While writing this dissertation a wealth of specifically feminist scholarship appeared including, most recently, a 2011 panel at the American Comparative Literature Association conference entitled “Rethinking Baudrillard and Feminist Theory.” In her call for papers Ingrid M. Hoofd writes: “From Jane Gallop’s ‘French Theory and the Seduction of Feminism,’ Meaghan Morris’s ‘Room 101 or A Few Worst Things in The World’ to Douglas Kellner’s ‘Baudrillard’s Affront to Feminism,’ the French sociologist Jean Baudrillard has been widely condemned in the 80s and 90s as an anti-feminist philosopher” <http://www.acla.org/acla2011/?p=425>. It is true that Baudrillard has long been dismissed by feminism not only as “antifeminist,” but also, by implication, as sexist, racist, and misogynist. Hoofd suggests that it is not just Baudrillard’s death but his increasing relevance that makes him important to feminism: “It has become urgent to revisit Baudrillard’s relevance for feminist theory in light of the latter’s decreasing grip on global politics.” Feminism, according to Hoofd, has become decreasingly irrelevant, while Baudrillard has come to define many theories of global politics: the media, simulation, cybernetics, and the hyperreal, to name a few. Thus, in order to regain 1 2 political relevance, Hooft argues that it is time for feminists to reconsider their earlier critiques. But in all of the recent feminist scholarship on Baudrillard, save for sociologist Victoria Grace’s Baudrillard’s Challenge: A Feminist Reading (2000), which I discuss later in the chapter, feminists have focused on Baudrillard’s latter theories of simulation and the posthuman in order to maintain global relevance, forestalling any reconsideration of his earlier text Seduction (1979). In the most recent feminist text on Baudrillard, Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls: Feminism, Popular Culture, and the Posthuman Body (2007), Kim Tofoletti only tangentially addresses Seduction: “My purpose here isn’t to defend Baudrillard on the topic of seduction … rather I look elsewhere in his body of work using his theory of simulation to make sense of posthuman images in a climate characterized by the abundance of signs and the implosion of meaning” (49). Tofoletti’s refusal to engage Seduction is not surprising given the fact that Seduction is commonly viewed as his most sexist work. But Tofoletti’s assumption here is also that a theory of seduction is not as important as simulation for understanding today’s “climate.” A critical engagement with Seduction is, I argue, key to understanding just how we, as feminists, are now in the position of not only trying to “make sense” of the “implosion of meaning” but also defending our “grip on global politics.” I agree that a feminist revaluation of Baudrillard’s work is “urgent,” but I also argue that as long as feminists refuse to engage with Seduction, they will continue to miss an unacknowledged historical strand of feminism that speaks to our continued rather than decreasing grip on global politics. Revisiting Baudrillard’s theories will not make feminism relevant unless reading them 3 allows us to re-imagine the history of modern feminism as already relevant. In this dissertation, I reread the history of modern feminism through Baudrillard’s theory of seduction, arguing for a revaluation of feminist history and literature to highlight feminism’s ongoing challenge to power and politics. Contrary to popular feminist belief, Baudrillard’s work on seduction is not rooted in a fundamental disregard for or antagonistic stance toward women. But the fact that this remains a prevailing point of view proves that feminists ban together more than most people give them credit for. Jane Gallop blacklisted Seduction in the 1980s and, since then, feminist scholars have skipped over this seminal work, usually with a nod to Gallop,1 before moving on to engage later works, such as Simulations or Transparency of Evil.2 Perhaps those feminists who use Baudrillard’s later work do not recognize that his theory about the media and image culture came about as a supplement to Seduction, a lament over what Baudrillard fears is the contemporary loss of seduction through the overproduction of meaning. In failing to account for his earlier work, feminists miss the important implication of seduction as a strategy and a practice aimed at challenging the overproduction of meaning. Jane Gallop’s argument against Baudrillard’s Seduction in “French Theory and the Seduction of Feminism” (1987) is many layered, but her main criticism is that 1 See Kim Tofoletti’s Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls: Feminism, Popular Culture, and the Posthuman Body (2007), or Rebecca Schneider’s The Explicit Body in Performance (1997). 2 See Rita Felski’s Doing Time: Feminist Theory and Postmodern Culture (2000), and Donna Haraway’s Simians Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (1991). 4 Baudrillard is contradictory.3 Because contradiction is a key term in Gallop’s work, in order to fully grasp the reason for Gallop’s seeming dismissal of Baudrillard, it is helpful to keep in mind that her critique is informed by her earlier work. In The Daughter’s Seduction: Feminist Theory and Psychoanalysis (1984), one of Gallop’s main points is that in invoking any identity, indeed in utilizing any definition, we risk turning relations into comforting representations. While Baudrillard, for example, argues that “seduction” and “production” are opposing terms, in that one cannot exist where the other is found, Gallop would argue that they are relational terms and that they should be treated as such.4 In The Daughter’s Seduction, Jane Gallop uses seemingly contradictory positions, feminism and psychoanalysis (insofar as feminism works against patriarchy and psychoanalysis seems to work in its favor), to model the way feminists should analyze methods and concepts relationally.5 For Gallop, even though we may oppose a particular 3 Gallop is not the only feminist to critique Seduction. In Differences that Matter (1998), Sarah Ahmed argues that while Baudrillard refuses the concept of destiny, he also argues that seduction is destiny. In this way, Baudrillard seems to establish seduction as the norm. Ahmed writes, “The subject is [now] determined by indeterminacy (rather than anatomy, class, or gender). As such, Baudrillard’s post-modernism can be read as a normative and positive reading of the subject” (106). Ahmed’s misreading of Baudrillard is all too common in feminist theory. Baudrillard does not claim seduction as positive. Seduction is without value because it does not conform to the value of political economy. Seduction is also not a subjectivity. Baudrillard’s entire work has been an effort to think beyond subjectivity (which he sees as an ideology of exclusion and hierarchy).

    WMS205: Introduction to Women’s Studies Kimberly L. Dennis, PhD Fall, 2010 TTh 3:30-4:45 e-mail: [email protected] Office: CFAC 121c Classroom: Olin Library, Room 260 Office hours: by appointment web.me.com/kim.dennis/WMS205F10 username: kdennis password: WMS205 What Is Women’s Studies? Women’s Studies, the academic branch of the feminist movement, seeks to redress the exclusion of women’s accomplishments and experiences from the traditional university curriculum. Women’s Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field which both critiques and draws on the perspectives of the social sciences, the arts and humaniti1es, and the sciences, recognizing that no single subject can adequately address women’s diverse experiences. Women’s Studies scholars recognize that women’s experience has always been and continues to be influenced by a complex matrix of forces, including race, class, sexuality, age, ability, and many others. Course Description This course will explore the history and goals of the academic discipline of Women’s Studies and the social and political movement of feminism. We will begin with an investigation of a fundamental principle that shapes the thinking of both feminists and students of women’s issues: the difference between sex and gender and the social institutions through which male and female children are shaped into adult women and men. We will then complicate our understanding of the category ‘woman’ by exploring some of the ways one’s experience of ‘womanhood’ can be shaped by race and class. Next, we will examine the myths and facts surrounding violence against women and children.

  • Masses, Turbo-Capitalism and Power in Jean Baudrillard's Social
    International Journal of Theology, Philosophy and Science No. 3, Year 2/2018 MASSES, TURBO-CAPITALISM AND POWER IN JEAN BAUDRILLARD’S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ONTOTHEOLOGY PhD. Prof. Spiros MAKRIS Assistant Professor in Political Theory University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki, GREECE Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT If postmodern Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) could be defined as a theorist of power - to the extent that for some this is a contradiction by definition, although something very similar takes place in the case of Michel Foucault, he could be defined as a theorist of meta-power in the globalized era of turbo-capitalism. In his late texts (2005), which were published in 2010, the eminent French philosopher builds a provocative theory about power by using the classic concepts of domination and hegemony within the contemporary social, economic, political and ideological context of neoliberal globalization. In these papers, he analyzes in-depth the meta- power of hegemony in comparison with the power of domination. Actually, by signifying the critical passage of postwar capitalism from the phase of production to the phase of consumption, as Zygmunt Bauman does in his relevant work, Baudrillard formulates a meta-power theory as the equivalent of what he defines as turbo-capitalism. What is at stake is no longer the conventional issues of state sovereignty, Marx-inspired concept of alienation and Critical Theory-like negative dialectics but the crucial questions of hegemony, hostage and evilness. In short, Jean Baudrillard builds a new ontological and by extension disciplinary and theoretical field concerning global power, where the ‘Empire of Good’, or turbo-capitalism in his own terminology, is reborn in a totally catastrophic way (see simulation in the sense of a capitalist hypocrisy) either as an ‘Axis of Evil’ or as the ‘problem of terror’ (see simulacrum in the sense of a Lacanian stage of image within which turbo-capitalism represses, through a Freudian process of repelling, its unfamiliar self/i.e.

  • Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization Distribute Or John Sutcliff’S Entire Adult Life Has Been Devoted to the Sexual Seduction of Teenage Boys
    CHAPTER 3 Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization distribute or John Sutcliff’s entire adult life has been devoted to the sexual seduction of teenage boys. At the age of 33 he was arrested and sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy who was a member of his “Big Brother’s Club.” By his own admission he had sexually molested over 200 “members” of his club. John’s favorite activity with these boys was giving and receiving enemas. John became involved with the fetish while enrolled in a residential boy’s school where many of the boys were subjected to enemas administered in front of the entire dormitory. After his release from prison, John became much more “scientific” in his efforts to procure victims. A “theoretical” paper he wrote indicated that father-absent boys werepost, “ripe” for seduction, and he would entice them with his friendly ways and with a houseful of electronic equipment he would teach the boys to repair and operate. He weeded out boys with a father in the home and would spend at least 6 weeks grooming each victim. He used systematic desensitization techniques, starting with simply getting the boys to agree to type in answers to innocuous questions and escalating to having them view pornographic homosexual pictures and giving them “pretend” enemas, actual enemas, and enemas accompanied by sexual activity. With each successive approximation toward John’s goal the boys were reinforced by material and nonmaterial rewards (friendship, attention, praise) that made the final events seem almost natural. copy, John’s activities came to light when U.S.

STEIKER** INTRODUCTION Over the past five years we have seen an unprecedented swell of debate at all levels of public life regarding the American death penalty. Much of the debate centers on the crisis of confidence engendered by the high-profile release of a significant number of wrongly convicted inmates from the nation's death rows. Advocates for reform or abolition of capital punishment have seized upon this issue to promote various public policy initiatives to address the crisis, including proposals for more complete DNA collection and testing, procedural reforms in capital cases, substantive limits on the use of capital punishment, suspension of executions, and outright abolition.

  • Implementing Armenian Feminist Literature Within Feminist Discourse
    YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE: IMPLEMENTING ARMENIAN FEMINIST LITERATURE WITHIN FEMINIST DISCOURSE By Grace Hart A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English: Applied English Studies Committee Membership Dr. Christina Accomando, Committee Chair Dr. Lisa Tremain, Committee Member Dr. Janet Winston, Program Graduate Coordinator July 2020 “Writing is dangerous because we are afraid of what the writing reveals, the fears, the angers, the strengths of a woman under a triple or quadruple oppression. Yet in that very act lies our survival because a woman who writes has power. And a woman with power is feared.” - Gloria Anzaldúa ABSTRACT YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE: IMPLEMENTING ARMENIAN FEMINIST LITERATURE WITHIN FEMINIST DISCOURSE Grace Hart This project melds personal narrative with literary criticism, as it excavates the literature of Armenian writer and political activist Zabel Yessayan, particularly with her novel My Soul in Exile and memoir The Gardens of Silihdar. I argue that the voice of Zabel Yessayan should be included in the feminist women of color discourse within institutions in the United States. I develop this argument by bringing in the works of Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa’s anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color and showing parallels in themes and lenses such as excavating traumatic histories, the importance of personal identity, and using writing as a form of resistance. Zabel Yessayan’s texts and This Bridge both comprise stories conveying the theme of residing in the “in-between,” and topics concerning womanhood, culture, identity, alienation and isolation.

  • Feminism Approach in Novel Salah Pilih by Nur St
    FEMINISM APPROACH IN NOVEL SALAH PILIH BY NUR ST. ISKANDAR Fitriani Lubis Medan State University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Feminism began to develop in society, especially women who have higher education. Even so there are also some people who do not understand the understanding of feminism. Feminism is born from the unfair treatment felt by women. Through literary work, feminism was born as a thought to change the unfavorable situation for women. This paper examines the approach of feminism in the novel Salah Pilih by Nur St. Iskandar. Keywords: Literary Criticism, Feminism, Novel Feminism is a movement that demands the emancipation or equality and justice of rights by men. Feminism comes from Latin, femina or female. This term began to be used in the 1890s, referring to the theory of equality of men and women and the movement to obtain women's rights. The widespread definition of feminism is the advocacy of equality of women's rights in political, social, and economic matters. The feminist movement began in the late 18th century and flourished throughout the twentieth century beginning with the equality of women's political rights. Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is considered one of the earliest feminist writings containing criticisms of the French Revolution which applies only to men but not to women. A century later in Indonesia, Raden Ajeng Kartini co-authored his thoughts on the criticism of the situation of Javanese women who were not given the opportunity to attain equal education with men other than criticism of Dutch colonialism.
