I a Current Listing of Contents I a current listing of contents Published by Susan Searing, Women's Studies Librarian-at-Large, University of Wisconsin System 112A Memorial Library 728 State Street Madison, Wisconsin 53706 (608) 263- 5754 a current listinn of contents ' Volume 3, Number 2, 1983 Periodical 1i terature is the cutting, edge of women's scholarship, feminist theory, and much of women's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listinq of Contents is published by the Office of the Women's Studies Librarian-at-Large on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasinq public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist periodicals wi 11 serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist 1i terature; to increase readers ' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to pro- vide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the 1 imitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materi a1 s .) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publ ication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated 1isting provides the following information on each journal : Year of first publ ication. Frequency of publication. U.S. subscription price(s). Subscription address. Current editor. Editori a1 address (if different from subscription address). International Standard Seri a1 s Number ( ISSN) . Library of Congress (LC) catalog card number. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. Locations where the journal is held in the UW system. Publications in which the journal is indexed. Subject focus/statement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identify the different categories of information. ii. Our goal is to have represented in FP all English-language feminist periodical s with a substantial national or regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offering. We do not in- clude pub1 ications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with the exception of -Ms., do we include newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicals 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 1i terature sorely needs. Interested readers will find more complete information on feminist periodicals in Guide to Women's Pub1 ishing, by Polly Joan and Andrea Chesman (Paradi se, CA: Dustbooks, 1978) ; The Annotated Guide to Women ' s Periodical s in the U.S. edited bi-annually by Terry Mehlman (5173 Turner Rd., Richmond, IN 47374); The Index/Directory of Women's Media published annually by the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (3306 Ross Place, NW, Washington, DC 20008); 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 Noona, and Neil E. Strache (Boston: G.K. Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvement of Feminist Periodicals are gratefully received. We would particularly appreciate assistance from readers in the UW-System with our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up-to-date. Pl ease 1et us know about new subscriptions, subscriptions we have over1 ooked, cancel lations, or other pertinent information.

    1 Missing from the Map: Feminist Theory and the Omission of Jewish Women Jennifer Roskies Researcher, ISGAP and Bar-Ilan University [email protected] The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series. Working Paper Roskies 2010 ISSN: 1940-610X © The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and PolicyISBN: 978-0-9819058-6-0 Series Editor Charles Asher Small ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second Floor New York, NY 10022 United States www.isgap.org 2 ABSTRACT This paper examines an apparent omission within feminist theory. Feminists of diverse cultural backgrounds have developed theoretical models which articulate their respective standpoints in relation to the sexism of their racial/ethnic groups on the one hand, and what has been termed “mainstream” or “white” feminism on the other. This is not the case when it comes to multicultural and ethnographic research regarding Jewish women, notwithstanding the involvement of many Jewish women in the feminist movement generally, including as leading theorists. Would a body of scholarship which examines Jewish women’s experiences from this dual perspective uncover a distinct theoretical model? How would such a “feminist Jewish women’s standpoint” address their concerns within the Jewish world as well as within the world of mainstream feminism – such as expressions within the mainstream women’s movement that pertain to Jewish issues or Israel? In examining the possible origins of the existing asymmetry, as well as its implications, this paper explores the possibility of adding new dimensions to understanding of multicultural feminism, identity studies and the study of Jewish identity.

  • Professor Bonnie Zimmerman Vice-President for Faculty Affairs September 7, 2010 Interviewed by Susan Resnik for San Diego State
    Professor Bonnie Zimmerman Vice-President for Faculty Affairs September 7, 2010 interviewed by Susan Resnik for San Diego State University 125:51 minutes of recording SUSAN RESNIK: Today is Tuesday, September 7, 2010. This Susan Resnik. I’m with Professor Bonnie Zimmerman in the offices of Special Collections and University Archives at San Diego State University. We’re going to conduct an oral history interview. This project is funded by the John and Jane Adams Grant for the Humanities. Professor Zimmerman retired this year from San Diego State University after a notable career in a variety of roles, beginning in 1978. From 2003 until this year, she was associate vice-president and led Faculty Affairs, having previously served as the chair of the university senate. She began as a lecturer in women’s studies in 1978, and became an associate professor of women’s studies from 1980 through ’83. In 1983 she became a professor. She taught courses, chaired theses, contributed to the syllabus, served as the chair of women’s studies from 1986 to 1992, and again from 1995 to 1997. For more than thirty years, through her research, teaching, and program development, she has fostered the growth of women and lesbian studies. She’s been an active member of the Modern Language Association and the National Women’s Studies Association, of which she served as president in 1998 and 1999. She has published extensively, including her books, Lesbian Histories and Cultures: An Encyclopedia; The New Lesbian Studies: Into the 21st Century; Professions of Desire; Lesbian and Gay Studies in Literature; and the Safe Sea of Women: Lesbian Fiction, 1969 to 1989.

  • Global Feminism, Comparatism, and the Master's Tools
    15 Compared to What? Global Feminism, Comparatism, and the Master's Tools SUSAN SNIADER LANSER And rain is the very thing that you, just now, do not want, for you are thinking of the hard and cold and dark and long days you spent working in North America (or, worse, Europe), earning some money so that you could stay in this place (Antigua) where the sun always shines and where the climate is deliciously hot and dry ...and since you are on your holiday, since you are a tourist, the thought of what it might be like for someone who had to live day in, day out in a place that suffers constantly from drought ...must never cross your mind. And you leave, and from afar you watch as we do to ourselves the very things you used to do to us. And you might feel that there was more to you than that, you might feel that you had understood the meaning of the Age of Enlightenment (though, as far as I can see, it has done you very little good); you loved knowl­ edge, and wherever you went you made sure to build a school, a library (yes, and in both of these places you distorted or erased my history and glorified your own). As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no doc­ umentation of complex civilisations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you.

  • Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-De-Siècle
    MODERNITY, MARGINALITY, AND REDEMPTION: GERMAN AND JEWISH IDENTITY AT THE FIN-DE-SIÈCLE Richard V. Benson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Jonathan Hess (Advisor) Dr. Jonathan Boyarin Dr. William Collins Donahue Dr. Eric Downing Dr. Clayton Koelb © 2009 Richard V. Benson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Richard Benson Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-de-Siècle (Under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Hess) Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-de-Siècle explores the literary, cultural, and historical process of negotiating German-Jewish identity following the radical restructuring of German-Jewish society during the nineteenth century. Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption considers the dynamic cultural roles that writers such as Karl Emil Franzos, Martin Buber, Jakob Wassermann, Theodor Herzl, and others assigned to the image of East European Jewry and of ghetto life, to Chassidic mysticism, and to messianic historical figures. I show that the works of these authors enact a self-conscious reinvention of Jewish tradition, which weds Enlightenment ideals with aspects of Jewish tradition that the Enlightenment had marginalized, while also engaging in dialogue with the most pressing discourses of fin-de-siècle European culture, in order to proffer Jewish identities that are neither strictly national nor simply religious. As I demonstrate, these texts establish Jewish identity as a central coordinate in debates about nationalism, the limits of language, phenomenology, social progress, and cultural degeneration.

  • The Artpolitics of May Stevens' Work: Disrupting the Distribution of The
    The Artpolitics of May Stevens’ work: disrupting the distribution of the sensible Abstract: In this paper I look into the life and art of May Stevens, an American working class woman, feminist and committed political activist. I am particularly interested in how Steven’s artwork is inextricably interwoven with her politics, constituting, as I will argue an assemblage of artpolitics. The discussion draws on Jacques Rancière’s analyses of the politics of aesthetics and particularly his notion of ‘the distribution of the sensible’. What I argue is that although Rancière’s approach to the politics of aesthetics illuminates an understanding and appreciation of Stevens’ art, his idea about the redistribution of the sensible is problematic. It is here that the notion of artpolitics as an assemblage opens up possibilities for a critical project that goes beyond the limitations of Rancière’s proposition. Key words: aesthetics, artpolitics, distribution of the sensible, narratives, women artists There’s an expression that I’ve used a lot, a quotation from Butler Yeats, who said that you have to choose between ‘perfection of the life, or of the work.’ I refuse to do that. I will not choose. (Hills, 2005: 11) In a series of in-depth conversations with Patricia Hill (2005), American artist May Stevens (1924-) rejects Yates’ suggestion above about the incompatibility of life and art and insists on keeping them together. It is this agonistic project of fusing life into art and art into life that I will discuss in this paper, focusing on a working class artist, feminist and politically committed activist, who erupted as an event in my overall project of writing a genealogy of the female self in art.

  • I. This Term Is Borrowed from the Title of Betty Friedan's Book, First
    Notes POST·WAR CONSERVATISM AND THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE I. This term is borrowed from the title of Betty Friedan's book, first published in 1963, in order not to confuse the post-Second World War ideology of women's role and place with such nineteenth-century terms as 'woman's sphere'. Although this volume owes to Freidan's book far more than its title, it does not necessarily agree with either its emphasis or its solutions. 2.

Degree awarded December 2014 ii © 2014 Kristin Joy Wilkes iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Kristin Joy Wilkes Doctor of Philosophy Department of English December 2014 Title: God and the Novel: Religion and Secularization in Antebellum American Fiction My dissertation argues that the study of antebellum American religious novels is hindered by the secularization narrative, the widely held conviction that modernity entails the decline of religion. Because this narrative has been refuted by the growing field of secularization theory and because the novel is associated with modernity, the novel form must be reexamined. Specifically, I challenge the common definition of the novel as a secular form. By investigating novels by Lydia Maria Child, Susan Warner, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Hannah Bond, I show that religion and the novel form are not opposed. In fact, scholars’ unexamined and unacknowledged definitions of religion and secularity cause imprecision.
