  • Future Feminist Archive Programme
    CONTEMPORARY ART AND FEMINISM Future Feminist Archive 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S YEAR 2015 Foreword Future Feminist Archive explores the generative potential of the archive as idea and material phenomenon. It is both a year-long series of exhibitions, events and sympo- sia hosted by SCA’s Contemporary Art and Feminism research cluster to commem- orate the 40th anniversary of International Women’s Day, and an exhibition at SCA Galleries in March. In an archive the past is contemporary and infinitely malleable. The archive also questions what merits the name, or is deemed worthy of belonging to an archive, a question central to cultural value. Not surprisingly, then, the archive has become of keen interest to those seeking to craft alternative histories, and to those interested in the relationship between material culture and social realities: natural terrain for feminist scholars and artists. In the Future Feminist Archive exhibition, co-ordinating curator Dr Jacqueline Millner has brought together a variety of engagements with the archive, from official records to neglected artefacts, alternate documents, and intergenerational passing on of memories. Artist Archive acts as a fascinating time-capsule of Australian contem- porary art. It captures the voices of 100 Sydney-based artists interviewed ten years ago about their understanding of their art practice. ‘Daughters Mothers’ comprises the creative exchanges between four daughter-mother partnerships, allowing for a rich exploration of the intersection between personal and public histories. ‘Women’s Gaze and the Feminist Film Archive’ screens a series of pioneering films from the 1970s credited as ongoing influences to contemporary Australian film.

  • Materialising Feminism: Object and Interval, Thesis
    MATERIALISING FEMINISM: OBJECT AND INTERVAL Caroline Phillips ORCID ID: 0000-0002-9748-9097 Doctor of Philosophy January, 2017 University of Melbourne Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract This practice-led research upholds a view of sexual difference as a mutable field constituted in relations between materiality, subject positions and the situated conditions of feminism. It considers multiple and different subjects as equivalent, in a framework of ethical relations across the divide between the feminine and the masculine. This contested binary, previously operating as a negative and oppositional framework, is now radically affirmed as a generative and affirmative topology of difference and relation. Drawing on Luce Irigaray’s framework of the interval of sexual difference, the research locates relations of difference and connection within the generative space, place and threshold of the interval. Modes of making manifest these relations through a material-discursive practice, rendered via collaborative curatorial projects and art objects. Through this work sexual difference is repositioned as non-hierarchical and non-oppositional, whilst the affirmation of this binary through the interval situates identity through relations. The reconfiguration of sexual difference through the interval extends the possibilities for feminist art via its affirmative and productive new strategies for practice. 3 4 Declaration (i) this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Doctor of Philosophy except where indicated (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used (iii) this thesis is fewer than the maximum word limit in length, exclusive of bibliography and appendices Signed by: Caroline Phillips Caroline Phillips, January, 2017 5 6 Acknowledgements This PhD research has evolved through the organic and affirmative participation of a very generous - in size and spirit - network of people.

  • Between Feminism and Femininity: Shifting Cultural Representations of Girlhood in the 1960S
    BETWEEN FEMINISM AND FEMININITY: SHIFTING CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF GIRLHOOD IN THE 1960S Ying-bei Eldridge 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 2017 Committee: Jolie Sheffer, Advisor Andrew Hershberger Graduate Faculty Representative Timothy Messer-Kruse Radhika Gajjala © 2017 Ying-bei Eldridge All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jolie Sheffer, Advisor Media and cultural studies of girlhood have shown that we live in a postfeminist era, when the label “feminism” evokes many negative stereotypes against women demanding greater rights and opportunities whereas eye-catching “girl” figures promote and advertise a stronger vision of femininity in the popular culture market. Tracking how “girls” replace “women” and become favored icons of feminism in contemporary culture, this dissertation analyzes the shifts in cultural depictions of girlhood in the 1960s. Examining magazines and newspapers’ coverage of Beatlemania in 1964 and 1965, Twiggy’s successful modeling career from 1966 to 1968, and the eventful Miss America pageants from 1968 to 1970, I find that mass media and popular culture institutions presented a series of new images and themes about girlhood that featured romantic desires for male idols, challenges to prevailing definitions of fashionable femininity, and an outspoken approach to controversial political and social issues. These new themes exemplify that the differences between girlhood and womanhood intensified along with the development of feminist movements in the 1960s, when mass media invested in constructing a new girlhood identity as a way to fend off changing views of womanhood and uphold some elements of traditional femininity.
