We Bring You the 2011 Regional Gathering By Gloria Stancich, 1935, and Mary Henry, 1939 The Portland and Puget Sound Chapters of OLOC are happy to announce that they will be hosting the 2011 Regional Gathering in Tacoma, Washington, July 28–31. Please mark your calendars now. In fact, we suggest being proactive and telling all your friends and family right now that that weekend is off limits for weddings, reunions, big birthday celebrations or any other events that might require your attention! We'll keep you posted as plans develop for program and enter- tainment at the Regional Gathering, but you can already plan on having a good time while you are in the area. We suggest looking into other sightseeing or vacation opportunities before and after our dates so you can have double the fun. Seattle, with its Space Needle, aquarium, zoo, Pike Street Market, and the original Starbucks isn't very far from Tacoma. In addition to all the City has to offer, it's also a major cruise port for trips to Alaska. Portland, Oregon, located along the gorgeous Columbia River, is less than three hours south and is an incredibly vibrant city, chock full of museums, parks, and Powell Books (which you’ve got to see to believe). "Hope we see you there!" say With any luck, you’ll be in the Tacoma area long enough to learn Deirdre Knowles and Gloria the lingo, such as saying “the mountain is out today” as you catch Stancich, two of the 2011 sight of the nearby glacier-covered Mt.

  • The Making of Modern Sexual Difference
    THE MAKING OF MODERN SEXUAL DIFFERENCE JONATHAN D. KATZ Yale University (If there are no academic Departments of Heterosexual Studies, even in more liberal universities, that is not only because all branches of the human sciences are already, to a greater or lesser degree, departments of heterosexual studies but also because heterosexuality has thus far largely escaped becoming a problem that needs to be studied and understood.) By constituting homosexuality as an object of knowledge, heterosexuality also constitutes itself as a privileged stance of subjectivity—as the very condition of knowing—and thereby avoids becoming an object of knowledge itself, the target of a possible critique. David Halperin in Saint Foucault, 47. The professionalization of gayness requires a certain performance and production of a “self” which is the constituted effect of a discourse that nevertheless claims to “represent” that self as a prior truth. Judith Butler in “Imitation and Gender Insubordination” This course takes the constitutive act of making in its title very seriously, offering both an historical and theoretical engagement with our current categories of sexual differentiation. It centers on that mode of difference which today is commonly called lesbian/gay/ bisexual/ transgendered and/or just queer, but which in other historical periods could have been called Uranian, inversion, sodomitical, Sapphic, butch, Wildean, homosexual, homophile and a host of other terms. More often than not over the course of human history it was simply not called anything at all—testament not only to repression, but to the potential for a different conceptual schema which did not see same sex sexuality as defining of what a person was-- indeed, which may have seen it as so normative that it warranted no additional name.

  • “A Fully Formed Blast from Abroad?”: Australasian Lesbian Circuits of Mobility and the Transnational Exchange of Ideas in the 1960S and 1970S
    “A fully formed blast from abroad?”: Australasian lesbian circuits of mobility and the transnational exchange of ideas in the 1960s and 1970s In 1973, three Australian women – Kerryn Higgs, Robina Courtin and Jenny Pausacker – returned to Melbourne having spent two years in London. Later the same year, New Zealander Alison Laurie arrived home after a nine-year stint overseas, which included periods of time living in England, Scandinavia and the USA. The return of all four had a catalytic effect on lesbian politics in their home communities. Pausacker, Higgs and Courtin were credited with precipitating a physical and ideological shift away from mixed gay politics toward a feminist perspective on lesbianism. With Laurie’s arrival it appeared that “lesbian feminism hit Aotearoa New Zealand as a fully formed blast from abroad, but fell on fertile ground, among many of the lesbians from gay liberation for starters.”1 Contemporary accounts certainly present the return of all four women as agents of change. To a certain extent their impact can be explained by the personalities of the women themselves. All were intelligent, creative women who continued to shape ideas throughout their lives. As Jenny Pausacker noted: “Kerryn published the first lesbian novel for adults in Australia. I published the first lesbian novel for young adults in Australia, and Robina’s the venerable Robina [a Buddhist nun]. So we were all quite strong personalities, with quite a public focus.”2 Laurie co-founded Sisters for Homophile Equality (SHE) which was the first lesbian organization in Aotearoa New Zealand, pioneered the Lesbian Community Radio Programme on Wellington Access Radio, and brought lesbian studies into the Women’s Studies program at Victoria University in Wellington.3 However, the impact the four women had can also be traced to their respective experiences of travel.

  • Introduction to Lesbian and Gay Studies
    INTRODUCTION TO LESBIAN AND GAY STUDIES JONATHAN D. KATZ Yale University (If there are no academic Departments of Heterosexual Studies, even in more liberal universities, that is not only because all branches of the human sciences are already, to a greater or lesser degree, departments of heterosexual studies but also because heterosexuality has thus far largely escaped becoming a problem that needs to be studied and understood.) By constituting homosexuality as an object of knowledge, heterosexuality also constitutes itself as a privileged stance of subjectivity—as the very condition of knowing—and thereby avoids becoming an object of knowledge itself, the target of a possible critique. David Halperin in Saint Foucault, 47. Silence itself--the things one declines to say, or is forbidden to name, the discretion that is required between different speakers--is less the absolute limit of discourse, the other side from which it is separated by a strict boundary, than an element that functions alongside the things said, with them and in relation to them within over-all strategies. There is no binary division to be made between what one says and what one does not say; we must try to determine the different ways of not saying things, how those who can and those who cannot speak of them are distributed, which type of discourse is authorized, or which form of discretion is required in either case. There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses. Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality: An Introduction Vol.

It extends queer theory to the texts as a way to expand them beyond the limits of their original sociocultural publication contexts. This thesis examines models of reproduction, queer embodiment, and world-building in The Well of Loneliness, lesbian pulp fiction, and radical feminist manifestos in order to examine how the authors write worlds beyond the limits of liberal feminist propriety, and imagine radical queer futures through oozing poetic sensibilities. “Feet Down, New Planet” contributes to queer theories of excess by mapping a cartographic and affective history of queer literary excess, and curates the exorbitant world-building frameworks Radclyffe Hall, Valerie Taylor, Jill Johnston, and Valerie Solanas imagine. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction: Feet Down…………………………………………………………………...... 1 Chapter I: Flesh Temporalities: Womb as Queer Counterpublic in The Well of Loneliness… 4 Introduction: The Well of Loneliness………………………………………………….. 4 Situating the Womb………………………………………………………………….

  • Lesbian Nation by Tina Gianoulis
    Lesbian Nation by Tina Gianoulis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Lesbian Nation, a collection of essays published by feminist writer Jill Johnston in 1973, was an important early manifesto of lesbian feminist and separatist politics. The term "lesbian nation" became a rallying cry and a powerful symbol of solidarity for early political lesbians, who sought to transform what they saw as a patriarchal society that oppressed and excluded them. Jill Johnston During the early 1970s, Jill Johnston was a writer for the bohemian New York newspaper The Village Voice. She was also an exuberant feminist theorist, and an irrepressibly outspoken lesbian. Her book, Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution, included many pieces previously published in the Voice, and was dedicated "for my mother, who should have been a lesbian and for my daughter in hopes she will be." The essays, with titles such as "There Wasn't a Dyke in the Land," "The Second Sucks and the Feminine Mystake," and "Amazons and Archedykes," articulated Johnston's incisive critiques of patriarchy and the straight feminist movement, spiced with outrageous humor, sex, and gossip. Johnston's style was brash, passionate, and eccentric. With few sentence breaks and fewer paragraph breaks, her ideas seemed to spill out in a brilliant chaotic avalanche. As she writes in the essay "Love at First Sex," "I think I was so angry that I was conducting a one woman revolution through a very slow calculated but unrelenting exposure of myself in the guise of a literary code hopefully so challenging and fascinating and entertaining and difficult to read that any premature retaliation from a hostile society would be discouraged." In the general climate of intellectual, political, and sexual excitement that was the early lesbian movement, Johnston's style of personal revelation, mixed with radical political theory, was immensely appealing.

    11 Book Revws (jk/d) 2/7/01 1:29 pm Page 405 Book Reviews QUEER DESIRE IN RUSSIA Laurie Essig Queer in Russia: A Story of Sex, Self, and the Other Durham, NC and London: Duke University Press, 1999, 244 pp., ISBN 0-8223- 2346-X With Queer in Russia, Laurie Essig has written an interesting, challenging and very complex book that deserves attention from both queer theorists and researchers on contemporary Russia. Depicted on the cover wearing men’s clothing in front of Moscow’s famous Bolshoi Theatre (which is, significantly enough, under renova- tion), author Essig seeks, in her own ‘inappropriate’ way, to make clear the literal ambiguity embedded in the book’s title and to flesh out the seriousness with which its subtitle should be taken. ‘Sex’ here is a fluid and dubious category, and so are ‘self’ and ‘the other’. For when you turn the book over and look at its back cover, you learn that the specific Queer in Russia to whom the title seems to refer is none other than the author posing as the other – that is, as a Russian ‘trans- sexual’. Though it may take quite a while to fully realize the book cover’s function as a kind of puzzle picture where you can never be sure of exactly what or who is rep- resented, this entertaining and provoking opening is symptomatic of Essig’s writing style in more ways than one. First, it discloses the author’s deep resistance to epistemological clichés and easy interpretations: while reading the book, you are constantly forced to reconsider the concept of identity and, as the Russian queers of the 1990s surface as subjectivities instead of fixed identities, re-evaluate the identity politics of queerness, which are usually taken for granted by the political movements of lesbians and gay men in the so-called western world.
