectacular nature of notions of feminist and queer, use images of interface as a way of delimiting the spectacular nature of being and demonstrating the singularity of the event, the desire to fix through framing, and the parergonal nature of framing. The presence of the subject is questioned even as an auto-affection is suggestive of a spectral demand of the ethico-political. In the case of Jarman’s Blue, the denial of image as face in favour of the screen as interface is interrupted by sound and voice, which gesture toward representation as impossible but necessary. In the case of Neshat, the persistence of the photographic – the highly aesthetic self-portrait as mugshot – foregrounds face as interface, as one that questions presence through the insistence of a representational apparatus.

Queer theory, butch/femme identities and lesbian space - Eves, Alison (Sexualities, 2004)
Queer theory has been criticized for its textual focus and lack of attention to the structural and to everyday social practices. This article is part of a wider attempt to draw on the different strengths and insights of queer theory and qualitative social sciences. I identify areas of intersection between them which suggest potential ways of developing a queer sociology. The article considers the negotiation of gender and sexual identity categories at the level of individual butch and femme identity narratives. The concept of interpretative repertoires is used to theorize the ways in which lesbians are both positioned by and actively negotiate particular discourses. I am interested in the spatial aspects of the negotiation and contestation of identities and the article examines the ways in which particular interpretative repertoires produce butch and femme metaphorical and material spaces. The article draws on a concept of space as fluid, contested in meaning and created through social interactions. The achievement of lesbian visibility is examined as a strategic intervention in the establishment of subcultural space in which lesbian genders may be performed and read in specifically lesbian ways. Butch and femme aesthetics are examined as tactics in resisting heterosexual space and demanding lesbian presence.

Touching feeling: Affect, pedagogy, performativity - Sedgwick, Eve Kosofsky (Duke University Press Books, 2003)
A pioneer in queer theory and literary studies, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick brings together for the first time in Touching Feeling her most powerful explorations of emotion and expression. In essays that show how her groundbreaking work in queer theory has developed into a deep interest in affect, Sedgwick offers what she calls "tools and techniques for nondualistic thought," in the process touching and transforming such theoretical discourses as psychoanalysis, speech-act theory, Western Buddhism, and the Foucauldian "hermeneutics of suspicion." In prose sometimes somber, often high-spirited, and always accessible and moving, Touching Feeling interrogates—through virtuoso readings of works by Henry James, J. L. Austin, Judith Butler, the psychologist Silvan Tomkins and others—emotion in many forms. What links the work of teaching to the experience of illness? How can shame become an engine for queer politics, performance, and pleasure? Is sexuality more like an affect or a drive? Is paranoia the only realistic epistemology for modern intellectuals? Ultimately, Sedgwick's unfashionable commitment to the truth of happiness propels a book as open-hearted as it is intellectually daring.

Femme/Butch family romances - Harris, Laura A. (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2002)
My essay theorizes femme/butch family romances against the grain of dominant feminist and lesbian thought that desexualizes the space of mother/daughter desire.

Affective solidarity: Feminist reflexivity and political transformation - Hemmings, Clare (Feminist Theory, 2012)
This article seeks to intervene in what I perceive to be a problematic opposition in feminist theory between ontological and epistemological accounts of existence and politics, by proposing an approach that weaves together Elspeth Probyn’s conceptualisation of ‘feminist reflexivity’ with a re-reading of feminist standpoint through affect. In so doing, I develop the concept of affective solidarity as necessary for sustainable feminist politics of transformation. This approach is proposed as a way of moving away from rooting feminist transformation in the politics of identity and towards modes of engagement that start from the affective dissonance experience can produce. Moving beyond empathy as a privileged way of connecting with others, I argue that the difference between ‘womanhood’ and ‘feminism’ is critical for a universal yet nonessential understanding of what motivates gendered change.

A bakhtinian perspective on feminist lesbian crime writing - Posman, Sarah (CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture, 2006)
In her paper, "A Bakhtinian Perspective on Feminist Lesbian Crime Writing," Sarah Posman discusses how the Bakhtinian concepts "ethos" and "chronotope" add to the discussion of feminist lesbian crime writing. She sets out from a Bakhtinian typology of action stories and situates recent crime writing as a curious mixture of mission stories and transformation stories. Focusing on the innovative potential of feminist lesbian crime writing, Posman explores how such stories tackle the iconically masculine and heterosexual conventions of the detective story and manage to balance tradition and subversion successfully. Posman infuses her analysis with issues central to feminism and queer theory and considers how a feminist lesbian detective hero can "change the world," that is, how such an "other" ethos impinges on crime writing's conventional chronotopical constellation. The hero and world under discussion are those of the popular Kate Delafield series by Katherine V. Forrest.

The lesbian postmodern - Doan, Laura L. (Between men--between women, 1994)
Tous originaux de ce volume, ces essais évocateurs rédigés par des chercheureuses tels que Robyn Wiegman, Elizabeth Grosz et Judith Roof examinent un domaine encore intact de la critique littéraire et culturelle et de la théorie du genre, une postmodernité spécifiquement lesbienne. Les essais retracent, d’une part, comment certaines théories et productions culturelles lesbiennes mettent en avant une politique de différence et de marginalité et critiquent ainsi l’hégémonie patriarcale et hétérosexuelle. D’un autre côté, certains essais soulignent comment une esthétique postmoderne, avec sa valorisation de la différence, de la pluralité sexuelle et du flou des genres, contribue à la production culturelle lesbienne. Parmi les sujets abordés figurent les définitions changeantes des termes lesbien et postmoderne ; le potentiel et danger de ce nouveau territoire conceptuel dans la théorie, la représentation littéraire et visuelle et la culture populaire ; la lesbienne dans le cinéma hollywoodien ; les actrices Jodie Foster et Sandra Bernhard ; et des œuvres de Jeanette Winterson, Michelle Cliff et Gloria Anzaldua. Tout au long, les contributeurices abordent les questions et enjeux interdépendants de classe, de race, d’ethnicité, de postcolonialisme et de marchandisation.

Reading « Hairstories » and « Hairitages » in Léonora Miano’s and Rokhaya Diallo’s Works - Montlouis-Gabriel, Johanna (Études littéraires africaines, 2019)
Cet article vise à analyser un symbole qui distingue les femmes afro-descendantes : leur chevelure crépue. Ces dix dernières années, denombreuses afro-féministes (aux États-Unis, en France, dans la Caraïbe et ailleurs) ont repris possession de leurs cheveux comme partie essentielle de leur héritage et ont choisi de garder leur état naturel, souvent surnommé « nappy » (contraction de l’anglais « natural » et « happy »). Dans notre analyse, nous comparerons les approches de l’écrivaine Léonora Miano et celles de l’activiste Rokhaya Diallo telles qu’elles apparaissent dans leurs oeuvres respectives, à savoir le roman Blues pour Élise et la nouvelle « Corpus Christi » pour la première et le roman graphique Pari(s) d’amies ! pour la seconde. Dans leurs oeuvres, Léonora Miano et Rokhaya Diallo souhaitent déconstruire les discours et les représentations négatives des cheveux et du physique des afro-descendantes, en revendiquant l’amour de soi. Bien que certains personnages résistent à l’idée du cheveu naturel, nous verrons que cette réappropriation constitue un acte performatif.

The transformative potential of LGBTQ+ children's picture books - Miller, Jennifer (Children's literature association series, 2022)
Dans Le potentiel transformateur des livres d'images pour enfants LGBTQ+, Jennifer Miller identifie une archive de plus de 150 livres d'images pour enfants en anglais qui représentent explicitement Identités, expressions et enjeux LGBTQ+. Ces archives sont ensuite analysées pour explorer l’évolution des personnages et contenus LGBTQ+ des années 1970 à nos jours. Miller décrit les tropes dominants qui émergent dans le domaine pour analyser les changements historiques dans les pratiques de représentation, qu'elle suggère parallèlement à des changements socioculturels plus larges dans la visibilité des identités LGBTQ+. De plus, Miller considère les contraintes et possibilités matérielles affectant la production, la distribution et la consommation de livres d’images pour enfants LGBTQ+ des années 1970 à nos jours. Ce travail fondateur définit le domaine des livres d'images pour enfants LGBTQ+ de manière approfondie, mais accessible. En plus de jeter les bases de recherches plus approfondies, Le potentiel transformateur des livres d'images pour enfants LGBTQ+ présente une optique de lecture, un optimisme critique, utilisé analyser le potentiel de transformation des livres d'images pour enfants LGBTQ+. De nombreux textes restent attachés à des formes familiales hétéronormatives et à des modèles de réussite racisés et classés. Cependant, en considérant ce que ces livres apportent au monde, ainsi que les aspects problématiques du monde qui y sont reproduits, Miller soutient que les livres d'images pour enfants LGBTQ+ sont un projet essentiel de création du monde et cherchent à inaugurer un monde transformé ainsi que d'importantes archives historiques qui reflètent les changements matériels et représentationnels dans les compréhensions dominantes et sous-culturelles du genre et de la sexualité.

Big data for (not so) small loans: Technological infrastructures and the massification of fringe finance - Langevin, Marie (Review of International Political Economy, 2019)
This article examines the evolution of the sociotechnical systems that is leading to a massive increase in the overall indebtedness of marginalized populations in the Global South. I analyze the processes through which Big Data (or alternative data) technologies are transforming the infrastructure of fringe finance, the nature of its power relations, and its capacities. The article identifies the consequences of these technological transformations on financial practices and illustrates the qualitative nature of the changes involved. I propose that while these innovations have increased the power of this market to capture value, they have also increased risks to indebted populations and the infrastructure's stability. I argue that these financial practices, enhanced by the power of Big Data, have made the infrastructure of fringe finance dangerously hermetic to careful consideration of the productive capacities of those being targeted for inclusion into the formal financial system, thereby making it potentially dysfunctional.

Decolonizing trauma studies: Trauma and postcolonialism - Andermahr, Sonya (MDPI AG - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)
This Special Issue aims to explore the complex and contested relationship between Trauma Studies and postcolonial theory, focusing on the possibilities for creating a decolonized trauma theory that takes account of the suffering of minority groups and non-Western cultures, broadly defined as cultures beyond Western Europe and North America. The issue builds on the insights of, inter alia, Stef Craps's book, Postcolonial Witnessing, and responds to his challenge to interrogate and move beyond a Eurocentric trauma paradigm.

True loves, dark nights: Queer performativity and grieving through music in the work of Rufus Wainwright - Salerno, Stephanie (Université d'État de Bowling Green, 2016)
This dissertation studies the cultural significance of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright's (b. 1973) album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (Decca, 2010). Lulu was written, recorded, and toured in the years surrounding the illness and eventual death of his mother, beloved Quebecoise singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle. The album, performed as a classical song cycle, stands out amongst Wainwright's musical catalogue as a hybrid composition that mixes classical and popular musical forms and styles. More than merely a collection of songs about death, loss, and personal suffering, Lulu is a vehicle that enabled him to grieve through music. I argue that Wainwright's performativity, as well as the music itself, can be understood as queer, or as that which transgresses traditional or expected boundaries. In this sense, Wainwright's artistic identity and musical trajectory resemble a rhizome, extending in multiple directions and continually expanding to create new paths and outcomes. Instances of queerness reveal themselves in the genre hybridity of the Lulu song cycle, the emotional vulnerability of Wainwright's vocal performance, the deconstruction of gender norms in live performance, and the circulation of affect within the performance space. In this study, I examine the song cycle form, Wainwright's musical score and vocal performance, live performance videos, and fan reactions to live performances in order to identify meaningful moments where Wainwright's musical and performative decisions queer audience expectations. While these musical moments contribute to the already rich and varied lineage of the gay male artist in both classical and popular music, I argue that Wainwright's queer performativity and nontraditional musical choices speak to larger issues important to American culture in the contemporary moment. These issues include the visibility of male public mourning and the healing power of artistic expression in the face of traumatic loss.

All these poses, such beautiful poses: Articulations of queer masculinity in the music of Rufus Wainwright - Jones, Matthew J. (Université de Géorgie, 2008)
Singer-composer Rufus Wainwright uses specific musical gestures to reference historical archetypes of urban, gay masculinity on his 2002 album Poses. The cumulative result of his penchant for pastiche, eschewal of traditional musical boundaries, and self-described hedonism, Poses represents Wainwright's direct engagement with the politics of identity and challenges dominant constructions of (homo)sexuality and masculinity in popular music. Drawing from a vast lexicon of musical styles, he assembles an idiosyncratic persona, ignoring several decades of pop with an "utter lack of machismo [and] a freedom that comes to outsiders disinterested in meeting the requirements of the dreary status quo." Though analysis of musical and lyrical characteristics of Poses, I establish a dialectic between Wainwright's musical persona and four historical modes of urban gay masculinity: the 19th Century English Dandy, the French flaneur, the 20th Century gay bohemian, and the "Clone." In doing so, I introduce Wainwright as a reinvigorating force, resuscitating the subversive potential of radical gay sexuality as a 21st Century model for imagining gay male subjectivity.

A quest for authenticity: Contemporary butch gender - Levitt, Heidi M.; Hiestand, Katherine R. (Sex Roles : A Journal of Research, 2004)
Un modèle d'identité butch contemporaine a été construit à partir de l'analyse d'une série d'entretiens semi-structurés avec des femmes identifiées comme butch qui ont décrit leur genre en relation avec leurs propres expériences et croyances. Le processus analytique impliquait une approche théorique fondée (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Les résultats de l'étude décrivent comment les femmes identifiées comme butch conceptualisent leur identité de genre et comment cela affecte leurs relations sociales au sein des communautés lesbiennes et hétérosexuelles. La catégorie centrale de ce modèle (c.-à-d. Une quête d'authenticité) définit l'identité butch comme impliquant un processus continu de négociation entre un sens essentiel du genre lesbien et des exigences de présentation du genre qui sont comprises en relation avec la signification et la signification des genres à travers les contextes sociaux. .

Butch Bottom-Femme Top? An exploration of lesbian stereotypes - Walker, Ja’nina J.; Golub, Sarit A.; Bimbi, David S.; Parsons, Jeffrey T. (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2012)
Lesbian gender labels (i.e., butch, soft butch, butch/femme, femme, and high femme) have set the stage for assumptions about lesbian attractions to sexual behaviors. This study explored the intersection of lesbian gender labels and attraction to sexual behaviors in 214 lesbian-identified women. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 69 with 48% being women of color. Contrary to stereotypes about sexual behavior in the lesbian community, very few differences emerged in regard to lesbian gender label. Overall, results do not support stereotypes about lesbian gender labels and suggest that behaviors in the lesbian community are fluid across labels.

The queerness of Native American literature - Tatonetti, Lisa (Indigenous Americas, 2014)
A comprehensive view of Indigenous queer literature since Stonewall In The Queerness of Native American Literature, Lisa Tatonetti recovers ties between two simultaneous renaissances of the late twentieth century: queer literature and Native American literature. Throughout, she argues that queerness has been central to Native American literature for decades, showing how queer Native literature and Two-Spirit critiques challenge understandings of both Indigeneity and sexuality.

Butch/Femme in the personal advertisements of lesbians - Smith, Christine A.; Stillman, Shannon (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2002)
Personal advertisements placed by lesbians were examined to determine how often butch/femme descriptors were used: (a) as a form of self-identification or (b) to indicate the type of partner being sought. The 388 personal advertisements were drawn from 16 alternative newspapers around the U.S., as well as from one Internet site (Qworld) that contained personal ads by lesbians. Each advertisement was coded for the presence or absence of butch/femme descriptors. The majority of advertisers did not mention butch or femme labels either in terms of self-identity or type of partner sought. Among the minority of advertisers who self-identified as butch or femme, more described themselves as femme than butch. Among advertisers seeking butch or femme partners, femme partners were sought most often. Explanations for the preference for femme lesbians were explored

Young, Black and male : Exploring the intersections of racial and gender identity in an all-Black male high school - Rogers, Leoandra Onnie (New York University, 2012)
From popular culture to academia, there is national panic about the dismal life trajectories of Black males. This "Black male crisis" has contributed to emergent all-Black, all-male schools. Racial identity is commonly used to explain underperformance among Blacks, yet within-group gender disparity signifies the importance of gender relative to race. Minimal research exists on Black males' gender identities, and less on the intersections of gender and race. This longitudinal dissertation used quantitative and qualitative data to examine the development and intersections of racial and gender identity among Black adolescent males transitioning from co-educational grammar schools and entering the ninth grade at an all-Black, all-male high school. Findings are presented in two empirical papers. Paper 1 examined survey data collected from Black males (N = 183) to explain how boys' racial and gender identities were interrelated, changed over time, and influenced their psychological and academic adjustment. Results from the growth curve analysis revealed that boys' racial and gender identities were interrelated with each other and that higher levels of identity attachment were associated with better psychological and academic adjustment. Moreover, the strength of the relationship between gender identity and psychological adjustment increased over time, indicating that gender identity became increasingly important for boys' wellbeing. Paper 2 analyzed interview data with a subsample of Black males (n = 21) to examine how they resisted and accommodated racial and gender stereotypes. Results from the qualitative analysis revealed that boys were aware of the ways that racial and gender stereotypes overlap, but they responded to these stereotypes in different ways. Although some boys accommodated to both racial and gender stereotypes and others resisted these stereotypes, the majority of the boys responded by accommodating to gender stereotypes and resisting racial stereotypes. That is, they tended to perpetuate cultural stereotypes that require males to be the leader, emotionally stoic, and not to be feminine (i.e., gay) while challenging beliefs about the intellectual inferiority and incompetence of Black people. Findings are interpreted within the macro-context of cultural stereotypes and the micro-context of an all-Black male school. Implications for the study of identity, Black males, and single-sex education are discussed.

A Lesbian in the punditry - Reed, Jennifer (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2010)
This article argues that Rachel Maddow has become one of a growing number of new public lesbians. This is a subject position that makes no secret of or apology for lesbian identity. Nor does it seek to make explicit political claims for liberation or separation. Maddow uses this subject position as host of her own cable news show, The Rachel Maddow Show, combined with her presence in other media, where she presents as a butch lesbian and comments on her more conservative look on her television show, to create a lesbian presence that disrupts heteronormativity, offers alternatives to heterogender, and in particular as a news show, tells a more inclusive liberal humanist story.

Explorations in contemporary feminist literature: The battle against oppression for writers of color, lesbian and transgender communities - Pernal, Mary (Eruptions, 2002)
Explorations in Contemporary Feminist The Battle Against Oppression for Writers of Color, Lesbian and Transgender Communities is a work that bridges issues of oppression across diverse communities within the contemporary feminist movement. Fictional writings by authors such as Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Rose Tremain, and others are addressed in regard to their content of social messages. The major focus of this book is the need for personal-redefinition by members of marginalized communities seeking a ground of self-determination and respect, as expressed by various authors. The connections between authors' perspectives are rasied and a critical gaze is directed at the claim that personal choice equates with freedom.

Beyond the superordinate categories of “Gay Men” and “Lesbian Women”: Identification of gay and lesbian subgroups - McCutcheon, Jessica M.; Morrison, Melanie A. (Journal of Homosexuality, 2021)
Nation-wide opinion polls and social scientific studies indicate that evaluations of gay men and lesbian women have become increasingly favourable. These positive trends do not explain the widespread discrimination experiences being reported. To assist researchers in investigating attitudes towards gay and lesbian persons, the current research examines whether there are multiple “types” that are identifiable and salient. Two Canadian studies (Ns = 67 and 206) were conducted to establish the presence of gay and lesbian subgroups. Using subgroups generated by Study 1 participants, community and student sub-samples selected those they perceive to exist. Results indicated that, for gay men, the subgroups Drag Queen and Flamboyant emerged, as did Butch for lesbian women. Amongst students, Closeted and Feminine also emerged for gay men, as well as Feminist and Tomboy for lesbian women. These findings have implications for contemporary research on gay- and lesbian-related attitudes and the methodology used to assess them.

Creating worlds for my music to exist: How women composers of electroacoustic music make place for their voices - McCartney, Andra (Université York, 1994)
For this study, I have interviewed fourteen women composers of electroacoustic music in or near the three Canadian urban centres of Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Montreal: Ciaire Pich6, Lucie Jasmin, Pascale Trudel, Monique Jean, Helen Hall and Kathy Kennedy; Toronto: Gayle Young, Sarah Peebles, Wende Bartley, Elma Miller, Ann Southam, and Carol Ann Weaver; Vancouver: Hildegard Westerkamp and Susan Frykberg. These interviews were all conducted between January and November of 1993. References to the development of electroacoustic music in Canada are sparse in the existing literature, both in general histories of electroacoustic music, and in histories of Canadian music. And even though there seem to be some areas of change (for instance, recent publications in Quebec), women composers are under-represented in writings and recorded collections of electroacoustic music in Canada. Chapter Two situates the work of women composers in the Canadian scene, discussing particularly the work of Norma Beecroft, Marcelle Desch§nes, Diana McIntosh, and Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux. Chapter Three describes the metaphors, images and myths invoked in malestream discourses associated with electroacoustic music, in popular magazines, course texts and software. I investigate how my consultants’ language reflects and/or contests mainstream imagery, or how it might be framed by entirely different assumptions and experiences. Chapter Four is concerned with the institutional structures of electroacoustic music. I discuss how gendering exhibits itself in the division of labour in electroacoustic studio courses at universities, as well as in concert halls, conferences, and professional organizations. Excerpts from the interviews record my consultants experiences in these institutions, as students, teachers, and composers. In Chapter Five, I point out the variety of strategies that each composer uses to construct her identity within the world of electroacoustics. Each entry takes the form of a three or four page sketch, with quotes from the interview regarding the social environment, equipment choices, compositional styles, and particular pieces that my consultant discusses. Chapter Six discusses three pieces in detail: one by Susan Frykberg, Woman and House; one by Wende Bartley, A Silence Full of Sound; and one by Hildegard Westerkamp, Breathing Room. I focus on how each of the composers chooses to work with technology, and how her culturally-constructed position as a woman affects her work. I describe how my consultants imagine other stories to tell, and other possible lived social relations. The conclusions in Chapter Seven, in addition to suggesting areas for future research, discuss three themes that run throughout the study: the idea of gender as performance, the doubleness of my consultants' responses to technology, and the importance of the linguistic and musical metaphors that they use.

White privilege and male privilege: A personal account of coming to see correspondences through work in women's studies - McIntosh, Peggy (Wellesley College, Center for Research on Women, 1988)
Through work to bring materials and perspectives from Women's Studies into the rest of the curriculum, I have often noticed men's unwillingness to grant that they are overprivileged in the curriculum, even though they may grant that women are disadvantaged. Denials that amount to taboos surround the subject of advantages that men gain from women's disadvantages. These denials protect male privilege from being fully recognized, acknowledged, lessened, or ended.

“Just a couple of queer fish”: The queer possibilities of Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle - Lorig, Josette (Contemporary Women's Writing, 2021)
Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle (1973) is a foundational work of lesbian literature and has been characterized as a queer text. This essay begins with resistance to reading the novel as a wholly celebratory queer text because of how it positions a form of essentialized lesbianism against queer sexualities that are coded as deviant and abnormal. Nonetheless, Rubyfruit Jungle brims with queer narratives, queer scenes, and queer characters. In the essay’s second half, I draw on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s model of reparative reading to engage with potential queer readings the novel affords. I show how readers can recuperate the queer sexualities the novel documents in ways that the novel – with its specific historical and political positionality – did not or could not account for.

Imaginary women, imaginary audience: Gender and top 40 radio in Montréal - Maki, Christine (Women in radio: Unfiltered voices from Canada, 2020)
Though they no longer call themselves Top 40, popular music radio stations remain present on the dial today, complete with loud, mostly male DJs, hoping to attract a mainly female audience. Using the talk on two Montréal music stations, which hire mainly male announcers who select music assumed to fit women’s tastes, Christine Maki examines the continuing perception that women’s voices aren’t low or authoritative enough and that emotional issues prevent them from presenting difficult news stories. Her conclusion: the overall medium remains relatively unchanged over the decades, despite massive evolution in the wider media landscape.

The conservation of a gender fantasy: Women and Top 40 radio in Montreal - Maki, Christine (Université McGill, 2008)
Cette thèse fait l'analyse de la radio anglophone « Top 40 » à Montréal, en mettant l'accent sur la sexospécificité des animateurs et des auditeurs. En étudiant l'histoire de la radio commerciale, et les liens entre la radio et les femmes, ce travail démontre que les postes de radio ne faisaient pas plus que maintenant une programmation basée sur une compréhension réelle de leurs auditeurs, mais plutôt sur une idée virtuelle de leur auditoire-cible. Ceci traduit une manière conservatrice d'imaginer un auditoire féminin et une programmation qui ne respecte pas réellement les vrais intérêts des femmes.

Boots of leather, slippers of gold: The history of a lesbian community - Lapovsky Kennedy, Elizabeth; Davis, Madeline D.. (Routledge, 2014)
Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold traces the evolution of the lesbian community in Buffalo, New York from the mid-1930s up to the early 1960s. Drawing upon the oral histories of 45 women, it is the first comprehensive history of a working-class lesbian community. These poignant and complex stories show how black and white working-class lesbians, although living under oppressive circumstances, nevertheless became powerful agents of historical change. Kennedy and Davis provide a unique insider's perspective on butch-fem culture and argue that the roots of gay and lesbian liberation are found specifically in the determined resistance of working-class lesbians. This 20th anniversary edition republishes the book for a new generation of readers. It includes a new preface in which the authors reflect on where the last 20 years have taken them, and reminisce about the process of creating Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold. For anyone interested in lesbian life during the 1950s, or in the dynamics of butch-fem culture, this study remains the one that set the highest standard for all oral histories and ethnographies of lesbian communities anywhere."-- Provided by publisher"Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold traces the evolution of the lesbian community in Buffalo, New York from the mid-1930s up to the early 1960s.

The new lesbian aesthetic? Exploring gender style among femme, butch and androgynous sexual minority women - Gunn, Audrey; Hoskin, Rhea Ashley; Blair, Karen L. (Women's Studies International Forum, 2021)
The current study explored sexual minority women’s gender aesthetic and style by using van Anders’ (2015) sexual configurations theory (SCT), which allows for nuance in the measurement of gender/sex research. Previous research on sexual minority women has suggested a markedly masculine “Lesbian Aesthetic” (Huxley et al., 2014) and has connected aesthetic expression to internalized homophobia and levels of outness such that sexual minority women categorized as more feminine report higher rates of internalized homophobia and identity concealment. However, the bulk of past research used dichotomous measures of assessing gender and predated an ostensible shift in LGBTQ+ identities. To update this body of research, the current study explored gender aesthetics by asking sexual minority women to map their gender expression using SCT diagrams and complete measures of outness and internalized homophobia. We found no significant group differences in internalized homophobia or outness for femme, butch, and androgynous participants. Content analyses of gender diagrams suggest that the gender aesthetics of sexual minority women are neither monolithic nor masculine but may be beginning to lean towards the feminine and most certainly encompass a complex and diverse range of expressions

Knowledge Democracy and Epistemic In/Justice: Reflections on a Conversation - Hall, Budd L.; Godrie, Baptiste; Heck, Isabel (Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2020)
The focus of the article is on how knowledge is created, who creates knowledge, how knowledge is co-constructed, whose knowledge is excluded and how knowledge is being used to challenge inequalities and strengthen social movement capacity. This article grew from a fascinating conversation that the three of us had in Montreal in September of 2019. We decided to share our stories about knowledge and justice with a wider audience in part as a way for us to reflect further on the meaning of our initial conversation, but also to invite others into the discussion. Baptiste Godrie works in a research centre (CREMIS) affiliated with Quebec’s health care and social services system, Isabel Heck works with the anti-poverty organization Parole d’excluEs, both affiliated to universities, and Budd Hall works at the University of Victoria and is the Co-Chair of the UNESCO Chair in Community-Based research and social responsibility in higher education.

Epic Stone Butch transmasculinity in the work of Willa Cather - Hammer, K. Allison (Transgender Studies Quarterly, 2020)
Through application of the contemporary term transmasculinity and the more historical stone butch, the author questions the critical tendency to perceive American writer Willa Cather only as lesbian while ignoring or undertheorizing a transgender longing at play in her fiction, short stories, and letters. While biographical evidence must not be approached as simply coterminous with literary production, as literature often exceeds or resists such alignments, Cather's letters in particular suggest a strong identification with her male fictional alliances. Analysis of her letters alongside two of her most treasured, and disparaged, novels, One of Ours (1922) and The Professor's House (1925), conveys Cather's wish for an idealized masculinity, both for herself and for Western culture, that would survive two coeval historical processes and events: the closing of the American frontier and the First World War. Through what the author calls a stone butch “armature,” she and her characters retained masculine dignity despite historical foreclosure of Cather's manly ideal, Winston Churchill's Great Man, who was for her the artistic and intellectual casualty of the period. Cather expressed the peculiar nostalgic longing present in stone butch, and in the explosion of new forms of transmasculinity in the present. This suggests that historical transgender styles don't disappear entirely, even as new categories emerge.

The lesbian South: Southern feminists, the women in print movement, and the queer literary canon - Harker, Jaime (The University of North Carolina Press, 2018)
In this book, Jaime Harker uncovers a largely forgotten literary renaissance in southern letters. Anchored by a constellation of southern women, the Women in Print movement grew from the queer union of women’s liberation, civil rights activism, gay liberation, and print culture. Broadly influential from the 1970s through the 1990s, the Women in Print movement created a network of writers, publishers, bookstores, and readers that fostered a remarkable array of literature. With the freedom that the Women in Print movement inspired, southern lesbian feminists remade southernness as a site of intersectional radicalism, transgressive sexuality, and liberatory space. Including in her study well-known authors—like Dorothy Allison and Alice Walker—as well as overlooked writers, publishers, and editors, Harker reconfigures the southern literary canon and the feminist canon, challenging histories of feminism and queer studies to include the south in a formative role.

Producing desirable bodies: Boundary work in a lesbian niche dating site - Hightower, Joy L (Sexualities, 2015)
Cet article présente une étude de cas approfondie sur la manière dont les lesbiennes contemporaines utilisent les étiquettes dans le site de rencontres de niche « WomynLink.com ». En m'appuyant sur cinq mois d'ethnographie en ligne entre novembre 2011 et mars 2012, j'examine et compare l'utilisation par les membres butch, femme et queer des étiquettes et des présentations corporelles dans le salon de discussion (vidéo), les forums et les profils de WomynLink. J'ai également mené 21 entretiens en ligne via le service de discussion gratuit de WomynLink ou des services de messagerie externes tels que Skype. Je m'appuie sur la littérature sur la création de limites pour illustrer comment les membres femmes, butch et queer s'engagent dans différentes formes de travail sur les limites pour atteindre la désirabilité en ligne en réconciliant les tensions entre leur présentation corporelle genrée, l'utilisation des étiquettes et les perceptions que les autres membres ont d'eux. Les membres femmes cherchaient à mettre en valeur leur féminité, le travail de délimitation des butches mettait en évidence leur intérêt sexuel et les membres queer défendaient leur catégorie de sexe en tant que femme et leur identité sexuelle en tant que lesbienne. Ces modèles de travail sur les frontières donnent un aperçu de la façon dont l’importance des étiquettes de genre lesbiens a évolué, en particulier à l’ère contemporaine en ligne.

Killing rage: ending racism - hooks, bell (Penguing Books, 1995)
"One of our country's premier cultural and social critics, bell hooks has always maintained that eradicating racism and eradicating sexism must go hand in hand. But whereas many women have been recognized for their writing on gender politics, the female voice has been all but locked out of the public discourse on race. Killing Rage speaks to this imbalance. These twenty-three essays are written from a black and feminist perspective, and they tackle the bitter difficulties of racism by envisioning a world without it"--Back cover.

Reading, writing, and resistance in Audre Lorde’s Zami a new spelling of my name - Cannon, Sarita (Biography, 2019)
Dans sa biomythographie de 1982 Zami : A New Spelling of My Name , Audre Lorde explore comment l'alphabétisation peut être un outil hégémonique d'oppression, ainsi que comment elle peut être transformée en un outil qui favorise son développement en tant qu'artiste lesbienne noire. S'appuyant à la fois sur les leçons du système éducatif américain et sur l'héritage linguistique des femmes africaines de la diaspora, Lorde crée son propre monde discursif, marqué par l'hybridité, la multiplicité, la subversion ludique et la création communautaire. Elle redéfinit l'alphabétisation comme un processus dialogique et récursif de consommation et de création de récits au sein d'une communauté centrée sur les femmes.

Gender and extreme metal: Understanding gender relations in the Montreal extreme metal scene with schipper's gender framework - Beauchamp, Caroline (Université Concordia, 2021)
Extreme metal is a masculine space, yet more and more women join in. They face a contradiction: as women, they are expected to adopt feminine behaviours; however, they are part of a subculture that valorizes warrior masculinity. I sought to understand the gender expectations of the Montreal extreme metal scene and interpret the contradictions encountered by women in this scene with the help of Schippers’ (2007) theoretical framework on gender. To do so, I conducted 16 individual interviews with women and men who take part in the scene. This research fills a gap in the literature on gender that derives from Connell and Schippers’ writings and addresses issues that the field of metal studies has brushed over. I found that metal men are the “default” participants in the scene. They are expected to be fine music connoisseurs and even become musicians. In contrast, women’s presence is heterosexualized and attributed to a romantic or sexual interest in metal men. Women are suspected of being “poseuses” or groupies with no real interest in the music until proven otherwise. To become legitimate participants, they have to overcome those expectations and prove that they are worthy of being viewed through the prism of masculinity rather than femininity. They do so by proving their exceptionality through manhood acts and distancing themselves from other women. Despite their gender transgressions, women’s presence does not fundamentally question gender relations but reaffirms the overall primacy of masculinity over femininity.

Co-construction of a data collection tool: A case study with Atikamekw women - Basile, Suzy; Hugo Asselin; Thibault Martin (ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies, 2017)
Dans les cultures Autochtones, les savoirs, les rôles et les pratiques étaient historiquement basés sur la réciprocité et la complémentarité entre les genres. En excluant les femmes Autochtones des processus de prise de décision, les politiques coloniales ont réduit la base de savoirs sur laquelle les décisions s'appuient. Les voix des femmes Autochtones ont longtemps été exclues des recherches et les chercheurs ont joué un rôle important dans leur marginalisation. C'est dans ce contexte -- et dans un effort de décolonisation de la recherche -- que nous présentons une étude de cas du processus de co-construction d'un outil de collecte de données avec des femmes Atikamekw. En préparant un projet de recherche sur le rôle des femmes Autochtones dans la gouvernance du territoire et des ressources naturelles, nous avons travaillé avec trois femmes Atikamekw, qui ont attribué une grande importance au processus d'obtention du consentement des participantes. Nous avons élaboré le formulaire de consentement ensemble, afin qu'il réponde à leurs préoccupations quant à la confiance, la transparence et l'implication de la communauté tout au long de la recherche. Décoloniser la recherche implique que les outils de collecte de données ne devraient pas être élaborés dans des bureaux universitaires, mais par une collaboration significative avec les participants à la recherche.

Women without class: Chicas, cholas, trash, and the presence/absence of class identity - Bettie, Julie (Signs, 2000)
En examinant les categories exprimées par des étudiantes blanches et Mexicaines-Américaines d'origine modeste, l'autrice décrit des femmes sans classe selon un double sens : d'une part, leur difficulté quant à la mobilité sociale, et, d'autre part, leur absence d'identité de classe, qu'elle attribue au fait que la théorie sociale et l'analyse de classe, qui restent marquées blanches et masculines, continuent d'ignorer la position des femmes en tant que sujets de classes. La race et le genre continuent d'être considérés comme des épiphénomènes de la formation de classe alors qu'ils en sont des éléments constitutifs

Butch queens up in pumps: Gender, performance, and ballroom culture in Detroit - Bailey, Marlon M. (Triangulations: lesbian/gay/queer theater/drama/performance, 2013)
Butch Queens Up in Pumps examine la culture Ballroom, dans laquelle les individus LGBT des centres-villes s'habillent, dansent et voguent pour concourir pour des prix et des trophées. Les participants sont affiliés à une maison, une structure familiale alternative généralement nommée d'après les créateurs de haute couture et apportant son soutien à cette communauté diversifiée. La riche ethnographie de performance à la première personne de Marlon M. Bailey sur la scène Ballroom de Détroit examine Ballroom comme une formation culturelle queer qui bouleverse les notions dominantes de genre, de sexualité, de parenté et de communauté.

Class S: appropriation of ‘lesbian’ subculture in modern Japanese literature and New Wave cinema - Shamoon, Deborah (Cultural Studies, 2021)
In the 1920s in Japan, girls attending single-sex secondary schools developed a girls’ culture (shōjo bunka) or subculture to insulate themselves temporarily from the pressures of patriarchal society. Part of this subculture was a practice called s kankei (s or sister relationships), also called Class S, which were same-sex romantic attachments between classmates, condoned at the time as a temporary practice relationship that would end upon graduation, followed by an arranged marriage. Although s relationships were not ‘lesbian’ in the contemporary sense, literature and film created by men in the 1920s through the 1960s appropriated aspects of girls’ culture, including exploitative representation of female homosexuality. One example is Manji (Quicksand, 1928) by Tanizaki Jun’ichirō, which depicts an s relationship as lurid and perverse. Kawabata Yasunari plagiarized from his female disciple Nakazato Tsuneko in order to publish the most popular Class S novel of the era, Otome no minato (Harbor of Girls, 1937). Kawabata also included exploitative scenes of female homosexuality in his novel Utsukushisa to kanashimi to (Beauty and Sadness, 1963). Both Tanizaki’s and Kawabata’s novels were made into films by New Wave directors, Manji in 1964 by Masumura Yasuzō and Beauty and Sadness in 1965 by Shinoda Masahiro, and featured the first depictions of ‘lesbianism’ in Japanese film. Although these films reinscribe the male gaze, they helped inspire a nascent gay culture and opened the way for more authentic gay cinema. This essay recenters girls’ culture in modern Japanese literature and film, and discusses the variable meaning of female homosexuality for different audiences.

‘Passionate aesthetics’: T-P gender practices and discourses, and the hierarchies within lesbian (lala) communities in contemporary mainland China - Wang, Yiran (Journal of Gender Studies, 2021)
En tant que couple masculin-féminin comparable aux genres lesbiens butch-femme dans les sociétés euro-américaines, les rôles de genre TP constituent des éléments vivants dans la sous-culture lesbienne, ou lala , de la Chine continentale contemporaine. Sur la base d'une étude ethnographique menée au milieu des années 2010 à Shanghai et dans la province du Yunnan, en Chine, et en appliquant le cadre théorique de « l'esthétique passionnée », j'étudie dans cet article les discours et les pratiques pertinents pour les genres TP . J’analyse comment les hiérarchies ont été (re)produites au sein des communautés lala et comment, dans ces processus, les compréhensions (hétéro)normatives du genre et de la sexualité sont devenues à la fois sources de connaissances et objets de critique. Je soutiens que des esthétiques passionnées multiples et concurrentes, y compris la forme dominante d'hétéronormativité en Chine et les connaissances mondialisées, voire occidentales, sur le genre et la sexualité, ont entraîné trois grands types de hiérarchie parmi les lalas : des hiérarchies entre les catégories TP , qui sont paradoxalement définies par la notion de « pureté » ; les hiérarchies dans les discours féministes et activistes LGBTQ, qui banalisent, voire font taire, les incarnations quotidiennes du TP ; et les hiérarchies entre masculinité et féminité, qui encouragent diverses pratiques de masculinité féminine tout en valorisant la masculinité plutôt que la féminité.

Queer China: Lesbian and gay literature and visual culture under postsocialism - Bao, Hongwei (Literary cultures of the global south, 2020)
Ce livre analyse la production culturelle queer dans la Chine contemporaine pour cartographier les vastes transformations sociales en matière de genre, de sexualité et de désir. Il examine la littérature queer et les cultures visuelles de l'ère post-Mao et postsocialiste de la Chine pour montrer comment ces diverses formes et pratiques culturelles fonctionnent non seulement comme des formes d'activisme social spécifiques au contexte et culturellement sensibles, mais produisent également des types distincts de subjectivités de genre et sexuelles propres à Les conditions postsocialistes de la Chine. De la poésie à l'art du découpage de papier, de la « littérature camarade/gay » aux fanfictions amoureuses entre filles, des films lesbiens aux documentaires activistes, et d'un spectacle de dragsters à Shanghai à une représentation publique d'un mariage homosexuel à Pékin, le livre révèle une Chine queer dans toute sa complexité idéologique et son énergie créatrice. Riche empiriquement et méthodologiquement éclectique, Queer China tisse habilement la recherche historique et archivistique, l'analyse textuelle et discursive, ainsi que les entretiens et l'ethnographie. Innovant et mettant en avant une perspective non occidentale, ce travail transdisciplinaire contribue à de multiples domaines académiques, notamment les études littéraires et culturelles, les études sur les médias et la communication, les études cinématographiques et cinématographiques, l'art contemporain, les études de théâtre et de performance, les études de genre et de sexualité. , études Chine/Asie et pays du Sud, histoire culturelle et géographie culturelle, théorie politique et étude des mouvements sociaux.

Looking for Asian butch-dykes: Exploring filmic representations of east Asian butch-dykes in Donna Lee's Enter the mullet - Lin, Hui-Ling (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2009)
Asian butch-dykes have been overlooked in analyses of Chinese cinema, studies that often concentrate on “feminized” transgender roles. This article examines cinematic representations of Asian butch-dykes through film analysis of Enter the Mullet (2004), a five minute short, and in-depth interviews with the filmmaker, Donna Lee, a Chinese-Canadian in Vancouver. Lee’s film is inspired by Enter the Dragon (1973), starring Bruce Lee, the most recognized icon of Asian masculinity. Combining with the mullet hairstyle, which is often associated with White working-class, the filmmaker introduces viewers to the hybrid masculinity of Asian butch-dykes. The article argues that Asian female masculinity can be a strategic means of destabilizing the hegemony of White–male–middle-class masculinity

“A woman dressed like a man” gender trouble at the sapphic cabaret, Paris, 1930-1960 - Chaplin, Tamara (2021)
Les images des « Cabarets Saphiques » où des femmes se travestissent en hommes figurent parmi les symboles les plus médiatisés du désir lesbien. Pendant les années trente, plus de vingt de ces cabarets ouvraient leurs portes partout à Paris. Beaucoup d'entre eux ont survécu à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cet article examine la figure de l'entraîneuse, une employée souvent payée pour se travestir et qui travaillait dans ces lieux. Cette figure commerciale a joué un rôle particulier dans la promotion d'un schéma sexuel aujourd'hui appelé « butch/femme » que l'on explique d'habitude comme le produit du déterminisme biologique ou d'un choix personnel ou bien politique. Les représentations du genre encouragées par le Cabaret Saphique ont soutenu la formation d'une sous-culture lesbienne tout en rendant ce qui était alors perçu comme une menace contagieuse—la « lesbienne masculine »—immédiatement reconnaissable et donc plus facilement soumise à la surveillance et au contrôle.

Coping with the COVID‐19 crisis: Force majeure and gender performativity - Hennekam, Sophie; Shymko, Yuliya (Gender, Work & Organization, 2020)
This article examines the coping strategies of individuals during the confinement in France using a sensemaking lens. We draw on two studies consisting of 85 qualitative surveys followed by a diary in which 20 individuals wrote about their experiences during the first three weeks of the confinement. We employ an interpretative phenomenological approach to analyse the data. The findings reveal two patterns in the ways men and women cope with their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first pattern shows intensification of gender performativity manifested in the reproduction of ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ reactions to the crisis. The second pattern detects a tendency towards a gradual deflection from gender performances through mental improvisations that foster new awareness of the crisis presenting an opportunity to transcend traditional gender roles. Our study highlights some potential emancipatory implications the COVID-19 crisis may have for the practices of ‘doing gender’ and perceptions of work-life balance therefore instigating a transition towards more egalitarian households.

Always endangered, never extinct: Exploring contemporary butch lesbian identity in the UK - Mackay, Finn (Women's Studies International Forum, 2019)
This article presents empirical data from survey research into lesbian and queer masculinities in the United Kingdom, conducted in 2017, which garnered over two hundred responses. Four dominant themes emerged from the data gathered. These themes addressed: distinctions and relationships between the sexed body and gender identity; the contradictions of identifying with masculinities while critiquing hegemonic masculinity; a sense of anxiety or loss around a perceived decline of lesbian community and identities within it, particularly the identity of butch lesbian; and also the great variety of trans identities and how they are defined and distinct. There were many considered responses under all the above themes on the changing meaning of the butch lesbian signifier, from forty self-identified butch lesbians as well as from those identifying with other terms, and this topic is the focus of this article. I will explore the meaning and resonance of the butch lesbian identity in the UK context, and the sometimes rocky relationship to the explosion of newer terms describing sex and gender identities, such as masculine of centre (MOC), non-binary (NB), gender non-conforming (GNC) or transmasculine. While there was some unease that newer terms might or may have already eclipsed the category of butch, alongside a common assertion that the category of butch is considered old fashioned, ‘butch’ was still a term that valiantly persisted and held sentimental and political value. Many participants were keen that this identity be included and distinguished in the contemporary rainbow of possibilities for sexuality and gender identities in the UK.

Resisting and conforming to the ‘lesbian look’: The importance of appearance norms for lesbian and bisexual women - Huxley, Caroline; Clarke, Victoria; Halliwell, Emma (Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology, 2014)
Appearance is one way in which lesbian and bisexual identities and affiliation to lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) subculture can be demonstrated. ‘Butch’ and ‘androgynous’ styles have been used by lesbian women to communicate a non-heterosexual identity. However, some LGB appearance researchers have argued that there has been a mainstreaming and diversification of lesbian style in the last couple of decades, which has resulted in less distinction between lesbian and straight looks. This research draws on the Social Identity approach to explore contemporary style in lesbian and bisexual communities. Fifteen lesbian and bisexual women took part in semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic analysis. Although some participants reported a diversification of lesbian style, most used the term ‘butch’ to describe lesbian style, and a ‘boyish’ look was viewed as the most common contemporary lesbian style. By contrast, most participants could not identify distinct bisexual appearance norms. The data provide evidence of conflicting desires (and expectations) to visibly project social identity by conforming to specific lesbian styles, and to be an authentic, unique individual by resisting these subcultural styles

Crossing through Chueca: Lesbian literary culture in queer Madrid - Robbins, Jill (University of Minnesota Press, 2011)
Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la ville de Madrid a été marquée par la fierté, le féminisme et la mondialisation, mais aussi par les vestiges du machisme nourri pendant les longues années de la dictature de Franco. Crossing through Chueca examine comment la culture littéraire lesbienne s'inscrit dans ce mélange depuis la fin du mouvement contre-culturel la movida madrileña en 1988 jusqu'à la marche sur le mariage gay en 2005. Jill Robbins parcourt les différents espaces littéraires de la ville associés à la culture queer, en particulier le quartier gay de Chueca, révélant à quel point il est le produit d’interrelations – un site sillonné par une multiplicité de sujets qui le constituent comme un espace queer à travers la négociation de leurs identités sexuelles, raciales, de genre et de classe. Robbins reconnaît Chueca comme un espace politique également, un refuge contre l'homophobie. Elle montre également comment les pratiques spatiales et littéraires de Chueca sont liées aux enjeux économiques. En examinant comment les identités sexuelles des femmes sont devenues visibles dans et à travers le phénomène Chueca, ce travail est un exemple révélateur d'études queer transnationales au sein du débat occidental plus large sur le genre et la sexualité.

Virginia Woolf: Lesbian readings - Barrett, Eileen; Cramer, Patricia (New York University Press, 1997)
The last two decades have seen a resurgence of critical and popular attention to Virginia Woolf's life and work. Such traditional institutions as The New York Review of Books now pair her with William Shakespeare in promotional advertisements; her face is used to sell everything from Barnes & Noble books to Bass Ale. Virginia Woolf: Lesbian Readings represents the first book devoted to Woolf's lesbianism. Divided into two sections, Lesbian Intersections and Lesbian Readings of Woolf's Novels, these essays focus on how Woolf's private and public experience and knowledge of same-sex love influences her shorter fiction and novels. Lesbian Intersections includes personal narratives that trace the experience of reading Woolf through the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Lesbian Readings of Woolf's Novels provides lesbian interpretations of the individual novels, including Orlando, The Waves, and The Years. Breaking new ground in our understanding of the role Woolf's love for women plays in her major writing, these essays shift the emphasis of lesbian interpretations from Woolf's life to her work.

Heterosexual plots and lesbian narratives - Farwell, Marilyn R. (The Cutting edge (New York, N.Y.), 1996)
Qu’est-ce que la littérature lesbienne ? Doit-il contenir des personnages ouvertement lesbiens et les présenter sous un jour positif ? L’auteurice doit-iel être ouvertement (ou secrètement) lesbienne ? Doit-il y avoir un thème lesbien et doit-il être politiquement acceptable ? Marilyn Farwell examine ici le travail d'écrivaines tels qu'Adrienne Rich, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jeanette Winterson, Gloria Naylor et Marilyn Hacker pour répondre à ces questions. Divisant leurs écrits en deux genres : l'histoire romantique et l'histoire héroïque, ou de quête, Farwell aborde certaines des questions les plus problématiques à l'intersection de la littérature, du sexe, du genre et du postmodernisme. Illustrant comment le conflit générationnel entre les lesbiennes-féministes d’il y a vingt ans et les théoricien.nes queer d’aujourd’hui attise les feux critiques de la théorie lesbienne et littéraire contemporaine, Heterosexual plots and lesbian narratives conclut en plaidant en faveur d’une définition large et généreuse de l’écriture lesbienne.

Garçons manqués and femmes fortes: Two ambivalent figures of butch lesbianism in women's football in Cameroon - Ndjio, Basile (African Studies Review, 2022)
With the enactment of anti-homosexuality laws in the 1960s, Cameroon's government officially endorsed heterosexualist ideologies which legitimize the alienation and criminalization of minority and nonconforming sexual and gender identities. One group, the so-called garçons manqués, embodies the stigmatized masculine or "butch" lesbian identity. The political management of lesbianism in Cameroon is ambivalent, however, with respect to sport, and particularly regarding the national pastime, football. Whereas masculine lesbians are routinely branded as "butches" or "sexual predators" who threaten African hetero-patriarchy, "strong women"" (femmes fortes) are celebrated as pivotal to the national ambition. Cameroon's government strategically amalgamates both heteronationalism and homonationalism in the interest of national pride.

Gendered paths to asset accumulation? Markets, savings, and credit in developing countries - Catanzarite, Zachary; Diana, Carmen Diana; Doss, Cheryl D.; Oduro, Abena D.; Suchitra, J. Y.; Swaminathan, Hema (Feminist Economics, 2019)
An extensive literature shows how property inheritance is biased against women in many developing countries, yet relatively little attention has been given to gender bias in other means of acquiring physical assets, such as the market. Using individual-level data from Ecuador, Ghana, and Karnataka, India, this study analyzes modes of acquisition and financing of housing, agricultural land, other real estate, and businesses. The findings show that women acquire fewer of their assets through the market than men, and that in asset markets, both men and women are more likely to use their own savings than to use credit. The study also analyzes current loans for asset acquisition and finds that, in general, women tend to be somewhat disadvantaged in securing formal bank loans. The results suggest that financial inclusion to promote more gender equal access to accumulation of assets should focus on both savings and credit, with priority to savings.

Concrete Ways to Decolonize Research - Asselin, Hugo; Basile, Suzie (An International Journal of Critical Geographies, 2018)
« Almost 20 years after Māori scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s call to decolonize research (Smith, 1999), significant progress has been made into drafting ethics principles to guide research with Indigenous people (e.g., CIHR et al., 2014). However, transforming principles into actual practices is easier said than done. It is increasingly recognizedthat “knowing the key guiding principles for research with Indigenous peoples is not always enough and [principles need to be]translated into day-to-day research practices”(Morton Ninomiya and Pollock, 2017, p. 29). This themed issue presents studies on various topics conducted in different geographical and cultural settings and suggesting concrete ways to decolonize research. The call for papers was issued following the 3rd Seminar on the ethics of research with Aboriginal people held at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue in late 2014. Two previous editions of the seminar (in 2009 and 2011) had invitedparticipants2to share experiences of good and bad research practices, summarized in Asselin and Basile (2012). The 3rd seminar took a step further in focusing on concrete ways to decolonize research.In what follows, we discuss research decolonization and summarize the key messages from the keynote speakers of the 3rd seminar, some of which have contributed papers to this themed issue. Additional contributions widened the geographical scope considered (Canada, Mexico, Peru) in addition to providingmore examples of concrete ways to decolonize research. » [Extrait original p. 643-644|

La recherche partenariale comme espace de soutien à l’innovation - Bernier, Jocelyne (Global Health Promotion, 2014)
« Une démarche d’évaluation partenariale impliquant plusieurs acteurs est traversée par un processus de négociations et d’ajustements entre des préoccupations, des responsabilités et des intérêts divers. Comment susciter un dialogue entre des savoirs d’expertise et des savoirs d’expérience afin de produire des connaissances scientifiquement fondées et utiles pour les acteurs impliqués dans les programmes ? Loin d’être un processus mécanique, cette démarche implique un travail délicat de recherche d’équilibre qui repose sur un cadre de partenariat négocié. La mise en place d’un comité de pilotage animé par une fonction d’interface entre les parties prenantes de l’intervention étudiée est de plus en plus reconnue comme une des conditions de réussite de la recherche partenariale. Ces conditions permettent de déployer un système réflexif qui peut soutenir l’innovation sociale, lorsque la formulation du problème et les actions qui en découlent continuent de s’enrichir au fur et à mesure que se développent les connaissances sur l’intervention » [Résumé original]

La recherche partenariale au Québec : tendances et tensions au sein de l’université - Dumais, Lucie (SociologieS, 2011)
« L’article tente dans une première partie de produire un classement des pratiques de recherche partenariale ayant cours dans les universités au Québec. Sans être une investigation systématique, elle puise dans diverses disciplines des sciences sociales et dans divers domaines de recherche. Deux tendances semblent se dessiner, l’une plus proche de la vision émancipatrice et l’autre plus axée sur les stratégies d’innovation sociale. La réflexion se poursuit par l’exposition, en seconde partie d’article, de trois nouveaux enjeux engendrés par l’essor de la recherche partenariale au sein de l’institution universitaire : la tension avec la recherche traditionnelle, la démarcation du savoir universitaire des autres types de savoirs et, enfin, l’éthique de la recherche » [Résumé original]

The challenges of collaboration for academic and community partners in a research partnership: Points to consider - Friedman Ross, Lainie; Loup, Allan; Nelson, Robert M.; Botkin, Jeffrey R.; Lost, Rhonda; Smith, George R. Jr.; Gehlert, Sarah (Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics, 2010)
« The philosophical underpinning of Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) entails a collaborative partnership between academic researchers and the community. The Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) model is the partnership model most widely discussed in the CEnR literature and is the primary model we draw upon in this discussion of the collaboration between academic researchers and the community. In CPBR, the goal is for community partners to have equal authority and responsibility with the academic research team, and that the partners engage in respectful negotiation both before the research begins and throughout the research process to ensure that the concerns, interests, and needs of each party are addressed. The negotiation of a fair, successful, and enduring partnership requires transparency and understanding of the different assets, skills and expertise that each party brings to the project. Delineating the expectations of both parties and documenting the terms of agreement in a memorandum of understanding or similar document may be very useful. This document is structured to provide a “points- to-consider” roadmap for academic and community research partners to establish and maintain a research partnership at each stage of the research process » [Résumé original]

Framework for Aboriginal-guided decolonizing research involving Métis and First Nations persons with diabetes - Bartlett, Judith G.; Iwasaki, Yoshitaka; Gottlieb, Benjamin; Hall, Darlene; Mannell, Roger (Social Science & Medicine, 2007)
« This paper documents the process of implementing an Aboriginal-guided research approach to examining the lived experiences of Metis and First Nations peoples with diabetes in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A newly developed Aboriginal-oriented process framework for decolonizing research includes, in order of application, the six processes of rationalizing, enabling, facilitating, experiencing, accepting, and enacting decolonizing research. We review the key methodological elements of our research as a basis for discussing this decolonizing process framework that challenges traditional western ways of doing research, and requires the reformulation of underlying assumptions and methods. Aboriginal-grounded decolonizing research processes have implications for health researchers and health service providers who work with Indigenous peoples worldwide and are particularly useful for developing culturally grounded, communitybased health promotion programs for Indigenous peoples suffering from health-related problems, including diabetes » [Résumé original].

Mouths of rain: An anthology of Black lesbian thought - Jones, Briona Simone (The New Press, 2021)
A groundbreaking collection tracing the history of intellectual thought by Black Lesbian writers, in the tradition of The New Press’s perennial seller Words of Fire “Briona Simone Jones’s anthology Mouths of Rain is an audacious, unapologetic, transgressive collection of Black ‘queer’ writing across genre, time, identity, age, and political leanings. This sister/companion to Words of Fire, published thirty years ago, makes visible—again—our passionate and unwavering commitments to the eradication of all oppressions. It bears witness to the necessity and power of the field of Black Lesbian Studies and is a love offering to us all.” —Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women’s Studies at Spelman College and editor of Words of Fire: An Anthology of African-American Feminist Thought Winner, Publishing Triangle’s Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction Winner, Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Anthology African American lesbian writers and theorists have made extraordinary contributions to feminist theory, activism, and writing. Mouths of Rain, the companion anthology to Beverly Guy-Sheftall’s classic Words of Fire, traces the long history of intellectual thought produced by Black Lesbian writers, spanning the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century. Using “Black Lesbian” as a capacious signifier, Mouths of Rain includes writing by Black women who have shared intimate and loving relationships with other women, as well as Black women who see bonding as mutual, Black women who have self-identified as lesbian, Black women who have written about Black Lesbians, and Black women who theorize about and see the word lesbian as a political descriptor that disrupts and critiques capitalism, heterosexism, and heteropatriarchy. Taking its title from a poem by Audre Lorde, Mouths of Rain addresses pervasive issues such as misogynoir and anti-blackness while also attending to love, romance, “coming out,” and the erotic

Deconstructing privilege: Teaching and learning as allies in the classroom - Case, Kim (Routledge, 2013)
Although scholarly examinations of privilege have increased in recent decades, an emphasis on privilege studies pedagogy remains lacking within institutions. This edited collection explores best practices for effective teaching and learning about various forms of systemic group privilege such as that based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, and class. Formatted in three easy-to-follow sections, Deconstructing Privilege charts the history of privilege studies and provides intersectional approaches to the topic. Drawing on a wealth of research and real-life accounts, this book gives educators both the theoretical foundations they need to address issues of privilege in the classroom and practical ways to forge new paths for critical dialogues in educational settings. Combining interdisciplinary contributions from leading experts in the field-- such as Tim Wise and Abby Ferber-- with pedagogical strategies and tips for teaching about privilege, Deconstructing Privilege is an essential book for any educator who wants to address what privilege really means in the classroom.

Sovereign erotics: A collection of Two-Spirit literature - Driskill, Qwo-Li; Justice, Daniel Heath; Miranda, Deborah; Tatonetti, Lisa (The University of Arizona Press, 2011)
Les personnes bispirituelles, identifiées par de nombreux noms et positions tribales spécifiques au sein de leurs communautés, vivent, aiment et créent de l'art depuis des temps immémoriaux. Ce n’est cependant que dans les années 1970 que la littérature autochtone queer contemporaine a attiré l’attention du public. Même aujourd’hui, seule une poignée de livres en parlent spécifiquement, notamment la collection de 1988 Living the Spirit: A Gay American Indian Anthology. Depuis la publication de ce livre il y a vingt-trois ans, aucune autre collection n'a été publiée se concentrant explicitement sur l'écriture et l'art des peuples autochtones bispirituels et queer. Cette collection historique s'efforce de refléter la complexité des identités au sein des communautés autochtones gaies, lesbiennes, bisexuelles, transgenres, queer et bispirituelles (GLBTQ2). Rassemblant le travail d'écrivains confirmés et de nouvelles voix talentueuses, cette anthologie couvre les genres (fiction, non-fiction, poésie et essai) et les thèmes (mémoire, histoire, sexualité, indigénéité, amitié, famille, amour et perte) et représente un tournant décisif. moment dans les littératures amérindiennes et autochtones, les études queer et les intersections entre les deux. En collaboration, les pièces de Sovereign Erotics démontrent non seulement la diversité radicale des voix des écrivains autochtones GLBTQ2 d'aujourd'hui, mais également la beauté, la force et la résilience des personnes autochtones GLBTQ2 au XXIe siècle.

The lesbian in literature - Grier, Barbara (Naiad Press, 1981)
En 1981, Barbara Grier a publié la troisième édition du très influent Lesbienne dans la littérature . L'avant-propos de Maida Tilchen pour la troisième édition donne un aperçu complet de l'histoire de The Lesbian In Literature. L'histoire de La Lesbienne dans la littérature est typique d'une grande partie de la culture lesbienne. Bien qu'il ait été principalement compilé par une femme incroyable, Barbara Grier, des centaines de femmes ont contribué à son contenu. Cela a commencé comme une conséquence de The Ladder , le magazine lesbien publié de 1956 à 1972. Barbara Grier collectait des informations sur l'écriture lesbienne depuis de nombreuses années. En 1958, Marion Zimmer Bradley (maintenant une écrivaine de science-fiction bien connue) a compilé deux brèves listes de livres, intitulées « Astra's Tower Special Leaflets #2 et #3 ». En 1960, Bradley et Barbara Grier, qui utilisaient le pseudonyme de « Gene Damon », publièrent une bibliographie dactylographiée et polycopiée intitulée « The Checklist », suivie de suppléments en 1961 et 1962. En 1967, The Ladder a publié la première édition de The Lesbian in Literature , de Gene Damon et Lee Stuart. Il comprenait environ trois mille livres publiés jusqu'en 1965. Pendant ce temps, Barbara écrivait une chronique régulière pour The Ladder intitulée « Lesbiana », dans laquelle elle discutait brièvement de nouveaux livres écrits par des écrivains connus pour être lesbiennes ou ayant un certain rapport avec le lesbiennes. Des lecteurs d'échelle du monde entier lui ont envoyé des informations pour la chronique. En 1975, la deuxième édition. une version mise à jour de la bibliographie a été publiée. Les auteurs étaient Gene Damon, Jan Watson et Robin Jordan. Je me souviens avec quel enthousiasme la publication prochaine de cette deuxième édition a été discutée lors de la Conférence des écrivains lesbiens de 1975 à Chicago. Toutes les femmes savaient à quel point La Lesbienne dans la littérature serait utile, qu'elles l'utilisent principalement en tant que lectrices, écrivaines, collectionneuses de livres, bibliographes, biographes, archivistes, historiennes, chercheuses ou bibliothécaires.

The future of diversity - Kuptsch, Christiane; Charest, Éric (International Labour Organization, 2021)
In this collection, scholars and practitioners reflect on the most appropriate interventions to create a more inclusive labour market for all. They explore the economic case for diversity and diversity management strategies, finding that diversity and inclusion must go hand in hand. The book also sheds light on the policy dilemma between respecting individuals and countering structural inequalities, which often requires categorization into groups. The authors remind us that there is diversity within diversity: not everyone receiving the same label has the same needs. The book covers a range of issues including gender equality and mainstreaming, migration and ethnic diversity, racism, violence against LGBTI people and age discrimination. It is thus a rich source of inspiration for anyone wishing to move towards greater justice in the labour market.

Feminist economics: Theoretical and political dimensions feminist economics - Agenjo-Calderón, Astrid; Gálvez-Muñoz, Lina (American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 2019)
Feminist economics is a school of economic thought and political action that gained important visibility during the 1990s, although its origins can be dated back to the mid-19th century. Since then, feminist economics has developed its own concepts, analytical frameworks, and methodologies. With gender as a central category, it seeks a more integral and humane comprehension of the economy and of the processes of inclusion and exclusion taking place in it. In addition, feminist economics has grown into a political practice that aims at improving the functioning of the economic system so that all people can have access to a dignified life on the basis of equality. This article presents a general systematization of these theoretical and political dimensions, particularly focusing on the critique of the neoclassical paradigm and its political correlates. We connect the epistemological, methodological, and conceptual contributions of feminist economics, as well as its propositions for transformative action, to specific debates on economic issues, such as the ecological emergency, crisis and austerity, the commodification of life, and the liberalization of trade.

“Saw you in the dark”: Exploring Rufus Wainwright’s emotional vulnerability in fan-captured live performance videos - Salerno, Stephanie (Performance Matters, 2019)
A Victorian-inspired, deplumed, black mourning gown; a video of a kohl-painted eye, staring, blinking, and weeping; and a baritone voice mingling with solo piano are the audio and visual touchstones of Rufus Wainwright’s 2010 live tour of All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu. Using performance analysis of fan-captured performances posted on YouTube, this article argues that digital viewership queers, or alters, the audience’s experience, thus empowering spectators to engage with the emotional vulnerability, grief, and genre-bending of Lulu. For a work like Lulu, performed as a song cycle and without official music videos or a professional live recording, fan videos fill a void, at once cutting a major expense of the artist/label while empowering the audience to capture and share what they find to be meaningful online. In this study, four fan-captured live Lulu performances reveal moments of elision, uncertainty, and the blurring of the artist and the artist’s persona within digital “third space.” Through this lens, persona and grief are read within digital viewings of Wainwright’s live performances while framing online spectatorship as a queer practice of meaning-making.

Writing intimacy into feminist geography - Moss, Pamela; Donovan, Courtney (Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Intimacy, expressed through the feelings and sensations of the researcher, is bound up in the work of a feminist geographer. Tapping into this intimacy and including it in academic writing facilitates a grasping of the effects of power in particular places and initiates a discussion about how to access and tease out what constitutes the intimate both ethically and politically throughout the research process. This collection provides valuable reflections about intimacy in the research process - from encounters in the field, through data analysis, to the various pieces of written work. A global and heterogeneous pool of scholars and researchers introduce personal ways of writing intimacy into feminist geography. ​ As authors expand existing conceptualizations of intimacy and include their own stories, chapters explore the methodological challenges of using intimacy in research as an approach, a topic and a site of interaction. The book is valuable reading for students and researchers of Geography, as well as anyone interested in the ethics and practicalities of feminist, critical and emotional research methodologies.

Gender and the political economy of land in Africa - Kouamé, Euphrasie B.H.; Fofona, Namizata B. (UNU-INRA Working Papers, 2015)
Evidence shows that secure land rights have positive effects on poor people in general and women in particular, especially where households previously had little security. Several countries in Africa have been undertaking land reform initiatives that prohibit gender-based discrimination; however, the results revealed a substantial gap between the development of laws and their effective implementation. This paper draws attention to the political systems within which land tenure and property rights operate, especially for women. It also points out the main challenges in securing women’s land rights in Africa and highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits of increasing women’s access to land. The analysis shows that although many of the changes in policy and law appear to be legal and technical, access to and control over land is in practice related to socio-economic characteristics and governed by cultural practices and power relations at the family, community and country levels. The paper therefore recognizes the need for innovative approaches that go beyond property rights in operationalising strategies that strengthen women’s access to land. It is not enough for land legislation to be gender-sensitive; it must be gender-transformational. Land markets could potentially contribute to this transformation but their role is still limited by poor institutional capacity. The roles that different actors (women, men, women’s organizations, community leaders, donors) can play would be crucial in the process of securing women’s access to land in Africa.

“Oh what a world”: Queer Masculinities, the musical construction of a reparative cultural historiography, and the music of Rufus Wainwright - Schwandt, Kevin C. (Université du Minnesota, 2010)
Throughout his ascendancy in fame and cultural visibility, singer/songwriter and gay pop icon Rufus Wainwright's output has been consistently related, by scholars and critics alike, to camp aesthetics, modes of artistic expression typically understood as emerging from queer communities, particularly certain gay male populations, but ones whose political potential is highly contested. Traditional conceptions of camp, as most famously articulated by Susan Sontag in the 1960s, emphasize style over content, necessarily rendering it politically-disengaged. However, scholars have vehemently challenged conceptions like Sontag's, in order to reclaim camp as a potent means to facilitate queer world-making and a powerful resistance to heteronormativity. I examine Wainwright's image and music in order to theorize a new queer interpretive listening position. Specifically, I draw upon the literary perspective of “reparative reading,” articulated by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in opposition to what she describes as “paranoid reading,” to propose a uniquely queer approach to musical and cultural historiography, exemplified by Wainwright's music. Much of the current queer musicology focuses on lost histories, systematic marginalization, and the commoditization of queer identities. While such approaches have produced important insights, thorough examination of the relationships between queer cultural products and their queer reception has proven elusive. This project suggests a unique approach to understanding the musical construction of a specific kind of queer masculinity, one which combines authorial creation with reparative conceptions of reception, in order to theorize a uniquely gay male interpretive position. When viewed through a theoretical lens combining politically-potent conceptions of camp performativity with a reparative reading position, Wainwright's music strikingly enacts Philip Brett's call to claim, not historical evidence, but the right of interpretation, emerging as an act of resistance via the reclamation and consolidation of a queer interpretive authority. In this way, Wainwright articulates both a rupture in the history of queer masculinity and a powerful means of resistance to the often-exclusionary relationships between literary, musical, and artistic objects and the heteronormative cultural systems in which they are created.

Loving in the war years: And other writings, 1978-1999 - Moraga, Cherrie (Haymarket Books, 2023)
Une édition mise à jour combinant deux œuvres classiques de la littérature chicana et queer, avec une nouvelle introduction de l'écrivaine et sommité renommée Cherríe Moraga. Pour célébrer le 40e anniversaire de sa publication originale, cette édition mise à jour de Loving in the War Years combine les mémoires classiques de Moraga avec La dernière génération : poésie et prose, qui constitue une pierre de touche stimulante, inspirante et perspicace pour les artistes et les activistes, ainsi que pour toustes cielles qui s'efforcent de favoriser l'accueil et la communauté. Les puissants mémoires de Cherríe Moraga restent plus urgents que jamais. Elle explore les intersections de ses identités chicana et lesbienne, se déplaçant avec grâce entre poésie et prose, espagnol et anglais, récits personnels et théorie politique. Moraga raconte avoir parcouru le monde en grande partie en tant qu'étrangère, encerclant les sociétés interconnectées qui l'entouraient dans une perspective lointaine mais observatrice. En fin de compte, cependant, ses écrits servent de pont entre ses cultures, ses langues, sa famille et elle-même, lui permettant de regarder à l'intérieur pour forger des liens à partir de parties autrement inaccessibles de son monde intérieur, pour montrer à quel point la profonde conscience de soi et l'engagement compatissant envers son propre l'environnement est essentiel à la construction d'une solidarité mondiale entre les peuples et les mouvements politiques.

Lesbian potentiality and feminist media in the 1970s - Samer, Rox (A camera obscura book, 2022)
In Lesbian Potentiality and Feminist Media in the 1970s, Rox Samer explores how 1970s feminists took up the figure of the lesbian in broad attempts to reimagine gender and sexuality. Samer turns to feminist film, video, and science fiction literature, offering a historiographical concept called “lesbian potentiality”—a way of thinking beyond what the lesbian was, in favor of how the lesbian signified what could have come to be. Samer shows how the labor of feminist media workers and fans put lesbian potentiality into movement. They see lesbian potentiality in feminist prison documentaries that theorize the prison industrial complex’s racialized and gendered violence and give image to Black feminist love politics and freedom dreaming. Lesbian potentiality also circulates through the alternative spaces created by feminist science fiction and fantasy fanzines like The Witch and the Chameleon and Janus. It was here that author James Tiptree, Jr./Alice B. Sheldon felt free to do gender differently and inspired many others to do so in turn. Throughout, Samer embraces the perpetual reimagination of “lesbian” and the lesbian’s former futures for the sake of continued, radical world-building.

Performing autobiography: Narrating a life as activism - Powell, Katrina M. (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021)
Performing Auto/biography: Narrating a Life as Activismanalyzes the rhetorical strategies employed in five authors' auto/biographical texts, examining their representations of identities and the public implications of writing individual identity. Exploring the ways race, class, culture, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality might affect the form(s) in which writers choose to write (e.g., memoir, fictional autobiography, poetry), questions how autobiographers challenge notions of genre, truth, and representation. This builds on the argument that constructing identity is a Performing Autobiography performance, one that can simultaneously use and subvert traditional notions of rhetoric and genre. By examining the auto/biographical texts of Zora Neale Hurston, Audre Lorde, Dorothy Allison, Joyce Johnson, and Shirley Geok-lin Lim together, the book theorizes self-representation and genres as rhetorical performances, and therefore their texts can be seen as "performative auto/biography"--transgressive archives where readers are asked to consider their own identities and act accordingly. In doing so, this book contributes to growing theories in feminist rhetorics and auto/biography studies, arguing that these performative genres advocate for life narratives as political and social activism.

Lesbian feminism: Essays opposing global heteropatriarchies - Banerjea, Niharika; Browne, Kath; Ferreira, Eduarda; Olasik, Marta; Podmore, Julie (Zed Books, 2019)
S'appuyant sur l'incroyable richesse de la diversité des langues, des cultures et des mouvements dans lesquels les féminismes lesbiens se sont articulés, ce livre confronte la dévalorisation historique de la politique lesbienne-féministe au sein du discours anglo-américain et déclenche une discussion transnationale et transgénérationnelle sur la pertinence des féminismes lesbiens. dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, une discussion qui remet en question la vision du féminisme lesbien comme statique et essentialiste. En examinant attentivement les débats contemporains, ces écrivai.n.es, théoricien.n.e.s, universitaires et militant.e.s examinent la place plus large des féminismes lesbiens au sein de la théorie queer, du féminisme postcolonial et du mouvement pour les droits LGBT. Il examine comment les féminismes lesbiens peuvent contribuer aux discussions sur l'intersectionnalité, s'engager dans l'activisme trans et le besoin de trans-inclusion, pour finalement montrer comment les féminismes lesbiens peuvent offrir une approche transformatrice des politiques sexuelles et de genre d'aujourd'hui.

We have always been here. A queer muslim memoir. - Habib, Samra (2019)
A queer Muslim searches for the language to express her truest self, making peace with her sexuality, her family, and Islam. Growing up in Pakistan, Samra Habib lacks a blueprint for the life she wants. She has a mother who gave up everything to be a pious, dutiful wife and an overprotective father who seems to conspire against a life of any adventure. Plus, she has to hide the fact that she's Ahmadi to avoid persecution from religious extremists. As the threats against her family increase, they seek refuge in Canada, where new financial and cultural obstacles await them. When Samra discovers that her mother has arranged her marriage, she must again hide a part of herself--the fun-loving, feminist teenager that has begun to bloom--until she simply can't any longer. So begins a journey of self-discovery that takes her to Tokyo, where she comes to terms with her sexuality, and to a queer-friendly mosque in Toronto, where she returns to her faith in the same neighbourhood where she attended her first drag show. Along the way, she learns that the facets of her identity aren't as incompatible as she was led to believe, and that her people had always been there--the world just wasn't ready for them yet

Native country of the heart: A memoir - Moraga, Cherríe (Picador, 2019)
"This memoir's beauty is in its fierce intimacy." --Roy Hoffman, The New York Times Book ReviewOne of Literary Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2019From the celebrated editor of This Bridge Called My Back, Cherríe Moraga charts her own coming-of-age alongside her mother’s decline, and also tells the larger story of the Mexican American diaspora.Native Country of the Heart: A Memoir is, at its core, a mother-daughter story. The mother, Elvira, was hired out as a child, along with her siblings, by their own father to pick cotton in California’s Imperial Valley. The daughter, Cherríe Moraga, is a brilliant, pioneering, queer Latina feminist. The story of these two women, and of their people, is woven together in an intimate memoir of critical reflection and deep personal revelation. As a young woman, Elvira left California to work as a cigarette girl in glamorous late-1920s Tijuana, where an ambiguous relationship with a wealthy white man taught her life lessons about power, sex, and opportunity. As Moraga charts her mother’s journey―from impressionable young girl to battle-tested matriarch to, later on, an old woman suffering under the yoke of Alzheimer’s―she traces her own self-discovery of her gender-queer body and Lesbian identity, as well as her passion for activism and the history of her pueblo. As her mother’s memory fails, Moraga is driven to unearth forgotten remnants of a U.S. Mexican diaspora, its indigenous origins, and an American story of cultural loss.Poetically wrought and filled with insight into intergenerational trauma, Native Country of the Heart is a reckoning with white American history and a piercing love letter from a fearless daughter to the mother she will never lose.

Their own agenda: The history, development, and culture of women's orchestras outside the united states - Alger, Bonnie Eve (Université du Maryland, 2018)
Women have been active as performers of instrumental music since the Medieval period, and yet their contributions are often overlooked. This dissertation examines the history of women’s orchestras outside the United States, and explores their development, as well as reasons for existing. Several factors regarding their development are taken into consideration, including time period, country, and culture in which the ensemble is present. The birth of the women’s orchestra is traced from the ospedali of the 18th century Venice to today. All-female ensembles from England, Canada, Cuba, and Afghanistan are profiled, as well as the Women’s Orchestra in Auschwitz. Two modern-day women’s orchestras – the Allegra Chamber Orchestra in Vancouver, British Columbia, and my recital orchestra at the University of Maryland – were surveyed in an attempt to learn more about the culture of women’s orchestras. This paper seeks to answer the questions “What is the culture of women's orchestras today, and should they continue to exist?”

Lesbian modernism: Censorship, sexuality and genre fiction - English, Elizabeth (Edinburgh critical studies in modernist culture, 2015)
La première étude de livre explorant l'importance du genre pour le corpus littéraire que nous appelons le modernisme lesbien. Elizabeth English explore le dilemme esthétique suscité par la censure du roman de Radclyffe Hall, Le Puits de solitude, en 1928. Confrontées aux représailles juridiques et financières, les écrivaines ont été contraintes de se demander comment elles pourraient représenter l'identité et le désir lesbiens. L’expérimentation moderniste a souvent été considérée comme une réponse à ce problème, mais l’anglais innove en affirmant que les fictions de genre populaires offraient une stratégie créative contre la menace d’être détectée et punie. Son étude examine une gamme de réponses à ce dilemme en proposant des lectures approfondies et éclairantes de fictions fantastiques, policières et historiques écrites par des auteurs traditionnels et modernistes. L’anglais présente des écrivaines jusqu’ici négligées issues de divers horizons et s’appuie sur des documents d’archives examinés ici pour la première fois pour retracer la topographie de la littérature lesbienne des années 1920-1940 et réévaluer la définition du modernisme lesbien. Principales caractéristiques: Repense le projet moderniste lesbien pour démontrer que la fiction de genre a non seulement influencé des écrivaines modernistes tels que Woolf et Stein, mais a également trouvé sa place dans leur travail ostensiblement intellectuel. Met en lumière des écrivaines grand public jusqu'ici négligés travaillant dans des genres populaires qui ont contribué à l'esthétique moderniste lesbienne Situé pour la première fois Katharine Burdekin dans le contexte du modernisme lesbien, en utilisant des documents d'archives inédits (y compris des lettres et des manuscrits) Divisée en trois grands genres multi-auteurices (fictions fantastiques, historiques et policières), l'étude couvre des fictions populaires telles que l'écriture utopique, le surnaturel, la biographie historique, la romance historique et le roman policier classique de campagne.

The biopolitics of gender - Repo, Jemima (Oxford University Press, 2015)
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.

Lesbian scandal and the culture of modernism - Medd, Jodie (Cambridge University Press, 2012)
Before lesbianism became a specific identity category in the West, its mere suggestion functioned as a powerful source of scandal in early twentieth-century British and Anglo-American culture. Reconsidering notions of the 'invisible' or 'apparitional' lesbian, Jodie Medd argues that lesbianism's representational instability, and the scandals it generated, rendered it an influential force within modern politics, law, art and the literature of modernist writers like James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf. Medd's analysis draws on legal proceedings and parliamentary debates as well as crises within modern literary production - patronage relations, literary obscenity and cultural authority - to reveal how lesbian suggestion forced modern political, cultural and literary institutions to negotiate their own identities, ideals and limits. Medd's text will be of great interest to scholars and graduate students in gender and women's studies, modernist literary studies and English literature

Radclyffe Hall: A life in the writing - Dellamora, Richard (Haney Foundation series, 2011)
The Well of Loneliness is probably the most famous lesbian novel ever written, and certainly the most widely read. It contains no explicit sex scenes, yet in 1928, the year in which the novel was published, it was deemed obscene in a British court of law for its defense of sexual inversion and was forbidden for sale or import into England. Its author, Radclyffe Hall, was already well-known as a writer and West End celebrity, but the fame and notoriety of that one book has all but eclipsed a literary output of some half-dozen other novels and several volumes of poetry. In Radclyffe Hall: A Life in the Writing Richard Dellamora offers the first full look at the entire range of Hall's published and unpublished works of fiction, poetry, and autobiography and reads through them to demonstrate how she continually played with the details of her own life to help fashion her own identity as well as to bring into existence a public lesbian culture. Along the way, Dellamora revises many of the truisms about Hall that had their origins in the memoirs of her long-term partner, Una Troubridge, and that have found an afterlife in the writings of Hall's biographers. In detailing Hall's explorations of the self, Dellamora is the first seriously to consider their contexts in Freudian psychoanalysis as understood in England in the 1920s. As important, he uncovers Hall's involvement with other modes of speculative psychology, including Spiritualism, Theosophy, and an eclectic brand of Christian and Buddhist mysticism. Dellamora's Hall is a woman of complex accommodations, able to reconcile her marriage to Troubridge with her passionate affairs with other women, and her experimental approach to gender and sexuality with her conservative politics and Catholicism. She is, above all, a thinker continually inventive about the connections between selfhood and desire, a figure who has much to contribute to our own efforts to understand transgendered and transsexual existence today.

Gone ‘underground’? Lesbian visibility and the consolidation of queer space in Montréal - Podmore, Julie A. (Social & Cultural Geography, 2006)
Pendant les deux dernières décennies, les chercheur.e.s en études urbaines ont abordé la question du rôle de l'appartenance sexuelle dans les géographies gais et lesbiennes dans les grandes villes postindustrielles. Ces études montrent que si les hommes gais ont souvent produit des territoires distincts et fermés dans les quartiers centraux urbains, les formes que prennent l'emprise territoriale lesbienne à l'échelle urbaine sont demeurées relativement «invisibles» du fait que leurs communautés sont conçues à partir de réseaux sociaux et non de zones commerciales. Une comparaison de la manière dont ces deux populations ont évolué dans les quartiers centraux urbains des villes postindustrielles durant les années 1990 «queer» permet de constater l'existence d'un clivage lié au sexe et d'une interprétation historique particulière de leur évolution territoriale et de leur visibilité qui pourraient se démarquer de manière significative de celles des années précédentes. Cet article présente donc un aperçu historique sur une longue période de la géographie des lesbiennes dans une agglomération urbaine importante à partir d'une étude de cas sur l'univers des bars de lesbiennes depuis 1950. L'étude porte tout particulièrement sur les conditions préalables au développement d'une zone commerciale lesbienne dans la ville au cours des années 1980, et sur les facteurs ayant contribué à son déclin au cours des années 1990. Cette étude de cas décrit sommairement le caractère changeant des pratiques territoriales lesbiennes à l'échelle urbaine de Montréal depuis 1950. Elle montre que la territorialité et la visibilité des lesbiennes à Montréal ont été grandement influencées par les dynamiques locales à l'échelle des quartiers, les idéologies internes et les rapports politiques et spatiaux avec les hommes gais. En dernière analyse, ces constats suggèrent qu'aujourd'hui la visibilité lesbienne à l'échelle urbaine a peut-être été affaiblie par l'identification de plus en plus importante avec les formes communautaires «queer» et de leur ancrage territoriale dans le village gai de Montréal.

Identity poetics: Race, class, and the lesbian-feminist roots of queer theory - Garber, Linda (Between men--between women, 2001)
"La théorie queer", affirme Linda Garber, "enterre et vilipende tour à tour le féminisme lesbien, passant à côté de ses précieuses idées et ignorant ses riches contributions". Rejetant le choix entre le lesbianisme et la théorie queer, elle privilégie une approche inclusive qui défie le factionnalisme actuel. Dans un défi éloquent au privilège accordé à la théorie queer dans le milieu universitaire, Garber appelle à la reconnaissance du rôle historique – et intellectuellement significatif – des poètes lesbiennes en tant que théoriciennes de l’identité et de l’activisme lesbiens. Les liens, montre Garber, sont plus clairement visibles lorsqu’on examine le travail crucial des lesbiennes de la classe ouvrière/lesbiennes de couleur dont les articulations de positions identitaires multiples et simultanées et de politiques militantes appartiennent toutes deux au féminisme lesbien et présagent la théorie queer. Identity Poetics comprend un aperçu critique des écrits historiques récents sur les mouvements féministes et lesbiens-féministes des années 1970 ; discussions sur les œuvres de Judy Grahn, Pat Parker, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich et Gloria Anzaldúa ; et, enfin, un chapitre sur la montée et l'hégémonie de la théorie queer au sein des études lesbigay.

The new lesbian studies: Into the twenty-first century - Zimmerman, Bonnie; McNaron, Toni A. H. (Feminist Press at the City University of New York, 1996)
Foreword by Margaret Cruikshank Introduction by Bonnie Zimmerman and Toni A. H. McNaron By celebrating the differences among lesbian scholars and attending to the ways in which the field has been shaped by shifting politics and the emergence of queer studies, this collection challenges the limits of lesbian studies while affirming its value. Forty essays arranged in six parts explore the history of lesbian studies as well as its current impact on conceptions of identity and community, teaching, academic disciplines, university practices, and the development of feminist and queer theories. The collection offers stirring personal testimony; multicultural and international perspectives and established and new voices; strategies for integrating lesbian studies into the curriculum; and contributions from lesbians working in libraries, athletic departments, and students services. Throughout, the contributors address the ways in which lesbian studies has transformed and will continue to transform traditional disciplines, practices, and thought.

Chloe plus Olivia: An anthology of lesbian literature from the seventeenth century to the present - Faderman, Lillian (Viking, 1994)
Dans Chloe Plus Olivia, Lillian Faderman ne cherche rien de moins à redéfinir radicalement quatre siècles de littérature lesbienne, répondant à un besoin longtemps négligé : une anthologie littéraire d'écrivains lesbiens des quatre derniers siècles, chaque pièce étant située dans un contexte historique et littéraire. Cet ouvrage de recherche historique propose une revue éclairante du concept changeant de « littérature lesbienne », suivi d'exemples de six genres différents : l'amitié romantique, l'inversion sexuelle, les lesbiennes exotiques et maléfiques, l'encodage lesbien, le féminisme lesbien et le féminisme post-lesbien. Faderman examine des œuvres aussi diverses que My Antonia de Willa Cather et Orlando de Virginia Woolf ; poésie de Gertrude Stein et Amy Lowell ; fiction de Carson McCullers, Helen Hull et Alice Walker. De plus, Chloe Plus Olivia contient des écrits d'hommes axés sur les relations entre femmes. Ces écrits sont inclus dans la première section du livre et ont été, à divers égards, importants pour le développement de la littérature lesbienne, puisque les hommes étaient beaucoup plus susceptibles que les femmes d'être publiés au cours des autres siècles. Il serait impossible d’identifier une seule « grande tradition » d’écriture lesbienne, car elle est en constante métamorphose, reflétant l’évolution des attitudes sociales et des voix des femmes. Chloe Plus Olivia , avec sa portée historique renforcée par la recherche personnelle de Faderman pour une définition de la littérature lesbienne, en fait le premier livre du genre ; il deviendra certainement le point de référence à partir duquel partiront toutes les études ultérieures sur la littérature lesbienne.

Odd girls and twilight lovers: A history of lesbian life in twentieth-century America - Faderman, Lillian (Between men-between women, 1991)
Comme l'écrit Lillian Faderman, il n'y a « pas de constante en matière de lesbiennes », si ce n'est que les lesbiennes préfèrent les femmes. Dans ce livre révolutionnaire, elle récupère l’histoire de la vie lesbienne dans l’Amérique du XXe siècle, retraçant l’évolution de l’identité et des sous-cultures lesbiennes depuis les premiers réseaux jusqu’aux modes de vie divers plus récents. Elle puise dans des journaux, des manuscrits inédits, des chansons, des comptes rendus médiatiques, des romans, de la littérature médicale, des artefacts de la culture pop et des histoires orales de lesbiennes de tous âges et de tous horizons, découvrant un récit d'une profondeur et d'une originalité hors du commun.

The obstacle race: the fortunes of women painters and their work - Greer, Germaine (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1979)
If men and women are equally capable of genius, why have there been no female artists of the stature of Leonardo, Titian or Poussin? In seeking to answer this question, Germaine Greer introduces us to major but underestimated figures in the history of Western painting--Angelica Kauffmann, Natalia Goncharova, Suzanne Valadon, Berthe Morisot, Kathe Köllwitz--and produces a brilliantly incisive and richly illustrated study. She explains the obstacles as both external and surmountable and internal and insurmountable in the race for achievement.

Climate–urban nexus: A study of vulnerable women in urban areas of KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa - Hlahla, Sithabile; Simatele, Mulala Danny; Hill, Trevor; Mabhaudhi, Tafadzwanashe (Weather, Climate, and Society, 2022)
The changes in climatic conditions and their associated impacts are contributing to a worsening of existing gender inequalities and a heightening of women’s socioeconomic vulnerabilities in South Africa. Using data collected by research methods inspired by the tradition of participatory appraisals, we systematically discuss the impacts of climate change on marginalized women and the ways in which they are actively responding to climate challenges and building their adaptive capacity and resilience in the urban areas of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We argue that changes in climate have both direct and indirect negative impacts on women’s livelihoods and well-being. Less than one-half (37%) of the women reported implementing locally developed coping mechanisms to minimize the impacts of climate-related events, whereas 63% reported lacking any form of formal safety nets to deploy and reduce the impacts of climate-induced shocks and stresses. The lack of proactive and gender-sensitive local climate change policies and strategies creates socioeconomic and political barriers that limit the meaningful participation of women in issues that affect them and marginalize them in the climate change discourses and decision-making processes, thereby hampering their efforts to adapt and reduce existing vulnerabilities. Thus, we advocate for the creation of an enabling environment to develop and adopt progendered, cost-effective, transformative, and sustainable climate change policies and adaptation strategies that are responsive to the needs of vulnerable groups (women) of people in society. This will serve to build their adaptive capacity and resilience to climate variability and climate change–related risks and hazards. © 2022 American Meteorological Society.

Women of the great barrier reef: Stories of gender and conservation - Foxwell-Norton, Kerrie; Anderson, Deb; Leitch, Anne M. (Queensland Review, 2021)
In the late 1970s, Carden Wallace was at the beginning of her lifelong exploration of the Great Barrier Reef - and indeed, reefs all over the world. For Wallace, who is now Emeritus Principal Scientist at Queensland Museum, the beginning of her Reef career coincided with the emergence of both feminist and environmental movements that meant her personal and professional lives would be entwined with a changing social, cultural and political milieu. In this article, we couple the story of Wallace's personal life and her arrival in coral science to identify the Reef as a gendered space ripe to explore both feminist and conservation politics. The article is part of a broader Women of the Reef project that supports a history of women's contribution to the care and conservation of the Reef since the 1960s. In amplifying the role of women in the story of the Reef, we find hope in the richness of detail offered by oral history to illuminate the ways discourse on the Reef and its women sits at the intersection of biography, culture, politics and place. In these stories, we recognise women's participation and leadership as critical to past challenges, and to current and future climate change action. By retelling modern Reef history through the experiences and achievements of women, we can develop new understandings of the Reef that disrupt the existing dominance of patriarchal and Western systems of knowledge and power that have led us to the brink of ecological collapse. © The Author(s), 2022.

How far the ecowarrior will go: An ecofeminist reading of disney's Moana - Hernawati, Mala (3L: Language, Linguistics, Literature, 2021)
This article attempts to look into the fictional narrativization of women's significant and distinctive relationship with nature in Disney's Moana. Emphasizing the power and the unity of women and nature in Polynesian indigenous culture, Moana suggests that the destruction of nature results from exploitative and manipulative masculinity. Through ecofeminist perspectives, this essay observes that Moana offers critical views and promotes awareness of gender and environmental issues. These ideas are communicated through the visual and verbal depiction of power relations that defy patriarchal tradition alongside the expressions of protest against devaluation and abuse of nature and women. To put it in the context of the development of themes in Disney's princess line, Moana's presence can be a novel alternative to the typical images of women, namely a new portrayal of a female character whose primary concern is not romance but instead the sustainability of the environment where she lives. This study also confirms that Disney's animated princess films continuously adjust with the dynamics of global feminist discourse. © 2021 Penerbit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. All rights reserved.

Social work empowerment model for mainstreaming the participation of rural women in the climate change discourse - Nyahunda, Louis (Journal of Human Rights and Social Work, 2021)
Malgré le lien direct entre le changement climatique et la pratique du travail social, l'implication des travailleurs sociaux dans la résolution des problèmes liés au changement climatique reste décourageante. Cela est attribué au manque d'exposition aux questions de changement climatique pendant la formation des travailleurs sociaux, ce qui conduit à un manque d'outils adéquats pour que les travailleurs sociaux intègrent les questions de changement climatique dans leurs interventions quotidiennes avec les clients. Cet article vise à fournir des lignes directrices pour la pratique du travail social en intégrant la participation des femmes rurales dans le discours sur le changement climatique. Les travailleurs sociaux et les femmes rurales sont absents des interventions sur le changement climatique aux niveaux professionnel, pratique et personnel. Les impacts précaires du changement climatique se manifestent par des inondations, des sécheresses, des pénuries d'eau, l'épuisement des ressources naturelles, des cyclones et des vagues de chaleur, affectent de manière disproportionnée les femmes, en particulier celles des communautés rurales. La vulnérabilité des femmes au changement climatique émane de l'exclusion dans les processus de prise de décision sur le changement climatique, des normes et modèles culturels qui les confinent aux responsabilités ménagères, du manque de capacité d'adaptation, des faibles niveaux d'alphabétisation, de la domination patriarcale et des niveaux élevés de pauvreté. Les travailleurs sociaux sont donc appelés à favoriser le changement social, en donnant aux femmes les moyens de participer aux discussions sur le changement climatique comme les hommes. Un modèle basé sur les expériences menées en Afrique australe est présenté pour fournir des orientations aux travailleurs sociaux sur la meilleure façon d’intégrer les dimensions de genre dans les interventions sur le changement climatique. Cela favoriserait la justice sociale et environnementale, la résilience sociale, la participation égale au débat sur le changement climatique, le renforcement des capacités et la capacité d’adaptation des femmes rurales.

Glaciers, gender, and science: A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental change research - Carey, Mark; Jackson, M.; Antonello, Alessandro; Rushing, Jaclyn (Progress in Human Geography, 2016)
Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of glaciers. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.

Visual representation of gender in flood coverage of Pakistani print media - Ali, Zarqa S. (Weather and Climate Extremes, 2014)
This paper studies gender representation in the visual coverage of the 2010 floods in Pakistan. The data were collected from flood visuals published in the most circulated mainstream English newspapers in Pakistan, Dawn and The News. This study analyses how gender has been framed in the flood visuals. It is argued that visual representation of gender reinforces the gender stereotypes and cultural norms of Pakistani society. The gender-oriented flood coverage in both newspapers frequently seemed to take a reductionist approach while confining the representation of women to gender, and gender-specific roles. Though the gender-sensitive coverage displayed has been typical, showing women as helpless victims of flood, it has aroused sentiments of sympathy among readers and donors, inspiring them to give immediate moral and material help to the affected people. This agenda set by media might be to exploit the politics of sympathy but it has the effect of endorsing gender stereotypes.

Geographies of privilege - Twine, France Winddance; Gardener, Bradley (Routledge, 2013)
How are social inequalities experienced, reproduced and challenged in local, global and transnational spaces? What role does the control of space play in distribution of crucial resources and forms of capital (housing, education, pleasure, leisure, social relationships)? The case studies in Geographies of Privilege demonstrate how power operates and is activated within local, national, and global networks. Twine and Gardener have put together a collection that analyzes how the centrality of spaces (domestic, institutional, leisure, educational) are central to the production, maintenance and transformation of inequalities. The collected readings show how power--in the form of economic, social, symbolic, and cultural capital--is employed and experienced. The volume's contributors take the reader to diverse sites, including brothels, blues clubs, dance clubs, elite schools, detention centers, advocacy organizations, and public sidewalks in Canada, Italy, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Mozambique, South Africa, and the United States. Geographies of Privilege is the perfect teaching tool for courses on social problems, race, class and gender in Geography, Sociology and Anthropology.

Feminist epistemology after postmodernism: Critiquing science, technology and globalisation - Braidotti, Rosi (Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 2007)
This article provides a reasoned overview of contemporary developments within feminist theories of the subject after the decline of postmodernist thought. It stresses the foundational importance of feminist situated epistemology, and hence of a brand of materialism that stresses embodiment and embedded perspectives. The article explores neo-materialist feminist theories in a number of areas, with special emphasis on science and technology studies and critiques of globalisation. It argues that the neo-materialist trend results in a new call for an ethics attuned to the complexity of our era.

The nature of gender: work, gender, and environment - Nightingale, Andrea (Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 2006)
Le genre est depuis longtemps reconnu comme important dans les questions environnementales, mais la manière de conceptualiser le lien entre genre et environnement fait l’objet de nombreux débats. Les théories féministes sur les femmes et le genre ont évolué, tout comme les conceptualisations sur le genre et l’environnement, ce qui a donné lieu à un débat clé au sein de l’écoféminisme et des littératures associées sur la question de savoir s’il existe une relation essentielle ou contingente entre les femmes et les environnements naturels. En géographie, la plupart des écologistes politiques partent du principe que le lien entre genre et environnement est une relation contingente, et étudient donc la manière dont les relations de genre sont saillantes dans la construction symbolique et matérielle des questions environnementales. Dans cet article, je cherche à m’appuyer sur ce travail et à soulever à nouveau la question de la manière dont le genre est conceptualisé par rapport à l’environnement. Je commence par passer brièvement en revue certains des travaux qui ont été réalisés sur le genre et l’environnement, puis je m’inspire du féminisme post-structural pour suggérer que le genre lui-même a été sous-théorisé dans les travaux sur l’environnement. Une fois que le genre est reconceptualisé en tant que processus, la relation dynamique entre le genre, l’environnement et d’autres aspects de la vie sociale et culturelle peut être mise en évidence. Il en ressort que les écologistes politiques doivent examiner la question du genre au-delà du foyer et de la communauté, et reconceptualiser le lien entre le genre et l’environnement. Une étude de cas sur la foresterie communautaire au Népal est utilisée pour illustrer l’importance d’interroger les processus par lesquels les relations entre les sexes deviennent saillantes et sont reproduites symboliquement et matériellement.

We appreciate power: A multimodal critical discourse analysis of Grimes' music video posted on youtube - Enguídanos Gómez, Adrià (Université autonome de Barcelone, 2019)
The aim of this dissertation is to produce a multimodal critical discourse analysis of Grimes' video We Appreciate Power. This will serve to explore issues of ideology, identity and multilingualism in both the music video and the YouTube polylogues generated in the same web page. In this work I suggest that Grimes adopts a poststructuralist view that inherits Haraway's cyborg concept (1991) in this piece of multimedia. I claim that Grimes wanted to show the conflictive moral boundaries that the idea of the cyborg and trans-humanism casts upon Western civilization, such as the loss of free will but also the transgression of problematic dichotomies. The fact that the comment section of the video is available to use might signal that Grimes wanted to raise awareness about trans-humanism. By doing virtual ethnography research, examples of discussion about the relationship between the video and the studied polylogues will be examined regarding the notions of the cyborg and multilingualism. Keywords: cyborg, multimodal critical discourse analysis, polylogue, virtual ethnography, YouTube.

"Eskimo chicks and word warriors": The creative cultural spaces of Elisapie Isaac and Taqralik Partridge - Foot, Johanna Maria (Université Carleton, 2008)
For this study, I have interviewed fourteen women composers of electroacoustic music in or near the three Canadian urban centres of Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Montreal: Ciaire Pich6, Lucie Jasmin, Pascale Trudel, Monique Jean, Helen Hall and Kathy Kennedy; Toronto: Gayle Young, Sarah Peebles, Wende Bartley, Elma Miller, Ann Southam, and Carol Ann Weaver; Vancouver: Hildegard Westerkamp and Susan Frykberg. These interviews were all conducted between January and November of 1993. References to the development of electroacoustic music in Canada are sparse in the existing literature, both in general histories of electroacoustic music, and in histories of Canadian music. And even though there seem to be some areas of change (for instance, recent publications in Quebec), women composers are under-represented in writings and recorded collections of electroacoustic music in Canada. Chapter Two situates the work of women composers in the Canadian scene, discussing particularly the work of Norma Beecroft, Marcelle Desch§nes, Diana McIntosh, and Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux. Chapter Three describes the metaphors, images and myths invoked in malestream discourses associated with electroacoustic music, in popular magazines, course texts and software. I investigate how my consultants’ language reflects and/or contests mainstream imagery, or how it might be framed by entirely different assumptions and experiences. Chapter Four is concerned with the institutional structures of electroacoustic music. I discuss how gendering exhibits itself in the division of labour in electroacoustic studio courses at universities, as well as in concert halls, conferences, and professional organizations. Excerpts from the interviews record my consultants experiences in these institutions, as students, teachers, and composers. In Chapter Five, I point out the variety of strategies that each composer uses to construct her identity within the world of electroacoustics. Each entry takes the form of a three or four page sketch, with quotes from the interview regarding the social environment, equipment choices, compositional styles, and particular pieces that my consultant discusses. Chapter Six discusses three pieces in detail: one by Susan Frykberg, Woman and House; one by Wende Bartley, A Silence Full of Sound; and one by Hildegard Westerkamp, Breathing Room. I focus on how each of the composers chooses to work with technology, and how her culturally-constructed position as a woman affects her work. I describe how my consultants imagine other stories to tell, and other possible lived social relations. The conclusions in Chapter Seven, in addition to suggesting areas for future research, discuss three themes that run throughout the study: the idea of gender as performance, the doubleness of my consultants' responses to technology, and the importance of the linguistic and musical metaphors that they use.

Narrative in the feminine Daphne Marlatt and Nicole Brossard - Knutson, Susan Lynne (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2000)
Que signifie raconter une histoire du point de vue d’une femme ? Comment les écrivain.e.s canadien.n.e.s anglophones et francophones ont-iels mis en pratique la théorie littéraire féministe ? Les écrivaines d'avant-garde Daphné Marlatt et Nicole Brossard répondent à ces questions, et à bien d'autres, dans leurs deux ouvrages révolutionnaires, désormais rendus plus accessibles grâce aux lectures narratologiques minutieuses et au contexte théorique de Narrative in the Feminine . Susan Knutson commence son étude par une analyse des contributions de Marlatt et Brossard à la théorie féministe internationale. La deuxième partie présente une lecture narratologique de How Hug a Stone , affirmant qu'au niveau le plus profond du récit, Marlatt construit un sujet humain inclusif en termes de genre qui par défaut ne se réfère pas au masculin générique mais au féminin. La troisième partie propose une lecture parallèle de Picture Theory , le roman ludique de Brossard qui nous entraîne dans des (re)lectures de nombreux autres textes écrits par Brossard, Barnes, Wittig, Joyce, de Beauvoir, Homer... pour ne citer qu'eux. Le chapitre 12 se termine par une réflexion sur l'expression <'e>criture au f<'e>minin — une contribution québécoise à un débat théorique international. Les lecteurices qui s’intéressent à l’écriture féministe et à la théorie du langage, ainsi que les étudiant.e.s et enseignant.e.s de littérature canadienne et d’études critiques et queer, trouveront ce livre inestimable pour ses lectures attentives, son aperçu scientifique et son extension du concept féministe du générique. Enfin, l'étude constitue un guide de deux ouvrages importants des principales écrivaines expérimentales du Canada et du Québec, Daphné Marlatt et Nicole Brossard.

From energy security to security of energy eervices: The role of gendered innovations in living labs - Batinge, B.; Musango, J.K.; Ceschin, F.; Ambole, A.; Smit, S.; Mukama, M.; Petrulaityte, A. (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2022)
Energy security remains a concern in Sub-Saharan Africa. The conceptualisation of energy security at the urban household level has shifted from the security of energy supply to the security of energy services, which is focused more on the demand side. Women and young girls are affected the most by insecure energy services. However, energy policy discourses often fail to focus on the security of energy services or to recognise gender roles in the provision of energy services at the household level. It is therefore imperative to develop innovative and gender-sensitive energy services solutions with a new paradigm of participatory solution design, such as living labs. We assessed living labs and the energy security landscape in poor urban environments through a systematic literature review, and proposed a framework for demonstrating how living labs could be used as a lever to promote the security of energy services. The security of energy services in poor urban households could be improved by harnessing the different innovative strengths of the respective genders. Living labs provide an ideal space for co-generating, co-designing, and co-learning to produce tailored energy services solutions. There is a need for a collaborative effort in resourcing researchers to undertake practical investigations of interactive multi-stakeholder platforms with those who are intended to benefit from the policy to increase its impact and to bridge the science-policy divide. © 2022, South African Institute of Industrial Engineering.

Gender, climate breakdown and resistance: The future of human rights in the shadow of authoritarianism - Rosamond, Annika B.; Davitti, Daria (Nordic Journal of Human Rights, 2022)
In this article we examine the future of human rights by looking at how ‘authoritarianism’, in its multifaceted forms and manifestations, intersects with existing discourses on climate change, environmental protection, populism and ‘gender deviance’. By adopting an intersectional lens, we interrogate the emergence of the right to a healthy environment and reflect on whether it will help against the double challenge faced by human rights: of climate breakdown and rising authoritarianism. We study the link between authoritarianism and populism, focusing on far-right populism and the creeping authoritarian features that we can associate with far-right groups, both movements and parties. We also consider how certain understandings of nature and the environment are put forward by authoritarian regimes. This leads us to consider so-called ‘ecologism’ and the ways in which far-right movements draw upon green thought on the natural environment to further a gendered agenda based on conceptions of nature as a ‘national treasure’. These conceptions, as we demonstrate, go hand in hand with policies that promote national identity and directly undermine the rights of migrants, ethnic minorities, women and LGBT+ groups. © 2022 The Author(s).

Beyond subordination vs. resistance: An intersectional approach to the agency of veiled muslim women - Bilge, Sirma (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 2010)
Engaging with a figure that came to operate as a powerful cultural signifier of otherness in debates over migrant/Muslim integration across the West, the ‘veiled woman’; the paper questions the idea of agency that inheres in the contemporary feminist discourses on Muslim veil. After showing the shortcomings and adverse effects of two dominant readings of the Muslim veil, as a symbol of women's subordination to men, or as an act of resistance to Western hegemony, it explores an alternative avenue drawing on both the poststructuralist critique of the humanist subject and feminist intersectional theorising to answer the question of what kind of conception of agency can help us to think about the agency of the veiled woman without binding a priori the meaning of her veiling to the teleology of emancipation, whether feminist or anti-imperialist.

Social provisioning as a starting point for feminist economics - Power, Marilyn (Feminist Economics, 2004)
The past decade has seen a proliferation of writing by feminist economists. Feminist economists are not identified with one particular economic paradigm, yet some common methodological points seem to be emerging. I propose making these starting points more explicit so that they can be examined, critiqued, and built upon. I use the term “social provisioning” to describe this emerging methodology. Its five main components are: incorporation of caring and unpaid labor as fundamental economic activities; use of well-being as a measure of economic success; analysis of economic, political, and social processes and power relations; inclusion of ethical goals and values as an intrinsic part of the analysis; and interrogation of differences by class, race-ethnicity, and other factors. The paper then provides brief illustrations of the use of this methodology in analyses of US welfare reform, gender and development, and feminist ecological economics.

Gender and the silences of social capital: Lessons from Latin America - Molyneux, Maxine (Development and Change, 2002)
Social capital has entered development policy thinking and practice in Latin America where it converges with the premises of a new development agenda that emerged in the 1990s. Women are often central to the forms of social capital that development agencies are keen to mobilize in poverty relief programmes, but the terms of women’s insertion into these programmes is rarely problematized. This article critically examines the gendered assumptions that govern efforts to build social capital, and explores some of the tensions that have arisen in post-transition Latin America between women’s rights and social capital agendas.

Gender and embodiment in the contemporary Montreal swing dance community - Batty, Megan (Université McGill, 2020)
Cette thèse explore l'incarnation et le genre au sein de la communauté de danse swing contemporaine de Montréal. En m'appuyant sur la savoir dans les domaines de musicologie, études de la danse, études de jazz, et études de genre, je cherche à illuminer la relation entre les danseurs et les musiciens/DJ. J'explore les nombreuses facettes de cette conversation chorographique et musicale, retraçant cette relation dialogique et collaborative sur le plancher de danse sociale. La communauté actuelle est le produit d'un renouveau du swing, et les questions d'authenticité deviennent donc des considérations importantes pour les danseurs, les musiciens, et les DJ. Un produit de ce renouveau c'est l'ensemble des valeurs hétéronormatives qui sous-tendent toujours la communauté contemporaine. J'étudie dans quelle mesure ces valeurs sont réifiées, remises en question, ou subverties par les participants en tant que leurs choix musicaux et chorographiques.À cette fin, j'ai entrepris des entrevues avec six informateurs, chacun ayant une expérience en tant que danseur et musicien et/ou DJ. Leur position privilégiée découlant de leur double expérience qui leur donne une perspective unique de la façon dont les danseurs et les musiciens/DJ remplient leurs fonctions. Cette thèse fournit une contribution unique au domaine en situant les voix d'individus ayant une expérience chorographique et musicale en dialogue avec les études existantes, et finalement, réévalue l'importance des connaissances incarnées et du genre au sein de la communauté swing de Montréal.

Is this what a lesbian looks like? Lesbian fashion and the fashionable lesbian in the United States press, 1960s to 2010s - Reddy-Best, Kelly L.; Jones, Katie Baker (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2020)
We explored articulations of lesbian styles, fashions, and ways of dressing in mainstream fashion and media outlets within the United States during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Based upon our findings, we propose that there was trending ambivalence and multiple assemblages across space and time where the mainstream media did not necessarily perpetuate a single stereotypical or essentialist way of conceptualizing fashionable lesbians or lesbian fashions. However, we also noted across time a divide between representations of celebrity lesbians and the contemporary lived experience of ordinary lesbians. Though the press acknowledged this divide on occasion, they also established, circulated, and reinforced this difference. According to the press, while lesbians have been ‘chic’ since the 1990s–whether they embraced a butch or femme esthetic–the best way to be lesbian was to be rich, white, and fashionably dressed.

The Black feminist spatial imagination and an intersectional environmental justice - Ducre, Kishi Animashaun (Environmental Sociology, 2018)
Starting with seminal work from Katherine McKittrick and Katherine McKittrick and the late Clyde Woods, this paper compares and contrasts articulations of justice as espoused by Black feminism, ecofeminism, and the movement for environmental justice. The utilization of an intersectional genealogical approach allows for examination of the ways in which these movements might serve as the ideological bases for a Black feminist spatial imagination and an intersectional environmental justice. A Black feminist spatial imagination is an orientation that accounts for the merger of frames around race, gender, and ecology; it serves as a unique departure from conventional Black feminist analysis by its particular attention to the construct of space in Black feminist epistemology. Analysis reveals that manifestos engage similar strategies around boundedness, an identification among a collective identity and the subject of reproductive justice and liberation as wresting control and self-determination of physical bodies. The final task is an outline of essential tenets for a singular notion of justice of a Black feminist spatial imagination which incorporates the spirit of all of three manifestos and expands current environmental justice discourse to include those ‘who know no one knows’ while highlighting Black women’s agency in environmentally degraded environments. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Emotions, senses, spaces: Ethnographic engagements and intersections - Hemer, Susan R.; Dundon, Alison (The University of Adelaide Press, 2016)
This volume draws together three core concerns for the social sciences: the senses and embodiment, emotions, and space and place. In so doing, these collected essays consider the ways in which these core concerns are mutually constitutive. This includes how spaces evoke, constrain or are composed by the senses and emotions; the ways in which emotions are generated or transformed in certain spaces and through sensual engagement; and the processes by which embodied senses create spaces and emotions. The chapters engage with intersections between space, sense and emotion through a range of experiences and activities including dance, bullfights, healing ceremonies, celebrations and music. The authors herein critically examine diverse contexts, in and through which relations between sensate bodies, spaces and places, and emotions are constituted. The chapters draw on long-term ethnographic fieldwork from which the authors critically engage with their material on a fundamental level and contribute to contemporary debates about the nature and experience of emotions, the sensing body, and spaces and places.

Polyrhythmic dance currents: Race multiculturalism and the montreal dance community - Templeton, Melissa (Université de Californie à Riverside, 2012)
This dissertation examines African and African Diaspora concert dance in Montreal in relation to Canadian multicultural policies and Québec nationalism. The multiple layers of colonization and various waves of immigration to Québec have made the province a unique nation with its own complex history of racial construction, quite unlike the racial histories of the U.S. or the rest of Canada (though still greatly informed by these racial paradigms). In the debates that arise in Québec over multiculturalism, language is often seen as the main cultural component in need of preservation. However, this focus on language often masks other elements at play in these cultural debates, in particular, how "race" informs notions of cultural belonging in Québec. A focus on African Diaspora dance in Montreal (Québec's largest and most demographically varied city) helps bring racial construction to the fore for two reasons. First, language differences do not distinguish Québec's Black community from the white French-Canadian majority as Québec's Black population is comprised mainly of French-speakers, and accordingly, studying Montreal's African Diaspora reduces the significance of linguistic difference. Second, concentrating on dance practices helps identify how the Montreal public interprets bodies and their cultural meanings. By analyzing the public support and critical reception of African Diaspora dance practices in Montreal, this dissertation examines how racial difference is constructed through multicultural rhetoric, policies, and debates about dance; it also suggests that dance practitioners have the ability to change and inform these constructed identities and the social landscape that frames them. To conduct this research, I use archival material along with personal interviews and participant-observer ethnography to examine: the early visits of Les Ballets Africains to North America (with a particular focus on Montreal); the Montreal-based company Les Ballets Jazz; the 1999 Montreal festival Afrique: Aller/Retour; and the work of Contemporary African dance choreographer Zab Maboungou. With these subjects, my projects contributes a partial history of African Diaspora dance in Montreal and analyzes the effectiveness and the shortcomings of Canadian Multiculturalism on this community.

Gendered geographies of environmental injustice - Buckingham, Susan; Kulcur, Rakibe (Antipode, 2009)
As environmental justice concerns become more widely embedded in environmental organizations and policymaking, and increasingly the focus of academic study, the gender dimension dissolves into an exclusive focus on race/ethnicity and class/income. While grassroots campaigning activities were often dominated by women, in the more institutionalized activities of organizations dominated by salaried professionals, gender inequality is neglected as a vector of environmental injustice, and addressing this inequality is not considered a strategy for redress. This paper explores some of the reasons why this may be so, which include a lack of visibility of gendered environmental injustice; professional campaigning organizations which are themselves gender blind; institutions at a range of scales which are still structured by gender (as well as class and race) inequalities; and an intellectual academy which continues to marginalize the study of gender—and women's—inequality. The authors draw on experience of environmental activism, participant observation, and other qualitative research into the gendering of environmental activity, to first explore the constructions of scale to see how this might limit a gender-fair approach to environmental justice. Following this, the practice of “gender mainstreaming” in environmental organizations and institutions will be examined, demonstrating how this is limited in scope and fails to impact on the gendering of environmental injustice.

The affective turn: Theorizing the social - Clough, Patricia Ticineto; Halley, Jean (Duke University Press, 2007)
In the mid-1990s, scholars turned their attention toward the ways that ongoing political, economic, and cultural transformations were changing the realm of the social, specifically that aspect of it described by the notion of affect: pre-individual bodily forces, linked to autonomic responses, which augment or diminish a body’s capacity to act or engage with others. This “affective turn” and the new configurations of bodies, technology, and matter that it reveals, is the subject of this collection of essays. Scholars based in sociology, cultural studies, science studies, and women’s studies illuminate the movement in thought from a psychoanalytically informed criticism of subject identity, representation, and trauma to an engagement with information and affect; from a privileging of the organic body to an exploration of nonorganic life; and from the presumption of equilibrium-seeking closed systems to an engagement with the complexity of open systems under far-from-equilibrium conditions. Taken together, these essays suggest that attending to the affective turn is necessary to theorizing the social.

Performing autoethnography: An embodied methodological praxis - Spry, Tami (Qualitative Inquiry, 2001)
This article argues the personal/professional/political emancipatory potential of autoethnographic performance as a method of inquiry. Autoethnographic performance is the convergence of the “autobiographic impulse” and the “ethnographic moment” represented through movement and critical self-reflexive discourse in performance, articulating the intersections of peoples and culture through the innersanctions of the always migratory identity. The article offers evaluative standards for the autoethnographic performance methodology, calling on the body as a site of scholarly awareness and corporeal literacy. Autoethnographic performance makes us acutely conscious of how we “ Iwitness” our own reality constructions. Interpreting culture through the self-reflections and cultural refractions of identity is a defining feature of autoethnographic performance.

Looking like what you are sexual style, race, and lesbian identity - Walker, Lisa (The cutting edge: Lesbian life and literature, 2001)
Looks can be deceiving, and in a society where one's status and access to opportunity are largely attendant on physical appearance, the issue of how difference is constructed and interpreted, embraced or effaced, is of tremendous import. Lisa Walker examines this issue with a focus on the questions of what it means to look like a lesbian, and what it means to be a lesbian but not to look like one. She analyzes the historical production of the lesbian body as marked, and studies how lesbians have used the frequent analogy between racial difference and sexual orientation to craft, emphasize, or deny physical difference. In particular, she explores the implications of a predominantly visible model of sexual identity for the feminine lesbian, who is both marked and unmarked, desired and disavowed. Walker's textual analysis cuts across a variety of genres, including modernist fiction such as The Well of Loneliness and Wide Sargasso Sea, pulp fiction of the Harlem Renaissance, the 1950s and the 1960s, post-modern literature as Michelle Cliff's Abeng, and queer theory.

Informal caregiving and strains: Exploring the impacts of gender, race, and income - Willert, Bria; Minnotte, Krysta Lynn (Applied Research in Quality of Life, 2021)
Informal caregivers are those who provide care for others without compensation. In the US, 85 % of elderly individuals receive care from an informal caregiver, and this number is expected to increase. Caregivers often experience different types of strain, stemming from physical, emotional, and financial demands. Guided by intersectionality theory, this study explores the relationships between informal caregiving strains and gender, race, and income, along with various control variables, including age, marital status, education, number of hours spent providing care, and employment status. Data from the 2015 Caregiving in the US survey (N = 1248) were used. Findings indicated male informal caregivers reported more financial strain compared to females. White women reported more emotional strain than women of color, and those with higher incomes reported less financial strain. Gender, race, and income were not significantly related to physical strain among informal caregivers. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed. © 2019, The International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS) and Springer Nature B.V.

Feeling our way: Academia, emotions and a politics of care - Askins, Kye; Blazek, Matej (Social & Cultural Geography, 2017)
Cet article a pour but de mieux comprendre le rôle des émotions dans le monde universitaire, et leur implication dans le fait de produire et de défier une université normalisée de plus en plus néolibérale. Il découle de deux discours qui mettent les émotions au premier plan dans et à travers les espaces et les pratiques universitaires, afin d’explorer de façon critique comment les connaissances et les positions sont construites et comment on les fait circuler. Il continue ensuite par prendre en compte ces questions sous l’angle de la sensibilité en tant que position politique pour être et devenir un universitaire en ces temps néolibéraux. Notre but est de contribuer à la recherche qui se développe dans le domaine des géographies émotionnelles, en amenant ce travail de manière explicite dans la conversation des débats renaissants au sujet d’une éthique de sensibilité, comme faisant partie d’une politique qui critique l’individualisme et le gestionnariat dans le monde universitaire (et au-delà). Nous examinons les façons dont les structures universitaires néolibérales font circuler certains affects particuliers, qui induisent des émotions telles que le désir et l’anxiété ainsi que l’internalisation de la compétition et de l’évaluation en tant qu’universitaires incarnés. Nos récits donnent en exemple comment les émotions et les affects qui y sont liés peuvent faire écho et se reproduire de plus en plus à travers les cultures de l’université et se propager dans les vies personnelles et professionnelles. Nous soutenons que les émotions à l’université sont importantes, coproduisant mutuellement des relations et pratiques sociales à tous les niveaux. Nous nous intéressons à leurs implications politiques et à la façon dont les normes néolibérales peuvent changer à travers des pratiques de sensibilité.

The promise of happiness - Ahmed, Sara (Duke University Press, 2010)
« The Promise of Happiness is a provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy. It asks what follows when we make our desires and even our own happiness conditional on the happiness of others: 'I just want you to be happy', 'I'm happy if you're happy'. Combining philosophy and feminist cultural studies, Sara Ahmed reveals the affective and moral work performed by the 'happiness duty', the expectation that we will be made happy by taking part in that which is deemed good, and that by being happy ourselves, we will make others happy. Ahmed maintains that happiness is a promise that directs us toward certain life choices and away from others. Happiness is promised to those willing to live their lives in the right way. Ahmed draws on the intellectual history of happiness, from classical accounts of ethics as the good life, through seventeenth-century writings on affect and the passions, eighteenth-century debates on virtue and education, and nineteenth-century utilitarianism. She engages with feminist, antiracist, and queer critics who have shown how happiness is used to justify social oppression, and how challenging oppression sometimes causes unhappiness. Reading novels and films including "Mrs. Dalloway", "The Well of Loneliness", "Bend It Like Beckham", and Children of Men, Ahmed considers the plight of the figures who are challenged by, and themselves challenge, the attribution of happiness to particular objects or social ideals: the feminist killjoy, the unhappy queer, the angry black woman, and the melancholic migrant. Through her readings, she raises critical questions about the moral order imposed by the injunction to be happy. »--Quatrième de couverture.

Is maternal guilt a cross-national experience? - Collins, C. (Qualitative Sociology, 2021)
Many working mothers in the US say that they feel guilty about their inability to live up to cultural ideals of the “good mother” embedded in intensive mothering discourse. Intensive mothering is reflected in and exacerbated by the country’s work-family policies. The United States is an outlier among Western welfare states for its lack of policy supports for families, assuming that childrearing is a private responsibility even though most mothers work outside the home today. So how do working mothers outside of the US experience maternal guilt? Does a more family-friendly policy environment mitigate these feelings of guilt? Using detailed accounts of four women drawn from a larger interview study of 109 working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States, I demonstrate how policy context does—and does not—make a difference in the experience of maternal guilt. A feeling of guilt helped to define “good mothers” across all four contexts. However, I found that public policy has a role to play in reducing maternal guilt in three specific ways: (1) by giving mothers more time outside of work, (2) encouraging fathers to complete more unpaid care work, and (3) distributing the responsibility and costs of childrearing more broadly. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

The cultural contradictions of motherhood - Hays, Sharon (Yale University Press, 1996)
Les mères qui travaillent sont aujourd’hui confrontées à des exigences contradictoires en termes de temps et d’énergie, mais aussi à des idées contradictoires sur la manière dont elles doivent se comporter : elles doivent être attentionnées et altruistes lorsqu’elles s’occupent de leurs enfants, mais compétitives et ambitieuses au travail. Alors que de plus en plus de femmes entrent sur le marché du travail, il semblerait raisonnable que la société fasse de la maternité une tâche plus simple et plus efficace. Au lieu de cela, Sharon Hays souligne dans ce livre original et provocateur qu’une idéologie de « maternité intensive » s’est développée, qui ne fait qu’exacerber les tensions auxquelles les mères qui travaillent sont confrontées. S’appuyant sur des idées sur la maternité depuis le Moyen Âge, sur des manuels contemporains d’éducation des enfants et sur des entretiens approfondis avec des mères de diverses classes sociales, Hays retrace l’évolution de l’idéologie de la maternité intensive – une idéologie qui tient la mère pour principale responsable de l’éducation des enfants et qui impose que le processus soit centré sur l’enfant, guidé par des experts, absorbant émotionnellement, exigeant en main-d’œuvre et coûteux financièrement. Hays soutient que ces idées sur la maternité appropriée découlent d’une ambivalence fondamentale à l’égard d’un système fondé uniquement sur la poursuite compétitive d’intérêts individuels. En essayant de faire face à notre profond malaise face à l’intérêt personnel, nous avons imposé des obligations et des engagements irréalistes et non rémunérés à la maternité, la transformant en une force opposée, un terrain privilégié sur lequel cette ambivalence culturelle se joue.

Forms of Care: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2014), Agency, and Decolonial Feminism - McCann, Fiona (Études littéraires africaines, 2021)
Cet article explore la politique féministe telle qu’elle est représentée dans le roman Americanah de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, ainsi que la manière dont ce féminisme s’entremêle avec des formes de care. Je cerne les contours de l’engagement affiché de l’autrice pour le féminisme intersectionnel, tout en pointant quelques angles morts. Après avoir situé l’oeuvre d’Adichie dans le contexte des féminismes postcolonial, populaire et décolonial, j’étudie l’importance des cheveux et la question plus générale de l’agentivité. Dans la dernière partie, je démontre que la poétique du care développée dans le roman n’adhère pas totalement au féminisme décolonial en raison de l’invisibilité relative des structures néo-coloniales à l’oeuvre au Nigeria pendant la période contemporaine.

Intersectionality in feminist and queer movements: Confronting privileges - Evans, Elizabeth; Lépinard, Éléonore (Routledge, 2020)
Examining the ways in which feminist and queer activists confront privilege through the use of intersectionality, this edited collection presents empirical case studies from around the world to consider how intersectionality has been taken up (or indeed contested) by activists in order to expose and resist privilege. The volume sets out three key ways in which intersectionality operates within feminist and queer movements: it is used as a collective identity, as a strategy for forming coalitions, and as a repertoire for inclusivity. The case studies presented in this book then evaluate the extent to which some, or all, of these types of intersectional activism are used to confront manifestations of privilege. Drawing upon a wide range of cases from across time and space, this volume explores the difficulties with which activists often grapple when it comes to translating the desire for intersectionality into a praxis which confronts privilege. Addressing inter-related and politically relevant questions concerning how we apply and theorise intersectionality in our studies of feminist and queer movements, this timely edited collection will be of interest to students and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities with an interest in gender and feminism, LGBT+ and queer studies, and social movement studies.

Social movements and the politics of care: Empathy, solidarity and eviction blockades - Santos, Felipe G. (Social Movement Studies, 2020)
This paper develops a perspective of mobilization based on the ethics of care to explore the complexities of political solidarity in social movements. On the one hand, it is interested in the reasons why commonly aggrieved individuals do not always collaborate to confront their oppression. On the other, it explores why sometimes people initiate mobilization for causes that do not benefit them directly. From a care perspective, aggrieved individuals may not mobilize to confront their troubles because some of their caring needs (emotional, identity, and participatory) are not covered. At the same time, empathy motivates people not affected by a grievance to initiate mobilization in support of the oppressed collective. Internal solidarity among those aggrieved may be created during the process of mobilization through care work. The analytical relevance of this model is demonstrated explaining the mobilization of the ‘Platform of Those Affected by Mortgages’, the biggest housing organization in Spain. A care-based approach to mobilization contributes to our analysis of contentious collective action by helping to better understand the complexities of political solidarity and the mechanisms through which organizations foster solidarity among their members.

Women and Ecosystems - Webb, Jena (Amazon Frontlines, 2019)
Over the centuries many parallels have been drawn between women and the earth, starting with the age-old (and, for some, contested) Mother Earth, or Pachamama. More recently, the destruction of the earth for natural resource extraction has been compared with and attributed to the same underlying patriarchal forces as violence against women. Correspondingly, research has shown that environmentalism is perceived as un-masculine (Brough et al. 2016) and even that men are less likely to recycle than women because they are worried people will think they’re homosexual.

Serving each other: Sharing economies and affective labour in montréal's kiki scene - Lundy, Jesse D. (Université Carleton, 2019)
Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate nonnormative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil.

Closing the gender gap: Policy-making that promotes inclusive Mediterranean societies - Moukaddem, Karine (Femise, 2019)
Ce MED Brief présente quelques résultats préliminaires d'une évaluation récemment lancée des mesures politiques existantes concernant les questions d'autonomisation des femmes dans la région sud de la Méditerranée. Afin d'expliquer la persistance de nombreux écarts de genre, j'examine les raisons de l'inefficacité des politiques nationales en matière d'égalité des genres, en comparant les effets recherchés des mesures légales mises en place avec l'état des lieux en matière de genre dans les différents pays du la région. La lutte contre les préjugés inconscients et l'inefficacité des politiques passe par l'augmentation de la portée des réussites féminines, le mentorat, la promotion de la collaboration entre les parties prenantes et l'intégration de l'autonomisation des femmes dans les partenariats public-privé.

A voice from the South - Cooper, Anna Julia (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library, 2017)
The first book by Anna J. Cooper, A Voice From the South, presents strong ideals supporting racial and gender equality as well as economic progress. It’s a forward-thinking narrative that highlights many disparities hindering the African American community. Anna J. Cooper was an accomplished educator who used her influence to encourage and elevate African Americans. With A Voice From the South, she delivers a poignant analysis of the country’s affairs as they relate to Black people, specifically Black women. She stresses the importance of education, which she sees as a great equalizer. Cooper considers it a necessary investment in not only the individual but the community. She also criticizes the depictions of African Americans in literature by some of the day’s most popular authors. She calls for more realistic portrayals that are both honest yet positive. Cooper provides an unflinching critique of mainstream America as it relates to the Black population. A Voice From the South broaches pivotal topics such as women’s rights, segregation and the need for higher education. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Voice From the South is both modern and readable.

Undivided rights: Women of color organizing for reproductive justice - Silliman, Jael; Fried, Marlene Gerber; Ross, Loretta; Gutiérrez, Elena (Haymarket Books, 2016)
Undivided Rights captures the evolving and largely unknown activist history of women of color organizing for reproductive justice—on their own behalf.Undivided Rights presents a textured understanding of the reproductive rights movement by placing the experiences, priorities, and activism of women of color in the foreground. Using historical research, original organizational case studies, and personal interviews, the authors illuminate how women of color have led the fight to control their own bodies and reproductive destinies. Undivided Rights shows how women of color—-starting within their own Latina, African American, Native American, and Asian American communities—have resisted coercion of their reproductive abilities. Projected against the backdrop of the mainstream pro-choice movement and radical right agendas, these dynamic case studies feature the groundbreaking work being done by health and reproductive rights organizations led by women-of-color.The book details how and why these women have defined and implemented expansive reproductive health agendas that reject legalistic remedies and seek instead to address the wider needs of their communities. It stresses the urgency for innovative strategies that push beyond the traditional base and goals of the mainstream pro-choice movement—strategies that are broadly inclusive while being specific, strategies that speak to all women by speaking to each woman. While the authors raise tough questions about inclusion, identity politics, and the future of women’s organizing, they also offer a way out of the limiting focus on "choice."Undivided Rights articulates a holistic vision for reproductive freedom. It refuses to allow our human rights to be divvied up and parceled out into isolated boxes that people are then forced to pick and choose among.

How microfinance empowers women in Côte d’Ivoire - Binaté Fofana, Namizata; Antonides, Gerrit; Niehof, Anke; van Ophem, Johan A. C. (Review of Economics of the Household, 2015)
This study deals with the effect of microcredit on women’s livelihood and empowerment in rural areas of Cote d’Ivoire. A cross-section survey was conducted among 185 borrowers from two microfinance institutions and 209 nonborrowers in rural areas of Cote d’Ivoire. In addition, a focus group discussion was held with each of the two women groups. After matching the two groups on the probability of obtaining credit, we found that the microcredit group on average had a higher income and a higher value of household assets than the non-borrowers. No differences in the value of personal women’s assets were found. Furthermore, on one hand women’s decision-making power in the household, as indicated by their strategic gender needs, was positively related to the probability of obtaining microcredit. On the other hand receiving microcredit tended to increase their decisionmaking power.

Notes toward a performative theory of assembly - Butler, Judith (Harvard University Press, 2015)
Judith Butler elucidates the dynamics of public assembly under prevailing economic and political conditions, analyzing what they signify and how. Understanding assemblies as plural forms of perfomative action, Butler extends her theory of performativity to argue that precarity - the destruction of the conditions of livability - has been a galvanizing force and theme intoday's highly visible protests.

The cultural politics of emotion - Ahmed, Sara (Edinburgh University Press, 2014)
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.

Decolonizing feminism: Challenging connections between settler colonialism and heteropatriarchy - Arvin, Maile; Tuck, Eve; Morrill, Angie (Feminist Formations, 2013)
The article explores two intertwined ideas: that the United States is a settler colonial nation-state and that settler colonialism has been and continues to be a gendered process. The article engages Native feminist theories to excavate the deep connections between settler colonialism and heteropatriarchy, highlighting five central challenges that Native feminist theories pose to gender and women's studies. From problematizing settler colonialism and its intersections to questioning academic participation in Indigenous dispossession, responding to these challenges requires a significant departure from how gender and women's studies is regularly understood and taught. Too often, the consideration of Indigenous peoples remains rooted in understanding colonialism as an historical point in time away from which our society has progressed. Centering settler colonialism within gender and women's studies instead exposes the still-existing structure of settler colonialism and its powerful effects on Indigenous peoples and settlers. Taking as its audience practitioners of both "whitestream" and other feminisms and writing in conversation with a long history of Native feminist theorizing, the article offers critical suggestions for the meaningful engagement of Native feminisms. Overall, it aims to persuade readers that attending to the links between heteropatriarchy and settler colonialism is intellectually and politically imperative for all peoples living within settler colonial contexts.

Moving politics: Emotion and ACT UP’s fight against AIDS - Gould, Deborah B. (University of Chicago Press, 2009)
In the late 1980s, after a decade spent engaged in more routine interest-group politics, thousands of lesbians and gay men responded to the AIDS crisis by defiantly and dramatically taking to the streets. But by the early 1990s, the organization they founded, ACT UP, was no more—even as the AIDS epidemic raged on. Weaving together interviews with activists, extensive research, and reflections on the author’s time as a member of the organization, Moving Politics is the first book to chronicle the rise and fall of ACT UP, highlighting a key factor in its trajectory: emotion. Surprisingly overlooked by many scholars of social movements, emotion, Gould argues, plays a fundamental role in political activism. From anger to hope, pride to shame, and solidarity to despair, feelings played a significant part in ACT UP’s provocative style of protest, which included raucous demonstrations, die-ins, and other kinds of street theater. Detailing the movement’s public triumphs and private setbacks, Moving Politics is the definitive account of ACT UP’s origin, development, and decline as well as a searching look at the role of emotion in contentious politics.

Praticing indigenous feminism: Resistance to Imperialism - Stewart-Harawira, Makere (Making space for aboriginal feminism, 2007)
This chapter is situated within the complexities of the new forms of imperialism that characterize a world seemingly gone mad. The conviction that both the project of decolonization and that of human survival and ultimately, peace for a world hovering on the brink of self-destruction require, at the very least, the return of the feminine principle and in the process, right balance and the compassionate mind, to the center of our political ontologies, is central to this chapter. The thesis is two-fold: firstly, that Indigenous women have a vital role to play in the realization of alternative models of “being in the world‟ and secondly, that this represent a particularly poignant paradox.

The dynamics of emotion and activism: Grief, gender, and collective identity in revolutionary nicaragua - de Volo, Lorraine (Mobilization: An International Quarterly, 2006)
This article argues for a multidirectional and gendered understanding of the causal relationship between emotion and collective identity. Based on interviews and participant observation with core members of a Nicaraguan mothers' organization, I identify four ways in which emotion and identity are causally linked: emotion-based identity, therapy, affective bonds, and change in collective identity leading to change in grieving style. These indicate a dynamic relationship between emotion and collective identity. Furthermore, to understand emotion-based collective identity and perceptions of the emotional benefits of participation, this relationship must be understood through gendered cultural expectations about emotion.

Feeling beyond rules: Politicising the sociology of emotion and anger in feminist politics - Holmes, Mary (European Journal of Social Theory, 2004)
The part anger plays in motivating political action is frequently noted, but less is said about ways in which anger continues to be a part of how people do politics. This article critically assesses approaches to emotions that emphasize managing anger in accordance with ‘feeling rules’. It reflects on the utility of Marxist notions of conflict as the engine of change for the understanding of how anger operates in political life. This involves understanding the ambivalence of anger and its operation within particular power relations. Shifting sets of conventions have had some continuity in discouraging women in Western nations (particularly white and middle-class women) from showing anger. But clearly, women do get angry and feminists have drawn on anger in acting politically. New Zealand feminist writings from the ‘second wave’ are taken as illustrative of the common difficulties Western feminists faced in dealing with anger. These difficulties were due to trying to juggle social conventions about femininity, the political ideal of sisterhood, and the realities of dealing with other women in often new and experimental political processes. Anger could be personalized and hurtful, but in certain cases its expression was constructive in producing more respectful relations. Exploring these cases makes it clear how anger produces, and is produced by, relations with others.

Organizational "emotion work" through consciousness-raising: An analysis of a feminist organization - Reger, Jo (Qualitative Sociology, 2004)
In this article I explore how organizational processes link to certain emotional responses, as a way of investigating more fully the role emotions play in social movements. Through the construction of a case study of a feminist group, the New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women (NYC NOW), I analyze how certain emotions, such as anger, alienation, hopelessness and frustration, are redefined within an organizational context. I find that consciousness-raising serves as the organizational process that helps transform personal emotions into a collectively defined sense of injustice. This transformation has the potential of creating actors dedicated to chapter activism.

Creating emotional resonance: Interpersonal emotion work and motivational framing in a transgender community - Schrock, Douglas; Holden, Daphne; Reid, Lori (Social Problems, 2004)
In this article, we examine how interpersonal emotion work in a transgender support group and motivational framing of transgender social movement organizations together constructed favorable conditions for emotional resonance. We define emotional resonance as the emotional harmony and/or disjuncture between collective action frames and the emotional lives of potential recruits. Data derive from fieldwork, interviews, online e-mail lists and forums, community publications, activist speeches, and social movement organizations' recruitment appeals. Transgendered people joined support groups hoping to find relief from shame, fear, powerlessness, alienation, and inauthenticity. Although group members' emotion work partly accomplished such relief, it was hindered by identity conflicts and the temporal bounds of the meetings. Transgender activists and nascent social movement organizations, however, used motivational framing to promise targeted recruits a more permanent emotional resolution—one which could draw them into the movement. Our analysis moves transgender scholarship beyond issues of identity and moves framing theory beyond an almost exclusive concern with cognitive processes.

Women of color and the reproductive rights movement - Nelson, Jennifer (New York University Press, 2003)
While most people believe that the movement to secure voluntary reproductive control for women centered solely on abortion rights, for many women abortion was not the only, or even primary, focus.Jennifer Nelson tells the story of the feminist struggle for legal abortion and reproductive rights in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s through the particular contributions of women of color. She explores the relationship between second-wave feminists, who were concerned with a woman's right to choose, Black and Puerto Rican Nationalists, who were concerned that Black and Puerto Rican women have as many children as possible "for the revolution," and women of color themselves, who negotiated between them. Contrary to popular belief, Nelson shows that women of color were able to successfully remake the mainstream women's liberation and abortion rights movements by appropriating select aspects of Black Nationalist politics--including addressing sterilization abuse, access to affordable childcare and healthcare, and ways to raise children out of poverty--for feminist discourse.

Life during wartime: Emotions and the development of act up - Gould, Deborah (Mobilization: An International Journal, 2002)
Focusing on the street AIDS activist movement ACT UP, this article explores the question of social movement sustainability. Emotions figure centrally in two ways. First, I argue that the emotion work of movements, largely ignored by scholars, is vital to their ability to develop and thrive over time. I investigate the ways AIDS activists nourished and extended an “emotional common sense” that was amenable to their brand of street activism, exploring, for example, the ways in which ACT UP marshaled grief and tethered it to anger; reoriented the object of gay pride away from community stoicism and toward gay sexual difference and militant activism; transformed the subject and object of shame from gay shame about homosexuality to government shame about its negligent response to AIDS; and gave birth to a new “queer” identity that joined the new emotional common sense, militant politics, and sexradicalism into a compelling package that helped to sustain the movement. Second, I investigate the emotions generated in the heat of the action that also helped the street AIDS activist movement flourish into the early 1990s.

The micro potential for social change: Emotion, consciousness, and social movement formation - Summers-Effler, Erika (Sociological Theory, 2002)
Can one explain both the resilience of the status quo and the possibility for resistance from a subordinate position? This paper aims to resolve these seemingly incompatible perspectives. By extending Randall Collins’s interaction ritual theory, and synthesizing it with Norbert Wiley’s model of the self, this paper suggests how the emotional dynam- ics between people and within the self can explain social inertia as well as the possibility for resistance and change. Diverging from literature on the sociology of emotions that has been concerned with individual emotional processes, this paper considers the collective level in order to explore how movement action is motivated. The emotional dynamics of subordinate positioning that limit women’s options in face-to-face inter- actions are examined, as are the social processes of developing feminist consciousness and a willingness to participate in resistance work. Pointing toward empirical appli- cations, I conclude by suggesting conditions where resistance is likely.

A burning love for lesbian literature - Grier, Barbara; Factor, Rhonda J. (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2001)
Barbara Grier’s enjoyment of and commitment to lesbian literature have been guiding forces in her life. While working non-professional jobs for little pay, she managed to find money to buy the books she loved. Her enthusiasm led her to devote considerable time and energy to The Ladder while simultaneously working a full-time job. When The Ladder was no longer financially viable, she founded Naiad Press, and, for the first nine years of its existence, continued to hold a full-time job. In 1982, she became the first paid employee of Naiad, which enabled her to focus exclusively on her passions: writing, editing, and publishing lesbian literature.

Identity, emotion, and feminist collective action - Hercus, Cheryl (Gender and Society, 1999)
This article explores the relationship between identity, emotion, and feminist collective action. Based on interview research, the analysis confirms the central importance of anger in collective action and its particular significance for feminist identity and activism. As an emotion thought deviant for women, the anger inherent in feminist collective action frames created problems for participants in terms of relationships with partners, friends, and work colleagues. Participants performed emotion work to deal with negative responses to their feminist identity, but this depleted emotional energy and created stress. Participation in movement events provided much-needed emotional support and an outlet for deviant emotions.

Margaret Thatcher is my sister: Counselling on divisions between women - Itzin, Catherine (Women's Studies International Forum, 1985)
This paper looks at the ways in which women are divided from themselves and each other as women: at the internalised oppression which results from THE oppression of patriarchy, at the systematic mistreatment of women as a group by men as a group reinforced by the social structures of male power. It also looks at the ways in which women are divided from each other as a result of other oppressive systems such as class and/or race or religion or physical ability or age. The paper then describes how the particular theory and practice of Re-evaluation Counselling can be used to ‘deconstruct’ or ‘discharge’ the internalised oppression of patriarchy and other oppressive systems, making the principles of Women's Liberation and sisterhood a practical possibility for ‘everywoman’ and all women—including Margaret Thatcher. Throughout, the word ‘patriarchy’ is used to mean the system of male power usually regarded as synonymous with sexism.
