    470 POLITICS & GENDER, 9 (4) 2013 (Inter)disciplinary Trouble: Intersectionality, Narrative Analysis, and the Making of a New Political Science Nikol G. Alexander-Floyd, Rutgers University doi:10.1017/S1743923X13000317 Interdisciplinarity, like other words, such as neoliberalism or globalization, has wide but seemingly endlessly varied use. Indeed, it is often used indiscriminately to apply to everything from a change of focus that is outside the substantive content of a discipline to the radical reorientation of methods and methodology to the call to escape disciplinary confines altogether. As someone who had the good fortune to receive an interdisciplinary graduate education at Rutgers (Women and Politics, Public Law, and Africana Studies as subfields) and begin her career in an “interdisciplinary” unit (what eventually became, in fact, a Department of Interdisciplinary Studies), I am well acquainted with the many debates surrounding the much-touted, but also still too infrequent, trek of not only boundary crossers per se, but also those who live in borderland spaces that merge and, at times, blur disciplinary lines. As a radical Black feminist political scientist and lawyer, interdisciplinarity has been a vital necessity for both theory and practice. Rutgers provided an intellectual space in which interdisciplinary approaches were deemed critical to mapping a feminist political science. In this essay, I briefly share some of the possibilities opened up by interdisciplinary investigation and its central role in ushering in a new political science. As I have noted elsewhere (Alexander-Floyd 2004a), at its best, interdisciplinarity results in “(inter)disciplinary trouble,” in that it recognizes the reality of disciplinary boundaries — a disciplinary “matrix” (Butler 1990), if you will — and seeks to displace and disrupt traditional modes of knowledge production from within this context.

  • Welcome to Feminist Formations
    Welcome to Feminist Formations Rebecca Ropers-Huilman, Editor, and Adela C. Licona, Editorial Board President Welcome to the first issue ofFeminist Formations. We are proud and excited to present a renewed resource for those of us who are interested in and informed by feminist knowledge and action as they shape the fields of Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, and Sexuality Studies. When Rebecca wrote her editorial for the first issue of 2009, she primar- ily focused on changes external to Feminist Formations. Already at that time, though, changes were beginning to occur for the journal itself. First, over the summer, the editorial board changed the title from National Women’s Studies Association Journal to Feminist Formations. This new title more clearly matches our expanded focus. Specifically, we mean to signify that we encourage trans- national exploration of issues that relate to Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in a wide variety of contexts. Second, in conjunction with that title change, we developed a new mission: Feminist Formations (formerly the NWSA Journal [1988–2009]) cultivates a forum where feminists from around the world articulate research, theory, activism, teaching, and learning, thereby showcasing new feminist formations. An interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, we publish innovative work by scholars, activists, and practitioners in feminist, gender, and sexuality stud- ies. Our subject matter includes national, global, and transnational feminist thought and practice; the cultural and social politics of genders and sexualities; and historical and contemporary studies of gendered experience. The journal values established and emerging lines of inquiry and methods that engage the complexities of gender as implicated in forms of power such as race, ethnicity, class, nation, migration, ability, and religion.

  • INTERSECTIONALITY UNDONE Saving Intersectionality from Feminist Intersectionality Studies 1
    INTERSECTIONALITY UNDONE Saving Intersectionality from Feminist Intersectionality Studies 1 Sirma Bilge Département de sociologie, Université de Montréal Abstract This article identifies a set of power relations within contemporary feminist academic debates on intersectionality that work to “depoliticizing intersectionality,” neutralizing the critical potential of intersectionality for social justice-oriented change. At a time when intersectionality has received unprecedented international acclaim within feminist academic circles, a specifically disciplinary academic feminism in tune with the neoliberal knowledge economy engages in argumentative practices that reframe and undermine it. This article analyzes several specific trends in debate that neutralize the political potential of intersectionality, such as confining intersectionality to an academic exercise of metatheoretical contemplation, as well as “whitening intersectionality” through claims that intersectionality is “the brainchild of feminism” and requires a reformulated “broader genealogy of intersectionality.” Keywords: Intersectionality, Academic Feminism, Disciplinarity, Neoliberalism, Diver- sity, Postrace, Europe (Germany, France) INTRODUCTION This article identifies a set of power relations within contemporary feminist aca- demic debates on intersectionality that work to “depoliticizing intersectionality,” neutralizing the critical potential of intersectionality for social justice-oriented change. The overarching motivation behind the article is to explicate how intersectionality—

Caught Between Desire and Danger: Power, Agency and Emotion Work in American College Women’s Heterosexual Lives Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Law 2021 Chiara Elena Cooper | University of Edinburgh Abstract This empirical study, grounded in a feminist epistemology, analyses young, American college women’s reflections on their heterosexual lives. The context of these women’s heterosexual experiences provides a backdrop to explore how the phenomena of power, agency, and self- work emerge through and interplay with heterosexuality. Building on existing research on various aspects of women’s heterosexual lives (Fine, 1988; Holland et al, 1998; Tolman, 2002; Jackson and Cram, 2003; Powell, 2010; Beres and Farvid, 2010; Wade, 2017; Pickens and Braun, 2018), this study examines the ways that young women adhere to restrictive ideologies which dictate rules as to how to be a traditionally feminine woman and how heterosex ought to be experienced; but also how their accounts are able to, temporarily, rupture these oppressive power structures, as the women critically consider their capacity for agency and freedom.

  • Postfeminism and the New Cultural Life of Feminism
    Feminist Ghosts: The New Cultural Life of Feminism Issue 6 – 2016 | www.diffractions.net Postfeminism and the new cultural life of feminism Rosalind Gill City University London Over the past few years feminism has achieved a new luminosity in popular culture. Feminist books such as Lean In (Sandberg, 2013) and Unfinished Business (Slaughter, 2015) top the best-seller lists, glossy magazines launch ‘feminism issues’, musicians and other celebrities proudly proclaim their feminist identities, and stories about unequal pay or sexual harassment that would, a few years ago, have been dismissed as a ‘yawn’ – too boring to be reported – have become the stuff of newspaper headlines and primetime news broadcasts. Feminism is becoming ‘popular’ (Banet-Weiser, 2015), ‘cool’ (Valenti, 2014) and achieving a ‘new visibility’ (Keller & Ryan 2014). One way of reading this ‘new cultural life of feminism’ has been to suggest that critical notions like postfeminism may no longer hold force or have analytical purchase for this changed context. Diane Negra (2014: 275) notes that “we now need to inquire whether/how accounts of gender developed in an earlier era still apply”, whilst Retallack, Ringrose and Lawrence (2015) suggest the need to “interrogate some of the core ideas of postfeminism as theorised by media scholars”, arguing that postfeminism is “potentially redundant” in the light of “fourth wave” social media-based feminist activism. Catherine Lumby (2011) calls for scholars to move “past the post” and Imelda Whelehan (2010: 159) writes of her “frustration, boredom and ennui” with the term. In what follows I want to respond to this sense of disenchantment with the briefest defence of postfeminism that I frame – only partly in jest - as a “manifesto” for continued critical work using the term.

Weaving a Tapestry, Compassionately: Toward an Understanding of Young Women’s Feminisms Ruth Lewis and Susan Marine The article challenges representations of so-called third-wave feminist politics that have over-simplified the complex, multifaceted nature of young women’s feminism, and that, by relying upon written accounts, have overlooked the empirical reali- ties of “everyday” feminisms. While much scholarly attention has been paid to the “new femininities”—that is, how young women negotiate the contemporary gender order—as well as to the published work of relatively high-profile third-wave feminists, there are surprisingly few empirical

  • Am Ia Bad Feminist? Moments of Reflection and Negotiation In
    AM I A BAD FEMINIST? MOMENTS OF REFLECTION AND NEGOTIATION IN CONTEMPORARY FEMINIST IDENTITY Elizabeth Ryan Brownlow A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2020 Committee: Sandra Faulkner, Committee Chair George Bullerjahn Graduate Faculty Representative Susana Peña Jolie Sheffer ii ABSTRACT Sandra Faulkner, Committee Chair In 2014 Roxane Gay published Bad Feminist, a collection of personal essays written from her position as a Haitian American feminist academic. This work quickly skyrocketed in popularity across both academic and nonacademic audiences. Representative of the increasingly public-facing authoethnographic scholarship of feminist academic women, Gay’s work is a product of its time. For this dissertation, I examine Bad Feminist along with two other also wildly popular autoethnographic works produced in the same decade, Tressie McMillan Cotton’s Thick: And Other Essays and Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts. I examine these texts as public- facing, accessible works that communicate their academic feminist authors’ feelings of feminist inadequacy in order to address larger issues of feminist practice and theory. Utilizing Sara Ahmed’s theory of becoming feminist, I analyze the “bad feminist moments,” expressed in these texts as moments of feminist crisis to identify what causes them and what functions they might serve. Using qualitative methodological triangulation, better known as mixed-methods research, I employ topic modeling and content analysis across all three texts to identify patterns that reveal not only why and how academic feminists might feel like they are bad feminists, but how and why they choose to share the moments in which they feel like bad feminists with others.
