Extending bell hooks\u27 Feminist theory
Animo Repository, 2020Co-Authors: Biana, Hazel TionlocAbstract:In Feminist theory: from margin to center, Feminist Theorist bell hooks questioned the existing Feminist discourses during her time by pointing out the lack of a solid definition of feminism and the predominance of white, privileged Feminists in the movement. Although several other Feminist Theorists have made the same criticisms, what sets hooks apart is her invitation to a revolutionary Feminist outlook, which uses a pluralistic lens to recognize the absence of oppressed groups and the interrogation of cultural representations. Even before intersectionality became a buzzword in Feminist circles, hooks has already been talking about the interlocking webs of oppression, a concept that most Feminists associate with intersectionality. Despite her novel ideas though, most critics raise concerns about her inconsistencies, lack of methodology, and critical awareness. What I aim to do in this paper is to re-evaluate hooks and propose ways to address some of these supposed contradictions. To enrich hooks\u27 Feminist theory, I propose three main points: the emphasis on the crossing of borders, Feminist solidarity and global transgression. © 2020 Journal of International Women\u27s Studies

post postfeminism amelia bullmore s di and viv and rose april de angelis s jumpy and karin young s the awkward squad
Contemporary Theatre Review, 2014Co-Authors: Geraldine HarrisAbstract:In a 2013 essay analysing recent British, women-centred, television crime drama, eminent Feminist Theorist Charlotte Brunsdon suggests there is evidence that as a ‘generative sensibility’, postfeminism has peaked and is now waning. Discussions of postfeminism have been more prevalent in media studies but as both Janelle Reinelt (2006) and Elaine Aston (2010) have asserted in the field of ‘new writing’ for the theatre over the last decade or so, its impact has been evident through an overt lack of engagement with feminism. This article considers Brunsdon’s contention in relation to theatre through the analysis of three plays, Amelia Bullmore’s Di and Viv and Rose (2011), April De Angelis’s Jumpy (2011) and The Awkward Squad by Karin Young (2012), all of which refer back to feminism of the 1980s. Understood as part of a small but notable upsurge in cultural production that ‘re-visits’ and ‘re-claims’ aspects of this politics recent past often ignored, overlooked or rejected under the dominant postFeminist n...

Post-postfeminism?:Amelia Bullmore’s Di and Viv and Rose, April de Angelis’s Jumpy and Karin Young’s The Awkward Squad.
'Informa UK Limited', 2014Co-Authors: Harris GeraldineAbstract:In a 2013 essay analysing recent British, women-centred, television crime drama, eminent Feminist Theorist Charlotte Brunsdon suggests there is evidence that as a ‘generative sensibility’, postfeminism has peaked and is now waning. Discussions of postfeminism have been more prevalent in media studies but as both Janelle Reinelt (2006) and Elaine Aston (2010) have asserted in the field of ‘new writing’ for the theatre over the last decade or so, its impact has been evident through an overt lack of engagement with feminism. This article considers Brunsdon’s contention in relation to theatre through the analysis of three plays, Amelia Bullmore’s Di and Viv and Rose (2011), April De Angelis’s Jumpy (2011) and The Awkward Squad by Karin Young (2012), all of which refer back to feminism of the 1980s. Understood as part of a small but notable upsurge in cultural production that ‘re-visits’ and ‘re-claims’ aspects of this politics recent past often ignored, overlooked or rejected under the dominant postFeminist narrative, the success of these three plays can be perceived as part of a broader cultural moment in the UK in which feminism appears to be ‘fashionable’ again. As such, they offer the opportunity to learn some of the lessons not just of Feminist history but of historiography, in regard of what ‘stories’ are told about this politics past in the present and what alliances these might enable in the future

Molecular Feminisms : Biology, Becomings, and Life in the Lab
University of Washington Press, 2018Co-Authors: Deboleena RoyAbstract:"“Should Feminists clone?” “What do neurons think about?” “How can we learn from bacterial writing?” These and other provocative questions have long preoccupied neuroscientist, molecular biologist, and intrepid Feminist Theorist Deboleena Roy, who takes seriously the capabilities of lab “objects”—bacteria and other human, nonhuman, organic, and inorganic actants—in order to understand processes of becoming. In Molecular Feminisms, Roy investigates science as feminism at the lab bench, engaging in an interdisciplinary conversation between molecular biology, Deleuzian philosophies, posthumanism, and postcolonial and decolonial studies. She brings insights from Feminist theory together with lessons learned from bacteria, subcloning, and synthetic biology, arguing that renewed interest in matter and materiality must be accompanied by a Feminist rethinking of scientific research methods and techniques
