WOMEN'S STUDIES LIBRARIAN EMINIST ERIODICALS A CURRENT LISTING OF CONTENTS VOLUME 18, NUMBER 2 SUMMER 1998 Published by Phyllis Holman Weisbard Women's Studies Librarian University of Wisconsin System 430 Memorial Library / 728 State Street Madison, Wisconsin 53706 (608) 263-5754 EMINIST ERIODICALS A CURRENT LISTING OF CONTENTS Volume 18, Number 2 Summer 1998 Periodical literature is the cUlling edge of women's scholarship, feminist theory, and much ofwomen's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing ofContents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicais. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast ofcurrent topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to ajournal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table ofcontents pages from current issues of major feministjournals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first pUblication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. U.S. sUbscription price(s). 4. Subscription address. 5. Current editor. 6. Editorial address (if different from sUbscription address). 7. International Standard Serials Number (ISSN). 8. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. 9. Locations where the journal is held in the UW System. 10. Publications in which the journal is indexed. 11. Subject focuslstatement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 11 are used to identify the different categories of information. ii. Our goal is to have represented in FP all English-language feminist periodicals with a substantial national or regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offerings. We do not include publications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with few exceptions, dowe include newsstand magazines. Weare also forced toomitperiodicals which lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist literature sorely needs. Interested readers will find morecomplete information on feminist periodicals in DWM:A DirectoryofWomen's Media published by the National Council for Research on Women (530 Broadway at Spring Street, NewYork, NY 10012); and in Women's Periodicals and Newspapers: A Union List of the Holdings of Madison Area Libraries, edited by James P. Danky, compiled by Maureen E. Hady, Barry Christopher, and Neill E. Strache (Boston: GK Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvements of Feminist Periodicals are gratefully received. We would particularly appre­ ciate assistance from readers in the UW-System with our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up to date. Please let us know about new subscriptions, sUbscriptions we have overlooked, cancellations, or other pertinent information. Feminist Periodicals is also available on microfilm at the library of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.

    Gagosian Gallery

    WSJ. Magazine April 25, 2013 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Now, Voyager Born and raised in Rhode Island, with studios in New York and Rotterdam, the artist Ellen Gallagher—now celebrated with simultaneous exhibitions on either side of the Atlantic—draws upon fact, fantasy and traces of her own meandering life. By Julie L. Belcove Photography by James Mollison BLUE HEAVEN | Gallagher in her studio in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with an untitled work in progress. The painting will be part of an exhibition of the artist's work at the New Museum in New York, opening in June. IT WOULD BE EASY to connect the dots of Ellen Gallagher's biography and come up with two different but equally inspiring story lines. In one account, Gallagher, the biracial daughter of an Irish-American mother and an African-American father, grows up to make art about the subtle but profound ways racial stereotypes pervade our culture. Another version has Gallagher, born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, a maritime city where whaling once thrived, shipping out aboard an Alaskan commercial fishing boat and later spending a college term living on a schooner, studying tiny water snails. Dividing her time between studios in New York and Rotterdam, another port city, she makes art that frequently takes the ocean and its centuries-old link to human migration, as a prime subject. Both plots lead to great critical acclaim, representation by the powerhouse Gagosian Gallery and exhibitions at some of the world's foremost museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art.

Courtesy the artist. Photo: Amunga Eshuchi. Right: The Otolith Group, Hydra Decapita (film still), 2010. Courtesy the artists New York, NY, July 9, 2013—This fall, The Studio Museum in Harlem is thrilled to present The Shadows Took Shape, a dynamic interdisciplinary exhibition exploring contemporary art through the lens of Afrofuturist aesthetics. Coined in 1994 by writer Mark Dery in his essay “Black to the Future,” the term “Afrofuturism” refers to a creative and intellectual genre that emerged as a strategy to explore science fiction, fantasy, magical realism and pan-Africanism. With roots in the avant-garde musical stylings of sonic innovator Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount, 1914–1993), Afrofuturism has been used by artists, writers and theorists as a way to prophesize the future, redefine the present and reconceptualize the past. The Shadows Took Shape will be one of the few major museum exhibitions to explore the ways in which this form of creative expression has been adopted internationally and highlight the range of work made over the past twenty-five years. On view at The Studio Museum in Harlem from November 14, 2013 to March 9, 2014, the exhibition draws its title from an obscure Sun Ra poem and a posthumously released series of recordings.

    Mathilde Pierre Weak Judicial Systems and Systematic Sexual Violence against Women and Girls: The Socially Constructed Vulnerability of Female Bodies in Haiti This thesis has been submitted on this day of April 16, 2018 in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the NYU Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts degree. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Professor Emily Bauman, who has guided me through every step in the year-long process of writing my thesis. The time and energy she invested in thoroughly reading and commenting on my work, in recommending other avenues of further research, and in pushing me to deepen my analysis were truly invaluable. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Joyce Apsel who, although abroad in Florence, Italy, set aside time to speak with me over Skype, to comment on my rough draft, and to advise me on the approach of my argument in my thesis. I would additionally like to thank all of the individuals who set aside considerable time to meet with me for interviews in Port-au-Prince, most notably Attorney Claudy Gassant, Attorney Rosy Auguste, Attorney Marie Alice Belisaire, Attorney Giovanna Menard, Judge Jean Wilner Morin, Carol Pierre-Paul Jacob, Marie Yolaine Gilles, and Officer Guerson Joseph. Finally I extend a heartfelt thank you to my parents, Mathias and Gaëlle Pierre, who greatly assisted in connecting me with the individuals I interviewed and whose constant support and encouragement helped me to push through in the completion of my thesis. 1 ABSTRACT Widespread sexual violence against women and girls in Haiti is a phenomenon that largely persists due to a failure to prosecute male perpetrators and enforce the domestic and international laws that exist to criminalize rape.

This report is submitted by MADRE (an ECOSOC accredited NGO), KOFAVIV FAVILEK, KONAMAVID, Women’s Link Worldwide, and the International Women’s Human Rights Clinic, City University of New York School of Law. It focuses on the epidemic of gender-based violence in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in post-earthquake Haiti. I. Background and Context 2. Preventative measures within Haiti’s internally displaced persons (“IDP”) camps are critically lacking. In particular, the following issues exist: lack of adequate lighting; lack of private bathing facilities; lack of tents; and even for those with tents, utter lack of security, and lack of police presence. All of these risk factors have increased dramatically in post-earthquake Haiti, resulting in an epidemic of gender-based violence against Haitian women and girls. 3. Though official statistics are lacking, research demonstrates that after disasters and conflicts, women and children living in IDP camps are especially vulnerable to sexual violence and rape.

    Destabilizing the Sign: the Collage Work of Ellen Gallagher, Wangechi Mutu, and Mickalene Thomas”

    “Destabilizing the Sign: The Collage Work of Ellen Gallagher, Wangechi Mutu, and Mickalene Thomas” A Thesis submitted to the Art History Faculty of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning University of Cincinnati In candidacy for the degree of Masters of Arts in Art History Committee Members: Dr. Kimberly Paice (chair) Dr. Morgan Thomas Dr. Susan Aberth April 2013 by: Kara Swami B.A. May 2011, Bard College ABSTRACT This study focuses on the collage work of three living female artists of the African diaspora: Ellen Gallagher (b. 1965), Wangechi Mutu (b. 1972), and Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971). As artists dealing with themes of race and identity, the collage medium provides a site where Gallagher, Mutu, and Thomas communicate ideas about black visibility and representation in our postmodern society. Key in the study is theorizing the semiotic implications in their work, and how these artists employ cultural signs as indicators of identity that are mutable. Ellen Gallagher builds many of her collages on found magazine pages advertising wigs for black women in particular. She defaces the content of these pages by applying abstracted body parts, such as floating eyes and engorged lips, borrowed from black minstrel imagery. Through a process of abstraction and repetition, Gallagher exposes the arbitrariness of the sign—a theory posed by Ferdinand de Sausurre’s semiotic principles—and thereby destabilizes supposed fixity of racial imagery. Wangechi Mutu juxtaposes fragmented images from media sources to construct hybridized figures that are at once beautiful and grotesque. Mutu’s hybrid figures and juxtaposition of disparate images reveal the versatility of the sign and question essentialism.

    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIRs | Help 16 June 2011 HTI103716.FE Haiti: Violence against women and domestic violence; in particular, the protection, services and recourse offered to victims, particularly in Jérémie, Cayes and Gonaïves (2009 - March 2011) Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa In a report published in January 2011, Amnesty International (AI) notes that sexual and gender-based violence are "omnipresent" in Haiti, although women and girls were already at high risk of being raped or subjected to other forms of sexual violence prior to the earthquake (AI Jan. 2011, 4). Likewise, according to a January 2011 Human Rights Watch report, the rate of sexual violence prior to the earthquake was high, but conditions in the camps have made women and girls even more "vulnerable." An article published on 20 October 2010 by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) states that many women and girls have become even more "vulnerable" because they have been separated from their family and must live alone. The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women stated that she "... received numerous reports on the rise in violence against women and girls, in particular rape and domestic violence in IDP camps and elsewhere." However, the Rapporteur does not provide the timeframe for this increase in violence (UN 11 Oct. 2010, 6). Doctors without Borders (Médecins sans frontières, MSF) states that they have treated 212 victims of sexual violence between January and May 2010 (MSF July 2010, 19).

These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, "I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...Most of the pleas ure is in getting the last little piece perfect."

Its remit is to encourage research that challenges the stereotypes and assumptions of pathology that have often inhered to research on lesbians and gay men (amongst others). The aim of the Review is thus to facilitate discussion over the direction of lesbian and gay psychology in Australia, and to provide a forum within which academics, practitioners and lay people may publish. The Review is open to a broad range of material, and especially welcomes research, commentary and reviews that critically evaluate the status quo in regards to lesbian and gay issues.
