    ABSTRACT NINE STORIES FROM THE LAND OF FIXED GEARS AND LONELINESS by Catherine Marie Sayre This collection of inverted love stories and wry tales of family and friendship explores the ways the political intersects with the everyday, especially when unexpected. Most of the narratives unfold from the perspectives of young women whose lives refuse to conform to any typical bourgeois standards of adulthood. These voice-driven stories are playful with their tone, language, and subjects, and they use humor and absurdity as a method of exploring serious issues of human connections and misconnections.

  • Feminism for Sale: Commodity Feminism, Femininity, and Subjectivity
    FEMINISM FOR SALE: COMMODITY FEMINISM, FEMININITY, AND SUBJECTIVITY Julie Elizabeth Dowsett A Dissertation Submitted to The Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science York University Toronto, Ontario June 2014 © Julie Elizabeth Dowsett, 2014 ABSTRACT Today it is commonplace for the female consumer to be targeted using appropriated feminist discourses. This dissertation theorizes commodity feminism, a play on Marx’s conception of commodity fetishism, at the intersections of Marx/Marxism, feminist theory, and Freud/Freudianism. My method involves exploring a series of relationships through reading canonical and contemporary works of political theory and feminist theory. These relationships build upon one another in each chapter: the first relationship is between women and commodities, and to this relationship I add femininity, social control, and subject formation in sequence. In thinking through these relationships, I critique a variety of trade and scholarly marketing publications and marketing campaigns. I argue that the theory of commodity feminism provides a crucial, and as of yet unearthed, understanding of the contemporary relationship between women and commodities. I define commodity feminism as the commodification of feminist critique and praxis. In its cultural sense, commodity feminism is the broad phenomenon in which women are encouraged to express their empowerment by purchasing commodities. The politics of commodity feminism are both liberal and conservative. Commodity feminism is liberal in that it offers a type of resolution (however commodified) to the feminism/femininity tension and endorses liberal feminist politics of independence and self-determination. However, I argue that the view of society underpinning commodity feminism is conservative in that the masses are understood to be a problem in need of control.
