"Féminismes. Théories, mouvements, conflits" - L'homme te la société, number 158

(info & abstracts)

"En France, depuis une décennie, la théorie et le mouvement féministes témoignent d’un renouveau à la fois générationnel et thématique qui marque ce que l’on pourrait baptiser la troisième vague du féminisme français. Ce numéro de L’homme et la société entend faire le point sur ces nouvelles générations intellectuelle et militante, sur leurs liens avec les combats passés, leurs héritages assumés ou contestés et sur leurs luttes présentes. Depuis différentes disciplines, les articles réunis dans ce numéro permettent d’élaborer une cartographie du mouvement, sans éluder les conflits qui le traversent, mais aussi l’originalité et la force problématique qu’il porte au cœur des actuels débats de société".

Male Readings of Feminist Theory: The Psychologizing of gender Relations in Writings bout Masculinity.

Critiques of masculinity made by men most often real upon feminist theories that develop, whether implicitly or explicitly, psychological explanations of masculine subjectivity, for example in terms of a “relational incapacity” or a desire to dominate”. The fact that men are raised by women is central in such approaches. By giving priority to a therapeutic understanding of masculin practices it is suggested that the domination of men over women is a consequence of their own damaged masculinity. In this way, the question of intentionality is obscured, as is the political domination and exploitation of women by men. Using feminist materialism would offer a more effective and politically robust approach to the problem, by revealing the empirical and theoretical weaknesses of the analyses of masculin subjectivity. It would also show in what ways the concept of masculinity can work as an idealist reification of masculin practices of the appropriation of the domestic work of women.

The social relations of sex at the University: In the Center of a Triple Denial.

The interrelations between men and women at the university can be elucidated by placing them within historical, organizational and institutional contexts. By comparing them to the other relational factors, such as age and social class, they can be measured in terms of idealtypical pedagogical relations which can be considered as including the other social relationships. These social relationships are similar in that denial is a major element of their functioning.

Between Anger and Distance: “Feminist Studies” in the University

The effects of feminist and gender studies on university students are problematical as concerns the social relations of sex. The heterogeneity of the effects of teaching is linked to the diversity of the unjust experiences of women. If knowledge and understanding that was originally produced by political struggle is now taught in certain universities and is capable of formalizing, contextualizing, resocializing suffering links to oppressive gender norms, it is nevertheless conditioned and focused by the academy.

To Be a Young Feminist Today: Generational Relations in the Feminist Movement

The feminist movement has been transformed since 1970s. A new generation of activists has brought new forms of organization and activism. Two generations and two different ways of acting now coexist. The myth of he 1970s overshadows the new generation and confers legitimacy on the previous generation in the definition of what feminism should be today. This generational relationship is intimately linked to the image of the movement. The young are often considered a necessary new element, and a potential threat to the continuity of the movement.

The Adventures of an “Objective Alliance”: Key Moments in the Relation between Homosexual Movements and Feminist Movements in the Twenty Century

Te relations between feminist movements and homosexual movements have been reinforced by political language dominant in each period: liberal individualism in Germany of 1904, the libertarian radicalism in France in the 1970s and, to a certain degree, the new “queer” radicalism in the early years of went-firs century which offer feminists and homosexual activists new point of contact as well as conflict. These relations are especially differentiated by the ways tht homosexuality and feminity are problematized and defined by the relations between “sex”, “gender” and “sexuality” – fluctuating definitions that the movements themselves have helped create and transform.


Vincenza PERILLI
“Sexual Difference” and the Others

Because of the problems faced by women, often thought of as a “minority”, there is need for a critical exploration of certain categories present in feminist thinking. A major consideration in this regard is the relation between sex and race. The notion of “sexual difference” which predominates in Italian feminist thought, in particular that of the Libreria delle donne in Milan, risks creating confusion when analyzing the complex relations between the different forms of domination concerning sex and “race” and, consequently, in the elaboration of critical perspective end its application in struggle.


Miriam COOKE
Multiple Critique: Islamic Feminist Rhetorical Strategies

Active Islamic feminists combine religious convictions with their struggle for equal rights between men and women through a multiple consciousness of their oppressed conditions. This consciousness fosters a “multiple critique” derived from a plural identity (Muslim, feminist, ex-colonized people) that some consider irreconcilable whit religion, feminism and/or nationality. Partisans of this multiple critique forms networks and unconventional political alliances order to advance their program.


Judith EZEKIEL
Katrina in New Orleans

This article looks at the impact of Hurricane Katrina on African American women in New Orleans, as well as the racialized and gendered US and French media representations of he catastrophe. The author draws a parallel with the situation and coverage of the African immigrant women evicted during the same period from the substandard Parisian hotels after a series of fires. She argues that these women singularly embody the intersectionality of race and gender as well as both societies, inability to conceptualize and take into account these intersections.

Public Sphere, Political Sphere: The Case of Women’s Organisation in Mongolia

J. Habermas shows how the bourgeoisie can appropriate political space by the appropriation of public space. However, this does not apply to women. Analysis of how women have occupied the public space in Mongolia reveals why. Successive revolutions in Mongolia have not upset the social relations of sex: women have remained socially assigned to the private sphere. The masculin political sphere has left them only their identity as women, which limits their participation as citizens and, thusly, their access to the political sphere.
