  • Chapter One Towards a Feminist Reading
    Chapter One Towards a Feminist Reading The advent of feminism as a global and revolutionary ideology has brought into the field of literary criticism new critical outlooks and modes of exegesis. The practice of reading of any literary text has become a site in the struggle for change in gender relations that prevail in society. A reading that is feminist aims at asking such rudimentary questions: how the text defines sexual questions, what it says about gender relations and how it represents women. In other words, feminist reading/criticism has come to be recognized as a political discourse: a critical and theoretical practice committed to the struggle against patriarchy and sexism. The influential feminist critic, Elaine Showalter points out that two factors - gender and politics- which are suppressed in the dominant models of reading gain prominence with the advent of a feminist perspective. In every area of critical reflection whether it is literary representations of sexual difference or the molding/shaping of literary genres by masculine values feminist criticism has established gender as a fundamental category of literary analysis. With ,gender as a tool of literary interpretation the issue of silencing of the female voice in the institutions of literature, criticism and theory has also come to the forefront. Appreciating the widespread importance of gender, feminist philosophers resist speaking in gender-neutral voice. They value women's experiences, interest, and seek to shift the position of women from object to one of subject and agent. 1 Moreover, it has been an important function of feminist criticism to redirect attention to personal and everyday experience of alienation and oppression of women (as reflected in literary texts).

  • 43 Elaine SHOWALTER: 'TOWARDS a FEMINIST POETICS'
    216 TWENTIETH·CENTURY LITERARY THEORY 43 ElAINE SHOWALTER: 'TOWARDS A FEMINIST POETICS' Feminist criticism can be divided into two distinct varieties. The first type is concerned with woman as reader - with woman as the con­ sumer of male-produced literature, and with the way in which the hypothesis of a female reader changes our apprehension of a given text, awakening us to the significance of its sexual codes. I shall call this kind of analysis the feminist critique, and like other kinds of critique it is a historically grounded inquiry which probes the ideo­ logical assumptions of literary phenomena. Its subjects include the images and stereotypes of women in literature, the omissions and misconceptions about women in criticism, and the fissures in male­ constructed literary history. It is also concerned with the exploita­ tion and manipulation of the female audience, especially in popular culture and film; and with the analysis of woman-as-sign in semiotic systems. The second type of feminist criticism is concerned with woman as writer - with woman as the producer of textual meaning, with the history, themes, genres and structures of literature by women. Its subjects include the psychodynamics of female creativity; linguistics and the problem of a female language; the trajectory of the individual or collective female literary career; literary history; and, of course, studies of particular writers and works. No term exists in English for such a specialised discourse, and so I have adapted the French term la gynocritique: 'gynocritics' (although the significance of the male pseudonym in the history of women's writing also suggested the term 'georgics').

My endeavor is occasioned by the nature of the misreadings following from that premise: on one hand, those that see Woolf's feminism as compromised by her perceived endorsement of "androgyny"; on the other, those that embrace "androgyny" as a viable approach to femal e authority. In particular, I take issue with the obviation of the narrative frames of A Room of One's own required to sustain such readings.

One is a verbal reading, according to which someone "writes" American women; another is adjectival, according to which American women write. The essays collected here take both approaches. Some are about women who write and about the biographical, editorial, historical, and geographical conditions informing that writing; others are about the way that women are represented by themselves and by others.

  • Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter
    Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter CATHERINE LORD “As far as I’m concerned, the guy was a fucking saint.”1 The fucking saint is Michel Foucault. The guy who wrote the sentence is David Halperin, whose Saint Foucault: Toward a Gay Hagiography is one of the most battered books in my library. I scribble and underline not because I revere Michel Foucault, or David, although I do, in different ways, but because I cannot resist a good polemic: Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis, for example, Malcolm X on white devils, and Yvonne Rainer’s No to everything she could think of in 1965. To write a polemic is a for- mal challenge. It is to connect the most miniscule of details with the widest of panoramas, to walk a tightrope between rage and reason, to insist that ideas are nothing but lived emotion, and vice versa. To write a polemic is to try to dig oneself out of the grave that is the margin, that already shrill, already colored, already feminized, already queered location in which words, any words, any com- bination of words are either symptoms of madness or proof incontrovertible of guilt by association. Halperin’s beatification of Foucault is a disciplined absur- dity, at once an evisceration of homophobia and an aria to the fashioning of a queer self. You don’t get to be a saint without pulling off a miracle or two. Foucault’s History of Sexuality was, says Halperin, the “single most important source of political 1. David M.

    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. In San Francisco, the flyers denounced “mass media images of the pretty, sexy, pas- sive, childlike vacuous woman.” See Ruth Rosen, The World Split Open: How the Modern Women’s Movement Changed America, 205. 2. For an account and criticism of the decline of civic participation and its conse- quences for politics, see Robert D. Putnam’s Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community. 3. Fewer single women than married women vote (52 percent as compared to 68 per- cent in the 2000 election), and more young women today are likely to be single. See “Women’s Voices, Women Vote: National Survey Polling Memo,” Lake, Snell, and Perry Associates, October 19, 2004. 4. Nancy Cott, The Grounding of Modern Feminism, 365, quoting Judy 1:1 (June 1919): 2:3. 5. Academics Deborah Rosenfelt and Judith Stacey are also credited for reintroducing the term “postfeminist” during this time. See their “Second Thoughts on the Sec- ond Wave,” 341–361. 6. Summers’s remarks were made at the NBER Conference on Diversifying the Science & Engineering Workforce in Cambridge, Massachusetts on January 14, 2005. At an industry conference in Toronto on October 21, 2005, French said, “Women don’t make it to the top because they don’t deserve to. They’re crap.” He added that women inevitably “wimp out and go suckle something.” See Tom Leonard, “Adver- tising Chief Loses Job over French Maid and Sexist Insults.” 7.

  • RUL Journal 2005.P65
    76 THE JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES “WHAT WOMEN CAN DO WHEN THEY PUT THEIR MINDS TO IT”:1 ELAINE SHOWALTER AND VIRAGO PRESS BY ELLEN GILBERT, CRYSTAL DECOTIIS, and TERESA SCHARTEL Ellen Gilbert is an adjunct lecturer in the Douglass Scholars Program and a member of the Princeton Research Forum; Crystal DeCotiis (Douglass ’05) and Teresa Schartel (Douglass ’05) are honors students in the Douglass Scholars Program. The Gift The distinguished literary critic Elaine Showalter made a new contribution to the universe of feminist scholarship during the summer of 2003. Showalter’s previous contributions to the field include, of course, the groundbreaking books A Literature of Their Own, Sexual Anarchy, and Inventing Herself, as well as dozens of articles and essays. This particular contribution, however, was in the form of a noteworthy book collection: a nearly complete set of first editions from the London-based, feminist publisher Virago Press. The Virago collection is not Showalter’s first gift to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; in 2002, she gave Rutgers her collection of nineteenth-century Victorian women’s novels and writings amassed when she was starting out as a young scholar.
