APA NEWSLETTER | FEMINISM AND PHILOSOPHY decades, entrenched and seemingly straightforward anti- ARTICLES and pro-pornography positions have emerged. In popular press, those opposing pornography are often portrayed as Précis to Pornography: A Philosophical prudish sex-negative feminists, who advocate censorship; pornography’s defenders are characterized as sex-positive Introduction liberals, who fght for free speech and expression. Lively philosophical debates about pornography have emerged Mari Mikkola since the 1980s, and there is by now a rich literature on SOMERVILLE COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD the topic. Nonetheless, these debates are still fraught with many difcult questions and precious little agreement exists on even basic questions: What is pornography? What 1. TASK OF THE BOOK (if anything) does pornography do? Is the consumption of This book ofers an opinionated introduction to and an pornography a harmless private matter, or does it harm its analysis of philosophical treatments of pornography. It is users in some ways? Does pornography harm non-users, a work in analytic philosophy; hence, one might expect my like women generally, by increasing the prevalence of frst move in the introduction to be to defne the concept sexualized violence? What, if anything, should legally be of pornography, and to ofer some necessary and sufcient done about pornography? Is feminist pornography possible conditions for why some flm, image, or text counts as and if so, what would make pornography feminist? Not pornography. Perhaps surprisingly, I don’t start with such having a clear idea about what we are talking about when a defnitional task. Perhaps even more surprisingly, this we talk about pornography has hindered philosophical is because such a defnitional undertaking has turned out attempts to answer these questions. There is still much to be far from straightforward. As the US Supreme Court confusion over the conceptual and political commitments Justice Potter Stewart in 1964 famously claimed, although of diferent anti- and pro-pornography positions, while he cannot provide a clear defnition of pornography, he diferent sides tend to portray a simplistic picture of their knows what counts as pornography when he encounters opponents. Participants in the debates end up easily it. Justice Stewart was relying on his intuitive conception of talking past one another. Furthermore, given the emotive pornography; unfortunately, other people rely on theirs. For nature of the topic, interlocutors can miss the fact that instance, many Americans (at least of a certain generation) existing positions are much more nuanced and far more would say that magazines like Hustler and Playboy are complex than might at frst seem. In fact, diferent sides paradigm instances of pornography. The heir of Playboy, to the debate might not even disagree with one another, Cooper Hefner, disagrees: he stated in a more recent contra appearances. newspaper article that the magazine is not pornography, but art, and that it empowers women. The OED’s defnition In light of these difculties and (apparent) disagreements, of pornography is rather innocuous and tame-sounding: this book examines philosophical pornography debates It denotes the explicit description or exhibition of sexual with the aim to steady and clarify the waters.

Abstract Doing things with words can create an ought that was not there before: Jones makes a promise, a master orders a slave. With the former example, Searle ‘derived’ an ought from an is. With the latter, Lewis showed that permissibility follows a ‘rule of accommodation’. The parallel between promise and order suggests that norms, good and bad, can be got from speech acts by accommodation: what is said ‘requires and thereby creates’ what is required, given certain conditions. Authority is such a condition: of a slave master, a desert island leader, a doctor, a quack doctor, a father, or a presidential candidate who ‘normalizes’ a behaviour. Authority can be pre-established, or gained by accommodation. It can be practical, or epistemic. It can belong to the speaker, or be outsourced. These cross-cutting distinctions allow for weakened authority, but a power to enact directives remains. Hearers can assist: in a two-part process, hearers accommodate presupposed authority, which in turn accommodates a speech act, cre- ating a norm. As hearers we may need, sometimes, to stop helping.

  • Thefeminist Porn Bookintrocha
    Introduction: The Politics of Producing Pleasure CONSTANCE PENLEY, CELINE PARREÑAS SHIMIZU, MIREILLE MILLER-YOUNG, and TRISTAN TAORMINO he Feminist Porn Book is the frst collection to bring together writ- ings by feminist porn producers and feminist porn scholars to Tengage, challenge, and re-imagine pornography. As collaborating editors of this volume, we are three porn professors and one porn direc- tor who have had an energetic dialogue about feminist politics and por- nography for years. In their criticism, feminist opponents of porn cast pornography as a monolithic medium and industry and make sweep- ing generalizations about its production, its workers, its consumers, and its efects on society. Tese antiporn feminists respond to feminist por- nographers and feminist porn professors in several ways. Tey accuse us of deceiving ourselves and others about the nature of pornography; they claim we fail to look critically at any porn and hold up all porn as empowering. More typically, they simply dismiss out of hand our abil- ity or authority to make it or study it. But Te Feminist Porn Book ofers arguments, facts, and histories that cannot be summarily rejected, by providing on-the-ground and well-researched accounts of the politics of producing pleasure. Our agenda is twofold: to explore the emergence and signifcance of a thriving feminist porn movement, and to gather some of the best new feminist scholarship on pornography. By putting our voices into conversation, this book sparks new thinking about the richness and complexity of porn as a genre and an industry in a way that helps us to appreciate the work that feminists in the porn industry are doing, both in the mainstream and on its countercultural edges.

  • Self-Narrative, Feminist Theory and Writing Practice
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington ON SHIFTING GROUND: Self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice By Anne Else A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2006 To Susan Moller Okin 1946-2004 Abstract This thesis centres on a problem that stands at the heart of feminist theory: how women may come to understand themselves as speaking subjects located within historically specific, discursive social structures, to question those structures aloud, and to seek to change them. It combines self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice to make sense of a body of published work which I produced between 1984 and 1999, with a consistent focus on some form of gendered discourse, by setting it in its personal, historical, and theoretical contexts. Although the thesis is built around published work, it is not primarily about results or outcomes, but rather about a set of active historical processes. Taking the form of a spirally structured critical autobiography spanning five and a half decades, it traces how one voice of what I have termed feminist oppositional imagining has emerged and taken its own worded shape. First, it constructs a double story of coming to writing and coming to feminism, in order to explore the formation of a writing subject and show the critical importance of the connections between subjectivity and oppositional imagining, and to highlight the need to find ways of producing knowledge which do not rely on the notion of the detached observer.

  • In This Issue of KRITIKE: an Online Journal of Philosophy
    KRITIKE VOLUME FIVE NUMBER TWO (DECEMBER 2011) i-iii Editorial In this Issue of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy Roland Theuas DS. Pada hilology of the future! An insult thrown at Friedrich Nietzsche by his contemporary philologist, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, whose P polemics dampened the reception of Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy, is one of the reasons why philosophy should be keenly aware with the difference between the idea of doing philosophy and understanding philosophy. On the one hand, doing philosophy in the sense of elucidation and exposition falls at the border between doing philosophy and philology. On the other hand, contributing something different to a discourse is one of the ways in which philosophy is able to live on and move towards the future. On a related note, the movement of philosophy is dynamic and unpredictable, a discourse at one time may be in vogue or in fashion, only to be eventually left as archive fodder. This is not to say that what we leave in an archive is entirely useless, rather this assertion speaks more of how we should overcome the very shoulders in which we erected our own philosophical edifice. Just as Heidegger had the anxiety of overcoming Kant in Sein und Zeit, and Derrida moving beyond Heidegger’s Destruktion, we must continue to think about the future of philosophy and to maintain an invisible thread that can tie and connect other discourses and disciplines together. I am very ecstatic to present the following papers for the tenth issue of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy.
