Feminist Periodicals The Un versity o f W scons n System Feminist Periodicals A current listing of contents WOMEN'S STUDIES Volume 21, Number 3, Fall 2001 Published by Phyllis HolmanWeisbard LIBRARIAN Women's Studies Librarian Feminist Periodicals A current listing ofcontents Volume 21, Number 3 Fall 2001 Periodical literature is the cutting edge ofwomen's scholarship, feminist theory, and much ofwomen's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the U(liversity of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum offeminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to ajournal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table ofcontents pages from currentissues ofmajor feministjournals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first pUblication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. U.S. subscription price(s). 4. Subscription address. 5. Current editor. 6. Editorial address (if different from SUbscription address). 7. International Standard Serials Number (ISSN). 8. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. 9. Locations where the journal is held in the UW System. 10. Publications in which the journal is indexed. 11. Fulltext products in which publication appears or vendor intermediaries who make the full text available. 12. Subject focuslstatement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identify the different categories of information. Our goal is to have represented in FP all English-language feminist periodicals with a substantial national or regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offerings. We do not include pUblications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with few exceptions, do we include newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicals which lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist seriais to build a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist literature sorely needs. Interested readers will find morecomplete information on feminist periodicals in DWM:A DirectoryofWomen's Media published by the National Council for Research on Women (530 Broadway at Spring Street, New York, NY 10012); and in Women's Periodicals and Newspapers: A Union List of the Holdings of Madison Area Libraries, edited by James P. Danky, compiled by Maureen E. Hady, Barry Christopher, and Neill E. Strache (Boston: G.K. Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvements of Feminist Periodicats are gratefully received. We would particularly appreciate assistance from readers in the UW-System wilh our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up to date. Please let us know about new subscriptions, subscriptions we have overlooked, cancellations, or other pertinent information.

But it is also an attempt to explore some common elements in the way Australia and Britain run their affairs and to compare our two models of government. However, I would like to preface it with a tribute to my Canberra education. I first came here twenty-nine years ago disillusioned with the subject that I had taught for twenty years. I knew quite a lot about Britain and quite a lot about the United States, but the two systems were so deeply different that I could never make comparisons work; neither system seemed to throw light on the other.

  • Gender Roles in Costa Rica: the Effect of the Presence of Males Or Females
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 288 160 CG 020 334 AUTHOR Kaschak, Ellyn; Sharratt, Sara TITLE Gender Roles in Costa Rica: The Effect of the Presence of Males or Females. PUB DATE Aug 85 NOTE 14p.; Paper presented at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association (93rd, Los Angeles, CA, August 23-27, 1985). PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. LESCRIPTORS Androgyny; College Students; *Cultural Context; *Culture Fair Tests; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Latin American Culture; *Latin Americans; Sex Differences; *Sex Role; *Test Construction IDENTIFIERS *Costa Rica ABSTRACT Self-report instruments developed to assess adherence to gender roles are usually culture bound and applicable only in a particular cultural context. The Kaschak-Sharratt Sex-Role Inventory (KSSRI) was developed as a Spanish-language instrument appropriate for use in a Latin American culture. This study investigated situational demands or context and their effect upon gender roles by administering the KSSRI to 50 male and 50 female Costa Rican university students from three universities. Subjects completed the KSSRI three times, imagining themselves in a social situation with a male friend, a female friend, or one male and one female friend. While overall scores for females were consistently androgynous and achieved by high scores in both masculinity and femininity, females did score higher in femininity in the situation involving the presence of a male and in-between in situations with both sexes present, supporting the notion that for women, the presence of a male results not it lowered masculine behaviors, but in increased feminine behaviors.

Both schools of praxis developed during the climate of activism and social experimentation of the 1960s in the United States, and both share a non-pathological view of the human experience. This discussion suggests loci of synthesized theoretical constructs between the two disciplines as well as distinct concepts and practices in both disciplines that may serve the other.

REORIENTING THE FEMALE GOTHIC: CURIOSITY AND THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE BY JENNA GUITAR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2020 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION OF JENNA GUITAR APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Jean Walton Christine Mok Justin Wyatt Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2020 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the mode of the Female Gothic primarily by examining how texts utilize the role of curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge, paying close attention to how female characters employ these attributes. Existing criticism is vital to understanding the Female Gothic and in presenting the genealogy of feminist literary criticism, and yet I argue, this body of criticism often produces elements of essentialism. In an attempt to avoid and expose the biases that essentialism produces, I draw from Sara Ahmed’s theory of queer phenomenology to investigate the connections between the way that women pursue and circulate knowledge through education and reading and writing practices in the Female Gothic.

  • Mujeres, Antifascismo Y Democracia: La Junta De La Victoria, 1941-19471
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Anuario IEHS 28 (2013), pp. 157-175 MUJERES, ANTIFASCISMO Y DEMOCRACIA: LA JUNTA DE LA VICTORIA, 1941-19471 Sandra McGee Deutsch 2 Resumen La Junta de la Victoria era una organización antifascista femenina que promovió la democracia y mandó ayuda a los Aliados durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Apoyada por el Partido Comunista, se convirtió en el más grande grupo político de mujeres antes de la presidencia de Juan Perón (1946-1955). Movilizó a miles de mujeres de diferentes clases, etnias, religiones, perspectivas políticas, y regiones. A través de la elaboración de ropa y otras actividades concretas, y el uso de símbolos como la V de la Victoria, la Junta difundió el antifascismo y lo hizo atractivo a un gran número de personas. La contribución específica de la Junta a la lucha contra el fascismo fue su intento por democratizar el sistema político mediante la incorporación de diversas mujeres, así como también modelando las prácticas cívicas igualitarias, y popularizando su mensaje. Palabras clave: Mujeres – Antifascismo - Partido Comunista – Democracia. Abstract The Junta de la Victoria (1941-1947) was a female antifascist organization that promoted democracy and sent aid to the Allies during World War II. Supported by the Communist Party, it became the largest women’s political group before Juan Perón’s presidency (1946-1955). It mobilized thousands of women of different classes, ethnicities, religions, political perspectives, and regions. Through the making of clothing and other concrete activities, and the use of symbols such as the V for victory, the Junta spread antifascism and made it attractive to a huge number of persons.

    This volume is the result of the close collaboration between the University of Naples “L‘Orientale” and the scholars organizing and participating to the postgraduate course Feminisms in a Transnational Perspective in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It features 15 essays that envision a feminist critique of the production Università degli studi di Napoli of knowledge that contributes today, intentionally or not, to new “L’Orientale” forms of discrimination, hierarchy control, and exclusion.
