Credibility Excess and the Social Imaginary in Cases of Sexual Assault - Yap, Audrey S (Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, 2017)
This paper will connect literature on epistemic injustice with literature on victims and perpetrators, to argue that in addition to considering the credibility deficit suffered by many victims, we should also consider the credibility excess accorded to many perpetrators. Epistemic injustice, as discussed by Miranda Fricker, considers ways in which someone might be wronged in their capacity as a knower. Testimonial injustice occurs when there is a credibility deficit as a result of identity-prejudicial stereotypes. However, criticisms of Fricker have pointed out that credibility is part of a more complex system that includes both deficits and excesses. I will use these points to argue that we should look closer at sources of credibility excess in cases of sexual assault. This means that in addition to considering sources of victim blaming by looking at ways in which “ideal” victims are constructed, we also need to consider ways in which “ideal” perpetrators are constructed.

Epistemic Exploitation - Berenstain, Nora (Ergo, an Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2016)
Epistemic exploitation occurs when privileged persons compel marginalized persons to educate them about the nature of their oppression. I argue that epistemic exploitation is marked by unrecognized, uncompensated, emotionally taxing, coerced epistemic labor. The coercive and exploitative aspects of the phenomenon are exemplified by the unpaid nature of the educational labor and its associated opportunity costs, the double bind that marginalized persons must navigate when faced with the demand to educate, and the need for additional labor created by the default skepticism of the privileged. I explore the connections between epistemic exploitation and the two varieties of epistemic injustice that Fricker (2007) identifies, testimonial and hermeneutical injustice. I situate epistemic exploitation within Dotson’s (2012; 2014) framework of epistemic oppression, and I address the role that epistemic exploitation plays in maintaining active ignorance and upholding dominant epistemic frameworks.

« Gender Equality and Economic Inequality: Impact on Marriage » dans Gender and couple relationships - Coontz, Stephanie (Gender and couple relationships, 2016)
Changes in aggregate marriage rates and in the internal dynamics of individual marriages should be understood as the outcome of two powerful but very different trends in gender and class relations. One trend is the uneven but undeniably dramatic progress toward equality in personal life and cultural values, which has led to widespread repudiation of centuries-old gender hierarchies. The other trend is an equally powerful movement toward growing inequality, insecurity, and unpredictability in economic life, which has resulted in substantial losses for the most historically vulnerable and least-educated sections of the workforce. The ongoing gender revolution interacts with widening economic inequality in complex ways, increasing the benefits of marriage for individuals with higher earning power while increasing the risks of marriage for low-income individuals, especially women.

Kimberlé Crenshaw: The urgency of intersectionality | TED Talk - Crenshaw, Kimberlé (TedTalk, 2016)
Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice.

Typecasts, Tokens, and Spokespersons: A Case for Credibility Excess as Testimonial Injustice - Davis, Emmalon (Hypatia, 2016)
Miranda Fricker maintains that testimonial injustice is a matter of credibility deficit, not excess. In this article, I argue that this restricted characterízation of testimonial injustice is too narrow. I introduce a type of identity-prejudicial credibility excess that harms its targets qua knowers and transmitters of knowledge. I show how positive stereotyping and prejudicially inflated credibility assessments contribute to the continued epistemic oppression of marginalized knowers. In particular, I examine harms such as typecasting, compulsory representation, and epistemic exploitation and consider what hearers are obligated to do in response to these injustices. I argue that because epistemic harms to rnarginatized knowers also arise from prejudicially inflated assessments of their credibility, the virtue of testimonial justice must be revised to remedy them.

A messy trajectory: From medical sociology to crip theory - Egner J. (Research in Social Science and Disability ; 9, 2016)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the work of sociologists who laid the foundation for queer and crip approaches to disability and to address how queer and crip theory has and can help to re-conceptualize our understandings of health, illness, disability, and sexuality. Methodology/approach This paper is an examination of historical moments and prominent literature within medical sociology and sociology of disability. Sociological and popular understandings of disability and sexuality have often mirrored each other historically. Although this literature review focuses primarily on medical sociology and disability studies literature, some works of scholars specializing in gender studies, sexuality, literature, history, and queer studies are also included Findings In this paper, I argue that the medicalization and pathologization of human differences specifically as it pertains to sexuality and disability within the medical sociological literature have led to constructionist, social model, and feminist critiques. It is these critiques that then laid the foundation for the development of queer and crip theoretical approaches to both disability and sexuality. Originality/value Crip and queer approaches to disability provide a clear call for future sociological research. Few social science scholars have applied queer and crip approaches in empirical studies on disability. The majority of work in this area is located in the humanities and concerned with literary criticism. A broader array of empirical work on the intersection of sexuality and disability from queer/crip perspectives is needed both to refine these postmodern theoretical models and to examine their implications for the complex lived experience that lies at the intersection of sexuality and disability. In queering disability and cripping sexuality and gender, we may be able not only to more fully conceptualize disability, sexuality, and gender as individual social categories, but also to more fully understand the complex intersection of these social locations.

Disability studies after the ontological turn: a return to the material world and material bodies without a return to essentialism - Feely, Michael (Disability & Society, 2016)
Over recent decades, poststructuralist theories have allowed critical disability scholars to challenge essentialist understandings of the human species and to contest discourses which divide humans into ‘normal’/‘impaired’ subjects with respect to a wide – and ever expanding – range of corporeal and cognitive traits. For critics, however, these theories are deeply flawed. By focusing primarily on language, poststructuralism shifts our critical attention away from the often harsh material realities of life for disabled people. This has led some to turn to critical realism and to effectively re-essentialise impairment. In this article, I wish to consider an alternative approach. I suggest that the recent ‘ontological turn’ in social theory has seen the emergence of new-materialist approaches – including Deleuze and Guattari’s ontology of assemblage and methodology of assemblage analysis – which allow us to consider disability as a material phenomenon without a return to essentialism.

Queer - Getsy, David (Whitechapel : documents of contemporary art, 2016)
"Rather than a book of queer theory for artists, this is a book of artists' queer tactics and infectious concepts. In the first such anthology to be centred on artists' writings, numerous conversations about queer practice are brought together from diverse individual, social and cultural contexts. Together these texts describe and examine the ways in which artists have used the concept of queer as a site of political and institutional critique, as a framework to develop new families and histories, as a spur to action, and as a basis from which to declare inassimilable difference"--Back cover.

Manifestly Haraway - Haraway, Donna Jeanne (Posthumanities, 2016)
"Electrifying, provocative, and controversial when first published thirty years ago, Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" is even more relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently challenges--of human and machine but also of gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location--are increasingly complex. The subsequent "Companion Species Manifesto," which further questions the human-nonhuman disjunction, is no less urgently needed in our time of environmental crisis and profound polarization. Manifestly Haraway brings together these momentous manifestos to expose the continuity and ramifying force of Haraway's thought, whose significance emerges with engaging immediacy in a sustained conversation between the author and her long-term friend and colleague Cary Wolfe. Reading cyborgs and companion species through and with each other, Haraway and Wolfe join in a wide-ranging exchange on the history and meaning of the manifestos in the context of biopolitics, feminism, Marxism, human-nonhuman relationships, making kin, literary tropes, material semiotics, the negative way of knowing, secular Catholicism, and more. The conversation ends by revealing the early stages of Haraway's "Chthulucene Manifesto," in tension with the teleologies of the doleful Anthropocene and the exterminationist Capitalocene. Deeply dedicated to a diverse and robust earthly flourishing, Manifestly Haraway promises to reignite needed discussion in and out of the academy about biologies, technologies, histories, and still possible futures."-- Provided by publisher.

Otherwise: imagining queer feminist art histories - Jones, Amelia; Silver, Erin (Rethinking art's histories, 2016)
Otherwise: Imagining queer feminist art histories" is the first publication to address queer feminist politics, methods and theories in relation to the visual arts, including new media, installation and performance art. Despite the crucial contribution of considerations of 'queer' to feminism in other disciplines of the humanities, and the strong impact of feminist art history on queer visual theory, a visible and influential queer feminist art history has remained elusive. This book fills the gap by offering a range of essays by key North American and European scholars, both emerging and renowned, who address the historiographic and political questions arising from the relationship between art history and queer theory in order to help map exclusions and to offer models of a new queer feminist art historical or curatorial approach.

Feminism is queer: the intimate connection between queer and feminist theory - Marinucci, Mimi (Zed Books, 2016)
Feminism is Queer is an introduction to the intimately related disciplines of gender and queer theory. While guiding the reader through complex theory, the author develops the original position of "queer feminism, " which presents queer theory as continuous with feminist theory. While there have been significant conceptual tensions between second wave feminism and traditional lesbian and gay studies, queer theory offers a paradigm for understanding gender, sex, and sexuality that avoids the conflict in order to develop solidarity among those interested in feminist theory and those interested in lesbian and gay rights. This accessible and comprehensive textbook carefully explains nuanced theoretical terminology and includes extensive suggested further reading to provide the reader with a full andthorough understanding of both disciplines.--Publisher information.

On rocks and hard places: A reflection on antiblackness in organizing against Islamophobia - Mugabo, Délice (Critical Ethnic Studies, 2016)
Partout en Europe et dans les Amériques, des groupes et des communautés se sont organisés contre la violence et les politiques islamophobes qui semblent se multiplier. La France et le Québec font partie des sociétés dont les lois ont attiré l'attention des médias internationaux et l'opposition militante, en particulier pour la manière dont elles ont réglementé les symboles religieux dans la sphère publique. En regardant les intersections de l'anti-noirceur et de l'islamophobie, la position subjuguée du sujet noir musulman devient plus claire. Délice Mugabo propose une généalogie de l'islamophobie centrée sur les Noirs asservis plutôt que sur la figure conventionnelle arabe ou sud-asiatique. À travers une approche afro-pessimiste, cet article propose ensuite une critique de la façon dont l'anti-noircisme non seulement fonde les politiques islamophobes, mais a également façonné l'organisation populaire contre l'islamophobie au Québec.

Feminist avant-garde: art of the 1970s : the Sammlung Verbund Collection, Vienna - Schor, Gabriele; Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna (Italie); Círculo de Bellas Artes (Madrid, Espagne); Palais des beaux-arts (Bruxelles, Belgique); Mjellby konstmuseum; Hamburger Kunsthalle; Photographers' Gallery; Museum Moderner Kunst (Autriche); Sammlung Verbund.; Schor, Gabriele; Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna (Italie); Círculo de Bellas Artes (Madrid, Espagne); et al. (Prestel, 2016)
Featuring a wide variety of work from artists both well-known and under the radar, this dynamic book reveals how women artists reclaimed control of the feminine image in photography, video, and performance art. This book documents a tectonic change in the way women portray themselves in art. Historically, women were depicted as a projection of male fantasies, prejudices, and relationships. However in the 1970s, for the first time, female artists began collectively to investigate visual representations of their own selves. They studied their own bodies and created the prospect of determined feminine identities. Editor Gabriele Schor explores the Feminist Avant-Garde to emphasize the role that these artists played for the last four decades. The works are provocative, radical, poetic, ironic, angry, cynical and heartfelt. The artists shared a collective consciousness that reassessed, and even rejected, what came before, turning to new ways of expression in the fields of photography, performance, film, and video. The collection SAMMLUNG VERBUND founded in 2004 in Vienna focuses on the feminist art movement of the 1970s as one of the main areas and is with 500 works the largest collection with this emphasis. Included are works by Eleanor Antin, Cindy Sherman, Ana Mendieta, Nil Yalter, Ketty La Rocca, Birgit Jürgenssen, Renate Bertlmann, Francesca Woodman and others. This important book emphasizes the accomplishments of women artists who have made a name for themselves while encouraging the young generation.

Whipping girl: A transsexual woman on sexism and the scapegoating of femininity - Serano, Julia (Seal Press, 2016)
Julia Serano partage ses expériences et ses idées - à la fois avant et après la transition - pour révéler les façons dont la peur, la suspicion et le dédain envers la féminité façonnent nos attitudes sociétales envers les femmes trans, ainsi que le genre et la sexualité dans leur ensemble. Les arguments bien rodés de Serano et son plaidoyer pionnier découlent de sa capacité à combler le fossé entre les perspectives biologiques et sociales souvent disparates sur le genre. Dans ce manifeste provocateur, elle expose à quel point la croyance culturelle est profondément enracinée selon laquelle la féminité est frivole, faible et passive. En plus de démystifier les idées fausses populaires sur le fait d'être transgenre, Serano fait valoir que les féministes et les militantes transgenres d'aujourd'hui doivent travailler pour embrasser et autonomiser la féminité - sous toutes ses formes merveilleuses.

Infiltrated Intimacies: The Case of Palestinian Returnees - Shalhoub-Kevorkian, Nadera (Feminist Studies, 2016)
This essay examines Palestinian women’s struggles following the 1948 Nakba, when many challenged their uprooting by attempting to return back to their homes and land. Analyzing women’s narratives recounting their experiences from 1948 to 1953 within the context of the settler-colonial regime of control, the essay reveals Israel’s criminalization of the return of Palestinian refugees as acts of “infiltration,” and the unspoken gendered history of trauma that infiltrates the intimate space of women’s families, bodies, and lives. By sharing women’s voices and their embodied memories about childbirth, menstruation, intimate family life, their homes, and domestic life, the article works to provide gender analyses of the political work of suffering, to demonstrate how women were uniquely targeted and affected by such criminalization. Unmasking the political history of trauma and suffering and borrowing meanings from women cast out as illegal by the Israeli state, positions women returnees as frontliners against the political illegality and criminalization of settler colonialism.

Feminist judgments: Rewritten opinions of the United States supreme court - Stanchi, Kathryn M.; Berger, Linda L.; Crawford, Bridget J. (Cambridge University Press, 2016)
Comment les opinions de la Cour suprême des États-Unis changeraient-elles si les juges utilisaient des méthodes et des perspectives féministes pour statuer sur les affaires ? C'est la question centrale à laquelle nous avons cherché à répondre en réunissant un groupe d'universitaires et de juristes pour mener à bien ce projet. Pour y répondre, ils utiliseraient des théories féministes pour réécrire les affaires de justice de genre les plus importantes tranchées par la Cour suprême des États-Unis depuis l'adoption de l'amendement final sur les droits civils en 1870 jusqu'à l'été 2015. Dans un premier temps, nous n'avons donné aucune indication à nos contributeurs sur ce que nous entendions par « féminisme ». Nous voulions que nos auteurs soient libres d'apporter leur propre vision du féminisme au projet. Pourtant, il serait fallacieux de suggérer que nous n'avons pas nous-mêmes une perspective particulière sur ce que sont le « féminisme », le « raisonnement féministe » ou les « méthodes féministes ». En effet, sans une telle perspective, nous n'aurions pas entrepris le projet. Nous reconnaissons le « féminisme » comme un mouvement et une perspective historiquement ancrés dans la politique, et qui motivent les batailles sociales, juridiques et autres pour l'égalité des femmes. Nous le comprenons également comme un mouvement et un mode d'enquête qui se sont développés pour approuver la justice pour tous, en particulier ceux historiquement opprimés ou marginalisés par ou à travers la loi. Nous croyons que le « féminisme » n'est pas l'apanage des femmes uniquement, et nous reconnaissons et célébrons les identités multiples et fluides contenues dans la catégorie « femme ». Dans cette vision large, nous reconnaissons que les féministes peuvent être en désaccord (et être toujours féministes) et qu'il n'existe pas de méthodes ou de processus de raisonnement féministes unitaires. Ainsi, lorsque nous parlons de méthodes féministes ou de processus de raisonnement féministes, nous entendons « méthodes » et « processus de raisonnement » au pluriel ., tout en reconnaissant qu'il existe un corpus riche et diversifié d'érudition qui s'est épanoui sous l'étiquette globale de « théorie juridique féministe ». En effet, ce sont les méthodes et les processus de raisonnement examinés et employés par de nombreux auteurs représentés dans le livre. Néanmoins, en façonnant le projet depuis ses débuts jusqu'aux pages finies, nous, en tant qu'éditeurs, avons été motivés par une vision large et expansive de ce qu'est le «féminisme». Cette vaste compréhension a sans aucun doute façonné le projet à bien des égards, y compris notre choix de cas, notre sélection d'auteurs et nos modifications, même si nous n'avons pas défini le féminisme pour nos contributeurs.

Conceptualizing Pornographication: A Lack of Clarity and Problems for Feminist Analysis - Tyler, Meagan; Quek, Kaye (Sexualization, Media, & Society, 2016)
The mainstreaming of pornography, often referred to as pornographication, pornification, or porn-chic, has become a topic of considerable academic and popular interest. In the last 15 years, an expanding academic literature has documented and begun to analyze the increasing consumption and normalization of pornography as well as pornographic imagery. More recently, there has also been a growing concern among policymakers and commentators in the mainstream media about trends labeled “sexualization” and, in particular, the potential consequences of these trends for children. This article begins by sketching out the academic origins of “pornographication” and related terms before considering the different ways that prominent authors have conceptualized them. Recent literature on sexualization is then outlined, with a focus on understanding this in the context of discussions around pornographication. Using a number of examples from key academic texts, and from prominent print media outlets in Australia, we argue that there is a lack of conceptual clarity about pornographication and that pornographication is often conflated with sexualization. We suggest that the lack of clarity in existing literature creates two key issues for feminist analysis: (1) it obscures the role of the pornography industry in the processes of pornographication and (2) it deflects discussion away from the potential harms of the normalization of pornography and pornographic imagery for adult women. It is, therefore, important to clarify and separate the terminology of pornographication and sexualization in order to further critical feminist analyses of these cultural trends.

Indigenous girls and the violence of settler colonial policing - Dhillon, Jaskiran K. (Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society, 2015)
In cities and towns across Canada, Indigenous girls are being hunted, harassed, and criminalized by local law enforcement agents and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. These normalized outbreaks of state control, often punctuated by the use of deadly force, are not isolated incidents in an otherwise just and fair social order. Rather, they are reflective of Indigenous girls’ daily realities embedded within the structure of an ongoing settler colonial social context that has strategically invented the criminal justice system to secure and maintain settler sovereignty. As such, this paper aims to redirect our critical analysis of the policing and caging of Indigenous girls through the geopolitics of settler colonialism. In the wake of mass protests against colonial state violence throughout 2014, resistance decrying the justice system and insisting that #BlackLivesMatters and that Indigenous lives matter, I argue that we have an urgent need to listen to the stories that Indigenous girls have to tell. These are not just any stories, but narratives that profoundly destabilize the hubristic portrayal of Canada as a humanitarian nation cleansed of settler colonial rule.

Re-thinking HIV-Related Stigma in Health Care Settings: A Qualitative Study - Gagnon, Marilou (Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, 2015)
People living with HIV (PLWH) continue to endure stigma and discrimination in the context of health care. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study designed to (a) describe stigmatizing and discriminatory practices in health care settings, and (b) explore both symbolic and structural stigma from the perspectives of PLWH. For the purpose of this qualitative study, 21 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted in the province of Quebec, Canada. The data were analyzed following the principles of thematic analysis. During analysis, three themes were identified, and relations between these themes were delineated to reflect the experiences of participants. The findings suggest that HIV-related stigma in health care settings is episodic in nature. The findings also suggest that HIV-related stigma is experienced through interactions with health care providers (symbolic stigma) and, finally, that it is applied systematically to manage risk in the context of health care (structural stigma).

Transness as Debility: Rethinking Intersections between Trans and Disabled Embodiments - Baril, Alexandre (Feminist Review, 2015)
Some authors in disability studies have identified limits of both the medical and social models of disability. They have developed an alternative model, which I call the ‘composite model of disability’, to theorise societies’ ableist norms and structures along with the subjective/phenomenological experience of disability. This model maintains that ableist oppression is not the only source of suffering for disabled people: impairment can be as well. From a feminist, queer, trans activist, anti-ableist perspective and using an intersectional, autoethnographic methodology, I apply this composite model of disability to trans identities to consider the potentially ‘debilitating’ aspects of transness. I argue that transness, like disability, has too often been perceived from two perspectives, medical or social, without the benefit of a third option. From a medical perspective, transness is reduced to an individual pathology curable with hormonal/surgical treatments, a conceptualisation that erases structural oppression. From a social point of view, transness is conceptualised as a neutral condition and variation in sex/gender identity. In this model, structural oppression (transphobia/cisgenderism) is seen as the only cause of ‘trans suffering’. I argue that, just as the medical and social models of disability provide limited opportunities for reflection on the complex experience of disability, medical and social understandings of transness, respectively, are insufficient to describe the complexity of trans experience. I explore the possibilities presented by the application of a composite model of disability in trans studies. By both problematising cisgenderist oppression and acknowledging trans people's subjective experiences of suffering through some of the debilitating aspects of transness, this composite model avoids the pitfalls of the medical and social models. The application of tools from disability studies to trans issues uncovers cisnormativity in disability movements and denounces ableism in trans movements. This will, I hope, solidify alliances between these communities and fields of study.

Food and femininity - Cairns, Kate; Johnston, Josée (Contemporary food studies: economy, culture and politics, 2015)
"Over the space of a few generations, women's relationship with food has changed dramatically. Yet -- despite significant advances in gender equality -- food and femininity remain closely connected in the public imagination as well as the emotional lives of women. While women encounter food-related pressures and pleasures as individuals, the social challenge to perform food femininities remains: as the nurturing mother, the talented home cook, the conscientious consumer, the svelte and health-savvy eater. In Food and Femininity, Kate Cairns and Josée Johnston explore these complex and often emotionally-charged tensions to demonstrate that food is essential to the understanding of femininity today. Drawing on extensive qualitative research in Toronto, they present the voices of over 100 food-oriented men and women from a range of race and class backgrounds. Their research reveals gendered expectations to purchase, prepare, and enjoy food within the context of time crunches, budget restrictions, political commitments, and the pressure to manage health and body weight. The book analyses how women navigate multiple aspects of foodwork for themselves and others, from planning meals, grocery shopping, and feeding children, to navigating conflicting preferences, nutritional and ethical advice, and the often-inequitable division of household labour. What emerges is a world in which women's choices continue to be closely scrutinized -- a world where 'failing' at food is still perceived as a failure of femininity. A compelling rethink of contemporary femininity, this is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the sociology of food, gender studies and consumer culture."

Exile and pride: Disability, queerness, and liberation - Clare, Eli (Duke University Press, 2015)
Publié pour la première fois en 1999, le révolutionnaire Exile and Pride est essentiel à l'histoire et à l'avenir de la politique des personnes handicapées. L'écriture révélatrice d'Eli Clare sur ses expériences en tant qu'activiste/écrivain genderqueer handicapé blanc l'a établi comme l'un des principaux écrivains sur les intersections de la queerness et du handicap et a changé de façon permanente le paysage de la politique du handicap et de la libération queer. Avec le dévouement d'un poète à la vérité et l'exigence de justice d'un activiste, Clare déroule habilement les multiples histoires à partir desquelles se déploie notre sens de soi en constante évolution. Ses essais mêlent mémoires, histoire et pensée politique pour explorer les significations et les expériences du chez-soi : le chez-soi en tant que lieu, communauté, corps, identité et activisme. Ici, les lecteurs trouveront un cadre intersectionnel pour comprendre comment nous vivons réellement avec l'hydraulique quotidienne de l'oppression, du pouvoir et de la résistance. À la base de l'exploration de Clare sur la destruction de l'environnement et le capitalisme, la sexualité et la violence institutionnelle, le genre et le corps politique, se trouve un appel à des mouvements de justice sociale véritablement accessibles

Pornography, feminist views of - Davis, Berta (The International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality, 2015)
Feminist women's attitudes toward pornography are significantly polarized. Anti‐porn feminists have taken a position that pornography is degrading toward women, leads to distortion of healthy male‐female sexuality, leads to distorted images of the female body, increases male anxiety about sexual adequacy, sexual compulsivity, and increase violence toward women including rape and sexual harassment.

It's in Our Blood: Indigenous women's knowledge as a critical path to women's well-being - Gaudet, Janice Cindy; Caron-Bourbonnais, Diane (AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples, 2015)
The research reported in this article sought to shed light on the North, Central and South American indigenous moon time teachings related to the menstrual cycle of women. The historical institutionalization, medicalization and colonization of indigenous women's practices have devalued and almost destroyed this knowledge. This study explored the question of whether or not lost indigenous knowledge of women's power can be reclaimed for women's health and well-being. A qualitative participatory research methodology was adopted, based on an indigenous paradigm and scholarly rigour and including protocols acceptable to an Ojibwe grandmother, Isabelle Meawasige, who shared her knowledge and experience. The experiential knowledge gained and the meanings expressed by female participants in a circle sharing facilitated by the principal author are presented and discussed. The results of this research reveal optimistic possibilities to co-create health and well-being for the participants, grounded in what is both visible and invisible within indigenous women's culture.

Black looks: Race and representation - hooks, bell (Routledge, 2015)
Dans les essais critiques rassemblés dans Black Looks , Bell Hooks interroge les vieux récits et plaide pour des façons alternatives de regarder la noirceur, la subjectivité noire et la blancheur. Elle se concentre sur le spectateur - en particulier, la façon dont la noirceur et les Noirs sont vécus dans la littérature, la musique, la télévision et surtout le cinéma - et son objectif est de créer une intervention radicale dans la façon dont nous parlons de race et de représentation. Comme elle le décrit : "les essais de Black Looks sont destinés à défier et à déstabiliser, à perturber et à renverser". Comme peuvent en témoigner les étudiants, les universitaires, les militants, les intellectuels et tous les autres lecteurs qui se sont intéressés au livre depuis sa sortie originale en 1992, c'est exactement ce que font ces articles.

Feminist theory: From margin to center - hooks, bell (Routledge, 2015)
Avec "De la marge au centre", son deuxième essai paru aux États-Unis en 1984, bell hooks poursuit la réflexion initiée dans "Ne suis-je pas une femme?" Étudiant les succès et les manquements des mouvements féministes qui ont traversé le xxe siècle, elle constate l'échec de la création d'un féminisme de masse qui s'adresserait à toutes. Elle s'attache ainsi, dans un style toujours accessible, à bouleverser les représentations habituelles de la pensée féministe majoritaire en plaçant au centre de sa réflexion les femmes noires et/ou des milieux populaires, insistant sur le besoin profond d'une approche révolutionnaire de ces questionnements. Cet ouvrage percutant a imposé bell hooks comme l'une des voix les plus influentes et stimulantes de la scène féministe

Gender, poverty, and inequality: a brief history of feminist contributions in the field of international development - Kabeer, Naila (Gender & Development, 2015)
This paper provides a brief history of feminist contributions to the analysis of gender, poverty, and inequality in the field of international development. It draws out the continuous threads running through these contributions over the years, as the focus has moved from micro-level analysis to a concern with macro-level forces. It concludes with a brief note on some of the confusions and conflations that continue to bedevil attempts to explore the relationship between gender, poverty, and inequality.

Language and masculinities: performances, intersections, dislocations - Milan, Tommaso M. (Routledge critical studies in discourse, 2015)
This volume showcases cutting-edge research in the linguistic and discursive study of masculinities, comprising the first significant edited collection on language and masculinities since Johnson and Meinhof’s 1997 volume. Overall, the chapters are linked together by a critical analytical perspective that seeks to understand the relationships between discourse, masculinities, and power. Whereas some of the chapters offer detailed, linguistically informed critiques of the ways in which old and new expressions of masculinities are complicit in the reproduction of men’s hegemonic positions of power, others provide a more complex picture, one in which collusion and subversion go hand in hand. Contributions argue for the need for research on language and masculinities to expand its remit so as to engage with "gay masculinities," and unsettle gendered categories in order to consider the ways in which women, transgender, and intersex individuals also perform a variety of masculinities. Finally, unlike Johnson and Meinhof’s 1997 collection, this volume not only offers a wider—and perhaps "queerer" perspective—on the study of language and masculinities, but also covers a broader geographical and socio-cultural spectrum, including work on Brazil, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Africa.

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

Real queer?: sexual orientation and gender identity refugees in the Canadian refugee apparatus - Murray, David A. B. (Rowman & Littlefield International, Ltd., 2015)
An ethnographic exploration of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) refugee claimants' experiences of navigating the complex discourses, protocols, practices and personnel of Canada's refugee determination system. "How do I prove I'm gay?" This is the central question for many refugee claimants who are claiming asylum on the basis of sexual orientation persecution. But what are the inherent challenges in obtaining this proof? How is the system that assesses this predicated upon homonormative frameworks and nervous borders? What is the impact of gender, race and class? What is an `authentic' sexual or gender identity and how can it be performed? Real Queer? is an ethnographic examination of the Canadian refugee apparatus analysing the social, cultural, political and affective dimensions of a legal and bureaucratic process predicated on separating the `authentic' from the `bogus' LGBT refugee. Through interviews, conversations and participant observation with various participants ranging from refugee claimants to their lawyers, Refugee Protection Division staff and local support group workers, it reveals the ways in which sexuality simultaneously disrupts and is folded into the nation-state's dynamic modes of gate-keeping, citizenship and identity-making, and the uneven effects of these discourses and practices on this category of transnational migrants

The mask you live in - Newsom, Jennifer Siebel; Anthony, Jessica; Kanopy (Firme) (Kanopy Streaming, 2015)
HE MASK YOU LIVE IN follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men. Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.

Whispers of the Unspeakable: New York and Montreal Newspaper Coverage of the Oscar Wilde Trials in 1895 - Robinson, Greg (Journal of Transnational American Studies, 2015)
Greg Robinson’s article “Whispers of the Unspeakable: New York and Montreal Newspaper Coverage of the Oscar Wilde Trials in 1895,” originally published in 2010 in the French-language journal Rue des Beaux Arts, no. 24 (2010), is here republished and—with much gratitude—translated (for the original text, please see http://www.oscholars.com/RBA/twenty-four/24.7/Articles.htm). Robinson’s transnational study focuses on how reading the specific language of newspaper reports of the Oscar Wilde case, literally from a distance, from places less emotionally attached to and nationally distinct from the scandal’s epicenter in London, England, provides insight into “the state of everyday public knowledge and discussion of (homo)sexuality, at least west of the Atlantic”; thus Robinson’s fascinating research, which involves numerous newspapers—from the elite New York Times to the New York Herald, from the Montreal Daily Star to the French-language papers of Quebec—concludes that the popular press, read transnationally, offers key insights into the developing attitudes toward and levels of interest in the newly forming identity of the “homosexual” across societies.

"Why Should Our Bodies End at the Skin?": Embodiment, Boundaries, and Somatechnics - SHILDRICK, MARGRIT (Hypatia, 2015)
Donna Haraway's enduring question—"Why should our bodies end at the skin?" (Haraway 1990, 220)—is ever more relevant in the postmodern era, where issues of bodies, boundaries, and technologies increasingly challenge not only the normative performance of the human subject, but also the very understanding of what counts as human. Critical Disability Studies has taken up the problematic of technology, particularly in relation to the deployment of prostheses by people with disabilities. Yet rehabilitation to normative practice or appearance is no longer the point; instead, the lived experience of disability generates its own specific possibilities that both limit and extend the performativity of the embodied self. I look at what is at stake in the challenge to the Western logos that comes specifically from the capacities of the disabled body, understood not as a less than perfect form of the normative, but as figuring difference in a nonbinary sense. Feminist theory has long contested the isomorphism of the logos, but I go beyond simply setting out the grounds for revaluing multiple variant forms. The feminist turn to Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze opens up the problematic to a celebratory positioning of difference and transcorporeality as the very conditions of life.

Normal life: Administrative violence, critical trans politics, and the limits of law - Spade, Dean (Book collections on Project MUSE, 2015)
Attendez—qu'est-ce qui ne va pas avec les droits ? On suppose généralement que les personnes transgenres et non conformes au genre devraient suivre les stratégies de droits civils et «d'égalité» des organisations de défense des droits des lesbiennes et des homosexuels en faisant campagne pour des réformes juridiques qui garantiraient ostensiblement la non-discrimination et une protection égale devant la loi. Cette approche suppose que la meilleure façon de lutter contre la pauvreté et la criminalisation qui affligent les populations trans est d'obtenir une reconnaissance légale et une inclusion dans les institutions de l'État. Mais cette stratégie est-elle efficace ? Dans la vie normaleDean Spade présente des critiques révélatrices du cadre d'égalité juridique pour le changement social et pointe des exemples d'activisme trans populaire transformateur qui soulève des demandes qui vont au-delà des réformes traditionnelles des droits civiques. Spade explose les hypothèses sur ce que les droits légaux peuvent faire pour les populations marginalisées et décrit les processus et les formations de résistance transformatrice qui s'attaquent aux causes profondes du mal et de la violence. Dans la nouvelle postface de cette édition révisée et augmentée, Spade note l'intégration rapide de la politique trans et constate que ses prédictions selon lesquelles l'obtention d'une reconnaissance légale ne profitera pas aux populations trans se concrétisent. Spade examine les efforts récents de l'administration Obama et des défenseurs de l'égalité des trans pour "pinkwash" la violence d'État en articulant les systèmes militaires et pénitentiaires américains comme des sites pour les réformes d'inclusion des trans. Dans le contexte de la récente visibilité accrue des personnes trans et de la politique trans, Spade continue de plaider pour le démantèlement des systèmes de violence d'État qui raccourcissent la vie des personnes trans. Aujourd'hui plus que jamais, Normal Life est un appel urgent à la justice et à la libération trans, et aux transformations radicales que cela nécessitera.

Land as pedagogy: Nishnaabeg intelligence and rebellious transformation - Simpson, Leanne Betasamosake (Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society, 2014)
A resurgence of Indigenous political cultures, governances and nation-building requires generations of Indigenous peoples to grow up intimately and strongly connected to our homelands, immersed in our languages and spiritualities, and embodying our traditions of agency, leadership, decision-making and diplomacy. This requires a radical break from state education systems – systems that are primarily designed to produce communities of individuals willing to uphold settler colonialism. This paper uses Nishnaabeg stories to advocate for a reclamation of land as pedagogy, both as process and context for Nishnaabeg intelligence, in order to nurture a generation of Indigenous peoples that have the skills, knowledge and values to rebuild our nation according to the word views and values of Nishnaabeg culture.

LGBT activism and the making of Europe: A rainbow Europe - Ayoub, Phillip; Paternotte, David (Gender and politics series, 2014)
Europe has long been regarded as a unique place for the promotion and furthering of LGBT rights. This important and compelling study investigates the alleged uniqueness and its ties to a relatively long history of LGBT and queer movements in the region. Contributors argue that LGBT movements were inspired by specific ideas about European democratic values and a responsibility towards human rights, and that they sought to realize these on the ground through activism, often crossing borders to foster a wider movement. In making this argument, they discuss the 'idea of Europe' as it relates to LGBT rights, the history of European LGBT movements, the role of European institutions in adopting LGBT policies, and the construction of European 'others' in this process.

Bananas, beaches and bases: making feminist sense of international politics - Enloe, Cynthia H. (University of California Press, 2014)
In this brand new radical analysis of globalization, Cynthia Enloe examines recent events—Bangladeshi garment factory deaths, domestic workers in the Persian Gulf, Chinese global tourists, and the UN gender politics of guns—to reveal the crucial role of women in international politics today. With all new and updated chapters, Enloe describes how many women's seemingly personal strategies—in their marriages, in their housework, in their coping with ideals of beauty—are, in reality, the stuff of global politics. Enloe offers a feminist gender analysis of the global politics of both masculinities and femininities, dismantles an apparently overwhelming world system, and reveals that system to be much more fragile and open to change than we think.

The SAGE handbook of feminist theory - Evans, Mary (SAGE reference, 2014)
At no point in recorded history has there been an absence of intense, and heated, discussion about the subject of how to conduct relations between women and men. This Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to these omnipresent issues and debates, mapping the present and future of thinking about feminist theory. The chapters gathered here present the state of the art in scholarship in the field, covering: Epistemology and marginality; Literary, visual and cultural representations; Sexuality; Macro and microeconomics of gender; Conflict and peace. The most important consensus in this volume is that a central organizing tenet of feminism is its willingness to examine the ways in which gender and relations between women and men have been (and are) organized. The authors bring a shared commitment to the critical appraisal of gender relations, as well as a recognition that to think ‘theoretically’ is not to detach concerns from lived experience but to extend the possibilities of understanding. With this focus on theory and theorizing about the world in which we live, this Handbook asks us, across all disciplines and situations, to abandon our taken-for-granted assumptions about the world and interrogate both the origin and the implications of our ideas about gender relations and feminism. It is an essential reference work for advanced students and academics not only of feminist theory, but of gender and sexuality across the humanities and social sciences.

Bad feminist: essays - Gay, Roxane (Harper Perennial, 2014)
In these funny and insightful essays, Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, coming from one of our most interesting and important cultural critics.

Dis/ability studies: theorising disablism and ableism - Goodley, Dan (Routledge, 2014)
In this ground-breaking new work, Dan Goodley makes the case for a novel, distinct, intellectual, and political project – dis/ability studies – an orientation that might encourage us to think again about the phenomena of disability and ability. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas, including sociology, psychology, education, policy and cultural studies, this much needed text takes the most topical and important issues in critical disability theory, and pushes them into new theoretical territory. Goodley argues that we are entering a time of dis/ability studies, when both categories of disability and ability require expanding upon as a response to the global politics of neoliberal capitalism. Divided into two parts, the first section traces the dual processes of ableism and disablism, suggesting that one cannot exist without the other, and makes the case for a research-driven and intersectional analysis of dis/ability. The second section applies this new analytical framework to a range of critical topics, including: The biopolitics of dis/ability and debility Inclusive education Psychopathology Markets, communities and civil society. Dis/ability Studies provides much needed depth, texture and analysis in this emerging discipline. This accessible text will appeal to students and researchers of disability across a range of disciplines, as well as disability activists, policymakers, and practitioners working directly with disabled people.

Rethinking the effects paradigm in porn studies - McNair, Brian (Porn Studies, 2014)
It has been an assumption of most anti-pornography discourse that porn damages women (and children) in a variety of ways. In Porno? Chic!, the author interrogated this assumption by examining the correlation between the incidence of sexual violence and other indicators of misogyny, and the availability and accessibility of pornography within a number of societies. This article develops that work with a specific focus on the regulatory environment as it relates to pornography and sexual representation. Does a liberal regulatory regime in sexual culture correlate with a relatively advanced state of sexual politics in a given country? Conversely, does an illiberal regime, where pornography and other forms of sexual culture are banned or severely restricted, correlate with relatively strong patriarchal structures? A comparative cross-country analysis seeks to explain the correlations identified, and to assess the extent to which the availability of porn can be viewed as a causal or a consequential characteristic of those societies where feminism has achieved significant advances.

The Black body in ecstasy: reading race, reading pornography - Nash, Jennifer C. (Next wave : new directions in women's studies, 2014)
In The Black Body in Ecstasy, Jennifer C. Nash rewrites black feminism's theory of representation. Her analysis moves beyond black feminism's preoccupation with injury and recovery to consider how racial fictions can create a space of agency and even pleasure for black female subjects. Nash's innovative readings of hardcore pornographic films from the 1970s and 1980s develop a new method of analyzing racialized pornography that focuses on black women's pleasures in blackness: delights in toying with and subverting blackness, moments of racialized excitement, deliberate enactments of hyperbolic blackness, and humorous performances of blackness that poke fun at the fantastical project of race. Drawing on feminist and queer theory, critical race theory, and media studies, Nash creates a new black feminist interpretative practice, one attentive to the messy contradictions—between delight and discomfort, between desire and degradation—at the heart of black pleasures.

“It Happened More Than Once”: Freezing Deaths in Saskatchewan - Razack, Sherene (Canadian Journal of Women and the Law, 2014)
Le présent article analyse les enquêtes et une commission sur des décès par hypothermie en Saskatchewan, au Canada. Il souligne les économies raciales et d’espace liées à ces décès, et il suggère que les relations structurelles propres au colonialisme de peuplement produisent et encouragent les expulsions continues et quotidiennes d’autochtones de la part des colonisateurs, expulsions qui sont inévitablement violentes. La ville coloniale appartient au colonisateur et son occupation est inévitablement récusée par la présence des autochtones dans la ville. L’autochtonité met mal à l’aise, car elle conteste la prétention du colonisateur à la légitimité en remettant en cause une fiction très tenace dans les états coloniaux selon laquelle les peuples autochtones seraient à l’agonie. La pratique qui consiste à repousser les autochtones aux périphéries de la ville vient du besoin des colonisateurs de maintenir les lignes de force des villes coloniales. Aujourd’hui, quand cette pratique est scrutée par le droit, comme ce fut le cas dans l’enquête sur le décès de Neil Stonechild, et dans des enquêtes sur les décès par hypothermie, elle est considérée soit comme le fait de quelques policiers sans vergogne ou encore on la nie carrément. Ce qui demeure dans les registres judiciaires, toutefois, ce sont les économies raciales d’espace dans la ville coloniale et la dévalorisation persistante de la vie autochtone, une dévalorisation que la loi produit et soutient. Dans la première partie, je présente des idées sur les économies raciales et d’espace de la ville coloniale. Dans la deuxième partie, j’étudie le cas du décès de Neil Stonechild, ainsi que la réponse du droit à ce décès, la Commission d’enquête Wright. Dans la troisième partie, j’analyse les enquêtes sur les décès par hypothermie de Rodney Niastus et de Lawrence Wegner, deux jeunes autochtones morts dix ans après Stonechild, et j’explore deux mouvements dans l’espace et le temps : Niastus et Wegner traversant la ville pour trouver la mort dans un champ gelé de la zone nord-ouest, et le cheminement que l’enquête nous invite à faire en nous faisant croire que Niastus et Wegner sont les seuls responsables de leur décès. Dans le panorama des décès d’autochtones en détention en Saskatchewan, y compris en prison, par suicide et à la suite de violents affrontements avec la police, le corps d’un autochtone est un corps qui ne peut être assassiné.

Anti/pro/critical porn studies - Smith, Clarissa; Attwood, Feona (Porn Studies, 2014)
In this introductory article we explore contemporary debates about the ‘critical’ study of pornography in relation to ‘anti-porn’, ‘pro-porn’, ‘sex-positive’ and ‘sex-critical’ approaches, and the recent reframing of pornography and sex more generally in relation to postfeminism and neoliberalism. The article reviews emerging work in porn studies, discusses the importance of developing a critical examination of the porn industries, and introduces the contributions that comprise this first issue. We end with some thoughts on nomenclature.

Queer excursions: retheorizing binaries in language, gender, and sexuality - Zimman, Lal; Davis, Jenny L.; Raclaw, Joshua (Studies in language and gender, 2014)
Across scholarship on gender and sexuality, binaries like female versus male and gay versus straight have been problematized as symbols of the stigmatization and erasure of non-normative subjects and practices. The chapters of Queer Excursions offer a series of distinct perspectives on these binaries as well as on a number of other, less immediately apparent dichotomies that nevertheless permeate the gendered and sexual lives of speakers in various contexts. Some chapters focus on the limiting or misleading qualities of binaristic analyses, while others suggest that binaries are a crucial component of social meaning within particular communities of study. Rather than simply accepting binary structures as inevitable, or discarding them from our analyses entirely based on their oppressive or reductionary qualities, this volume advocates for a retheorization of the binary that affords more complex and contextually grounded engagement with speakers’ own orientations to dichotomous systems. It is from this perspective that contributors identify a number of diverging conceptualizations of binaries—including those that are non-mutually exclusive, those that liberate in the same moment that they constrain, those that are imposed implicitly by researchers, and those that recontextualize familiar divisions with innovative meanings. With each chapter having a perspective on locally salient linguistic practices that help constitute gender and sexuality in marginalized communities, what the contributions to Queer Excursions together demonstrate is that researchers must be careful to avoid the assumption that our own preconceptions about binary social structures will be shared by the communities we study.

Servants of Allah: African muslims enslaved in the americas - Diouf, Sylviane A. (New York University Press, 2013)
Servants of Allah présente une histoire des musulman.e.s africain.e.s, en les suivant de l'Afrique de l'Ouest aux Amériques. Bien que beaucoup supposent que la foi musulmane qu'iels ont apportée avec eux aux Amériques a été rapidement absorbée par le nouveau milieu chrétien, comme Sylviane A. Diouf le démontre dans cet ouvrage méticuleusement documenté et révolutionnaire, l'islam a prospéré à grande échelle pendant l'esclavage. Elle détaille comment, même en esclavage, de nombreux.euses musulman.e.s ont réussi à suivre la plupart des préceptes de leur religion. Lettré.e.s, citadin.e.s et grand.e.s voyageureuses, iels ont puisé dans leur organisation, leur solidarité et la force de leurs convictions pour jouer un rôle majeur dans les révoltes d'esclaves les plus connues. Mais malgré toutes leurs réalisations et leurs contributions à l'histoire et aux cultures de la diaspora africaine, les musulman.e.s ont été largement ignoré.e.s. Servants of Allah—a Choice 1999 Outstanding Academic Title—éclaire le rôle de l'Islam dans la vie des pratiquant.e.s individuel.le.s et des communautés, et montre que bien que la religion n'ait pas survécu aux Amériques sous sa forme orthodoxe, sa marque peut être trouvée dans certains religions, traditions et créations artistiques des personnes d'ascendance africaine. Cette édition du 15e anniversaire a été mise à jour pour inclure de nouveaux matériaux et analyses, un examen des développements dans le domaine, des perspectives de nouvelles recherches et de nouvelles illustrations.

Orchids, intersex and the auto/biographical project - Hart, Phoebe (Studies in Documentary Film, 2013)
Auto/biographical documentaries ask audiences to take a ‘leap of faith’, not being able to offer any real 'proof of the people and events they claim to document, other than that of the film-maker's saying this is what happened. With only memory and history seen through the distorting lens of time, ‘the authenticity of experience functions as a receding horizon of truth in which memory and testimony are articulated as modes of salvage’. Orchids: My Intersex Adventure follows a salvaging of the film-maker's life events and experiences, being born with an intersex condition, and, via the filming and editing process, revolving around the core question: who am I? From this transformative creative documentary practice evolves a new way of embodying experience and ‘seeing’, playfully dubbed here as the ‘intersex gaze’.

Teaching community: A pedagogy of hope. - hooks, bell (Taylor and Francis, 2013)
Il y a dix ans, bell hooks étonnait les lecteurices avec Enseigner à transgresser : l'éducation comme pratique de la liberté . Vient maintenant Communauté d'enseignement : une pédagogie de l'espoir - une œuvre puissante et visionnaire qui enrichira notre enseignement et nos vies. Combinant une réflexion critique sur l'éducation avec des récits autobiographiques, hooks invite les lecteurices à étendre le discours sur la race, le sexe, la classe et la nationalité au-delà de la salle de classe dans des situations d'apprentissage quotidiennes. L'enseignement, explique-t-elle, peut avoir lieu n'importe où, n'importe quand - pas seulement dans les salles de classe des collèges, mais dans les églises, les librairies, les maisons où les gens se réunissent pour partager des idées qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. Dans Teaching Community, bell hooks cherche à théoriser à partir de la place du positif, en regardant ce qui fonctionne. Écrivant sur les luttes pour mettre fin au racisme et à la suprématie blanche, elle fait valoir que "personne ne naît raciste. Tout le monde fait un choix". Communauté d'enseignement nous explique comment nous pouvons choisir de mettre fin au racisme et de créer une communauté bien-aimée. hooks se penche sur de nombreux problèmes, parmi lesquels la spiritualité en classe, les Blancs cherchant à mettre fin au racisme et les relations érotiques entre professeur.e.s et étudiant.e.s. L'esprit, la lutte, le service, l'amour, les idéaux de connaissance partagée et d'apprentissage partagé - ces valeurs motivent un changement social progressif. Les enseignant.e.s visionnaires savent que l'éducation démocratique ne peut jamais se limiter à une salle de classe. L'enseignement - si souvent sous-estimé dans notre société - peut être une activité joyeuse et inclusive. bell hooks montre le chemin. "Lorsque les enseignant.e.s enseignent avec amour, en combinant attention, engagement, connaissances, responsabilité, respect et confiance, nous sommes souvent capables d'entrer dans la classe et d'aller droit au cœur du problème, qui est de savoir quoi faire un jour donné pour créer le meilleur climat d'apprentissage."

Gendered Labour Migrations in Europe and Emblematic Migratory Figures - Kofman, Eleonore (Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2013)
This paper explores the dichotomies and gendered invisibilities underpinning the concept of the knowledge economy and society through a closer examination of two emblematic and contrasting figures working in Information and Communication Technology and domestic/care work as bearers of different configurations of knowledge and skills in the contemporary circuits of globalisation. Such knowledge can be broken down into different types—such as embrained, encoded, embodied and encultured—which are valued differentially and with consequences for gendered labour markets. These gendered differences are reflected in current immigration policies which privilege migrants in scientific and information technology sectors and discount those engaged in care work, associated with embodied knowledge and skills. The impact of these differences has been reinforced during a period of economic recession when immigration has become increasingly restricted, even amongst the skilled.

The gendered working lives of seven Jamaican women in Canada: A story about "here" and "there" in a transnational economy - Lawson, Erica (Feminist Formations, 2013)
L'article traite du cas de 1978 de sept femmes jamaïcaines qui devaient être expulsées du Canada et des questions soulevées par le cas concernant la valeur du travail des femmes et les politiques d'immigration discriminatoires. Plus précisément, l'article évalue le West Indian Domestic Scheme, un accord entre le Canada et certains pays anglophones des Caraïbes pour envoyer des femmes antillaises au Canada afin de remédier à la pénurie de main-d'œuvre domestique. Il fait valoir que les termes de l'accord ont facilité l'expulsion des travailleurs domestiques sans tenir compte de la façon dont le processus de migration avait modifié leurs relations sociales et personnelles avec leurs enfants, leurs familles et leurs ménages, à la fois « ici » et « là-bas », d'une manière qui leur a rendu difficile le retour à la maison. Ce faisant, l'article aborde les complexités transnationales des femmes s des vies qui restent en contradiction avec les politiques d'immigration et d'emploi. L'objectif de l'article est d'élucider pourquoi les femmes, dans leur rôle de mères, ont décidé de contester les ordres de quitter le Canada et d'éclairer les façons dont les femmes racisées trouvent les moyens de négocier des espaces intermédiaires qui leur permettent de survivre.

Fat - Lupton, Deborah (Short cuts, 2013)
4e de couv.: In contemporary western societies the fat body has become a focus of stigmatizing discourses and practices aimed at disciplining, regulating and containing it. Despite the fact that in many western countries fat bodies outnumber those that are thin, fat people are still socially marginalized and treated with derision and even repulsion. Medical and public health experts insist that an ‘obesity epidemic’ exists and that fatness is a pathological condition which should be prevented and controlled. Fat is a book about why the fat body has become so reviled and viewed as diseased, the target of such intense discussion and debate about ways to reduce its size down to socially and medically acceptable dimensions. It is also about the lived experience of fat embodiment: how does it feel to be fat in a fat-phobic society? Deborah Lupton explores fat as a cultural artefact: a bodily substance or body shape that is given meaning by complex and shifting systems of ideas, practices, emotions, material objects and interpersonal relationships. Fat reviews current scholarship and research into obesity discourse and politics, drawing upon critical perspectives offered in the humanities and social sciences and by fat activism and the size acceptance movement. It will be an engaging introduction for the interested general reader, as well as for students across the humanities and social sciences.

Porno? Chic!: how pornography changed the world and made it a better place - McNair, Brian (Routledge, 2013)
Porno? Chic! examines the relationship between the proliferation of pornography and sexualised culture in the West and social and cultural trends which have advanced the rights of women and homosexuals. Brian McNair addresses this relationship with an analysis of trends in sexualised culture since 2002 linked to a transnational analysis of change in sexual politics and sex/gender relations in a range of societies, from the sexually liberalised societies of advanced capitalism to those in which women and homosexuals remain tightly controlled by authoritarian, patriarchal regimes. In this accessible, jargon-free book, Brian McNair examines why those societies in which sexualised culture is the most liberalised and pervasive are also those in which the socio-economic and political rights of women and homosexuals have advanced the most.

Towards an Australian Indigenous Women's Standpoint Theory - Moreton-Robinson, Aileen (Australian feminist studies, 2013)
In this article I outline an Australian Indigenous women's standpoint theory. I argue that an Indigenous women's standpoint generates problematics informed by our knowledges and experiences. Acknowledging that Indigenous women's individual experiences will differ due to intersecting oppressions produced under social, political, historical and material conditions that we share consciously or unconsciously. These conditions and the sets of complex relations that discursively constitute us in the everyday are also complicated by our respective cultural differences and the simultaneity of our compliance and resistance as Indigenous sovereign female subjects.

Women in Western political thought - Okin, Susan Moller (Princeton University Press, 2013)
In this pathbreaking study of the works of Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, and Mill, Susan Moller Okin turns to the tradition of political philosophy that pervades Western culture and its institutions to understand why the gap between formal and real gender equality persists. Our philosophical heritage, Okin argues, largely rests on the assumption of the natural inequality of the sexes. Women cannot be included as equals within political theory unless its deep-rooted assumptions about the traditional family, its sex roles, and its relation to the wider world of political society are challenged.

Epistemic Justice as a Virtue of Social Institutions - Anderson, Elizabeth (Social Epistemology, 2012)
In Epistemic injustice, Miranda Fricker makes a tremendous contribution to theorizing the intersection of social epistemology with theories of justice. Theories of justice often take as their object of assessment either interpersonal transactions (specific exchanges between persons) or particular institutions. They may also take a more comprehensive perspective in assessing systems of institutions. This systemic perspective may enable control of the cumulative effects of millions of individual transactions that cannot be controlled at the individual or institutional levels. This is true not only with respect to the overall distribution of such goods as income and wealth, but also with respect to the goods of testimonial and hermeneutical justice. Cognitive biases that may be difficult for even epistemically virtuous individuals to correct on their own may be more susceptible to correction if we focus on the principles that should govern our systems of testimonial gathering and assessment. Hence, while Fricker’s focus on individual epistemic virtue is important, we also need to consider what epistemic justice as a virtue of social systems would require. My paper will indicate some directions forward on this front, focusing on the need for integration of diverse institutions and persons engaged in inquiry.

Contested psychiatric ontology and feminist critique: ‘Female Sexual Dysfunction’ and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Angel, Katherine (History of the Human Sciences, 2012)
In this article I discuss the emergence of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) within American psychiatry and beyond in the postwar period, setting out what I believe to be important and suggestive questions neglected in existing scholarship. Tracing the nomenclature within successive editions of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), I consider the reification of the term ‘FSD’, and the activism and scholarship that the rise of the category has occasioned. I suggest that analysis of FSD benefits from scrutiny of a wider range of sources (especially since the popular and scientific cross-pollinate). I explore the multiplicity of FSD that emerges when one examines this wider range, but I also underscore a reinscribing of anxieties about psychogenic aetiologies. I then argue that what makes the FSD case additionally interesting, over and above other conditions with a contested status, is the historically complex relationship between psychiatry and feminism that is at work in contemporary debates. I suggest that existing literature on FSD has not yet posed some of the most important and salient questions at stake in writing about women’s sexual problems in this period, and can only do this when the relationship between ‘second-wave’ feminism, ‘post-feminism’, psychiatry and psychoanalysis becomes part of the terrain to be analysed, rather than the medium through which analysis is conducted.

What does queer theory teach us about intersectionality? - Duong, Kevin (Politics & Gender, 2012)
“What does queer theory teach us about x ?” ask Berlant and Warner (1995). “As difficult as it would be to spell out programmatic content for an answer, this simple question still has the power to wrench frames” (p. 348). This challenge comes from an early essay published to circumvent queer theory's appropriation. Its power “to wrench frames” is what I am posing to intersectional research, not only to reflect on what intersectionality has allowed feminists to accomplish but also to identify some existing shortcomings in the scope and domain of its employment. Because there is little disputing intersectionality's theoretical contribution to feminist research in the past decades—one scholar calls it “the most important theoretical contribution that women's studies . . . has made so far” (McCall 2005, 1771)—it is important for us to take stock of the sorts of political problems that intersectional scholarship has addressed and the ones to which it has often been inattentive.

The Sexualisation of Culture? - Gill, Rosalind (Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 2012)
This article examines contemporary debates about the ‘sexualisation of culture’. It sets out the context for claims that Western societies are becoming more sexualised and it explores a number of competing perspectives about sexualisation. It then looks in more detail at the nature of claims about sexualisation as they emerge from the different disciplinary perspectives of Psychology and Media and Cultural Studies, contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of each, and raising criticisms of both. In a final discussion section, the article considers the usefulness or otherwise of the notion of ‘sexualisation’ as analytic category and points to the need to go beyond polarised positions. It advocates a psychosocial approach that takes seriously differences and power in considering the contemporary proliferation of ‘sexualised’ images, practices and media

The erotic life of racism - Holland, Sharon Patricia (Duke University Press, 2012)
Intervention majeure dans les domaines de la théorie critique de la race, du féminisme noir et de la théorie queer, The Erotic Life of Racism soutient que les analyses théoriques et politiques de la race ont largement échoué à comprendre et à décrire la profonde banalité du racisme et la manière dont il fonctionne comme une pratique quotidienne. Si le racisme a un quotidien, comment reste-t-il si puissant tout en masquant sa présence même ? Pour répondre à cette question, Sharon Patricia Holland entre dans le territoire de l'érotique, comprenant la pratique du racisme comme constitutive de la pratique de l'être racial et du choix érotique. En mettant à nouveau l'accent sur le binaire noir/blanc, Holland revigore l'engagement critique avec la race et le racisme. Elle soutient que ce n'est qu'en mettant en dialogue la théorie critique de la race, la théorie queer et la pensée féministe noire que nous pouvons pleinement envisager la relation entre le racisme et les dimensions personnelles et politiques de notre désir. La vie érotique du racisme redirige de manière provocante notre attention vers un désir qui n'est plus indépendant du racisme mais plutôt intégré à celui-ci.

Beyond Gratification:The Benefits of Pornography and the Demedicalization of Female Sexuality - Jeneanne Orlowski (The Modern American, 2012)
This Paper argues that non-obscene adult pornography should remain protected by the United States Constitution because it has contributed to the demedicalization of female sexuality. There is an ongoing debate among feminists regarding the value of pornography and whether it should be protected under the First Amendment. This Paper explains the background of the debate regarding the status of pornography as a form of speech and whether it has value that warrants its protection. Specifically, this Paper focuses on the removal of nymphomania from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and its absence as a modern medical diagnosis as an example of the demedicalization of female sexuality. The demedicalization of female sexuality has positively affected women in the United States. Catalysts for this demedicalization include the production and consumption of adult pornography by women. For this reason, adult pornography deserves continued protection as a form of free speech under the First Amendment.

Seeing differently: A history and theory of identification and the visual arts - Jones, Amelia (Routledge, 2012)
Voir différemment propose une histoire et une théorie des idées sur l'identité en relation avec les discours et les pratiques des arts visuels dans la culture euro-américaine, depuis les premières croyances modernes selon lesquelles l'art est l'expression d'un individu, l'image peinte une « image du monde » exprimant une vision globale et point de vue cohérent, à la montée des politiques identitaires après la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le monde de l'art et au-delà. Le livre est à la fois une histoire de ces idées (par exemple, retraçant la domination d'un modèle binaire de soi et de l'autre de Hegel à travers la politique identitaire classique des années 1970) et une réponse politique à la revendication commune dans l'art et le discours politique populaire que nous sommes " au-delà » ou « post- » identité. En contestant cette dernière affirmation, Seeing Differently examine de manière critique comment et pourquoi nous « identifions » les œuvres d'art avec une subjectivité expressive, notant l'impossibilité de prétendre que nous sommes une « post-identité » étant donné la persistance des croyances dans le discours artistique et la culture visuelle plus large sur qui « est » le sujet et propose une nouvelle théorie sur la manière de penser ce type d'identification de manière plus réfléchie et autoréflexive. En fin de compte, Seeing Differently propose un mode de pensée de l'identification en tant que processus de « durée féministe queer » qui ne peut jamais être entièrement résolu, mais doit être pris en compte dans la réflexion sur l'art et la culture visuelle. La duréenalité féministe queer est un mode d'interprétation relationnelle qui affecte à la fois «l'art» et «l'interprète», nous rendant potentiellement plus conscients de la façon dont nous évaluons et valorisons l'art et d'autres types de culture visuelle.

Anti-porn: the resurgence of anti-pornography feminism - Long, Julia (Zed Books, 2012)
"Anti-porn feminism is back. Countering the ongoing 'pornification' of Western culture and society, with lads' mags on the middle shelf and lap-dancing clubs in residential areas, anti-porn movements are re-emerging among a new generation of feminist activists worldwide. This essential new guide to the problems with porn starts with a history of modern pro and anti political stances before examining the ways in which the new arguments and campaigns around pornography are articulated, deployed and received. Drawing on original ethnographic research, it provides an in-depth analysis of the groups campaigning against the pornography industry today, as well as some eye-opening facts about the damage porn can do to women and society as a whole. This unique and inspiring book explains the powerful comeback of anti-porn feminism, and it controversially challenges liberal perspectives and the mainstreaming of a porn culture that threatens to change the very nature of our intimate relationships"--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Sex and disability - McRuer, Robert; Mollow, Anna (Duke University Press, 2012)
The title of this collection of essays, Sex and Disability, unites two terms that the popular imagination often regards as incongruous. The major texts in sexuality studies, including queer theory, rarely mention disability, and foundational texts in disability studies do not discuss sex in much detail. What if'sex'and'disability'were understood as intimately related concepts? And what if disabled people were seen as both subjects and objects of a range of erotic desires and practices? These are among the questions that this collection's contributors engage. From multiple perspectives—including literary analysis, ethnography, and autobiography—they consider how sex and disability come together and how disabled people negotiate sex and sexual identities in ableist and heteronormative culture. Queering disability studies, while also expanding the purview of queer and sexuality studies, these essays shake up notions about who and what is sexy and sexualizable, what counts as sex, and what desire is. At the same time, they challenge conceptions of disability in the dominant culture, queer studies, and disability studies.Contributors. Chris Bell, Michael Davidson, Lennard J.

Dude, you're a fag: masculinity and sexuality in high school : with a new preface - Pascoe, C. J. (University of California Press, 2012)
"High school and the difficult terrain of sexuality and gender identity are brilliantly explored in this smart, incisive ethnography. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork in a racially diverse working-class high school, Dude, You're a Fag sheds new light on masculinity both as a field of meaning and as a set of social practices. C.J. Pascoe's unorthodox approach analyzes masculinity as not only a gendered process but also a sexual one. She demonstrates how the 'specter of the fag' becomes a disciplinary mechanism for regulating heterosexual as well as homosexual boys and how the 'fag discourse' is as much tied to gender as it is to sexuality"--Provided by publisher.

Relational Knowing and Epistemic Injustice: Toward a Theory of Willful Hermeneutical Ignorance - Pohlhaus, Gaile (Hypatia, 2012)
I distinguish between two senses in which feminists have argued that the knower is social: 1. situated or socially positioned and 2. interdependent. I argue that these two aspects of the knower work in cooperation with each other in a way that can produce willful hermeneutical ignorance, a type of epistemic injustice absent from Miranda Fricker's Epistemic Injustice. Analyzing the limitations of Fricker's analysis of the trial of Tom Robinson in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird with attention to the way in which situatedness and interdependence work in tandem, I develop an understanding of willful hermeneutical ignorance, which occurs when dominantly situated knowers refuse to acknowledge epistemic tools developed from the experienced world of those situated marginally. Such refusals allow dominantly situated knowers to misunderstand, misinterpret, and/or ignore whole parts of the world.

Tracking Epistemic Violence, Tracking Practices of Silencing - Dotson, Kristie (Hypatia, 2011)
oo often, identifying practices of silencing is a seemingly impossible exercise. Here I claim that attempting to give a conceptual reading of the epistemic violence present when silencing occurs can help distinguish the different ways members of oppressed groups are silenced with respect to testimony. I offer an account of epistemic violence as the failure, owing to pernicious ignorance, of hearers to meet the vulnerabilities of speakers in linguistic exchanges. Ultimately, I illustrate that by focusing on the ways in which hearers fail to meet speaker dependency in a linguistic exchange, efforts can be made to demarcate the different types of silencing people face when attempting to testify from oppressed positions in society.

The queer art of failure - Halberstam, Jack (J.) (Duke University Press., 2011)
The Queer Art of Failure is about finding alternatives—to conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society; to academic disciplines that confirm what is already known according to approved methods of knowing; and to cultural criticism that claims to break new ground but cleaves to conventional archives. Jack Halberstam proposes “low theory” as a mode of thinking and writing that operates at many different levels at once. Low theory is derived from eccentric archives. It runs the risk of not being taken seriously. It entails a willingness to fail and to lose one’s way, to pursue difficult questions about complicity, and to find counterintuitive forms of resistance. Tacking back and forth between high theory and low theory, high culture and low culture, Halberstam looks for the unexpected and subversive in popular culture, avant-garde performance, and queer art. Halberstam pays particular attention to animated children’s films, revealing narratives filled with unexpected encounters between the childish, the transformative, and the queer. Failure sometimes offers more creative, cooperative, and surprising ways of being in the world, even as it forces us to face the dark side of life, love, and libido.

"Deveiling" Body Stories: Muslim Girls Negotiate Visual, Spatial, and Ethical "Hijabs" - Hamzeh, Manal (Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2011)
This article describes a collaborative research project that took place in two south‐western US border towns and sought to understand how four muslim Footnote 1 girls (age 14–17) expressed and negotiated their bodily learning experiences. Drawing on both the work of arab–muslim critical feminist Fatima Mernissi who utilized classical Islamic tools of research and my positionalities as arabyyah‐muslimah, I used insider’s methods to discuss how three hijabs (veils) – the visual, spatial, and ethical – acted as a central genderizing discourse that challenged the girls’ learning opportunities. This article shows how the girls’ parents enforced these three hijabs; how the girls questioned and deveiled the hijabs in their dress, mobility in public places, and physical behavior around boys. This inquiry is a call for critical feminist researchers and educators to recognize how these three hijabs form a key genderizing discourse in the lives of muslim girls. It also presents the importance of: (1) working with muslim girls as agents in their own lives; (2) critical engagement with difference between researchers/educators and muslim communities; and (3) practicing a critically reflexive pedagogy of deveiling.

The Intersex Enchiridion: Naming and Knowledge - Holmes, Morgan (Somatechnics, 2011)
The 2006 Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrinology Society (LWPES) consensus to alter clinical language from ‘intersex’ to Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) has not met its stated objective of destigmatizing the ‘intersex’ label. Rather, DSD works to paper over a problematic understanding of morphological variation as disease. This article interrogates the development of DSD terminology in the clinical context of treating intersex and argues that ‘DSD’ reinstitutionalises clinical power to delineate and silence those marked by the diagnosis; that this silencing is precisely the point of the new terminology; and that it is against that retrenchant impulse that we must protect the viability of ‘intersex’ by continuing its critical deployment. This paper is based on an application of embodiment studies models of critique, combined with an orientation grounded in queer theory to critically interrogate the development of both DSD language and of the ‘new’ guidelines for clinical use, and of the Handbook for Parents that were developed out of the 2006 LWPES meetings. Some of my critique is based on work done over an 18-year period with adults who created the contemporary intersex movement, and on my previous research (in particular: Holmes 2002, 2008, 2010). The point of the argument is not to determine which diagnostic language is superior, but to retain the hard-won right to secure for ourselves the ability to operate socially without the stamp of ‘disorder’ or ‘disease’ strictly delineating what counts as ‘truth’ with regard to embodiment. In this sense, the argument applies to and is drawn out of a larger disability scholarship and activism framework that refuses to permit medicine the final voice in defining our bodies and our selves. The title refers to an older handbook, the enchiridion as a gesture toward the need to retain fundamental knowledge of self that intersexed persons can trace back to a more flexible understanding of embodied differences than the language of disorder asserts in the new Handbook for Parents.

Honor killings in the Middle East and North Africa: a systematic review of the literature - Kulczycki, Andrzej; Windle, Sarah (Violence against women, 2011)
A systematic review of the research literature on honor killings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) indicates a paucity of studies relative to the presumed magnitude of the problem. Forty articles were reviewed and critically appraised, of which only 9 contained primary data and 11 presented original secondary analyses. Despite a recent increase in published studies, persistent methodological limitations restrict the generalizability of findings. Most studies focus on legal aspects, determinants, and characteristics of victims and perpetrators. Victims are mostly young females murdered by their male kin. Unambiguous evidence of a decline in tolerance of honor killings remains elusive.

Ogimah Ikwe: Native Women and Their Path to Leadership - Lajimodiere, Denise K. (Wicazo Sa Review, 2011)
Much documentation gathered on Native American women's activities originated in the journals of European male missionaries and explorers. These first visitors observed Native societies through the eyes of their own culture, a culture in which male activities were the only happenings of note. 1 This bias led to indirect and distorted descriptions of Native American women's activities and beliefs. 2 Scholars who study Native American women today have made significant inroads into their histories; however, many interpretations remain incorrect and undeveloped. Devon Mihesuah states, "Because many authors write from a patriarchal or white feminist perspective, the value of Indian women is vastly underrated." 3 Gretchen Bataille and Kathleen Sands address this shortcoming, saying, "The portrayal of American Indian women in North America over the last four centuries offers an uneven body of documentary evidence about the lives of Native women as individuals and members of their group." This study's purpose is to increase the visibility of Native American women in leadership roles by recording the voices and histories of nine Native American women leaders. It focuses on the experiences, perceptions, and beliefs of the women interviewed, giving a voice to nine of today's Native American female leaders, nine Ogimah Ikwe (leader women).

Law Reform, Lesbian Parenting, and the Reflective Claim - Leckey, Robert (Social & Legal Studies, 2011)
The article aims to complicate efforts to make law fit or catch up to social practices. It scrutinizes the ‘reflective claim’ using the case study of recognition of parenting by lesbian couples. Reforms in the United Kingdom’s Human Embryology and Fertilisation Act 2008 and the Canadian province of Quebec’s civil code are compared with empirical work from the social sciences on lesbians’ family practices. The reflective claim rests on problematic ideas about social practices and law. Since law is always blunt and incomplete, choices must be made as to which practices it should aim to recognize. Furthermore, the impact of heterosexist and homophobic conditions on lesbian families means that observable practices may not be a suitable model for gay-affirmative reforms. As advanced in the literature, the reflective claim overlooks law and society’s complex interaction, including how reform will not merely reflect but also alter practices. It fails to do justice to law reform’s normative character, obscuring its costs and positive potential

The Relevance of Credibility Excess in a Proportional View of Epistemic Injustice: Differential Epistemic Authority and the Social Imaginary - Medina, José (Social Epistemology, 2011)
This paper defends a contextualist approach to epistemic injustice according to which instances of such injustice should be looked at as temporally extended phenomena (having developmental and historical trajectories) and socially extended phenomena (being rooted in patterns of social relations). Within this contextualist framework, credibility excesses appear as a form of undeserved epistemic privilege that is crucially relevant for matters of testimonial justice. While drawing on Miranda Fricker's proportional view of epistemic justice, I take issue with its lack of attention to the role that credibility excesses play in testimonial injustices. I depart from Fricker's view of the relation between credibility excesses and credibility deficits, and I offer an alternative account of the contributions that undeserved epistemic privileges make to epistemic injustices. Then, through the detailed analysis of To kill a mockingbird, I elucidate the crucial role played by the social imaginary in creating and sustaining epistemic injustices, developing an analysis of the kind of social blindness produced by an oppressive social imaginary that establishes unjust patterns of credibility excesses and deficits.

Changing the framework: Disability justice - Mingus, Mia (Leaving Evidence, 2011)
Pendant mon travail de justice sociale, j'ai découvert que le handicap est quelque chose que la plupart des gens connaissent très peu - et cela inclut des organisateurs et des militants communautaires chevronnés, féroces et très respectés. Les gens considèrent généralement le handicap comme un défaut ou un problème individuel, plutôt que comme quelque chose en partie créé par le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Il est rare que les gens pensent au handicap comme une expérience politique ou comme englobant une communauté pleine d'histoires, de cultures et d'héritages riches. .

BLOOD UNDER THE BRIDGE: REFLECTIONS ON “THINKING SEX” - Rubin, Gayle (GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 2011)
This article reflects on the intellectual and political circumstances of the publication of Gayle Rubin's 1984 essay “Thinking Sex: Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality.” In particular, the article considers the context of the feminist “sex wars” of the late 1970s and early 1980s, offering a detailed account of several of the period's key events, publications, and debates. The article also reflects on the relation between this moment in the history of feminism and the history of GLBT and queer scholarship over the past several decades.

Miss representation - Siebel Newsom, Jennifer; Dietrich, Claire; Costanzo, Julie; Congdon, Jessica; Roco Films Educational (Firme); Girls Club Entertainment (Girls Club Entertainment, 2011)
Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, MISS REPRESENTATION uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. While women have made great strides in leadership over the past few decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for women in national legislatures, women hold only 3% of clout positions in mainstream media, and 65% of women and girls have disordered eating behaviors.

Dancing on our turtle's back: Stories of Nishnaabeg re-creation, resurgence, and a new emergence - Simpson, Leanne (ARP Books, 2011)
Many promote Reconciliation as a "new" way for Canada to relate to Indigenous Peoples. In Dancing on Our Turtle's Back: Stories of Nishnaabeg Re-Creation, Resurgence, and a New Emergence activist, editor, and educator Leanne Simpson asserts reconciliation must be grounded in political resurgence and must support the regeneration of Indigenous languages, oral cultures, and traditions of governance. Simpson explores philosophies and pathways of regeneration, resurgence, and a new emergence through the Nishnaabeg language, Creation Stories, walks with Elders and children, celebrations and protests, and meditations on these experiences. She stresses the importance of illuminating Indigenous intellectual traditions to transform their relationship to the Canadian state. Challenging and original, Dancing on Our Turtle's Back provides a valuable new perspective on the struggles of Indigenous Peoples.

Sustainable development, water resources management and women's empowerment: The Wanaraniya water project in Sri Lanka - Aladuwaka S.; Momsen J. (Gender and Development, 2010)
Water is one of the most important natural resources, and its effective management is essential given its scarcity. In rural Sri Lanka, the management of available water resources needs special attention because investment for water resource improvement is hard to obtain, and water itself is relatively scarce in the drier areas of the country. The Wanaraniya Water Project pipes water 6.5km from its source to individual houses in the village, saving women daily time and effort. The project is founded on commitments to community participation and the adoption of local knowledge. It was initiated by women, and has been operated and managed by them for the last six years. This study argues that the project can serve as a model for better planning of water management, and focuses on the unique strategies and innovative methods that have been used. In particular, it shows the impact of involvement in the project on women’s empowerment. The implementation of the project has helped women to improve their leadership qualities, confidence, self-reliance, and gain more power in the community through their successful establishment of a village water supply.

Reading the body: the rhetoric of sex, identity and discipline in girls' education - Charania, Munira Moon (International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 2010)
This essay focuses on key contemporary rhetoric, discourse, and practice directly speaking to or about adolescent girls. Using ethnographic work done at a southeastern all-girls' school, I examine the adolescent female body as a palimpsest, a rich and dense text subjected to and shaped by public rhetoric and pedagogical practice. I suggest that the identity of girl is made and remade by public rhetoric and pedagogic practice, always with various silences and elisions, always with shapes and disfigurements tolerated, so that the very texture of this identity, the adolescent female body, becomes a palimpsestic landscape, on which the original 'girl' is sought and modern versions are interpreted. I consider how public discourses on girls and girls' bodies are significant in the production of girls' identities, practices surrounding the empowerment and education of girls, and the very debates that centralize the adolescent female body as one in need of protection and surveillance.

Queer Diagnoses: Parallels and Contrasts in the History of Homosexuality, Gender Variance, and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Drescher, Jack (Archives of Sexual Behavior : The Official Publication of the International Academy of Sex Research, 2010)
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is in the process of revising its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), with the DSM-V having an anticipated publication date of 2012. As part of that ongoing process, in May 2008, APA announced its appointment of the Work Group on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders (WGSGID). The announcement generated a flurry of concerned and anxious responses in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, mostly focused on the status of the diagnostic categories of Gender Identity Disorder (GID) (for both children and adolescents and adults). Activists argued, as in the case of homosexuality in the 1970s, that it is wrong to label expressions of gender variance as symptoms of a mental disorder and that perpetuating DSM-IV-TR’s GID diagnoses in the DSM-V would further stigmatize and cause harm to transgender individuals. Other advocates in the trans community expressed concern that deleting GID would lead to denying medical and surgical care for transgender adults. This review explores how criticisms of the existing GID diagnoses parallel and contrast with earlier historical events that led APA to remove homosexuality from the DSM in 1973. It begins with a brief introduction to binary formulations that lead not only to linkages of sexual orientation and gender identity, but also to scientific and clinical etiological theories that implicitly moralize about matters of sexuality and gender. Next is a review of the history of how homosexuality came to be removed from the DSM-II in 1973 and how, not long thereafter, the GID diagnoses found their way into DSM-III in 1980. Similarities and differences in the relationships of homosexuality and gender identity to psychiatric and medical thinking are elucidated. Following a discussion of these issues, the author recommends changes in the DSM-V and some internal and public actions that the American Psychiatric Association should take.

Teaching critical thinking: Practical wisdom - hooks, bell (Routledge, 2010)
Dans une série d'essais courts, accessibles et éclairants, hooks explore les sujets déroutants et parfois controversés que les enseignants et les élèves l'ont invitée à aborder depuis la publication des précédents volumes à succès de sa série Teaching, Teaching to Transgress et Teaching Community . . Les questions sont variées et vastes, allant de la question de savoir si un enseignement significatif peut avoir lieu dans une grande salle de classe à la confrontation des problèmes d'estime de soi. Un professeur, par exemple, a demandé comment les professeures noires peuvent maintenir une autorité positive dans une salle de classe sans être vues à travers le prisme de stéréotypes racistes et sexistes négatifs. Un enseignant a demandé comment gérer les larmes en classe, tandis qu'un autre voulait savoir comment utiliser l'humour comme outil d'apprentissage. Abordant les questions de race, de sexe et de classe dans ce travail, hooks discute de l'équilibre complexe qui nous permet d'enseigner, de valoriser et d'apprendre des œuvres écrites par des auteurs racistes et sexistes. Soulignant l'importance de la lecture, elle insiste sur la primauté de la liberté d'expression, une éducation démocratique de l'alphabétisation. Tout au long de ces essais, elle célèbre le pouvoir transformateur de la pensée critique. C'est un travail intellectuel provocateur, puissant et joyeux. C'est une lecture incontournable pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'éducation aujourd'hui.

Realizing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: triumph, hope, and action - Joffe, Paul; Hartley, Jackie; Preston, Jennifer (Purich Pub., 2010)
Adopted by the UN General Assembly on 13 September 2007, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirms the “minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of the indigenous peoples of the world.” The Declaration responds to past and ongoing injustices suffered by Indigenous peoples worldwide. It provides a strong foundation for improved relationships with states, and for the full recognition of the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. Despite this, Canada was one of the few countries to oppose the Declaration. The contributors to this collection analyze the development of the Declaration, recall the triumph of its adoption, and illustrate the hopes and actions for its implementation. The discussion moves beyond Canadian borders to the international stage, providing accessible information and guidance on the Declaration and how it can be used to advance human rights. Policy makers, Indigenous communities, politicians, academics, lawyers, human rights advocates, NGOs, and anyone interested in the significance of the Declaration will find this to be a valuable resource. Contributors include Indigenous leaders, legal scholars and practitioners, state representatives, and representatives from NGOs, with extensive knowledge of and experience in Indigenous peoples’ human rights law, policy, and practice.

The feminism and visual culture reader - Jones, Amelia (Routledge, 2010)
Feminism is one of the most important perspectives from which visual culture has been theorized and historicized over the past forty years. Challenging the notion of feminism as a unified discourse, this second edition of The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader assembles a wide array of writings that address art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective. The essays, 40% of which are new to the second edition, are informed by the authors’ deep attention to historical, geographical, and disciplinary contexts as well as by cutting edge concerns such as globalization, diasporic cultural shifts, developments in new media technologies, and intersectional identity politics. The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader combines classic texts with six specially commissioned pieces, all by leading feminist critics, historians, theorists, artists, and activists. Articles are grouped into thematic sections, each of which is introduced by the editor. Providing a framework within which to understand the shifts in feminist thinking in visual studies, as well as an overview of major feminist theories of the visual, this reader also explores how issues of race, class, nationality, and sexuality enter into debates about feminism in the field of the visual

Brain storm: The flaws in the science of sex differences - Jordan-Young, Rebecca M. (Harvard University Press, 2010)
Jordan-Young has written a stunning book that demolishes most of the science associated with the dominant paradigm of the development of sex and gender identity, behavior, and orientation. The current paradigm, brain organization theory, proposes: "Because of early exposure to different sex hormones, males and females have different brains"; and these hormones also create "gay" and "straight" brains. Jordan-Young interviewed virtually every major researcher in the field and reviewed hundreds of published scientific papers. Her conclusion: "Brain organization theory is little more than an elaboration of longstanding folk tales about antagonistic male and female essences and how they connect to antagonistic male and female natures." She explains, in exquisite detail, the flaws in the underlying science, from experimental designs that make no statistical sense to "conceptually sloppy" definitions of male and female sexuality, contradictory results, and the social construction of normality. Her conclusion that the patterns we see are far more complicated than previously believed and due to a wider range of variables will shake up the research community and alter public perception.

"Mascia-Lees'... ability to synthesize ideas rewards readers wih a text that clearly conceptualizes how differences of gender, race, class, and sexuality structure today's complex globalizing world. It exposes the strengths and weaknesses of different theoretical orientations used in anthropology to study gender, difference, power, and inequality including feminist anthropology; black feminist anthropology; lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered theory; practice, postcolonial, symbolic, and psychological anthropology; as well as social evolutionism, sociobiology, and evolutionary pscyhology, among others"

Intimate Justice: A Critical Analysis of Sexual Satisfaction - McClelland, Sara I. (Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 2010)
This article elaborates an intimate justice framework to help guide research on sexual satisfaction. Using a critical historiography approach, I examine the etiology and development of the psychological construct of “satisfaction” over the last century and argue that social and political antecedents to satisfaction ratings are an essential and under-theorized aspect of research in this field. By examining what are considered to be the most influential definitions in life satisfaction research, I identify conceptual gaps, oversights, and disagreements that characterize this body of work, and specifically its theoretical treatment of inequity. Moving to the intimate domain, I argue that the field of sexual satisfaction must include theories and methods that systematically consider the role of social and sexual stigmas as antecedents to sexual satisfaction ratings. In the conclusion, building from existing social justice theories, I propose an intimate justice framework as a means to guide research that can highlight issues of entitlement and deservingness in sexual satisfaction research. This is particularly important as sexual satisfaction is increasingly used as an indicator of individual and relational well-being; however, this construct is presently limited and inadequately measured for women and men who experience limited sexual rights in the socio-political domain because of their gender and/or sexual minority status.

Ethnic, Gender, and Acculturation Influences on Sexual Behaviors - Meston, Cindy M.; Ahrold, Tierney (Archives of Sexual Behavior : The Official Publication of the International Academy of Sex Research, 2010)
Much research has been conducted on ethnic differences in sexuality, but few studies have systematically assessed the importance of acculturation in sexual behavior. The present study assessed general differences in normative sexual practices in healthy Euro-American, Asian, and Hispanic populations, using measures of acculturation to analyze the relative effects of heritage and mainstream cultures within each group. A total of 1,419 undergraduates (67% Euro-American, 17% Hispanic, 16% Asian; 33% men, 67% women) completed questionnaires which assessed sexual experience and causal sexual behaviors. In concordance with previous studies, Asians reported more conservative levels of sexual experience and frequency of sexual behaviors, fewer lifetime partners, and later ages of sexual debut than Euro-American or Hispanic counterparts. Hispanic reported sexual experiences similar to that of Euro-Americans. There was a significant interaction between mainstream and heritage acculturation in predicting number of lifetime sexual partners in Asian women such that the relationship between heritage acculturation and casual sexual behavior was stronger at lower levels of mainstream acculturation. On the other hand, in Hispanic men, higher levels of mainstream acculturation predicted more casual sexual behavior (one-time sexual encounters and number of lifetime sexual partners) when heritage acculturation was low but less casual sexual behavior when heritage acculturation was high. These results suggest that, for sexual behavior, Hispanic men follow an “ethnogenesis” model of acculturation while Asian women follow an “assimilation” model of acculturation.

Young Muslim women on the face veil (niqab): A tool of resistance in Europe but rejected in the United States - Shirazi, Faegheh; Mishra, Smeeta (International Journal of Cultural Studies, 2010)
In order to understand Muslim women’s views on veiling in the West, one must take into account historical and socio-political factors such as a country’s colonial/national history, the nature of its immigration regime, the demographic composition of immigrant groups, and how the nation operationalizes concepts such as secularism and citizenship. While academic literature and media reports on young Muslim women in Europe indicate that wearing the niqab or face veil is often viewed as an act of rebellion or a form of personal/political/religious identity, our in-depth interviews of young Muslim women in the United States reveal a different story. While half the participants in this study wore a headscarf or hijab, not one of them said they were interested in wearing the niqab. Instead, they believed the niqab was unnecessary in the American context. However, an overwhelming majority upheld the right of a woman to wear a niqab if she wanted to do so. Two American Muslim women narrated why they gave up wearing the niqab after wearing it for a short time.

Queer Theory and Native Studies: The Heteronormativity of Settler Colonialism - Smith, A. (GLQ -NEW YORK-, 2010)
Queer studies highlights the importance of developing analyses that go beyond identity and representational politics. For Native studies in particular, queer theory points to the possibility of going beyond representing the voices of Native peoples, a project that can quickly become co-opted into providing Native commodities for consumption in the multicultural academic-industrial complex. The subjectless critique of queer theory can assist Native studies in critically interrogating how it could unwittingly re-create colonial hierarchies even within projects of decolonization. This critique also sheds light on how Native peoples function within the colonial imaginary-including the colonial imaginary of scholars and movements that claim to be radical. At the same time, Native studies can build on queer of color critique's engagement with subjectless critique. In the move to go "postidentity," queer theory often reinstantiates a white supremacist, settler colonialism by disappearing the indigenous peoples colonized in this land who become the foils for the emergence of postcolonial, postmodern, diasporic, and queer subjects. With respect to Native studies, even queer of color critique does not necessarily mark how identities are shaped by settler colonialism. Thus a conversation between Native studies and queer theory is important, because the logics of settler colonialism and decolonization must be queered in order to properly speak to the genocidal present that not only continues to disappear indigenous peoples but reinforces the structures of white supremacy, settler colonialism, and heteropatriarchy that affect all peoples.

Indigenous women and feminism: politics, activism, culture - Suzack, Cheryl; Huhndorf, Shari M.; Perreault, Jeanne; Barman, Jean (Women and indigenous studies series, 2010)
"Can the specific concerns of Indigenous women be addressed within current mainstream feminist and post-colonial discussions? Indigenous Women and Feminism: Politics, Activism, Culture proposes that a dynamic new line of inquiry -- Indigenous feminism -- is necessary to truly engage with the crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, and decolonization particular to Indigenous contexts. Through the lenses of politics, activism, and culture, this wide-ranging collection examines the historical roles of Indigenous women, their intellectual and activist work, and the relevance of contemporary literature, art, and performance for an emerging Indigenous feminist project. The questions at the heart of these essays -- What is at stake in conceptualizing Indigenous feminism? How does feminism relate to Indigenous claims to land and sovereignty? What lessons can we learn from the past? How do Indigenous women engage ongoing violence and social and political marginalization? -- cross disciplinary, national, academic, and activist boundaries to explore in depth the unique political and social positions of Indigenous women."--Page 4 de la couverture."A vital and sophisticated discussion that will change the way we think about modern feminism, Indigenous Women and Feminism will be invaluable to scholars, activists, artists, community organizers, and those concerned with Indigenous and feminist issues at home and abroad."-- Résumé de l'éditeur.

Mad, bad and sad: A history of women and the mind doctors - Appignanesi, Lisa (W.W. Norton & Company, 2009)
De la dépression subie par Virginia Woolf et Sylvia Plath à l'angoisse mentale et aux dépendances des beautés emblématiques Zelda Fitzgerald et Marilyn Monroe. De Théroigne de Méricourt, Furie de la Gironde, qui descendit des triomphes sanglants de la Révolution française à la folie indomptable dans l'asile de La Salpêtrière, à Mary Lamb, sœur de Charles, qui, en pleine dépression nerveuse, se retourna contre sa mère avec un couteau de cuisine. De Freud et Jung à Lacan et les nouvelles thérapies centrées sur les femmes. C'est l'histoire de la façon dont nous avons compris les états d'esprit extrêmes au cours des deux cents dernières années et comment nous les concevons aujourd'hui, alors que de plus en plus de notre vie intérieure et de nos émotions sont devenues une affaire de médecins et de thérapeutes. Voici aussi l'histoire des professions qui se sont développées pour offrir des soins, comment, au fil des ans, les symptômes et les diagnostics se sont développés ensemble pour créer des modes dans la maladie et comment les traitements ont réussi ou parfois échoué, même lorsque les soignants étaient également des femmes. "Mad, Bad and Sad" nous emmène dans un voyage fascinant à travers l'esprit humain fragile et extraordinaire.

Developing partnerships: gender, sexuality, and the reformed World Bank - Bedford, Kate (University of Minnesota Press, 2009)
"A nuanced critique of how the World Bank encourages gender norms through its policies, Developing Partnerships argues that financial institutions are key players in the global enforcement of gender and family expectations.By combining analysis of documents produced and sponsored by the World Bank with interviews of World Bank staffers and case studies, Kate Bedford presents a detailed examination of gender and sexuality in the policies of the world's largest and most influential development institution. Looking concurrently at economic and gender policy, Bedford connects reform of markets to reform of masculinities, loan agreements for export promotion to pamphlets for indigenous adolescents advising daily genital bathing, and attempts to strengthen institutions after the Washington Consensus to efforts to promote loving couplehood in response to economic crisis. In doing so, she reveals the shifting relationships between development and sexuality and the ways in which gender policy impacts debates about the future of neoliberalism.Providing a multilayered account of how gender-aware policies are conceived and implemented by the World Bank, Developing Partnerships demonstrates as well how institutional practices shape development."-- Site de l'éditeur.

Sexuality and the Dimensions of Power - Brickell, Chris (Sexuality & Culture : An Interdisciplinary Quarterly, 2009)
Power, many scholars agree, is intrinsic to the relationships between sexuality, individual experience and social dynamics. Beyond this basic agreement, though, writers and researchers have adopted different foci. This article critically reviews several approaches to the power-sex relationship, and suggests that four readily discernable but interlaced dimensions of power operate upon the sexual: definitional, regulatory, productive and unequal. As a number of examples from the literature show, these ideal typical forms twist and interweave in both theory and practice. I suggest that to be mindful of all four facets of power and their interrelationships is to account for multiplicity, and to avoid the reductive characterizations that have sometimes characterized academic writings on power and sexuality. In this way, both theory and research in the area of human sexuality can be more thoroughly conceptualized.

What Can Queer Theory Do for Intersex? - Morland, Iain (GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 2009)
In this essay I explore how queer theory might account for postsurgical intersex bodies of diminished genital tactility. In other words, I evaluate whether a critique of surgery’s effects is possible from a queer theoretical perspective on the body. I contend that for this purpose queer theory must do more than focus on bodily sensations such as pleasure, shame, and touching. The essay makes four key claims: first, that the desensitized postsurgical body cannot be accounted for by a queer discourse in which sexual pleasure is a form of hedonistic activism; second, that a queer discourse of shame enables a degree of critical engagement with the surgical creation of atypically sensate bodies; third, that pleasure and shame are both queer sensations, and queer theory’s assumption of a sensorial basis to cultural critique, which is exemplified by the queer touch, flounders when confronted with the desensitized intersex body; fourth, that if queer theory is figured as a kind of reaching—but not necessarily touching—then it can be of greater use in accounting for the problematic yet ambivalent effects of intersex surgery.

In Post-Queer Politics, Ruffolo looks at the work of Foucault, Butler, Bakhtin, Deleuze, Guattari and others in his creative refocus on the queer/heteronormative dyad that has largely consumed queer studies and contemporary politics. His radical and intersectional new way of thinking will appeal to readers across a range of subjects, including gender and sexuality studies, philosophy, cultural studies, political science and education.

The Role of Gender and Ethnicity in Perceptions of Rape and Its Aftereffects - Schneider, Lawrence J.; Mori, Lisa T.; Lambert, Paul L.; Wong, Anna O. (Sex Roles : A Journal of Research, 2009)
Caucasian-, Hispanic-, and Asian-American male and female students (n = 764) attending a California (USA) public university reported their perceptions of sexual assault. After reading a rape vignette, participants gave their impressions of the victim; estimated time needed for recovery and treatment; and recommended a sentence for the assailant. Half of the sample received information regarding state sentencing guidelines. Relative to female participants, males perceived the victim as more responsible. Caucasian-American males had stronger reservation about the victim’s judgment. Males were less inclined to assign blame than were females. Ethnicity was the only factor influencing perceptions of recovery. Ethnicity and sentencing guidelines, but not gender, impacted imprisonment decisions. Issues impeding a unified theoretical understanding of perceptions of rape victims were considered.

Mental illness as social product or social construct: a contradiction in feminists’ arguments? - Busfield, Joan (Sociology of Health & Illness, 2008)
Feminists have been taken to task for suggesting both that the higher level of mental illness observed in women is a consequence of the oppression they face - an oppression which drives them into madness and mental disorder - and also that the concept of mental illness is a social construct inappropriately and incorrectly applied to women by a patriarchal order as a means of social control. This paper examines this supposed contradiction and the ideas that underly the contrasting contentions. It argues that the two positions are not in fact incompatible.

Sexual Attitudes and Double Standards: A Literature Review Focusing on Participant Gender and Ethnic Background - Fugère, Madeleine A.; Escoto, Carlos; Cousins, Alita J.; Riggs, Matt L.; Haerich, Paul (Sexuality & Culture : An Interdisciplinary Quarterly, 2008)
We conducted a review of literature regarding sexual attitudes and double standards, focusing on participant gender and ethnic background. We found that men had more permissive sexual attitudes than women, and that African Americans had the most permissive sexual attitudes, followed by White Americans, then by Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. The literature regarding sexual double standards was mixed; some studies showed evidence of continued sexual double standards and some studies showed the absence of sexual double standards. In some studies, men were more likely to endorse the sexual double standard than women. We found only one article addressing sexual double standards using ethnic background as a quasi-independent variable; this research revealed that non-North American (Russian and Japanese) samples were more likely to endorse the traditional double standard, that sex is more acceptable for men than for women.

Mind the Gaps: Intersex and (Re-productive) Spaces in Disability Studies and Bioethics - Holmes, M. Morgan (Journal of Bioethical Inquiry, 2008)
With a few notable exceptions disability studies has not taken account of intersexuality, and it is principally through the lenses of feminist and queer-theory oriented ethical discussions but not through ‘straight’ bioethics that modes valuing intersex difference have been proposed. Meanwhile, the medical presupposition that intersex characteristics are inherently disabling to social viability remains the taken-for-granted truth from which clinical practice proceeds. In this paper I argue against bioethical perspectives that justify extensive and invasive pre- and post-natal medical interference to eradicate intersex. I argue instead that to constitute the necessary conditions for the recognition of the intersexed child as a person, a life valid in its own right, clinicians must refrain from aggressive interference. Clinical specialists presuppose that intersexed children will be socially disabled and unrecognizable as persons; frustrated by the general failure of traditional interventions to assign a sex, clinicians are now pursuing prenatal technologies, including selective termination, to erase intersex.

Decoding Black Women: Policing Practices and Rape Prosecution on the Streets of Philadelphia - Irving, Toni (NWSA Journal, 2008)
Black women are generally displaced as victims of rape. The police response to the sexual assault of black women in general and lower-class black women in particular is illustrative of how sexual ideologies help construct complex social hierarchies that in turn structure rights. How the law currently deals with rape places black women outside of the narrative frames that legitimate entitlement. Rape continues to stand in for, and effectively obscure, other social, political, and economic concerns. Unpublished and often ignored, the rape narrative is a ripe site to supply oppositional interpretations of national experience and transmit some of the structural problems in the criminal justice system. Pulling from over two thousand “real” rape cases of low-income black women ignored and not investigated in Philadelphia between 1995 and 2000, this article reads black female rape narratives as case studies in order to discuss the way personal narratives of rape victims are structured by competing and overwhelming sociolegal narratives that undercut their reception. As the fastest growing prison population, the presence of the law to punish black women stands in stark contrast to the absence of the law to protect them.

Globalization as Racialized, Sexualized Violence THE CASE OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN - Kuokkanen, Rauna (International Feminist Journal of Politics, 2008)
In my article, I suggest that indigenous women are among the hardest hit by economic globalization – the expansion of markets, trade liberalization and cheapening of labour – and that globalization represents a multifaceted violence against indigenous women. I consider this with the help of two examples. First, I discuss the largely ignored case of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada and how the interlocking systems of oppression (colonization, patriarchy and capitalism) are further intensified by globalization. Second, I examine the death of a Hopi woman, Private Piestewa, in the context of militarization, history of colonization and globalization. I analyse these examples in an intersectional framework that reveals the links between colonization, patriarchy and capitalism all of which inform the current processes of globalization.

Critical geographies and the uses of sexuality: deconstructing queer space - Oswin, Natalie (Progress in Human Geography, 2008)
Scholarship on queer geographies has called attention to the active production of space as heterosexualized and has levelled powerful critiques at the implicit heterosexual bias of much geographical theorizing. As a result, critical geographers have begun to remark upon the resistance of gays, lesbians and other sexual subjects to a dominant heterosexuality. But such a liberal framework of oppression and resistance is precisely the sort of mapping that poststructuralist queer theory emerged to write against. So, rather than charting the progress of queer geographies, this article offers a critical reading of the deployment of the notion of `queer space' in geography and highlights an alternative queer approach that is inseparable from feminist, materialist, postcolonial and critical race theories.

Black atlantic, queer Atlantic: Queer imaginings of the middle passage - Tinsley, Omise'eke Natasha (GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 2008)
Qu'est-ce que cela signifierait pour les études queer et sur la diaspora africaine de théoriser que l'Atlantique noir a toujours été un Atlantique queer ? Quelle nouvelle géographie – ou mieux, océanographie – des identités sexuelles, genrées, transnationales et raciales pourrait émerger d'une lecture queer des dislocations transocéaniques entre l'Afrique et la Caraïbe ? Cet article examine la diaspora africaine canonique et les textes théoriques queer en dialogue avec des textes créatifs récemment publiés qui imaginent les relations queer entre les kidnappés africains dans les cales des navires négriers. Ces textes créatifs, selon moi, théorisent plus largement l'espace conceptuel à la fois pour repenser les histoires sexuelles et raciales submergées et pour commenter les intersections entre la diaspora africaine et les expériences queer à une époque contemporaine de réfugiés haïtiens, de travailleurs dominicains transnationaux, et des militants « homosexuels » antillais internationaux. Les textes examinés comprennent celui de Paul GilroyBlack Atlantic (1993), Gender Trouble de Judith Butler (1990), Erzulie's Skirt d'Ana-Maurine Lara (2006) et Map to the Door of No Return de Dionne Brand (2001).

Firekeepers of the twenty-first century: First Nations women chiefs - Voyageur, Cora Jane (McGill-Queen's Native and northern series, 2008)
A quiet revolution is occurring in Canada's First Nations communities, with changes taking place on social, political, and economic fronts and a significant redistribution of power. Changes to the Indian Act in 1951 paved the way for women to become officially involved in reserve politics, and with governments responding to the demand of First Nations for self-government, positions once held exclusively by men are now being filled by women. Beginning with Elsie Knott, the first female chief in Canada, Cora Voyageur presents the lives of sixty-four of the ninety women chiefs who have assumed the traditionally male role of elected First Nations leadership. Using a range of qualitative research strategies, surveys, participant observation, interviews, and discussions with focus groups, Voyageur presents the colonial histories behind the issues that contemporary Aboriginal communities struggle with and delineates the resulting leadership dilemmas for chiefs, while also articulating a story that is unique to First Nations women. Voyageur asks women chiefs about what inspired them to become leaders, how they've maintained their priorities, and the personal and professional costs and rewards involved in their positions. Firekeepers of the Twenty-First Century is a groundbreaking work that examines the experiences of women as they negotiate multiple roles and navigate the worlds of gender, race, and reserve politics.

WACK!: art and the feminist revolution - Butler, Cornelia H.; Mark, Lisa Gabrielle; Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles, Calif); Butler, Cornelia H.; Mark, Lisa Gabrielle; Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles, Calif) (Museum of Contemporary Art, 2007)
Groundbreaking art from a revolutionary era, featuring work by more than 120 international artists, from Louise Bourgeois and Yoko Ono to Martha Rosler, Marina Abramović, and Cindy Sherman. There had never been art like the art produced by women artists in the 1970s, and there has never been a book with the ambition and scope of this one about that groundbreaking era. WACK! documents and illustrates the impact of the feminist revolution on art made between 1965 and 1980, featuring pioneering and influential works by artists who came of age during that period, Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Valie Export, Mary Heilmann, Sanja Iveković, Ana Mendieta, Annette Messager, and others, as well as important works made in those years by artists whose careers were already well established, including Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Lucy Lippard, Alice Neel, and Yoko Ono. The art surveyed in WACK! includes work by more than 120 artists, in all media, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, installation, and video, arranged not by chronology but by theme: Abstraction, "Autophotography," Body as Medium, Family Stories, Gender Performance, Knowledge as Power, Making Art History, and others. WACK!, which accompanies the first international museum exhibition to showcase feminist art from this revolutionary era, contains more than 400 color images. Highlights include the figurative paintings of Joan Semmel; the performance and film collaborations of Sally Potter and Rose English; the untitled film stills of Cindy Sherman; and the large-scale, craft-based sculptures of Magdalena Abakanowicz. Written entries on each artist offer key biographical and descriptive information and accompanying essays by leading critics, art historians, and scholars offer new perspectives on feminist art practice. The topics, including the relationship between American and European feminism, feminism and New York abstraction, and mapping a global feminism, provide a broad social context for the artworks themselves. WACK! is both a definitive visual record and a long-awaited history of one of the most important artistic movements of the twentieth century. Essays by: Cornelia Butler, Judith Russi Kirshner, Catherine Lord, Marsha Meskimmon, Richard Meyer, Helen Molesworth, Peggy Phelan, Nelly Richard, Valerie Smith, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Jenni Sorkin Artists include: Marina Abramović, Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Dara Birnbaum, Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Lygia Clark, Jay DeFeo, Mary Beth Edelson, Valie Export, Barbara Hammer, Susan Hiller, Joan Jonas, Mary Kelly, Maria Lassnig, Linda Montano, Alice Neel, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O'Grady, Pauline Oliveros, Yoko Ono, Orlan, Howardena Pindell, Yvonne Rainer, Faith Ringgold, Ketty La Rocca, Ulrike Rosenbach, Martha Rosler, Betye Saar, Miriam Schapiro, Carolee Schneemann, Cindy Sherman, Hannah Wilke

‘An Incalculable Effect’: Subversions of Heteronormativity - Chambers, Samuel A. (Political Studies, 2007)
The writings of Judith Butler are now canonised in the fields of feminist and queer theory, yet her contribution to politics and her role in the field of political theory remain uncertain. I argue, perhaps uncontroversially, that Butler's is a politics of subversion; I also contend, perhaps more contentiously, that Butler's understanding of subversion only takes clear shape in light of her implicit theory of heteronormativity. Butler's work calls for the subversion of heteronormativity; in so doing her writings both illuminate the general problem of normativity for politics and offer a robust response to that problem. Butler resists the tendency to treat norms as merely agreed-upon standards, and she rebuts those easy dismissals of theorists who would take seriously the power of norms thought in terms of normativity and normalisation. Butler's contribution to political theory emerges in the form of her painstaking unfolding of subversion. This unfolding produces an account of the politics of norms that is needed desperately by both political theory and politics. Thus, I conclude that political theory cannot afford to ignore either the theory of heteronormativity or the politics of its subversion.

Displaying Families - Finch, Janet (Sociology, 2007)
This article argues that the sociology of contemporary family relationships should be developed to recognize the importance of ‘displaying’ as well as ‘doing’ family. The addition of the concept of ‘display’ to the sociological tool kit is not only a necessary complement to the important conceptual developments which have taken place in recent years, but is also rich in its potential for further empirical and theoretical work. In developing this theme, the article examines empirical evidence from recent UK studies of family relationships, exploring why ‘display’ is important in contemporary family relationships as well as the process through which it occurs. The article represents an initial exploration of these themes. The author's principal aim is to open up this aspect of family life for debate within the relevant sociological research community, encouraging others to refine the concept as well as to use it.

Epistemic injustice: Power and the ethics of knowing - Fricker, Miranda (Oxford University Press, 2007)
In this exploration of new territory between ethics and epistemology, Miranda Fricker argues that there is a distinctively epistemic type of injustice, in which someone is wronged specifically in their capacity as a knower. Justice is one of the oldest and most central themes in philosophy, but in order to reveal the ethical dimension of our epistemic practices the focus must shift to injustice. Fricker adjusts the philosophical lens so that we see through to the negative space that is epistemic injustice. The book explores two different types of epistemic injustice, each driven by a form of prejudice, and from this exploration comes a positive account of two corrective ethical-intellectual virtues. The characterization of these phenomena casts light on many issues, such as social power, prejudice, virtue, and the genealogy of knowledge, and it proposes a virtue epistemological account of testimony. In this ground-breaking book, the entanglements of reason and social power are traced in a new way, to reveal the different forms of epistemic injustice and their place in the broad pattern of social injustice."--Book cover. Justice is one of the oldest and most central themes of philosophy, but sometimes we would do well to focus instead on injustice. This book argues that there is a distinctively epistemic genus of injustice, in which someone is wronged specifically in their capacity as a knower

Transcultural bodies: female genital cutting in global context - Hernlund, Ylva; Shell-Duncan, Bettina (Rutgers University Press, 2007)
Female "circumcision" or, more precisely, female genital cutting (FGC), remains an important cultural practice in many African countries, often serving as a coming-of-age ritual. It is also a practice that has generated international dispute and continues to be at the center of debates over women's rights, the limits of cultural pluralism, the balance of power between local cultures, international human rights, and feminist activism. In our increasingly globalized world, these practices have also begun immigrating to other nations, where transnational complexities vex debates about how to resolve the issue. Bringing together thirteen essays,Transcultural Bodiesprovides an ethnographically rich exploration of FGC among African diasporas in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Contributors analyze changes in ideologies of gender and sexuality in immigrant communities, the frequent marginalization of African women's voices in debates over FGC, and controversies over legislation restricting the practice in immigrant populations.

Queer Theory and Sociology: Locating the Subject and the Self in Sexuality Studies - Isaiah Green, Adam (Sociological Theory, 2007)
In this paper, I revisit the relationship of queer theory and sociology in order to address some critical issues around conceiving the subject and the self in sexualities research. I suggest that while sociology and queer theory are not reducible to each other, sociology has its own deconstructionist impulse built into pragmatist and symbolic interactionist analyses of identity and subjectivity that is often overlooked by or reinvented through queer theory. But, conversely, queer theory has a very specific deconstructionist raison d'etre with regard to conceiving the sexual subject that marks its key departure from Foucault and sociology more generally. This deconstructionist mandate, by definition, moves queer theory away from the analysis of self and subject position—including those accruing from race, class and gender—and toward a conception of the self radically disarticulated from the social. This “anti-identitarian” position has been a source of criticism among some sociologists who find in queer theory an indefensible “refusal to name a subject” ( Seidman 1993:132). But this criticism, I suggest, stems from a misplaced effort to synthesize queer theory and sociology when, in fact, the two approaches to the subject are founded on incommensurable methodological and epistemological principles. Rather, I argue that the very promise of queer theory rests in a strong deconstructionism that exists in tension with, rather than as an extension of, sociological approaches to the self

Encyclopedia of sex and gender - Malti-Douglas, Fedwa (Macmillan social science library, 2007)
Les études de genre sont devenues un domaine académique majeur depuis les années 1980, offrant une lentille à travers laquelle réexaminer et réévaluer les connaissances dans tous les domaines de l'interaction et de l'activité humaines. L'Encyclopédie du sexe et du genre englobe les divers concepts de sexe et de genre qui ont émergé de l'étude critique de ces sujets dans le monde entier, ainsi que de la réimagination émergente des sciences humaines et sociales plus traditionnelles. De vastes essais théoriques abordent les questions de sexe et de genre au niveau personnel et social ; d'autres examinent les questions d'identité, de statut, de classe, d'ethnicité, de race et de nation ; de la sexualité et du corps ; et des institutions sociales et des structures de représentation - tout cela à travers le prisme du genre. Avec une perspective véritablement mondiale, les sujets des entrées individuelles incluent l'évolution des conceptions du "féminin", la famille et la masculinité, la religion, la morale, les images culturelles, la pratique médicale, la santé publique, l'économie et la société, et bien d'autres. En outre, l'ouvrage traite des influences des études de genre sur diverses disciplines universitaires, en examinant comment elles ont transformé et utilisé des méthodes et des théories qui ont évolué.

Contract and domination - Pateman, Carole; Mills, Charles W. (Polity, 2007)
« Contract and Domination offers a bold challenge to contemporary contract theory, arguing that it should either be fundamentally rethought or abandoned altogether. Since the publication of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, contract theory has once again become central to the Western political tradition. But gender justice is neglected and racial justice almost completely ignored. Carole Pateman's and Charles Mills's earlier books, The Sexual Contract (1988) and The Racial Contract (1997), offered devastating critiques of gender and racial domination and the contemporary contract tradition's silence on them. Both books have become classics of revisionist radical democratic political theory. Now Pateman and Mills are collaborating for the first time in an interdisciplinary volume, drawing on their insights from political science and philosophy. They are building on but going beyond their earlier work to bring the sexual and racial contracts together. In Contract and Domination, Pateman and Mills discuss their differences about contract theory and whether it has a useful future; excavate the (white) settler contract that created new civil societies in North America and Australia; argue via a "non-ideal" contract for reparations to black Americans; confront the evasions of contemporary contract theorists; explore the intersections of gender and race and the global sexual-racial contract; and reply to their critics. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Contested pleasures: The sociopolitical economy of disability and sexuality - Shildrick, Margrit (Sexuality Research & Social Policy, 2007)
Consideration of sexual pleasure in the lives of people with disabilities plays little part in lay consciousness, and practically none in social policy. This article investigates such repression by engaging with a cultural imaginary that fears nonnormative sexuality as being a potential point of societal breakdown. Recent work in disability studies gives a very different understanding of the sexuate body that opens up the parameters of sexuality for everyone. This work challenges current social policy’s supposedly rational utilitarian basis and the principle of equality that together ground a sociopolitical economy of disability predicated on rehabilitation or compensation. Nonetheless, the call for sexual citizenship for people with disabi lities is fraught with difficulties, not least regarding the potential extension of govern mentality. An effective approach not only will take into account the sociopolitical aspects of this issue but also will respond to both the full embodiment of disability and its significance in mainstream culture.

Body art and performance: the body as language - Vergine, Lea; Vergine, Lea (Skira, 2007)
When The Body as Language ("Body-art" and Performance) appeared in 1974, it was immediately a huge publishing hit, reviewed by some of the most influential art historians and writers (Giulio C. Argan, Edoardo Sanguineti, Max Kozloff, Lucy Lippard, François Pluchart, Peter Gorsen, Evelyn Weiss and many others). A direct testimony of the birth and development of one of the most controversial art trends, Lea Vergine's book avails of a series of texts by the artists themselves, whom the author had asked to contribute with a statement about the illustrations of their work. Featuring a thorough documentation of original photographs and film photograms, videotapes, happenings, actions and performances, the book analyses the evolution of this phenomenon through the works of sixty artists, including Gina Pane, Gilbert & George, Urs Lüthi and Katharina Sieverding, Rebecca Horn, Trisha Brown, Günter Brus and many others who have worked with and on the body. In an absolutely unusual publishing event, nearly thirty years after the first edition, the text--by now a classic--is republished with all the original photographic material. The volume is enhanced and brought up-to-date by an afterword by Lea Vergine, who observes the changes of Body Art throughout the nineties: Orlan, Stelarc, Ron Athey, Franko B., Yasumasa Morimura, Jana Sterbak, Matthew Barney are "virtuosos of disorder and hungry for afflictions of any and every kind, mystics--like persons who display the subjection of their bodies to cruel and invasive devices, or who revel in virtual fantasies of such self-inflicted pains--destroy themselves in order newly to find themselves. . . . They finally pay a visit to the world of the saints and victims, exploring and prolonging its seductions.

Fear of a queer planet queer politics and social theory - Warner, Michael; Social Text Collective (University of Minnesota Press, 2007)
In recent years, lesbians and gay men have developed a new, aggressive style of politics. At the same time, innovative intellectual energies have made queer theory an explosive field of study. In "Fear of a Queer Planet", Michael Warner draws on emerging new queer politics, and shows how queer activists have come to challenge basic assumptions about the social and political world. Existing traditions of theory - Marxism, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, anthropology, legal theory, nationalism, and antinationalism - have too often presupposed a heterosexual society, as the essays in this volume demonstrate. "Fear of a Queer Planet" suggests a new agenda for social theory. It moves beyond the idea that lesbians and gay men share a minority identity and special interests and that their issues can be subordinated to more general social conflicts. Instead, Warner and the other contributors to this volume show that queer sexualities take many forms, are the subject of many kinds of conflict and struggles, and must be taken as a starting point in thinking about cultural politics. This collection explores the impact of ACT UP, Queer Nation, multiculturalism, the new religious right, outing, queerness, postmodernism, and other shifts in the politics of sexuality. The authors featured speak from different backgrounds of gender, race, nationality, and discipline. Together, they show how struggles over sexuality have profound implications for progressive politics, social theory, and cultural studies. Michael Warner has written extensively on censorship and the public sphere, the construction of American literary history, and the social and political implication of literary theories. He is author of "The Letter of the Republic: Publication and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century America" and co-editor of "The Origins of Literary Studies in America: A Documentary Anthology".

Queer phenomenology: Orientations, objects, others - Ahmed, Sara (Duke University Press, 2006)
"In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry. Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear—and those that do not—as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts—by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon—with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions." -- Tiré du site de l'éditeur

Gender Equality in the New Millennium: Goal or Gimmick? - ANTROBUS, PEGGY (Caribbean Quarterly, 2006)
At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, all with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Millenium Development Goals are now part of an international development framework which many countries in the Caribbean have signed on to. This paper addresses the question of how the Millenium Development Goals can be made to work to promote gender equality and empowerment in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region. The analysis here will not be limited to "gender equality and women's empowerment (MDG Goal 3). It will also highlight the gender dimensions of some of the other MDGs that closely related to women's equality and empowerment - as a means and as an outcome. Finally, the analysis and suggestions in relation to strategies "to ensure that gender inequalities are identified and addressed in the MDG monitoring process and in national policy responses from governments" will focus on Caribbean realities. Suggestions are made by drawing on the findings and insights on the linkages between global trends, development strategies (including the macroeconomic policy framework of structural adjustment) and their impact on poor women, and the ways in which we might now approach activist interventions toward the goal of gender equality and women's empowerment.

Women artists at the millennium - Armstrong, Carol M.; Zegher, M. Catherine de (MIT Press, 2006)
"More than thirty years after the birth of the modern women's movement and the beginnings of feminist art-making and art history, the time is ripe to examine the legacies of those revolutions. In Women Artists at the Millennium, artists, art historians, and critics examine the differences that feminist art practice and critical theory have made in late twentieth-century art and the discourses surrounding it. In 1971, when Linda Nochlin published her essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" in a special issue of Art News, there were no women's studies, no feminist theory, no such thing as feminist art criticism; there was instead a focus on the mythic figure of the great (male) artist through history. Since then, the "woman artist" has not simply been assimilated into the canon of "greatness" but has expanded art-making into a multiplicity of practices with new parameters and perspectives. In Women Artists at the Millennium artists including Martha Rosler and Yvonne Rainer reflect upon their own varied practices and art historians discuss the innovative work of such figures as Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, Mona Hatoum, and Carrie Mae Weems. And Linda Nochlin considers changes since her landmark essay and looks to the future, writing, "We will need all our wit and courage to make sure that women's voices are heard, their work seen and written about."--Jaquette

Governing women's morality: a study of Islamic veiling in Canada - Atasoy, Y. (EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CULTURAL STUDIES, 2006)
The veiling of Muslim women is subject to strongly contested ideas about whether the veil is a symbol of women's subordination to an oppressive tradition or a means of emancipation from that tradition. This article suggests that women's own personal reasons for veiling must be analysed. Data collected from published documents from Muslim organizations allows for demonstration that the veil is configured as central to an Islamic moral code of female modesty. A further analysis of findings from interviews conducted with veiled Muslim women in Winnipeg shows the nuanced ways in which women enact this code.

South Asian transnational marriages in comparative perspective - CHARSLEY, KATHARINE; SHAW, ALISON (Global Networks, 2006)
Abstract This issue on South Asian transnational marriages brings diverse practices and networks into detailed ethnographic focus. Gender and agency are key themes explored in the collection, as well as the potential and actual transformation of gendered status resulting from marrying a migrant or joining a spouse overseas. The introduction identifies some common threads. Several articles challenge the assumption of wives' passivity in arranged marriages or in their joining husbands overseas, while one highlights the less-documented experiences of men who migrate to join wives working abroad. The collection also offers insights into the cultural and emotional reasons for such marriages, complementing analyses that stress strategic motivations, and noting the emotional consequences of separation and new household formations for the experiences of marriage and parenthood. Marriage emerges as an important means of producing and transforming transnational networks, while marriage practices and dynamics are themselves transformed in the process.

Sex objects: art and the dialectics of desire - Doyle, Jennifer (University of Minnesota Press, 2006)
The declaration that a work of art is “about sex” is often announced to the public as a scandal after which there is nothing else to say about the work or the artist-controversy concludes a conversation when instead it should begin a new one. Moving beyond debates about pornography and censorship, Jennifer Doyle shows us that sex in art is as diverse as sex in everyday life: exciting, ordinary, emotional, traumatic, embarrassing, funny, even profoundly boring. Sex Objects examines the reception and frequent misunderstanding of highly sexualized images, words, and performances. In chapters on the “boring parts” of Moby-Dick, the scandals that dogged the painter Thomas Eakins, the role of women in Andy Warhol's Factory films, “bad sex” and Tracey Emin's crudely evocative line drawings, and L.A. artist Vaginal Davis's pornographic parodies of Vanessa Beecroft's performances, Sex Objects challenges simplistic readings of sexualized art and instead investigates what such works can tell us about the nature of desire. In Sex Objects, Doyle offers a creative and original exploration of how and where art and sex connect, arguing that to proclaim a piece of art “about sex” reveals surprisingly little about the work, the artist, or the spectator. Deftly interweaving anecdotal and personal writing with critical, feminist, and queer theory, she reimagines the relationship between sex and art in order to better understand how the two meet-and why it matters.

The Cyborg Embryo: Our Path to Transbiology - Franklin, S. (THEORY CULTURE AND SOCIETY, 2006)
It is useful on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the ‘Cyborg Manifesto’ not only to reconsider its lessons in the context of what is frequently described as the re-engineering of ‘life itself’, but to look at Haraway’s earlier work on embryos. In this article I begin with Haraway’s analysis of embryology in the 1970s to suggest her cyborg embryo was already there, and has, if anything, gained relevance in today’s embryo-strewn society. I argue further, as the title suggests, that the cyborg embryo has been crucial in defining our path to what I am calling here, building on Haraway’s notion of trans from Modest_Witness, ‘transbiology’ - broadly meaning stem cell research, cloning, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. To illustrate this argument I draw on recent ethnographic fieldwork in a new stem cell derivation facility in the UK built adjacent to an IVF surgery. Using this example, I explore the important and paradoxical role of IVF in the emergence of stem cell science, cloning and transbiology, suggesting that Haraway’s analysis remains crucial to understanding the ironic and contradictory, and unexpectedly generative, circumstances through which the IVF-stem cell interface - the door to transbiology - came into being.

Anti-Essentialism and Intersectionality - Grillo, Tina (Theorizing feminisms a reader, 2006)
'What is oppression ?' 'What should be done about it ?' Organized around these questions, Theorizing feminisms : a reader provides an overview of theoritical feminist writing about the quest for gender justice. Incorporating both classic and cutting-edge material, the reader takes into account the full diversity of women, highlighting the effects of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, sexuality, and religion on women's experience. Theorizing feminisms is organized into four sections and includes fifty-four essays. The first section introduces several basic concepts commonly employed when thinking about sexism - oppression, social construction, essentialism, intersectionality, gender, race, and class - and also raises questions about the perspective and legitimacy of the theorist. The second section surveys three approaches that attempt to characterize in a general way the source of injustice toward women : humanist feminism ('the sameness approach'), gynocentric feminism ('the difference approach'), and dominance feminism. Offering an alternate perspective, the third section introduces two 'localizing' approaches, grounded in postmodernism and identity politics, respectively. Skeptical of theories that attempt to analyze social phenomena across history and culture, authors in this section challenge, rather than answer, the text's organizing questions. The final section explores the relationship of feminism theory to three liberatory projects - postcolonialism, neo-materialism, and queer theory - that do not characterize themselves as feminist, yet take gender as a significant category of analysis. Each section opens with an introduction and each essay is followed by helpful study questions. the majority of the essays are presented in their entirety. Theorizing feminisms underscores the strong connection between feminist theory and practice by including essays that illustrate important political inspirations or applications of each theoritical approach. It also presents versions of the same approach from various points in history, revealing feminist theory to be dynamic and evolving, rather than static. Ideal for interdisciplinary courses in feminist theory, this volume will also serve as an invaluable reference for current and future generations of theorists."

Self image: technology, representation, and the contemporary subject - Jones, Amelia (Routledge, 2006)
"Self/Image explores the ways in which contemporary artists have deployed new technologies of representation, from analogue photography to more recent artistic practices including digital imaging, performance, robotics, film and video installations, to explore and articulate shifting modes of subjectivity. This book is one of the first full-length studies to investigate the complex intersubjective relations among these diverse artistic practices." "Including over 100 illustrations from mainstream film to independent film, video art, performance and the visual arts, this important and original book provides an excellent companion to more general studies of contemporary art history, and media and cultural studies in the post-1960 period."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

In the days of our grandmothers: a reader in Aboriginal women's history in Canada - Kelm, Mary-Ellen; Townsend, Lorna (University of Toronto Press, 2006)
From Ellen Gabriel to Tantoo Cardinal, many of the faces of Aboriginal people in the media today are women. In the Days of Our Grandmothers is a collection of essays detailing how Aboriginal women have found their voice in Canadian society over the past three centuries. Collected in one volume for the first time, these essays critically situate Aboriginal women in the fur trade, missions, labour and the economy, the law, sexuality, and the politics of representation.

Crip theory: cultural signs of queerness and disability - MacRuer, Robert (Cultural front, 2006)
A bold and contemporary discourse of the intersection of disability studies and queer studies Crip Theory attends to the contemporary cultures of disability and queerness that are coming out all over. Both disability studies and queer theory are centrally concerned with how bodies, pleasures, and identities are represented as “normal” or as abject, but Crip Theory is the first book to analyze thoroughly the ways in which these interdisciplinary fields inform each other. Drawing on feminist theory, African American and Latino/a cultural theories, composition studies, film and television studies, and theories of globalization and counter-globalization, Robert McRuer articulates the central concerns of crip theory and considers how such a critical perspective might impact cultural and historical inquiry in the humanities. Crip Theory puts forward readings of the Sharon Kowalski story, the performance art of Bob Flanagan, and the journals of Gary Fisher, as well as critiques of the domesticated queerness and disability marketed by the Millennium March, or Bravo TV’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. McRuer examines how dominant and marginal bodily and sexual identities are composed, and considers the vibrant ways that disability and queerness unsettle and re-write those identities in order to insist that another world is possible.

Aspiration, reunification and gender transformation in Jat Sikh marriages from India to Canada - MOONEY, NICOLA (Global Networks, 2006)
In this article I explore marriage as a strategy of family migration among a transnational community of middle-class Jat Sikhs. Family reunification and status aspirations are examined as central concerns of the transnational movement of Jat Sikhs from India to Canada. It is argued that Jat Sikh transnationalism and gender are mutually-constitutive: migration strategies can construct women, as well as men, as agents of marital citizenship, and in facilitating migration, transnational marriage may transform practices and notions of gender and status. The article is based on preliminary ethnographic research among Jat Sikh brides in Toronto and Vancouver, and forms part of a larger study of gender, modernity and identity in Indo-Canadian Jat Sikh marriages.

The Politics of Protection: Body Image, Social Pressures, and the Misrepresentation of Young Black Women - Poran, Maya A. (Sex Roles : A Journal of Research, 2006)
As part of a larger multi-method study, 15 Black women college students participated in focus group discussions on the body. Contrary to popular theories that propose that Black women are protected by a “Black Culture” that buffers them from negative effects of body representations—thereby leaving them with higher body esteem—the themes that emerged in the focus group discussions indicate that young Black women are indeed feeling (1) pressures to be thin, (2) pressures from the preferences of men of diverse ethnicities, (3) competition with other Black women in the realms of beauty, and (4) a strong sense of being misrepresented by media images of thin Black women. These results not only indicate that body image issues are of real pressing concern to young Black women, but that psychological research methodologies may be adding to the misrepresentation of young Black women and their struggles. Qualitative methods must be utilized in order to hear more clearly the voices of Women of Color.

The transgender studies reader - Stryker, Susan; Whittle, Stephen (Routledge, 2006)
Although the term "transgender" itself has achieved familiarity only within the past decade, this authoritative collection of articles demonstrates that the study of behaviors, bodies, and subjective identities which contest common Eurocentric notions of gender has a history stretching back at least to the early 20th century. Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies, desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists, and academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.

Unveiled Sentiments: Gendered Islamophobia and Experiences of Veiling among Muslim Girls in a Canadian Islamic School - Zine, Jasmin (Equity & Excellence in Education, 2006)
The practice of veiling has made Muslim women subject to dual oppressions--racism and Islamophobia--in society at large and patriarchal oppression and sexism from within their communities. Based on a narrative analysis of the politics of veiling in schools and society, the voices of young Muslim women attending a Canadian Islamic school speak to the contested notion of gender identity in Islam. The narratives situate their various articulations of Islamic womanhood in ways that both affirm and challenge traditional religious notions. At the same time they also are subject to Orientalist representations of veiled and burqa clad women that represent them as oppressed and backward. Focusing on ethnographic accounts of veiling among Muslims girls who attended a gender-segregated Islamic high school in Toronto, this discussion allows a deeper understanding of how gendered religious identities are constructed in the schooling experiences of these Muslim youth. (Contains 11 notes.)

Reclaiming female agency: feminist art history after postmodernism - Broude, Norma..; Garrard, Mary D.; Broude, Norma; Garrard, Mary D. (University of California Press, 2005)
This volume is the third in an influential series of anthologies by editors Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard that challenge art history from a feminist perspective. Following their Feminism and Art History: Questioning the Litany (1982) and The Expanding Discourse: Feminism and Art History (1992), this new volume identifies female agency as a central theme of recent feminist scholarship. Framed by a lucid and stimulating critical introduction, twenty-three essays on artists and issues from the Renaissance to the present, written in the 1990s and after, offer a nuanced critique of the poststructuralist premises of 1980s feminist art history.

In a queer time and place: Transgender bodies, subcultural lives - Halberstam, Jack (J.) (New York University Press, 2005)
In a Queer Time and Place opens with a probing analysis of the life and death of Brandon Teena, a young transgender man who was brutally murdered in small-town Nebraska. After looking at mainstream representations of the transgender body as exhibited in the media frenzy surrounding this highly visible case and the Oscar-winning film based on Brandon's story, Boys Don’t Cry, Halberstam turns her attention to the cultural and artistic production of queers themselves. Halberstam examines the “transgender gaze,” as rendered in small art-house films like By Hook or By Crook, as well as figurations of ambiguous embodiment in the art of Del LaGrace Volcano, Jenny Saville, Eva Hesse, Shirin Neshat, and others. Halberstam then exposes the influence of lesbian drag king cultures upon hetero-male comic films, such as Austin Powers and The Full Monty, and, finally, points to dyke subcultures as one site for the development of queer counterpublics and queer temporalities. Considering the sudden visibility of the transgender body in the early twenty-first century against the backdrop of changing conceptions of space and time, In a Queer Time and Place is the first full-length study of transgender representations in art, fiction, film, video, and music. This pioneering book offers both a jumping off point for future analysis of transgenderism and an important new way to understand cultural constructions of time and place.

Black sexual politics: African Americans, gender, and the new racism - Hill Collins, Patricia (Routledge, 2005)
To a large extent, scholarship on black politics often focuses primarily on institutions, rule of law, processes, political actors, and citizens but with very little attention to issues of gender and sexuality. In contrast, the principal aim of this book is to explore what the author sees as the inextricable links between racism and gender. The basic thesis of this well-written, important, and provocative book is that the fight against racism, especially the “new racism,” can never be won without first challenging sexism, which simultaneously oppresses African-American men and women.

« Your Body is a Battleground » De quelques objets de l'histoire de l'art - Mader, Rachel; Schweizer, Nicole (Nouvelles Questions Féministes, 2005)
Notre article s'articule autour des points suivants: comment la critique féministe de histoire de l'art a-t-elle déplacé le ou les «objets» autour desquels s'articulait traditionnellement la discipline? Quels nouveaux «objets» ont dès lors été constitués? Et comment, à l'épreuve de ceux-ci, les histoires de l'art féministes doivent-elles, elles aussi, constamment se repositionner? L'exemple paradigmatique du corps dans la performance des années 70 nous permet d'interroger dans un deuxième temps la façon dont les artistes elles-mêmes ont déplacé la définition de l'objet, et par conséquent aussi celle du sujet - de l'œuvre comme de la perception.

Attitudes Toward Victims of Rape: Effects of Gender, Race, Religion, and Social Class - Nagel, Barbara; Matsuo, Hisako; McIntyre, Kevin P.; Morrison, Nancy (Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2005)
Although previous literature focusing on perceptions of victims of rape has examined how gender, race, and culture influence the attitudes one holds toward victims, these studies have yielded mixed results. This study compared perceptions of victims of rape across a wide range of ages, educational backgrounds, religions, and income levels, while focusing on gender and racial differences. Results indicate (N = 220) that victims of rape are generally viewed more sympathetically by females than by males and by Whites than by African Americans. However, the effect of race disappears when socioeconomic variables are controlled, suggesting a more complex relationship. Also, a hierarchical regression indicates that age, sex, education, and income are significant predictors of attitudes toward victims. This study builds on existing research that examines such attitudes from a cultural perspective and extends this literature by examining the interactive effects of several demographic variables within a community sample.

Domestic violence at the intersections of race, class, and gender: challenges and contributions to understanding violence against marginalized women in diverse communities - Sokoloff, Natalie J; Dupont, Ida (Violence against women, 2005)
This article provides a comprehensive review of the emerging domestic violence literature using a race, class, gender, sexual orientation intersectional analysis and structural framework fostered by women of color and their allies to understand the experiences and contexts of domestic violence for marginalized women in U.S. society. The first half of the article lays out a series of challenges that an intersectional analysis grounded in a structural framework provides for understanding the role of culture in domestic violence. The second half of the article points to major contributions of such an approach to feminist methods and practices in working with battered women on the margins of society.

Make Room for Daddy: Anxious Masculinity and Emergent Homophobias in Neopatriarchal Politics - Stein, Arlene (Gender and Society, 2005)
What are the sources of continuing antipathy toward homosexuality, and what might they tell us about changing forms of American masculinity? This article documents some emergent homophobias circulating among conservative activists in relation to campaigns against gay rights in the early 1990s and against gay marriage in 2004. As feminist critiques of traditional masculinity make their way into conservative rhetoric and as men struggle to define a role that maintains male authority without sounding overly authoritarian, new forms of homophobia have emerged that are compatible with conservatives' quest to be seen as compassionate protectors of the family.

Whose Culture Has Capital? A Critical Race Theory Discussion of Community Cultural Wealth - Yosso, Tara J. (Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2005)
This article conceptualizes community cultural wealth as a critical race theory (CRT) challenge to traditional interpretations of cultural capital. CRT shifts the research lens away from a deficit view of Communities of Color as places full of cultural poverty disadvantages, and instead focuses on and learns from the array of cultural knowledge, skills, abilities and contacts possessed by socially marginalized groups that often go unrecognized and unacknowledged. Various forms of capital nurtured through cultural wealth include aspirational, navigational, social, linguistic, familial and resistant capital. These forms of capital draw on the knowledges Students of Color bring with them from their homes and communities into the classroom. This CRT approach to education involves a commitment to develop schools that acknowledge the multiple strengths of Communities of Color in order to serve a larger purpose of struggle toward social and racial justice.

‘I am not Homophobic But...’: Disclaiming in Discourse Resisting Repeal of Section 28 - Burridge, Joseph (Sexualities, 2004)
This article attempts to take seriously the discourse of the morally conservative in the context of the failed repeal of Section 28 in the year 2000, and explores the operation of opposition to repeal which denied that homophobia was its motivation. It is argued that such disclaiming implies an orientation towards an attribution of homophobia as unhelpful or undesirable in this context. The failure of those advocating repeal to successfully problematize such arguments is deemed to reflect a collective ‘discourse of tolerance’ which assisted the arguments of those against repeal.

Pornography, Women and Feminism: Between Pleasure and Politics - Ciclitira, Karen (Sexualities, 2004)
This article draws on a qualitative research study which set out to explore women’s experiences and views of pornography within the broader context of conflicting feminist positions on pornography. The research methodology posed an implicit criticism of the kind of ‘findings’ familiar from mainstream psychological research: semi-structured interviews were conducted with women from diverse backgrounds in the UK, and feminist theory and discourse analysis were used to inform interpretation of their accounts. Although the question of feminism was not explicitly raised by the interviewer, it emerged as a recurrent theme in interviews, with interviewees suggesting that the feminist anti-porn stance in particular has influenced their perspective on pornography. Their accounts show that women’s experiences are variegated, individual and complex, and that discourses of pornography and feminism may be negotiated in unpredictable ways.

No future: Queer theory and the death drive - Edelman, Lee (Duke University Press., 2004)
In this searing polemic, Lee Edelman outlines a radically uncompromising new ethics of queer theory. His main target is the all-pervasive figure of the child, which he reads as the linchpin of our universal politics of “reproductive futurism.” Edelman argues that the child, understood as innocence in need of protection, represents the possibility of the future against which the queer is positioned as the embodiment of a relentlessly narcissistic, antisocial, and future-negating drive. He boldly insists that the efficacy of queerness lies in its very willingness to embrace this refusal of the social and political order. In No Future, Edelman urges queers to abandon the stance of accommodation and accede to their status as figures for the force of a negativity that he links with irony, jouissance, and, ultimately, the death drive itself. Closely engaging with literary texts, Edelman makes a compelling case for imagining Scrooge without Tiny Tim and Silas Marner without little Eppie. Looking to Alfred Hitchcock’s films, he embraces two of the director’s most notorious creations: the sadistic Leonard of North by Northwest, who steps on the hand that holds the couple precariously above the abyss, and the terrifying title figures of The Birds, with their predilection for children. Edelman enlarges the reach of contemporary psychoanalytic theory as he brings it to bear not only on works of literature and film but also on such current political flashpoints as gay marriage and gay parenting. Throwing down the theoretical gauntlet, No Future reimagines queerness with a passion certain to spark an equally impassioned debate among its readers

Aberrations in Black: Toward a queer of color critique - Ferguson, Roderick A. (Critical American studies series, 2004)
A hard-hitting look at the regulation of sexual difference and its role in circumscribing African American culture. The sociology of race relations in America typically describes an intersection of poverty, race, and economic discrimination. But what is missing from the picture—sexual difference—can be as instructive as what is present. In this ambitious work, Roderick A. Ferguson reveals how the discourses of sexuality are used to articulate theories of racial difference in the field of sociology.

The impact of culture and minority status on women's experience of domestic violence - Kasturirangan, Aarati; Krishnan, Sandhya; Riger, Stephanie (Trauma, violence & abuse, 2004)
The influence of culture and ethnic background on women’s experience of domestic violence has been explored in research only recently.

‘Who is the Developed Woman?’: Women as a Category of Development Discourse, Kumaon, India - Klenk, Rebecca M. (Development and Change, 2004)
This article analyses gendered discourses of development in rural North India, and addresses the usefulness of recent scholarship on development as ‘discourse’ for understanding connections between development and subjectivity. This scholarship is an excellent point of departure for exploring the contradictions inherent in the institutionalization of economic development and the global reach of its discourses, but it has focused primarily upon development as discourse at official sites of deployment, while paying less attention to how specific discourses and processes of development are appropriated by those constituted as beneficiaries of development. The under-theorization of this aspect has meant that the range of processes through which development projects may encourage new subject positions are poorly understood. By investigating what some women in rural Kumaon have made of their own development, this article contributes to emerging scholarship on development and subjectivity with an ethnographic analysis of the polysemic enthusiasm for development expressed by some of its ‘beneficiaries’.
