Full textAbstract:
Feminist Buddhology is a burgeoning area of study, with many scholar-practitioners examining the interaction between Buddhism and feminist theory. Here I examine the contributions made by Buddhist Feminists and argue that, in general, Feminist Buddhology runs the serious risk of being ‘apologist’. I contrast the discrimination against women evident in Buddhist traditions with the claims of Buddhist Feminists that ‘Buddhism is feminism’ and ‘feminism is Buddhism’. In order to do so I provide a brief history or the position of women in Buddhism, an overview of Feminist Buddhology and lastly the beginnings of an alternate perspective from which we may interweave Buddhism and feminism, without an underlying apologist perspective.

Resumo: O presente artigo apresenta contribuições das estudantes feministas auto-organizadas na universidade e no movimento estudantil, a partir de coletivos feministas, nas entidades estudantis e nos Encontros de Mulheres Estudantes (EMEs) da União Nacional de Estudantes (UNE). As contribuições têm origem em seis entrevistas realizadas com as diretoras de mulheres da UNE nas gestões 2002 a 2015 e nas cartas dos seis EMEs que ocorreram no mesmo período. A partir de 2002 é possível perceber uma reorganização feminista no movimento estudantil e nas universidades. Os espaços de auto-organização das estudantes auxiliam a pensar de forma crítica a universidade e a formação que nela é oferecida. Relacionamos as vozes das estudantes com as contribuições de um conjunto de referências como Chauí (2001), Collins (2015), Santos (2019), Segato (2018), Saffioti (2015). A partir das contribuições de Minayo (2012), em diálogo com as fontes da pesquisa, construímos unidades de sentido. Nesse artigo damos destaque a duas delas: as Marcas do patriarcado na universidade e a Formação humana como antídoto: perspectivas de uma universidade feminista. Nossas reflexões também se apoiam em uma perspectiva feminista crítica e analítica que compreende a existência de três sistemas de dominação combinados: o patriarcado, o racismo e o capitalismo.

Human formation and university: feminist contributions from the students’ self-organization Abstract: This article presents contributions from self-organized feminist students in the university and in the student movement, from feminist collectives, in student organizations and in the Women Students Encounters (EME) of the National Union of Students (UNE). The contributions come from six interviews conducted with UNE women directors from 2002 to 2015 and from the letters of the six EMEs that took place in the same period. From 2002, it is possible to perceive a feminist reorganization in the student movement and in the universities. The students’ spaces of self-organization help to think critically about the university and the education offered in it. We relate the students’ voices to the contributions of a set of referents such as Chauí (2001), Collins (2015), Santos (2019), Segato (2018), Saffioti (2015). Based on the contributions of Minayo (2012), in dialogue with the research sources, we constructed units of meaning. In this article we highlight two of them: The marks of patriarchy in the university and Human formation as an antidote: perspectives of a feminist university. Our reflections are also based on a critical and analytical feminist perspective that understands the existence of three combined systems of domination: patriarchy, racism and capitalism. Keywords: Human formation. Feminism. University. Students.

Resumen: En su libro Mujeres y discursos gerenciales. Hacia la autogestión feminista (2020), María Medina-Vicent aborda desde una perspectiva crítica feminista los discursos gerenciales dirigidos a las mujeres, desvelando el androcentrismo y la presencia —y perpetuación— de tradicionales roles y estereotipos de género en los modelos de gestión. Mi propuesta pretende incidir en dos aspectos del análisis realizado por Medina-Vicent, por un lado, remarcar los peligros de la despolitización de los discursos gerenciales dirigidos a mujeres —sobre todo en tanto que la literatura gerencial acaba por informarnos a todas—. Por otro, profundizar en la crítica que la autora realiza de la cooptación del feminismo por parte de estos discursos.
Abstract: In her book Mujeres y discursos gerenciales. Hacia la autogestión feminista (2020), Medina-Vicent approaches management discourses aimed at women from a critical feminist perspective, revealing the androcentrism and the presence and perpetuation of traditional gender roles and stereotypes in management models. My proposal aims to highlight two aspects of Medina-Vicent’s analysis: on the one hand, to highlight the dangers of depoliticizing management discourses aimed at women - especially insofar as management literature ends up informing us all. On the other hand, the author’s critique of the co-optation of feminism by these discourses will be explored in greater depth.

Full textAbstract:
The emerging set of discourses around women, nature, and the environment can be identified with the umbrella term environmental or ecological feminisms. In developing a geographical approach to environmental issues, a critical engagement with the questions raised by environmental feminisms is suggested. After a brief introduction to the principles of environmental feminisms for a geographical audience, three broad fields for future geographical work are outlined, namely: nature, culture, and gender; gendered relations of global development and environments; and gendered landscapes and identities. In particular it is argued that feminist and cultural geographical writing provides a critical opening for the further development of environmental feminist approaches.

Full textAbstract:
An exploration of the main theoretical contributions of the decolonial perspective and critical feminisms leads us to theoretical and epistemological discussions and proposals of Latin American and decolonial feminisms. The combination of these critical theories has allowed a change in the analytical perspectives implemented when researching the realities of women in Latin America, particularly the realities of indigenous, Afro-descendant, mestizao, mulatta and impoverished women. Furthermore, it has identified and questioned the proliferation of the discursive colonialism of hegemonic feminism, which hid the colonial history of the continent with its patriarchal, capitalist, Eurocentric and racist logics. This article proposes a bibliographical review that introduces fundamental concepts of Latin American and decolonial feminisms, such as gender coloniality. Furthermore, it presents some of the main contributions and discussions about gender organizations prior to colonization and the consequences of the implantation of modern/colonial patriarchy. In conclusion, this paper proposes several critical theoretical tools and categories useful for addressing research from a decolonial and Latin American feminist framework.

Full textAbstract:
The present study, grounded in the qualitative research paradigm, is an interpretive and explanatory analysis of Toni Morrison's fiction from the critical perspective of post structuralist feminist literary theory and fiction. In my reading of Toni Morrison's fiction as the manifestation/materialization of the knowledge in terms of discursive (re)configuration of women and to analyze their works from "feminine sentence" perspective, I have used Feminist poststructuralist theories in the discourse-theoretical/methodological background. As part of the methodology, this project draws extensively upon feminist theories, particularly those propounded by French Feminists Helene Cixous and Julia Kristeva, which I have used in the backdrop of discourse analysis methods proposed by Michel Foucault. This fusion of Feminist theories as a theoretical framework and discourse analysis as a methodology has illuminated systematically the process of the discursive formation, dissemination, and institutionalization of the knowledge about women. For my analysis of the discourse spectrum of the texts-to-be-analyzed, I have used extensively Foucault's notions about discourse and knowledge as discussed comprehensively in his books, articles, and interviews.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article proposes the possibilities of fermentation, or microbial transformation, as a material practice and speculative metaphor through which to approach today’s transnational feminisms. The author approaches this from the perspective of their multiyear curatorial experiment Fermenting Feminism, looking to multidisciplinary practices across the arts that bring together fermentation and feminism in dynamic ways. The article outlines ten ways in which fermentation is a ripe framework for approaching transinclusive, antiracist, countercolonial feminisms. As the author takes up these points, drawing from scholarly and artistic references alongside lived experience, they theorize the ways fermentation taps into the fizzy currents within critical and creative feminist practices. With its explosive, multisensory, and multispecies resonances fermentation becomes a provocation for contemporary transnational feminisms. Is feminism, with its etymological roots in the feminine, something worth preserving? In what ways might it be preserved, and in what ways might it be transformed? The author proposes that fermentation is a generative metaphor, a material practice, and a microbiological process through which feminisms might be reenergized—through symbiotic cultures of feminisms, fermentation prompts fizzy change with the simultaneity of preservation and transformation, futurity and decay.

Full textAbstract:
Economic analysis is a highly influential theoretical approach to contract law. At the same time, feminist analysis of contract law offers an important critical approach to the field. However, feminist economics, a prominent alternative approach to mainstream neo-classical economics drawing from both economic theory and feminist theory, has only been applied scarcely and sporadically to contract law. This Article seeks to bridge this gap and to apply the key features of feminist economics to an analysis of the doctrine of promissory estoppel. This Article uses promissory estoppel as an example to demonstrate a feminist economic analysis of contract law.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The trajectories of migration and prostitution are embedded in representations of body, gender, sex and sexuality. This article seeks to understand the articulation between migration and sex work through the lens of gender. To this end, this article relies on a typological approach that aims to clear some ground in the ongoing debate on the issues of prostitution, sex trafficking and migration of sex workers. It explores the theoretical cross-contribution as well as the conceptual limitations of radical, liberal, post-colonial, critical and postmodern feminist perspectives on the issues of prostitution, sex workers’ mobility and sex trafficking. It gives special focus to the contributions of the postmodern feminist reading, especially by highlighting how it has challenged conventional feminist theories, hitherto grounded in dualistic structures. In fact, the postmodern feminist approach makes a stand against the simplistic dichotomies such as First/Third World, passivity/agency, vulnerability/empowerment, innocence/conscience, sexual trafficking/voluntary prostitution or ‘trafficked victim’/‘autonomous sex worker.’ As such, postmodern feminism disrupts all fixed demarcations and homogeneous forms of categorisation on which the dominant feminist theories were based, allowing thus for the emergence of new practices of subjectivity as well as new forms of flexible identities.

Full textAbstract:
Prostitution is a phenomenon in people's lives and is considered a "social problem". The condition of women as objects also appears in literary works, as a reflection of the perception of their society. Therefore, studies are needed in the perspective of feminism, especially radical feminists to explore the issue of prostitution that occurs in women. Feminist Literary Critical Approach is carried out in this study with the type of qualitative research. Data were collected from female sex worker informants and formal figures with in-depth interview techniques and field data observations.

This paper aims to explore ideas, principles, and demands of Islamic feminism. In this article, the term Islamic feminism includes interpretations of the Quran and the hadith in women?s perspective as well as practices based on these interpretations that are dedicated to the struggle against widespread patriarchal values and norms, in public and in private sphere. In the first part of this paper, the author presents a brief review of feminist ideas and movements in order to contextualize development of Islamic feminism. The second part provides main insights from gender-sensitive interpretations of the Quran and activist contributions induced by these interpretations. The third part is devoted to the investigation of the relationship between Islamic feminism and other feminist approaches.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the changing nature of Austen's reception in China since the 1950s, in particular the growth of feminist critical approaches to her work among contemporary Chinese scholars. Among Austen's works, Pride and Prejudice has remained at the centre of scholarly and popular attention and has had a major impact on Chinese readers’ view of Austen as a feminist writer. Anglo-American scholarship commonly considers Austen's feminism in relation with her contemporary Mary Wollstonecraft's feminist thought. Unfamiliar with Wollstonecraft, Chinese scholars and general readers tend to read Austen rather differently, and their exploration of her engagement with ‘the woman question’ is instead closely connected with the development of Marxism and gender studies in contemporary China.

Abstract This article reads The Second Sex from the perspective of transmasculinity, using gender dysphoria as a critical approach. Following the threads of an intergenerational history of feminist and queer thinkers, the author is led to examine the particular position of trans men regarding feminism. How does one acknowledge that the category of woman is rooted in oppression without failing to support those who align with it? The true legacy of The Second Sex is a feminist transmasculine ethics.

Full textAbstract:
The principled approach to theory building that has been a conspicuous mark of bioethical theory for the past generation has in recent years fallen under considerable critical scrutiny. Although some critics have confined themselves to reordering the dominant principles, others have rejected a principled approach entirely and turned to alternative paradigms. Prominent among critics are antiprin-ciplists, who want to jettison the principle-based approach altogether and adopt a casuistic (case-specific) model, and communitarians, who favor an eclectic model combining features of both the casuistic model and a modified principled approach. Particularly conspicuous in virtually all such critiques is their challenge to the preeminence of the principle of autonomy. Critical barbs have been aimed not only at theories favoring a hierarchical ordering of moral principles that give first place to autonomy, but also at those that include autonomy among a set of ostensibly coequal principles. Though these critics have performed a valued function by displacing bioethical principles from their Olympian perch beyond actual decision-making contexts, some version of the principle of autonomy may, nonetheless, be well worth defending but for very different reasons than those put forward by its supporters.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the history of development and basic ideas of Islamic feminist hermeneutics. In order to understand tendencies of development of the modern Islamic thought, it is important as well to study feminist ideas in their complexity. The author argues that feminist hermeneutics in Islam represents a set of approaches towards the interpretation of the Holy Qur’an, the Hadith and secondary sources of Islamic spiritual tradition. In the typological perspective, it is close to the so-called “Standpoint feminism”. The author singles out seven basic features to Islamic feminist hermeneutics, which are the religious frame of mind, following the principles of Islamic ethics, the use of so-called “contextual ijtihad”, accepting the egalitarist values, the critical approach to tradition, the critical approach towards the Hadith, use of the new methodology, which has its roots in the heritage of Neomodernist school of thought.

Full textAbstract:
The assumption of universal human developmental tasks is central to Erikson’s influential Eight Stages of Man. While grand developmental theories have been strongly critiqued from a feminist perspective, it is necessary for feminists to also consider the implications of Erikson’s theory from a critical disability perspective. Applications of Erikson’s theory have claimed that disabled people experience stagnated development because they are unable to complete the achievements required for full participation in adulthood. However, we argue that the positioning of disabled people as diminished adults is open to question, as it is based on narrowly defined notions of “autonomy”, “industry” and “initiative”. Additionally, constructions of disabled adults as “dependent” or “vulnerable” render invisible the systematic exclusion of disabled people from social and economic opportunities. Human service workers who adopt normative developmental understandings may not realize the potential for “well-intentioned” disability services to cause harm through paternalism and a culture of low expectations. It is essential that universalized models of adulthood are deconstructed from both feminist and critical disability perspectives, in order to locate, understand and celebrate diverse developmental experiences. We offer some ideas about how this deconstruction might be enacted within a university education context.

Full textAbstract:
Much has been argued within the fertile critical field of feminism in the second half of the twentieth century. With the advantage of distance from the twenty-first century, we can now gain a certain perspective on the general context of production and reception of feminist criticism as it becomes embodied in new myths that subvert the old phallogocentric ones. My approach intends to start a dialogue between such embodiments (mainly in the work of Cixous, Hayles, de Beauvoir, and Haraway) and Karen Barad’s agential materialism, using her critical construct of “phenomenon” as an instrument to understand the feminist paradigm in the post-human context and proposing accountable diffractive intra-action as an alternative to naturalized constructs.

Full textAbstract:
What is distinctive about a feminist analysis of law? Conversely, what does it mean to characterize the law (or a law) as distinctively “male” as a way of criticizing its injustice? It is widely assumed by both feminist scholars and nonfeminists or curious onlookers that a feminist analysis of law must have distinctive features that set it off from mainstream/“malestream” theories of law. Feminist scholars often try to “sell” feminist analysis to interested newcomers and try to break down the recalcitrance of those who seem to want to marginalize and dismiss it precisely by claiming a difference of perspective for feminist analysis of which no well-educated lawyer or legal commentator can afford to be ignorant. Meanwhile, feminist claims are also challenged by those who think they can reach the same conclusion on independent grounds for therefore not being distinctively feminist; “What makes that particularly feminist?” the communitarian, for example, will ask, faced with an argument that feminism is critical of the individualistic bias of the legal system.

Full textAbstract:
Kathleen McHugh explores the complex functions of women’s anger in the work and aesthetic circuitry—culture, texts, audience, reviewers—of contemporary feminist filmmakers. For all its ubiquity as a feminist feeling, anger has been little considered critically. While 1970s white theorists of feminine/feminist film aesthetics did not mention anger, feminist lesbian, materialist, and women-of-color critics lamented its absence. Julie Dash’s 1982 Illusions inaugurated an aesthetics of anger from a Black feminist perspective that exemplified the ideas in Audre Lorde’s foundational 1981 essay, “The Uses of Anger.” Drawing from Lorde’s and Sara Ahmed’s ideas about the creative value of feminist anger, together with recent affect theory on “reparative reading” and “better stories,” the essay explores four contemporary directors’ films and media works for how anger shapes their texts and critical reception and cultivates a mode of affective witness in their audiences.

The diverse collection of short reflections included in this Critical Perspectives section looks to continue a conversation—a conversation that played out in the pages of this journal (Elias 2015) regarding the relationship between two strands of feminist international relations scholarship: feminist security studies (FSS) and feminist international political economy (IPE). In this forum, the contributors return to some of the same ground, but in doing so, they bring in new concerns and agendas. New empirical sites of thinking through the nexus between security and political economy from a feminist perspective are explored: war, women's lives in postconflict societies, and international security governance institutions and practices.

Full textAbstract:
The debate on feminism and ‘religion’ has rarely been suggested as a critique of modernity that has silenced other possible cultural, epistemological and spiritual options. Efforts have been made to ascertain whether ‘religion’ is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for – or indeed an ally or threat to – women’s liberation. More specifically, in a European context, contemporary discussions of ‘religion’ and the rights of women have been very much centred on Islam. Yet, none of these narratives have resolved the intrinsic colonial character of modernity. This article explores the debate on both Islamic and Western feminism from a decolonial perspective. It argues that today, feminist theory faces the tremendous challenge of how to encounter the colonial and not only redefine, but also review the concepts and categories upon which Western feminism bases its arguments. Drawing on the work of the Spanish-Syrian Islamic decolonial thinker, Sirin Adlbi Sibai, this article develops a critical, self-reflexive approach that questions secular assumptions regarding feminist analyses of ‘religion’. In doing so, I present the decolonising of feminism as an invitation to (re)imagine our feminist encounters.

DOI 10.33052/2525-7668As duas faces do dossiê deste número da Revista Interritórios, feminismos e educação, aproximam-se não só como movimentos transformadores, mas também como elaborações teórico-críticas que permeiam fortemente o imaginário social. Por um lado, os processos educativos compreendidos na chave da redenção, da possibilidade de diminuir as abismais desigualdades sociais do país, podem também ser perpassados por uma perspectiva sexista, reproduzindo estruturas sociais de dominação masculina, com reforço às práticas da cultura patriarcal. Na contramão, tanto os movimentos sociais feministas quanto as epistemologias feministas denunciam essas dinâmicas e propõem elaborações para que estes mesmos processos educativos agentes das desigualdades de gênero, possam ser articulados, em sua perspectiva formal e não formal, para a desconstrução das estruturas patriarcais que atingem mulheres (e homens) em toda a sua diversidade. Desse encontro entre luta política, produção acadêmica e pedagogias diversas, surgem as contribuições deste dossiê. Feminism and educationThe two faces of this issue of Revista Interritórios, feminismos y educación, approach not only as transformative movements, but also as theoretical-critical elaborations that permeate the social imaginary. On the one hand, the educational processes included in the key to redemption, the possibility of reducing the country's abysmal social inequalities, can also be crossed by a sexist perspective, reproducing social structures of male domination, reinforcing the practices of patriarchal culture. On the contrary, both feminist social movements and feminist epistemologies denounce these dynamics and propose elaborations so that these same educational processes, agents of gender inequalities, can be articulated, in their formal and non-formal perspective, to the deconstruction of the patriarchal structures that reach women (and men) in all their diversity. From this encounter between political struggle, academic production and various pedagogies, the contributions of this dossier arise.

Full textAbstract:
Feminist research methodologies seek to conduct research that aligns with the political and social project of feminism. These research methodologies specifically focus on women's voice, experiences, and contributions, center a feminist perspective and adopt premises and assumptions of a feminist worldview. Some of these premises—raising critical consciousness, encouraging social change, and emphasizing a diversity of human experience related to gender at the intersection of race, sexuality, and other categories of identity—align with the premises and assumptions of queer theory. Since both feminist and queer research methods aim to centralize the experiences of people marginalized under racist, sexist, heterosexist, patriarchal, and imperialist conditions, both methods seek decentralization of and liberation from such experiences in research methodologies. While this paper will briefly discuss these important points of alignment between feminist methods and queer theory, the main purpose will be to distinguish these two broad approaches and to outline what queer theory additionally brings to the table.

To explore environmental literature from a feminist perspective, a large diversity of feminist eco-critical approaches to affirm the continuing contribution, it is necessary and relevant to present a feminist perspective in environmental literature, culture, and science. Feminist ecocriticism is considered as a substantial history that defines women's environmental writing and social change activism with the eco-cultural critic. This research mainly defines the connection of the feminist vision of eco-criticism by taking the international and national perception against gender biases and women critics. The main purpose of the study is the elaboration of ecocriticism for environmental justice against gender biases and women’s critics.

To bring changes in the society, the role of courageous women and their sacrifices are always to be recognised though many a times, it is seen that they are deprived of it and are rather exploited. Jane Austen is alleged to be such a woman. Six of her novels, concerned basically with the themes of love, marriage and wealth show many progressive notes here and there in the respective texts. They vividly depict the life led by and psychology revealed by women in that age. Apart from that, these texts also reveal the author’s feminine realization and thoughtful propositions. Feminist policy of the Victorian Era is shown in novels like Pride and Prejudice and Emma. In first half of the nineteenth century, also known as the Romantic Age, Jane Austen is acclaimed as one of the most reasonable and artistically perfect writers of narratives as her novels are acknowledged by readers world-wide. She has produced diverse woman characters with unlike individualities and knowledge in her work. Her stories show that women protagonists start to follow their true love despite various challenges from society, public stigma and differences in class, strata, social and monetary status which symbolize female self-awareness and sense of self-dignity. The present paper puts forth a critical analysis of Austen’s work in the context of feminist ideology.

This article focuses on the gap and conflicts in Italy between the so-called ‘historical feminists’ of the 1960s and 1970s, and the generation of young women who entered the public and political arena from 1990 onwards. It discusses the absence of a critical and self-critical perspective within the Italian historical feminist tradition, the various political conflicts that emerged before and during the Berlusconi right-wing government at the beginning of 2000 and the absence of an active visible presence of young women in the media and in politics.

Full textAbstract:
The article reviews the historical dynamics of the conceptualization of human beauty in feminist thought throughout the 20th century. The article proposes a comparative and critical analysis of the texts, which represent certain stages and the characteristic modes of feminist theory in the most concentrated form. The author selected from the first wave of feminism Alexandra Kollontai, who also represents the Marxist theory; from the second wave, Simone dе Beauvoir, who plays a key role in the development of feminism; and from the third wave, Naomi Wolf, who draws attention to the human beauty for both research and revolutionary “ideological” perspective. It is argued that the trend of such research attention of the feminist approach shows that it is becoming more and more concentrated on the moment of the concept, which is reduced only to the function of human beauty in social life. Therefore, the sensuous experience of human beauty is limited exclusively to the subjective and false perception, which, in fact, brings about the losing its own truth.

Full textAbstract:
In 2015 the European Union (EU) Commission published the EU’s Framework on Support to Transitional Justice, its long-anticipated first policy document which exclusively discusses the EU’s conceptualization of and approach towards transitional justice. This article examines this document from a gender perspective situating the analysis within the emerging body of critical feminist literature on involvement of the international community in support for gendered transitional justice and peacebuilding within the framework of the UN’s Women, Peace and Security agenda. It concludes that the EU’s explicit commitment to gender mainstreaming in its approach towards transitional justice without the subsequent development of a clear strategy to achieve the stated goals fits within a broader international tendency and that in order to advance feminist research in the field of EU, gender and transitional justice scholars should build on the emerging body of research regarding the instrumentalization of feminism for international security goals by infusing it with insights from critical (feminist) global political economy research, which inquires the relations between international interventions and the economic interests of dominant international actors.

Full textAbstract:
Age has become a crucial factor in labour market regulation measures adopted in Poland in recent years. Inspired by the Europe 2020 strategy of ‘smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’, Poland’s own long-term development plans, especially those adopted by the former Civic Platform-led administration, place a significant emphasis on extended working lives as essential to economic sustainability. Due to low employment rates among Poland’s senior age cohorts, and the shortfall between the actual and statutory age of retirement, many of the country’s Active Aging measures have focused primarily on employment activation of workers over the age 50. The supply-side activation techniques and demand-side incentives, combined with pension system reforms, have been the key measures designed to encourage longer working lives. However, there is a need to consider the extent to which these measures are achievable and adequate. From a feminist, socio-legal perspective, this article critically evaluates Poland’s Active Aging policy and reforms by locating them at the intersection of the transformation and restructuring of the Polish welfare state and the re-regulation of the country’s labour market according to neoliberal values. Two key points of interest, or sources of tension, are identified: the extent to which efforts to bolster older people’s employment participation take adequate account of labour market conditions, and the roles that older people play in the provision of care and other activities involved in the maintenance of living standards. As the article shows, the potentially negative consequences of this policy trajectory for the well-being of older people in and out of the labour market, and for the organization of care and the broader processes of social reproduction, though potentially exacerbated by current policies, have tended to be downplayed in policy and legal reform.

In this introductory article to the special issue Women and War in Kurdistan, we connect our topic to feminist theory, to anthropological theory on war and conflict and their long-term consequences, and to theory on gender, nation and (visual) representation. We investigate Kurdish women’s victimisation and marginalisation, but also their resistance and agency as female combatants and women activists, their portrayal by media and scholars, and their self-representation. We offer herewith a critical perspective on militarisation, women’s liberation, and women’s experiences in times of war and peace. We also introduce the five articles in this issue and discuss how they contribute to the study of women and war in two main areas: the wide-reaching effects of war on women’s lives, and the gendered representation and images of war in Kurdistan.

This is a literary study which analyses poetic works produced by Zimbabwe Women Writers. It seeks to establish the position of women as far as articulation of their emancipation and empowerment is concerned. This is done in the light of the fact that Zimbabwe Women Writers is an organisation which represents both the achievements of women and an arena for women to speak out. The Ndebele anthology Inkondlo (1998) is analysed and in the course of the analysis, Spivak’s (1988) argument of the woman being a subaltern who cannot speak is interrogated. It is the author’s submission that contributions in the anthology Inkondlo actually deconstruct the feminist way of thinking which guides the publisher.

Resumen: La teoría feminista ha cruzado su miradaa la pornografía como fenómeno cultural con laperspectiva de género, construyendo una crítica particularque está lejos de ser uniforme y toma mejor elcarácter de un debate. Dicho debate se enmarca en unomás amplio que ha sido descrito por algunas autorascomo la tensión placer – peligro que subyace a lasexualidad femenina. Sus orígenes más claros tienen lugaren Estados Unidos a finales de los setenta y comienzosde los ochenta del siglo XX, favorecido por el carácterde fenómeno de masas que cobra allí la pornografía, ylas primeras respuestas explícitamente abolicionistas alas que se ve enfrentada. Dentro del feminismo estadounidense,surge por aquel entonces una fracción importanteque se manifiesta en contra de la pornografía, a laque define como violencia contra las mujeres en sí misma.A la par, y como respuesta a la campaña abolicionistade dichas antipornógrafas, otro grueso sector feministaseñalará los riesgos de dicha postura, desvirtuando lapretendida conexión entre pornografía y violenciacontra las mujeres. Recrear los principales argumentosde ambas partes es el objetivo de este artículo.Palabras Clave: Feminismo, pornografía, sexualidad,pro-Sex, antipornógrafas.Abstract: Feminist theory approached pornographyas a cultural phenomenon from the gender perspective,building a specific critical discourse that, far from beinguniform, has more the nature of a debate. This debate ispart of a bigger one that some authors have described asthe pleasure - danger tension that underlies femininesexuality. Its most evident origins are in the United Statesof the seventies and eighties, when pornography becamea mass phenomenon and the first reactions it faced wereexplicitly abolitionist. At that time an important fractionof the American feminist movement rose againstpornography, which it defined as violence againstwomen. At the same time, as a response to the abolitionistcampaign of the «anti-pornographers», anothersubstantial feminist sector stressed the risks of suchposture, criticizing the supposed link between pornographyand violence. The scope of this article is to exposethe main arguments that each side employed in thisdebate.Key words: Feminism, pornography, sexuality, pro-Sex, anti-pornography

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to present a means to utilise elements of post-modern theory in the process of renewing class analysis, to a point where the historic conflicts between class theory and feminism dissolve. In other words, I call for a post-modernist-inspired feminist and post- Marxist understanding of the class concept. From the multifaceted tradition of post-modernism, I have primarily applied the method of critical deconstruction of grand narratives, as well as its urge to question the classical dichotomy of structure/agent, economy/culture, and material reality/language. I start out by discussing the modern class narrative from the perspective of its founders, Karl Marx and Max Weber, and with a particular regard to the internal feminist critique directed towards it. I then move from Joan Acker, via Beverley Skeggs, to Nancy Fraser and Judith Butler. By way of reasoning with others feminists, past and present, I reach the conclusion that the most promising potential for reconciliation between feminism and class analysis is to be found in socialist radical feminism, especially with those who have put forward the important role of sexuality in the construction of the capitalist system. My conclusion is that we need a broader class narrative with a relevance for pre-/early-modern as well as late-/post-modern times, not predisposed to run in any given direction; including reproduction as much as production; status, culture, consumption and life style at the same time as hierarchy and conflict; counting both redistribution and recognition. From a post-Marxist perspective, class will be seen as a social construction – in the process of classifying groups, or in the way in which we talk and move in space – in a similar mode to the making of sexual difference or gender.

A crítica feminista elaborou a questão da representação na arte de diferentes maneiras. Nessa perspectiva crítica, um dos problemas são as imagens das mulheres feitas por um olhar masculino ao longo das narrativas tradicionais da história da arte. Respondendo a esse problema, algumas artistas realizaram ações para as câmeras de vídeo e fotografia. Nestas imagens, elas utilizaram o próprio corpo para demonstrar as construções ficcionais dos gêneros. Nesse artigo, analiso esses trabalhos pelas seguintes leituras: a crítica aos rituais de feminilidade, o feminino monstruoso e a identidade como categoria múltipla, tendo como marco teórico as contribuições de Janet Wolff e Jayne Wark.

In this article, I analyze these works through the following readings: the criticism of femininity rituals, the monstrous feminine and identity as a multiple category, having as a theoretical framework the contributions of Janet Wolff and Jayne Wark. I also rely on the artists' discourse about their work methods, based on unpublished interviews.Keywords: Representation. Body. Feminist criticism. Video. Photography.

Full textAbstract:
Research at the intersection of feminist organizational theory and techno-science scholarship notes the importance of gender in technology design, adoption, implementation, and use within organizations and how technology in the workplace shapes and is shaped by gender. While governments are committed to advancing gender equity in the workplace, feminist theory is rarely applied to the analysis of the use, adoption, and implementation of technology in government settings from the perspective of public managers and employees. In this paper, we argue that e-government research and practice can benefit from drawing from three streams of feminist research: 1) studying gender as a social construct, 2) researching gender bias in data, technology use, and design, and 3) assessing gendered representation in technology management. Drawing from feminist research, we offer six propositions and several research questions for advancing research on e-government and gender in public sector workplaces.

This qualitative research is carried out within the framework of literary and semiotic, fiction and history of the genre, animated movies. It is premised upon an explanatory and interpretative analysis of the chosen movie. The current research also evaluates the impact of water politics on the construction of individual identities. In addition, there search looks at issues of Eco feminism addressed in the movie. After watching the movie and reading the text of that movie, semiotical and close readings have been applied to explore the water politics,aqua politics, and Eco feminism. The study concludes that in the contemporary technological advance area in which other than super-power of the world, like America, Russia and China, the other less powerful yet potentially threatening countries of the world that possess weapons of mass destruction can prove highly dangerous for the world peace and, while the water resources are assuming prime importance in developing the energy resources of different countries.

Os estudos de(s)coloniais e os estudos feministas interseccionais são teorias críticas que abordam a questão das diferenças pensando-as em articulação com as forças de subjetivação que descorporificam nossa relação com o mundo. Cada vez mais as artes da cena se mostram interessadas em refletir sobre si mesmas desde uma perspectiva corporificada, onde a subjetividade e a singularidade do corpo de quem compõe a cena estão presentes. Assim, pensar os processos criativos da cena contemporânea em articulação com estudos e pedagogias descoloniais e feministas possibilitaria que tais processos criativos adensassem questões de gênero, sexualidade, raça, etnia, classe, entre outras, que surgem com agudez em processos que reconhecem que vidas vivem em corpos e que visam trabalhar desde uma política de afetos.
ABSTRACT
The decolonial studies and intersectional feminist studies are critical theories that approach difference issues thinking them in articulation with the subjective forces that disembodies our relations to the world. Increasingly the arts scene show interest in reflecting about themselves from an embodied perspective where subjectivity and the singularity of the perfomers body are present. To think the creative processes of contemporary scene in articulation with feminists and decolonial pedagogies allows those creative processes to thicken issues related to gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, among others, issues that come up sharpness in processes that recognize that lives are liven in bodies and that aim to work from the politics of affection.
