Examining Women's Non-Violent Power in Feminist Science Fiction SEARCHING FOR WONDER WOMEN: EXAMINING WOMEN'S NON-VIOLENT POWER IN FEMINIST SCIENCE FICTION Maria D. DeRose 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 May 2006 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Robert Buffington Graduate Faculty Representative Jeffrey A. Brown Lesa Lockford © 2006 Maria DeRose All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Searching for Wonder Women: Examining Women’s Non-violent Power in Feminist Science Fiction, examines how works of Feminist Science Fiction (from various media, especially literature, film, and television) can be used as engaged, critical pedagogical tools for teaching a wide variety of feminist and critical race theories concerning issues of power / empowerment and subjectivity. In each chapter, I describe how I have used particular FSF works in the classroom and how each one fosters discussion on the particular topic / issue. In Chapter I, “Examining Power, Violence, Masculinity and ‘Tough Girls,’” I deconstruct commonly held definitions of power (especially those with links to violence, patriarchy and hegemony) and demonstrate how works of FSF can encourage students to think about cultural power in relationship to the dispersal of resources. Through an analysis of Charmed, this chapter also displays the complexities of examining the links between violence and power. Chapter II, “Telling Our Stories: Women’s Voices in Feminist Science Fiction,” focuses on the power of language to construct alternate realities in opposition to non- inclusive, “dominant” cultural narratives, and also on storytelling as a means to literally “give voice” to marginalized groups. Chapter III, “‘The Women Men Don’t See:’ Women's Strategic Invisibility as Potential Empowerment,” analyzes stories of literal and metaphorical invisibility in order to discuss issues of women's subjectivity and voice, invisibility / hypervisibility through iv sexualization and objectification, and also “passing" as a member of the dominant race / gender / sexuality. Finally, my chapter “Ecofeminism as Anti-domination Activism” examines the “culture of domination” present in how cultural ideologies treat both women (and other marginalized groups) and the environment. Throughout my dissertation, I use personal narratives and references to students’ discussion comments in order to demonstrate how, after studying various feminist theories of media, identity, and voice, they all discovered their own non-violent source and definition of power. I use their stories and analyses to discuss society's potential to construct more diverse, inclusive definitions of power. v For Kevin vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS If it takes a village to raise a child, then I can certainly admit that it took an entire community at BGSU to get this dissertation completed. First, I’d like to say thank you to my committee. Thank you, Dr. Radhika Gajjala, for agreeing to take on a student you didn’t even know. Your advice and guidance certainly made this project what it is, but I am also so grateful for your belief in me and all the encouragement you have given me throughout the years. I may not have enjoyed the not-so-subtle pushing at the time, but it all helped just to know that you thought my work and I were ready for others to see. I’d also like to thank Dr. Jeff Brown for seeing potential in an early project and sticking with me (and it) for all this time. His classes prepared me to think about women’s roles in media and the place media has in society. I appreciate the space those classes gave me to work through various pieces of this project, even if I didn’t know they would make it into the dissertation at that point. To Dr. Lesa Lockford, I’d like to say “thank you for seeing something in me and not letting me get lost in the shadows.” Her confidence in me drove every project further than I thought it could ever go, and her attention to detail greatly benefited me, especially in the final editing stages of the writing process. Finally, I’d like to thank Dr. Rob Buffington who did so much more than just “put his time in” as the graduate representative, but rather put so much time and thought into his suggestions for me. Sometimes, the people who contribute the most to our academic success aren’t directly associated with that one dissertation project. Even though Dr. Jeannie Ludlow was never a member of my committee, she has been one of my greatest supporters since, literally, day one of my graduate school years. Jeannie, not only are you an amazing vii professor, teaching supervisor, and radical feminist extraordinaire, but you were a mentor, friend, and all-around “person I would like to be like when I grow up.” Your consistent advice, support and friendship has carried me through my time at BGSU, and your pedagogy class made a lasting impression on me as a teacher and even found its way into this dissertation. Dr. Mary Krueger, another feminist extraordinaire, mentor and friend, allowed me to be a part of BGSU’s amazing Women’s Center staff and supported every step of my dissertation writing, teaching, job search, and retention of my sanity. Mary, I don’t know where I would be without your daily affirmations, support and humor. Others who have given me their time, support, and friendship include: The Women’s Dissertation Writing Support Group. I am so honored to be a small part of this group which has seen so many talented women succeed. Those who finished before I was an official member provided an “of course we can do it” atmosphere. Those in the group with me, especially Dr. Teresa Karparick-Postellon and Tracy Barton, pushed, pulled, and carried me through the really difficult points of the writing process. Life support members: thank you to all of those friends who loaned me books, cajoled me, let me vent, went out for waffles and asked me how things were going (or knew better than to ask), dog sat so I could put in guilt-free long hours at the computer lab, and who celebrated each step with me. Special thanks to Julia Mason, Christina Gerken, Kyoko Kishimoto, Jane Rosser, Cynthia Mahaffey, Amy Beltano, Heath Huber, Sheri and Jason Wells-Jensen, Leo Huisman, Sue Eberly and Gayra Ostgaard. I’d also like to thank my family for all the emotional and financial support over the years and, even if they didn’t understand what I was doing, for believing that it was viii worthwhile. To my sister, Michelle, I’d like to add that you were my role model for how to be a smart, independent young woman and I might never have imagined that I could finish this degree if you hadn’t shown me that it can be done. Anyone who knows me will not be surprised that I would also like to thank my Lucky dog for being a constant source of unconditional love, a reminder that I shouldn’t sit for too long in front of the computer without taking a break for a walk or a good wrestle, and for supplying endless entertainment and stress relief. Thanks to him I did this whole dissertation without caffeine, anti-depressants, or cold feet. He never need wonder if he earned his keep. I’d also like to thank my students from Intro to Women’s Studies and from Feminism through Science Fiction for exploring so many issues important to my project with me, for constantly supplying me with ideas and stories which found their way into these pages, and for showing me with their own FSF stories that my hope for teaching to transgress through FSF is a possible one. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER I.

    III. Discussion Questions a. Individual Stories Nathaniel Hawthorne, “Rappaccini’s Daughter” (1844) 1. As an early sf tale, this story makes important contributions to the sf megatext. What images, situations, plots, characters, settings, and themes do you recognize in Hawthorne’s story that recur in contemporary sf works in various media? 2. In Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the worst sin is to violate, “in cold blood, the sanctity of the human heart.” In what ways do the male characters of “Rappaccini’s Daughter” commit this sin? 3. In what ways can Beatrice be seen as a pawn of the men, as a strong and intelligent woman, as an alien being? How do these different views interact with one another? 4. Many descriptions in the story lead us to question what is “Actual” and what is “Imaginary”? How do these descriptions function to work both symbolically and literally in the story? 5. What is the attitude toward science in the story? How can it be compared to the attitude toward science in other stories from the anthology? Jules Verne, excerpt from Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) 1. Who is narrator of this tale? In your opinion, why would Verne choose this particular character to be the narrator? Describe his relationship with the other members of this subterranean expedition. Many of Verne’s early novels feature a trio of protagonists who symbolize the “head,” the “heart,” and the “hand.” Why? How does this notion apply to the protagonists in Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth? 2.

  • 1970S Feminist Science Fiction As Radical Rhetorical Revisioning. (2014) Directed by Dr
    BELK, PATRICK NOLAN, Ph.D. Let's Just Steal the Rockets: 1970s Feminist Science Fiction as Radical Rhetorical Revisioning. (2014) Directed by Dr. Hephzibah Roskelly. 204 pages. Feminist utopian writings from the 1970s included a clearly defined rhetorical purpose: to undermine the assumption of hidden male privilege in language and society. The creative conversation defining this rhetorical purpose gives evidence of a community of peers engaging in invention as a social act even while publishing separately. Writers including Samuel Delany, Joanna Russ, James Tiptree, Jr., and Ursula Le Guin were writing science fiction as well as communicating regularly with one another during the same moments that they were becoming fully conscious of the need to express the experiences of women (and others) in American literary and academic society. These creative artists formed a group of loosely affiliated peers who had evolved to the same basic conclusion concerning the need for a literature and theory that could finally address the science of social justice. Their literary productions have been well-studied as contemporaneous feminist utopias since Russ’s 1981 essay “Recent Feminist Utopias.” However, much can be understood about their rhetorical process of spreading the meme of feminist equality once we go beyond the literary productions and more closely examine their letters, essays, and commentary. This dissertation will show that this group of utopian fiction writers can be studied as exactly that: a loosely connected, collaborative, creative group of peers with specific ideas about how humanity could be better if assumptions of male superiority were undermined and with the rhetorical means to spread those ideas in ways which changed the literary and social conversation.

  • “WHEN IT CHANGED”, DE JOANNA RUSS Lucia De La Rocque (UERJ/ FIOCRUZ)1
    50 A QUESTÃO DAS TECNOLOGIAS REPRODUTIVAS EM “WHEN IT CHANGED”, DE JOANNA RUSS Lucia de La Rocque (UERJ/ FIOCRUZ)1 A percepção das escritoras feministas de ficção científica do amálgama entre os campos ocupados pelas questões de gênero e de ciência passa, necessariamente, pela discussão travada por essas autoras acerca do papel da mulher numa sociedade em que a ciência respalda o poder masculino. Essas obras denunciam como uma forma de ciência, alavancada pelo patriarcado, manipula o corpo da mulher, principalmente nas questões que remetem ao biológico. Esse tipo de leitura, na realidade, instiga debates fundamentais para o feminismo, cobrindo desde a discussão em torno de formas alternativas de reprodução humana, tais como se apresentam na ficção e já aconteceram ou estão para acontecer, envolvendo maior ou menor teor decisório das mulheres sobre seu próprio corpo, até questionamentos sobre a idéia do ciborgue, altamente polêmica e trazida para o cerne dos estudos feministas com as obras pioneiras de Donna Haraway. Neste trabalho, focaremos justamente a primeira inovação mencionada: o modo pelo qual a ficção científica de autoria feminina tem encarado as biotecnologias reprodutoras (novas tecnologias reprodutivas, ou NTRs). As NTRs têm desempenhado um papel bastante ambíguo quanto à arena de estudos de gênero. Por um lado denunciadas como ferramenta do patriarcado por grande parte da crítica feminista (Scavonne: 2003), por outro essas tecnologias também têm sido encaradas como possibilidades de libertação do corpo da mulher no que concerne à reprodução da espécie; e é nesse cenário onde se encaixa o conto When it changed, de Joanna Russ, de 1975, focado no presente trabalho.

  • Christmas Letter 2003
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2003-2004 Dear Friends and Family: Another year of wonderful experiences for our family passed by too quickly in 2003! It is, of course, of great note that our house construction is still in transition, with grand hopes that it will be complete in 2004. It really really is in the final stages. We had some amazing travels in 2003; kicked off by a family trip to Washington in March so that Joe could receive a national award, the Ernest Lynton Award for Faculty Public Service at the American Association for Higher Education meeting. We had dinner with Mrs. Lynton and members of the sponsoring organization, the New England Resource Center for Higher Education at the University of Massachusetts. We had a chance to tour DC with the kids too, and the whole family was able to join with Dad when he got the award. They even sat through Joe’s short speech! All winter and spring, Joseph prepared for his first communion, which we celebrated in June; Joseph's godfather, Nick Lomako, along with Kathy Lomako, brought Grandma Anne from Detroit, and joined Aunt Sandy and cousin Tim with the family at the Anchor Bar for wings and then a Bisons's game in the evening. The non traditional celebration topped off the ceremony at St. Joe's church. Dad enjoyed being Joseph’s communion class teacher as he was for Claire. Over the past year, Joseph and Carol have continued their efforts at Tae Kwon Do, Joseph has achieved the level of red belt, that is just a few steps from black belt, which he may reach in 2004.
