  • Between Rebellion and Coalition Building Lynne Segal
    1 TODAY, YESTERDAY & TOMORROW: between rebellion and coalition building Lynne Segal Times change, and with them accounts of what is more likely to be seen as politically achievable, or perhaps ridiculous. There is near consensus that Britain at present is facing an ever-deepening recession, with economists such as Will Hutton disclosing that the UK is suffering the worst economic performance since the nineteenth century, while its recovery from the height of the banking crisis has been amongst the slowest in the world. Even the IMF warns that the extent of government’s spending cuts and refusal to invest in the public sector is forestalling growth and risking permanent damage to the economy.1 Moreover, there is widespread awareness of the distressing effects of public sector cuts on the most vulnerable people in the UK, with women hit hardest by job cuts in the welfare system, and half a million people marching against the cuts in March 2011. Yet in the UK there is nowadays less political cohesion, hope, or anything like an agreed alternative vision between the different forms of resistance to this Tory-led coalition than there was when Margaret Thatcher was elected at the close of the 1970s. With the ethos of market forces so comprehensively triumphant over the last thirty years, fear eats the soul of the British left. Even the once widely approved word, ‘socialism’, to describe the goal of the radically egalitarian, democratic society many of us hoped to build back in the 1970s, has largely fallen into disuse. Back 2 then, it was the Women’s Liberation Movement that exerted the strongest influence on my life, and feminism generally has ever since remained a part of every political move I make.

The thesis explores how a selected sample of feminist activists used certain international human rights mechanisms and processes within the United Nations (UN) over a thirty-year period, from 1985 to 2015, to achieve women’s equality and human rights. The findings document the opinions and perceptions of forty-five feminist activists working in the transnational feminist movement. The written chapters situate the historical context of that thirty-year time frame within UN world conferences, outline the methodology of the research process and the making of the film, and share the research findings.

  • Ethnography and Queer Translation 72 EVREN SAVCI
    Queering Translation, Translating the Queer This groundbreaking work is one of the first book-length publications to critically engage in the emerging field of research on the queer aspects of translation and interpreting studies. The volume presents a variety of theo- retical and disciplinary perspectives through fourteen contributions from both established and up-and-coming scholars in the field to demonstrate the interconnectedness between translation and queer aspects of sex, gender, and identity. The book begins with the editors’ introduction on the state of the field, providing an overview of both current and developing lines of research, and builds on this foundation to look at this research more closely, grouped around three different sections: Queer Theorizing of Translation, Case Studies of Queer Translations and Translators, and Queer Activism and Translation. This interdisciplinary approach seeks not only to shed light on this promising field of research but also to promote cross-fertilization between these disciplines toward further exploring the intersections between queer studies and translation studies, making this volume key reading for students and scholars interested in translation studies, queer studies, poli- tics, activism, and gender and sexuality studies. Brian James Baer is Professor of Russian Translation in the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies at Kent State University.

  • Writing the Self In/After the Postmodern: Poppy and Heddyand Me
    Volume 25, number 2, October 1998 Margaret Henderson WRITING THE SELF IN/AFTER THE POSTMODERN: POPPY AND HEDDYAND ME Instead of representing a "truth," a "unity" or a "belongingness," a critical use of the self may come to emphasize the "historical conditions" involved in its speaking. Elspeth Probyn, Sexing the Self 28 A supposed "death of the subject" is a central tenet in the postmodern vocabulary of crisis, whether it be a dissolution of subjectivity by technology as in Jean Baudrillard, by consumer capitalism as in Fredric Jameson, or by a restructuring of gender relations as in Arthur Kroker. This essay, however, argues that the crisis may signal an expansion of certain epistemological, representational, and political positions available to women, as counter to postmodemism's subtext of loss. For the corpse is, of course, a particular version of subjectivity. When Foucault, among others, announced the death of "man" in The Order of Things, he was continuing a deconstruction of subjectivity begun by Nietzsche. Under attack is the Cartesian subject of bourgeois humanism- the unified, rational, coherent, and knowledgeable self, which is also assumed to be masculine. Nietzsche's Romantic philosophy which emphasises the irrational, and Freud's "discovery" of the unconscious seriously threatens the bourgeois conception of subjectivity. These early challenges have continued as some of the key theoretical approaches of postmodernism (psychoanalysis, feminism, and post- structuralism) have expanded and grown in influence, so that within the cultural space denoted by postmodernism, traditional humanist notions of subjectivity are problematised and largely discredited: "[t]he postmodern impulse tries to think or speak its way out of the (phallo)logocentric imprisonment of the subject in a hierarchy of encoded oppositions" (Barratt 222).
