Was That Ethical? Feminist Critics’ Response to the “Queerness” of Modernist Women’s Writing Meridith M. Kruse, The New School for Liberal Arts Abstract: This article employs insights from contemporary theories of ethical reading to conduct a case study of feminist critics’ reaction to the queerness of modernist women’s writing. My aim is to develop a set of practices and principles for ethically responding to queerness in literary texts and everyday life, as well as contribute feminist acumen to the current claim that the humanities are the best site to train students how to do justice to texts.

  • Psychoanalysis in France Jane Gallop
    S&F Online www.barnard.edu/sfonline Double Issue: 3.3 & 4.1 The Scholar & Feminist XXX: Past Controversies, Present Challenges, Future Feminisms Document Archive Reprinted from: The Future of Difference Hester Eisenstein and Alice Jardine, Editors New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1985 Psychoanalysis in France By: Jane Gallop The science invented by Freud has known very different destinies in France and America. Briefly (all too briefly in a context where any elision is suspect) American psychoanalysis has become ego psychology, a practice aimed at shoring up that agency in the psyche that Freud said “is not even master in its own house.”27 Ego psychology would help the ego gain domination, although a certain reading of Freud finds that the ego’s necessarily fragile, defensive, illusory mastery is the knot of neuroses, the obstacle to happiness. “A certain reading of Freud”: French and American psychoanalysis can be seen as divergent readings of Freud. But to locate the difference, or the cause of that difference, or its center, in a “reading” is already to be on the side of French Freud. Thanks to the work of Jacques Lacan, the development peculiar to French psychoanalysis has been not a growth from Freud but a continual, detailed reading of Freud, reading his most radical moments against his most conservative, in view of a constant vigilance against Freud’s and our own tendencies to fall back into psychologism, biologism, or other commonplaces of thought from which his new science was a radical break. This careful reading, always struggling to hold psychoanalysis’ most audacious frontiers, considers the American effort to help the “master of the house” subdue mutinies as ideologically in keeping with the effort to save the threatened nuclear family, based upon traditional sex roles, by strengthening the “master’s” domination—that is to say, in keeping with the therapeutic effort to help men and women adjust to their sexually determined social roles.

  • 'You're the Least Important Person in the Room and Don't Forget
    Articles Laura Edbrook ‘You’re the least important person in the room and don’t forget it’ ‘You’re the least important person in the room and don’t forget it’: The intimate relations of subjectivity and the illegitimate everyday Laura Edbrook The Glasgow School of Art Laura Edbrook is a writer and researcher. She is a Lecturer in Fine Art Critical Studies at The Glasgow School of Art and is developing a new School of Fine Art postgraduate programme in Art Writing with the proposed entry date of September 2018. She has an interdisciplinary practice, regularly contributing to local and international art and literary fields and is currently working on a critical memoir entitled The Quick. Laura is an Editorial Director of MAP, a publishing project based in Glasgow. Abstract Collaging epistolary passage and theoretical discussion, this article both embodies and investigates the intimate, cerebral and emotional voice as a post-critical device and a politics of the personal-made-public. Forms of critical memoir and autotheory are examined as rhetorical forms where criticality is charged by correlation to one’s own life. First-person critique, or the ‘radically intimate’, is recognized as a post-critical turn and as a revisionist return to poststructuralist critiques of subjectivity and citational practices of self-writing. A particular focus is this mode of enquiry applied to art writing and acting as a meta-critique of the conditions of creative practice. As a self-reflexive research methodology, it is argued that first-person observation, inflected by affect, intimacy and the quotidian, can be understood not only as a countercultural trend but as a radical intervention in the means, production and historiography of contemporary art, literature and its discourses.

THE EROTICS OF TORTS Carol Sanger* FEMINIST ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT. By Jane Gallop. Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, Public Planet Books. 1997. Pp. 101. $9.95. I. "What kind of feminist would be accused of sexual harass- ment?" asks Jane Gallop (p. 1). Gallop quickly provides her own challenging answer: "the sort of feminist ... that ... do[es] not respect the line between the intellectual and the sexual" (p. 12). Gallop is firm and unrepentant about not respecting this line: "I sexualize the atmosphere in which I work. When sexual harassment is defined as the introduction of sex into professional relations, it becomes quite possible to be both a feminist and a sexual harasser" (p. 11). Figuring out what this means - and what its implications are for professors, for feminists, for law schools - is the task I've set for this review. I begin with a warning. As Margot Channing suggested some forty years ago, "Fasten your seat belts.

    rili I , Keys go Ddio ting) image of her mother." "Portrait" itself leads us not only to rep- resentation in the visual and theatrical senses, but to re-presentation, replication, the substitutability of one woman for another. Dora is Freud's Dora, the name Freud gives to the heroine of his "Fragment of an Analysis of a case of Hysteria," published in r9o5. ln 9. Keys to Dora this case history, Freud writes of Dora's complaint that she is being used as an "object of barter." Dora protests that her father has handed JANE GALLOP her over to his friend in exchange for that friend's wife. Freud does not disagree with Dora's inference but merely states that this is not a "formal agreement" between the two men but one that'the men do without being conscious of it. Dora and Freud have discovered a frag- ment of the general structure that thirty years later Claude lcvi-strauss will call elementary kinship structures, that is, the exchange of women ln between men.

    Fall 1994 87 Examining Critical History Through Theater: Feminist Scholarship of the 1980's and Beyond Cynthia Running-Johnson In recent years, prominent feminist scholars in the U.S. have shown an interest in looking back at the development of feminist theory and criticism of the 1970*8 and eighties. Jane Gallop in her book, Around 1981: Academic Feminist Literary Theory, and Nancy K. Miller in Getting Personal: Feminist Occasions and Other Autobiographical Acts provide two notable examples.1 As Gallop's study shows, this phenomenon is in part a product of the institutionalization of feminist studies in academia. Critics have felt the need to examine their bases, to work through the tensions between the extra- or anti-institutional orientation of the field—the philosophy present at its origins—and its increasingly more accepted and solid presence in the university system. The contemporary interest in historical exploration may also be part of a search for the (perhaps mythical) unity of those earlier years, a response to the more recent emphasis in feminist theory and criticism upon differences within the community of women. In addition, the growing influence of materialist approaches in feminist studies has meant a greater attention to the historical moment in which the critic and the text are located—including the history which has produced the feminist critical scene of the present. Interest in examining the past indicates a concern with the future directions of feminist studies, as well—the past seen as an indicator of or influence upon what is to come, a background against which to imagine the future.
