Introduction: looking on, bouncing back.
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2008Co-Authors: Kokoli, Alexandra M.Abstract:Feminism Reframed: Reflections on Art and Difference addresses the ongoing dialogue between feminism, art history and visual culture from contemporary scholarly perspectives. Over the past thirty years, the critical interventions of feminist art historians in the academy, the press and the art world have not only politicised and transformed the themes, methods and conceptual tools of art history, but have also contributed to the emergence of new interdisciplinary areas of investigation, including notably that of visual culture. Although the impact of such fruitful transformations is indisputable, their exact contribution to contemporary scholarship and their changing function within the academy remains a matter for debate, not least because feminism itself has changed significantly since the Womens Liberation Movement. Side-stepping facile, vague and/or ideologically suspect formulations like postfeminism, this collection targets the relationships between past and present as well as among different strands of thought; it aims to offer a complex re-evaluation of different strands in feminist thought and practice around art and visual culture since the 1970s, highlighting continuities as well as points of disjunction. The essays in this volume, all previously unpublished, engage with the interpretative and conceptual models fashioned by feminist art history and visual cultural criticism from both historical and theoretical perspectives. The authors, most of whom are early career academics and emergent practising artists, explore the gaps and omissions of established methodologies and prevalent art historical narratives, while also recovering valuable tools and insights that may be redeployed in contemporary contexts and put to new uses. Inspired by the one-day conference Difference Reframed: Reflections on the Legacies of Feminist Art History and Visual Culture (16 September 2006, University of Sussex),1 this is a purposeful selection of considered responses to what the authors view as timely and pressing questions, including: What is the relevance of feminist art history to contemporary scholarship, curating, and art practice? If feminism itself works through/as revision, should second-wave strategies and concerns be further (or newly) revised? What has been the influence of feminist theory”and practice”on key notions like spectatorship, subjectivity, and performativity? Does theory have a history (and vice versa)? What forms do/can feminist politics and practice take

The Bermondsey by-election and leftist attitudes to homosexuality
Palgrave Macmillan, 2007Co-Authors: Robinson LucyAbstract:The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the politics of homosexuality acknowledged as never before. Of course the gay Liberation Movement impacted the lives and experiences of gay men at the time and since, but it also was a key player in transforming the definition of politics much more widely. Alongside the Womens Liberation Movement, by declaring the personal as political the gay Liberation Movement helped to reconceptualize the relationship between the public and private. However gay activists were to learn politicising the personal frequently meant personalising the political. The Bermondsey by-election of February 1983 and the treatment of the unsuccessful Labour candidate Peter Tatchell demonstrates the shifts and continuities in gay left politics from the Gay Liberation Front of the early 1970s to the outbreak of AIDS activism in the early 1980s. In it, despite Tatchell's focus on local and national public politics his political opponents merged his personal life with his Politics. Tatchell's lifestyle became a euphemism for a major politics rifts, between the right and the left, but more significantly within the left itself. Tatchell's experiences ultimately suggest how problematic redefining politics could be. Particularly it shows how rigid the understanding of `real men's' politics was across the political spectrum

Ms.(ing) power : a tool of feminist resistance
2019Co-Authors: Haring NicoleAbstract:Die zweite Welle des Feminismus erreichte gerade ihren Höhepunkt in den USA, als 1972 das Ms. Magazine veröffentlicht wurde. Ms. war das erste Magazin im Mainstream der Medien, das einen feministischen Standpunkt vertrat. Gedacht als offenes Forum für alle Frauen, folgte das Magazin dem Gedanken, dass das Persönliche weiblicher Erfahrungen sehr wohl politisch sei. Das Magazin gab daher weiblichen Narrativen jeglicher Art auch als Literatur eine Öffentlichkeit und formulierte so feministischen Widerstand. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit arbeitet heraus, dass das Ms.eine Stimme für die Stimmlosen darstellte und sich zum Ziel setzte durch das Publizieren weiblicher Stimmen der berichteten Machtlosigkeit der Frau entgegenzuwirken. Als Basis dafür dienen literarische Werke aus den Ms. Magazinen von 1972 und 1982: “The Hollow Woman” von Glenda Adams (1972),“Safe” von Mary Gordon (1982), “Like the Lions Tooth” von Marjoree Kellogg(1972), “Bodily Harm” von Margaret Atwood (1982), “Prima Gravida- A Not-So-Far-Out Fantasy of Reproductive Tyranny” von Dianne Sautter and Steven Feinberg (1982),sowie das Gedicht “A Conversation against Death” von Eve Merriam(1972). Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse stehen die Themen, anhand derer in den Texten feministische Positionen eingenommen wurden: der Zugriff von Macht auf den weiblichen Körper durch das feminine Ideal, die weiblichen Rollen, die häusliche Gewalt und die Haltung gegenüber Abtreibung. Die theoretische Grundlage bilden sowohl die Kontextualisierung des Magazins als auch die Sichtung der feministischen Theorien. Die darauf aufbauende Analyse legt dar, dass die Literatur in Ms. den feministischen Widerstand unterschiedlich repräsentiert. Dies lässt sich auf den historischen Kontext der Publikationen zurückführen. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass sich der persönliche Ton des Magazins auch in den literarischen Texten niederschlägt, wodurch die Wichtigkeit von Ms. als ein Sprachrohr des feministischen Protests unterstrichen wird.The Womens Liberation Movement was in full swing in the United States when in 1972, Ms. magazine was published. The first Womens magazine among the mainstream media that dared to articulate a feminist agenda was an immediate success. Functioning as an open-forum for women, the magazine pursued the notion of the “personal is political” and manifested its resistance in various female narratives including literature. This master thesis aims at demonstrating that Ms. magazine was providing a voice for the voiceless and was aiming to compensate the missing power women experienced in 1972 and 1982. The short stories from Ms. magazine “The Hollow Woman” by Glenda Adams (1972), “Safe” by Mary Gordon (1982), “Like the Lions Tooth” by Marjoree Kellogg (1972), “Bodily Harm” by Margaret Atwood (1982), “Prima Gravida- A Not-So-Far-Out Fantasy of Reproductive Tyranny” by Dianne Sautter and Steven Feinberg (1982), as well as the poem “A Conversation against Death” by Eve Merriam (1972) are used as the primary sources in this thesis. The notion of “femininity”, the ideas of female roles, domestic violence and harassment, and the topic of abortion are examined in the literature published in Ms. magazine. The theoretical framework used in the analysis explains the context of Ms. and significant theoretical concepts of feminist theory crucial for this thesis. The analyses reveals that the literature published in Ms. manifested its resistance partly differently due to its historical distinction. The personal tone the magazine encouraged is identifiable in all primary sources and demonstrates the importance of the magazine to function as a tool of feminist resistance that made up for the missing power women experienced in U.S.-American society in 1972 and 1982.vorgelegt von Nicole HaringZusammenfassungen in Deutsch und EnglischKarl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Masterarbeit, 2019(VLID)361967
