Final Version Graduate School Copy Thinking Sex with the Great Whore (Rev 17–18): Deviant Sexualities in the Context of Empire By Luis Menéndez-Antuña Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Religion August, 2016 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Fernando F. Segovia, Ph.D Daniel M. Patte, Ph.D Ellen T. Armour, Ph.D Kathy L. Gaça, Ph.D ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child.” My village is composed of family, too many friends and colleagues to name, but all of them have been essential in the completion of this project. I came to the United States to get immersed in theoretical and contextual approaches to biblical interpretation. I am honored and privileged to have had the supervision of Professor Fernando F. Segovia throughout this journey. Always respectful to my interests, not only you have helped me to navigate the complex field of Ideological Criticism and Postcolonial Studies, your careful reading and insightful feedback has made for an substantial improvement in my project both in terms of structure and content. You have also made possible a wide variety of experience that has enriched my educational experience at deep levels: for your support and invitation to travel to Israel, and many national and international conferences where some of the chapters have been presented I will always be grateful. I thank Professor Ellen T. Armour for helping me navigate the muddled waters of Queer Theory and for supporting my research. From the start, your respectful feedback and insightful questions pushed me “to push the envelope.” I am deeply grateful to Professor Daniel M. Patte: I could not have approached the texts in such contextual fashion without your courses and the insights gained from them. You truly have expanded ii my horizons in biblical interpretation. Professor Kathy L. Gaça has always provided very careful and comprehensive feedback to my projects. Thank you so much for availability. This research has also supported at different stages by Fulbright Commission, Hispanic Theological Initiative, and Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. Behind those institutions stand people whose personal support has been crucial: without them I would have not made it. Uli Guthrie and Joanne Rodríguez, I will always be grateful for your patience, encouragement, and support. I am so humbled that you accepted me as part of HTI family. Hispanic Theological Initiative made me feel at home away from home. Other friends have sit with me at this home at different stages helping me navigate the identity conundrums of being and feeling like an alien: David Marburger, Elena Olazagasti, Natalia Pelaz, Todd Caruthers are just a few, among many others, who continue to be a source of inspiration. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS………………………………………………………………………………………ii Chapter 1.

  • Materialist Feminism
    9­ / MATERIALIST FEMINISM A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives Edited by Rosemary Hennessy and Chrys Ingraham ROUTLEDGE New York & London Introduction Reclaiming Anticapitalist Feminism Rosemary Hennessy and Chrys Ingraham THE NEED FOR ClASS ANALYSIS OF WOMEN'S DIFFERENT LIVES We see this reader as a timely contribution to feminist struggle for transformative social change, a struggle which is fundamentally a class war over resources, knowledge, and power. Currently the richest 20 percent of humanity garners 83 percent of global income, while the poorest 20 percent of the world's people struggles to survive on just 1 percent of the global income (Sivard 1993; World Bank 1994). During the 1990s, as capitalism triumphantly secures its global reach, anticommunist ideologies hammer home socialism's inherent failure and the Left increasingly moves into the professional middle class. many of western feminism's earlier priorities-commitment to social transformation, attention to the political economy of patriarchy, analysis of the perva­ sive social structures that link and divide women~have been obscured or actively dismissed. Various forms of feminist cultural politics that take as their starting point gender, race, class, sexuality, or coalitions among them have increasingly displaced a systemic perspective that links the battle against women's oppression to a fight against capitalism. The archive collected in Materialist Feminism: A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives is a reminder that despite this trend feminists have continued to find in historical materialism a powerful theoretical and political resource. The tradi- . tion of feminist engagement with marxism emphasizes a perspective on social life that refuses to separate the materiality of meaning, identity, the body, state, or nation from the requisite division of labor that undergirds the scramble for profits in capitalism's global system.

  • Being Inappropriate: Queer
    BEING INAPPROPRIATE: QUEER ACTIVISM IN CONTEXT By Amy Watson Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Allaine Cerwonka CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2009 Abstract This thesis offers a genealogical approach to queer activism. Starting from the gay liberation movement in the late 1960s, I end with what materialized of queer activism in the form of Queer Nation. Out of theoretical discourse, political events and conceptual problems in the United States, queer activism and theory emerged as a disruption. I depict deliberations of identity as essence and as basis for political action which shifted into the concept of identity as a relational process of practices, as can be seen in the political undertakings of ACT UP. Yet, queer activism is not without its limitations. Specifically, I consider particular practices of Queer Nation as well as mainstream gay and lesbian pride parades. These limitations largely depict queer activism as being class- and race-blind. Moreover, I engage with a critical view of the pink economy and the commodification of queer/gay and lesbian social identities. I take into account the speculation that consumerism has the capacity to depoliticize queer subjects. Contemporary queer activist networks are reformulating as a response to critical engagements with queer activism, the pink economy and a portrayal of the queer subject as commodified. They are engaging in “power-to-do” as part of a relational process. As such, the practices that these sites of activism engage in are indicators that there is an ongoing critique against CEU eTD Collection identity politics, homonormativity and consumerism.

  • Materialist Feminism
    9-­ ",k 0tl~e..S$ID"" o f vJ C) """"a..V\ ,,: .. MATERIALIST FEMINISM A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives Edited by Rosemary Hennessy and Chrys Ingraham ROUTLEDGE New Vork & London 8 The Oppression of Wonlen A Structuralist Marxist View Martha Gimenez Modern feminism has led to the emergence of an ever-growing body of literature seek­ ing to ascertain, using social science and Marxi~t theories, the origin of the oppression of women, the reasons for its perpetuation throughout history, its functions in contem­ porary society, and the conditions that would bId to its demise. The heterogeneous class and ethnic composition of the women's l110vement as well as the differences in the academic training of individual writers arc reflected in the political splits within the movement and in the theoretical and methodological heterogeneity of these writings. More importantly, as intellectual productions rooted in a historically specific political and ideological conjuncture, these writings have been affected by the hegemony of ide­ alist and empiricist assumptions underlying current common-sense views of the world, social science paradigms, and dominant interpretations of Marxism. Indeed, idealist (i.e., Hegelian, phenomenological, humanistic, existentialist, psychological, voluntaris­ tic) versions of Marxism seem to be more acceptable and respectable within feminist, Marxist, and non-Marxist academic and nonacademic circles in the United States. On the other hand, theoretical devdopmenb that claim to maintain the dialectical materi­ alist outlook of classical Marxism and stress the nonsubjective dimension of social processes arc generally ignored or criticized and dismissed on the grounds of their alleged determinism, economism, or functionalism.

  • Ii Property, Mobility, and Epistemology in U.S. Women of Color Detective
    Property, Mobility, and Epistemology in U.S. Women of Color Detective Fiction DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Julia Istomina, M.F.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Linda Mizejewski, Advisor Lynn Itagaki Theresa Delgadillo ii Copyright by Julia Istomina 2015 iii Abstract This project explores how U.S. women of color detective fiction novels interpret and revise methods for obtaining and transmitting knowledge while operating within political and economic climates that discipline and occlude oppositional narratives, historiographies, and identifications. U.S. women of color detective fiction emerged in the early 1990s during a time when institutions began to incorporate historically marginalized perspectives, but also when American and transnational corporate initiatives sought to stigmatize and profit from poor women of color. The novels featured in this project make use of a genre that is invested in creating exceptionally intelligent and capable detectives who seek to identify and correct social injustice. In the process, these novels employ historiographic epistemologies that are typically elided in Anglo- European philosophical and narrative productions. Historiographic epistemologies are theories concerning the encoding and transmission of knowledge that also serve as mediations regarding the composition of history, testimony, and narrative.

  • Socialist-Feminist Strategy Today
    SOCIALIST-FEMINIST STRATEGY TODAY JOHANNA BRENNER AND NANCY HOLMSTROM omen have entered the global political stage in an astonishing array Wof movements. Sparked by the current capitalist war on the working class as well as the ongoing struggle around patriarchal relations, these movements provide an important arena for socialist-feminist politics. Today, unlike the past, feminist ideas are part of many anti-capitalist movements, although bringing those ideas to the centre of anti-capitalist politics is still an uphill struggle. In this essay we discuss how socialist feminist activists are shaping demands and campaigns, how they organize on the ground, how they build the leadership of working-class, indigenous and rural women, how they work within mixed gender groups and movements. In order to do justice to the diversity of socialist-feminist strategies, we posed a set of questions to socialist-feminist scholars and activists engaged in different struggles. This essay is based on their insights. As a group, they are diverse in terms of age and political generation, social location and nationality. Susan Dirr and Giselda Gutierrez are activists in the Occupy movement in Chicago and Houston, respectively,1 and Esther Vivas is an activist in Spain’s Indignado movement, as well as a journalist and sociologist.2 Martha Ojeda, a former maquiladora worker, has been Executive Director of the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras since 1996.3 Rosemary Hennessy, a theorist of Marxism and sexuality, also writes on gender and labour struggles in northern Mexico.4 Eleni Varikas is a political theorist based in Paris and connected to researchers and activists in Greece.5 Valentine Moghadam is an expert on women in the Middle East and on Transnational Feminist Networks (TFNs) that provide crucial support and solidarity in struggles against capitalism and patriarchy worldwide.6 With their collaboration, we have drawn a picture of socialist-feminist strategy that leaps from place to place and hardly presents a comprehensive view.

  • From Abjection to Coalition : Sexual Subjectivities and Identity Politics In
    FROM ABJECTION TO COALITION: SEXUAL SUBJECTIVITIES AND IDENTITY POLITICS IN TWENTIETH -CENTURY LESBIAN AND GAY NOVELS By LESLIE J. HENSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1996 Copyright 1996 by Leslie J. Henson I dedicate this dissertation to my mother and father, both of whom have labored to allow me to get the education they never had. My mother's concern with my education, and her willingness to do everything in her power to help me get it, like my father's generosity in providing economic support, have been indispensable. Their lives and values speak in these pages. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Dr. Anne Goodwyn Jones, my chair, for all of her support, encouragement, and understanding; she allowed me to switch in midstream from contemporary American lesbian poets to gay and lesbian novels, and to follow at every step of the way my intuition about what I wanted to focus on in this study. I also want to thank Dr. Kim Emery, who acted as cochair and who went beyond the call of duty in offering encouragement and suggestions, even meeting with me to help me find the unifying threads in the fifty pages of near-gibberish that constituted my first writing on this project; she got to this university right when I needed her. I also want to thank my other committee members: Dr. Brandon Kershner, for all of his intellectual help and support over the years, now and when he let me bum cigarettes and talk with him that first difficult year of graduate school; and Dr.

    Kirsten Leng Office: Bartlett 11D WOMENSST 301-01 Office Hours: Tue 10am-12pm MoWe 2:30-3:45pm Email: [email protected] Classroom: Bartlett Room 205 THEORIZING GENDER, RACE, AND POWER Fall 2014 Course Overview: This course offers ways of analyzing and reflecting on current issues and controversies in feminist thought within an international context sensitive to gender, race, class, and sexuality, and critical of complex power dynamics. After taking the first few class meetings to review and establish foundational concepts (namely, power and intersectionality), we will focus on three thematically distinct units. This year, the themes are: Unit 1: Who Belongs? Interrogating Nation-State, Migration, and Citizenship Unit 2: Labour, Capital and Class, At Home and Abroad Unit 3: Bodies that Matter? Contesting Definitions of (Un)Desirable Bodies Within these units, we’ll examine the gender, sexual, and racial politics of national belonging and migration; housework and sex work; class and labour movements; tourism and sexual pleasure; disability and desirability; reproductive rights and justice; and intersectionality online. Course Goals: • Know and understand a range of feminist theories and analyses regarding the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class, as well as theories of power • Identify and define key concepts in feminist theories • Critically compare and evaluate different theories and analyses • Use these theories to develop a critical lens through which to examine current events and goings-on beyond our classroom • Practice
