Abstract

""Queer theory,"" asserts Linda Garber, ""alternately buries and vilifies lesbian feminism, missing its valuable insights and ignoring its rich contributions."" Rejecting the either/or choice between lesbianism and queer theory, she favors an inclusive approach that defies current factionalism. In an eloquent challenge to the privileging of queer theory in the academy, Garber calls for recognition of the historical?and intellectually significant?role of lesbian poets as theorists of lesbian identity and activism.The connections, Garber shows, are most clearly seen when looking at

Abstract

The purpose of this Handbook is to provide students with an overview of key developments in queer and trans feminist theories and their significance to the field of contemporary performance studies. It presents new insights highlighting the ways in which rigid or punishing notions of gender, sexuality and race continue to flourish in systems of knowledge, faith and power which are relevant to a new generation of queer and trans feminist performers today. The guiding question for the Handbook is: How do queer and trans feminist theories enhance our understanding of developments in feminist performance today, and will this discussion give rise to new ways of theorizing contemporary performance? As such, the volume will survey a new generation of performers and theorists, as well as senior scholars, who engage and redefine the limits of performance. The chapters will demonstrate how intersectional, queer and trans feminist theoretical tools support new analyses of performance with a global focus. The primary audience will be students of theatre/ performance studies as well as queer /gender studies. The volume's contents suggest close links between the formation of queer feminist identities alongside recent key political developments with transnational resonances. Furthermore, the emergence of new queer and trans feminist epistemologies prompts a reorientation regarding performance and identities in a 21st-century context.

Abstract

Jill Johnston--cultural critic, auto/biographer, and lesbian icon--began her career at the Village Voice as a critic of dance and performance, writing about Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, the activities at Judson Church, Allan Kaprow and Happenings, Fluxus, and the downtown New York art scene. The column eventually became more personal than critical, allowing her to discuss her life, her sexuality, and her politics. This book brings together thirty texts Johnston wrote for the Voice between 1960 and 1974, beginning with her early dance coverage and continuing though the time when, as she put it, the column moved "from the theatre of dance and happenings toward the theatre of my life." As Johnston abandoned an objective critical standpoint, her column interwove forms and formats, and political, literary, art-historical, and critical perspectives, taking turns and loops, reflecting its time and contexts--with the one constant being Johnston's unmistakable, witty, intimate voice. As a person and as a writer she pioneered a model that not only challenged notions of writerly appropriateness but also performed and created a new lesbian identity. This collection also includes texts by Ingrid Nyeboe, Johnston's long-time partner and spouse; Bruce Hainley; and Jennifer Krasinski. An appendix collects material related to a 1969 panel discussion organized by Johnston (featuring Andy Warhol, Ultra Violet, and Carolee Schneemann, among others) that gives this volume its title: "The disintegration of a critic : an analysis of Jill Johnston." --

Abstract

De tweede feministische golf in Nederland wordt in dit onderzoek bekeken vanuit de invalshoek van de vorming en ontwikkeling van een feministische identiteit bij de betrokken vrouwen. De auteur toont aan dat vrouwen zich in hun ontwikkeling naar een feministisch bewustzijn vooral lieten inspireren door hun eigen ervaringen. Er wordt uitgebreid aandacht besteed aan het feminisme van Joke Kool-Smit, organisaties als Man Vrouw Maatschappij en Dolle Mina, het debat rond feminisme en homoseksualiteit, en de feministische betekenis van ervaringsverhalen.

Abstract

En 1978, Monique Wittig clôt sa conférence sur "La Pensée straight" par ces mots : "Les lesbiennes ne sont pas des femmes". L'onde de choc provoquée par cet énoncé n'en finit pas de se faire ressentir, aujourd'hui encore, dans la théorie féministe et au-delà. En analysant l'aspect fondateur de la "naturalité" supposée de l'hétérosexualité au sein de nos structures de pensées, que ce soit par exemple dans l'anthropologie structurale ou la psychanalyse, Monique Wittig met au jour le fait que l'hétérosexualité n'est ni naturelle, ni un donné : l'hétérosexualité est un régime politique. Il importe donc, pour instaurer la lutte des "classes", de dépasser les catégories "hommes" / "femmes", catégories normatives et aliénantes. Dans ces conditions, le fait d'être lesbienne, c'est-à-dire hors-la-loi de la structure hétérosexuelle, aussi bien sociale que conceptuelle, est comme une brèche, une fissure permettant enfin de penser ce qui est "toujours déjà là".

Abstract

How has feminism failed lesbianism? What issues belong at the top of a lesbian and gay political agenda? This book answers both questions by examining what lesbian and gay subordination really amounts to. Calhoun argues that lesbians and gays aren't just socially and politically disadvantaged. The closet displaces lesbians and gays from visible citizenship, and both law and cultural norms deny lesbians and gay men a private sphere of romance, marriage, and the family. - ;Feminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet is about placing sexual orientation politics within feminist theorizing
