  • Law, Literature, and Feminism
    Comments Convergences: Law, Literature, and Feminism Carolyn Heilbrun* and Judith Resnik** One of us is a professor of law, the other a professor of literature, and both of us are professed feminists. To teach together, the obvious joint venture was feminism. Hence the title of a course: "Feminist Theory: Law and Literature" and our intensive study of the emerging field of "law and literature." But when we delved into the newly-minted disci- pline, we found to our dismay (and even, admitting, never-ending naivet) that like both "law" and "literature," much of that hyphenated field ex- amines a world in which white men attempt from a place of power to speak as if for us all.

  • Frontier Migration, Nature, and Early Ecofeminism in Caroline Kirkland’S a New Home, Who’Ll Follow? (1839)
    From “Wall-Flower” to “Queen of the Forest”: Frontier Migration, Nature, and Early Ecofeminism in Caroline Kirkland’s A New Home, Who’ll Follow? (1839) Alexandra Ganser ABSTRACT In The Land Before Her: Fantasy and Experience of the American Frontiers, Annette Kolod- ny asserts that women’s literature claimed the West “as a potential sanctuary for an idealized do- mesticity” (xii) rather than imagining the “[m]assive exploitation and alteration of the continent” (xiii). Kolodny cites Caroline Kirkland’s A New Home, Who’ll Follow? (1839) as a key example of how women’s narratives imagined the triumph of domesticity in the ‘wilderness.’ This essay argues that Kirkland articulates mobility—understood as “socially produced motion” (Cresswell 3) according to the “new mobilities” (Urry) paradigm proposed by recent work in cultural geogra- phy—as a basis for transformed notions of both home and the natural environment. Analyzing its environmental imagination, I explore how A New Home, on the one hand, casts migration as fun- damental for a sensitized perception of the environment that challenges patriarchal notions of sub- duing the land as much as traditional ideas of domesticity. Kirkland undermines the conceptual binary between movement and domesticity in ways that question the environmental implications of both. At the same time, her western “removal” obscures the simultaneous removal of Native Americans in the 1830s and 1840s, erasing the ‘Indian’ not only from ‘civilization,’ but also from ‘natural’ American landscapes. The article discusses the environmental implications of a pioneer woman’s account of the frontier as fundamentally tied to effects of migration and relocation.

  • Feminist Literary Criticism and Speculations on Women
    Christina Crosby Stranger than Truth: Feminist Literary Criticism and Speculations on Women In opening her lecture on women and fiction, Virginia Woolf consi­ dered that "when a subject is highly controversial-and any question about sex is that-one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold."' These days, among literary critics at least, controversies about literature and theor­ ies of representation are perhaps as sharp as debates about women and men. Indeed, questions about the relationship of literature and theory are often marked by attention to sexual difference. So in considering developments in feminist literary criticism and developments in liter­ ary theory, as I propose to do, the problem of the truth is particularly acute, for the subject includes women and literature-and theories about both. By surveying, in necessarily general terms, the grounds of feminist criticism, and by asking what constitutes a theoretical vantage point, I hope to suggest just how important the truth of women is to our ways of understanding literature, even if the importance of this truth is its very impossibility. Feminist literary criticism takes as its object of study women and representation, the relation of which has come to be conceptualized in three major ways: as representations of women, or images of women in literature; as representations by women, or women's writing; and as women and "the conditions of representability," or the relation of sexual difference to the very possibility of signification. 2 While impor­ tant differences distinguish the work of critics who advance one of these conceptions in favor of another, all agree that sexual difference functions hierarchically in our culture, making woman the second sex, and that literature, as a cultural product, is caught up in the conse­ quences of this asymmetrical difference.

  • Annette Kolodny Offers a Radically New Interpretation of Two Medieval Icelandic Tales, Known As the Vinland Sagas
    The Wolfe Institute The Ethyle R.Wolfe Institute for the Humanities, in cooperation with the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Center for Italian American Studies, the American Studies Program, and the Department of English, presents From Brooklyn College to Vinland and Back In In Search of First Contact, Annette Kolodny offers a radically new interpretation of two medieval Icelandic tales, known as the Vinland sagas. She contends that they are the first known European narratives about contact with North America. After carefully explaining the evidence for that conclusion, Kolodny examines what happened after 1837, when English translations of the two sagas became widely available and enormously popular in the United States. She assesses their impact on literature, immigration policy, and concepts of masculinity. Kolodny considers what the sagas reveal about the Native peoples encountered by the Norse in Vinland around the year A.D. 1000, and she recovers Native American stories of first contacts with Europeans, including one that has never before been shared outside of Native communities. These stories contradict the dominant narrative of “first contact” between Europeans and the New World. Kolodny rethinks the lingering power of a mythic American Viking heritage and the long-standing debate over whether Leif Eiriksson or Christopher Columbus should be credited as the first discoverer. With this paradigm-shattering work, Kolodny shows what literary criticism can bring to historical and social scientific endeavors. Annette Kolodny is College of Humanities Professor Emerita of American Literature and Culture at the University of Arizona. She is the author of Failing the Future: A Dean Looks at Higher Education in the Twenty-first Century and the editor of The Life and Traditions of the Red Man, by Joseph Nicolar, both also published by Duke University Press.

  • "What Are We Doing, Really? - Feminist Criticism and the Problem of Theory"
    "WHAT ARE WE DOING, REALLY? - FEMINIST CRITICISM AND THE PROBLEM OF THEORY" Patrocinio Schweichart In "Free Women", the novel within a novel in Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook, Tommy, a young man suffering from an identity crisis, accuses Anna, a writer suffering from a writer's block, of dishonesty for keeping four notebooks instead of one. 'After all, you take your stand on something, don't you? Yes you do - you despise people like my father, who limit themselves. But you limit yourself too . For the same reason. You're afraid. You're being irresponsible.' He made this final judgement the pouting, deliberate mouth smiling with satis- faction. Anna realized that this was what he had come to say. This was the point they had been working towards all evening.' Shortly afterwards, Tommy shoots himself. He does not die - he is blinded, and this produces a surprising change in him. His mother observes: He's happy for the first time in his life . he's all in one piece for the first time in his life.' Molly gasped in horror at her own words, hearing what she had said: all in one piece, and matching them against the truth of that mutilation.2 Lessing underscores the irony further. In Tommy's story, blindness and mutilation do not, as one might expect, signify castration. Instead they become FEMINIST CRITICISM the preconditions for attaining phallic power. By blinding himself, Tommy escapes the influence of the women who nurtured him, and qualifies himself to succeed his father as "husband" to his father's alcoholic wife and as head of his corporate empire.

    WWOOMMEENN''SS SSTTUUDDIIEESS RREEAADDIINNGG AANNDD RREESSOOUURRCCEE LLIISSTT --- compiled by Katherine Arens and Jill Rader -- The Center for Women's Studies The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas August 1999 Women's Studies Reading and Resource List, 2 On the Women's Studies Reading and Resource List The Center for Women's Studies at UT Austin is proud to make available a new educational resource - a comprehensive yet selected reading and resource list that reflects the breadth and richness of Women's Studies' teaching and scholarship on our campus. The idea for this resource grew out of a meeting held at UT INTERACTIVE on Saturday, March 6, 1999. This was a time set aside for major interdisciplinary programs on campus to meet to discuss ways to make their respective programs more visible on the campus and to develop important program initiatives. The set of initiatives I proposed for our meeting centered around the WS Graduate Portfolio Program (for information, see <http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/docport/ws.html>) and our graduate programming. They were: (a) developing an interdisciplinary feminist theory seminar and an interdisciplinary feminist methods seminar for the Graduate Portfolio program and (b) exploring directions for a WS master's program and joint WS master's and doctoral programs, possibly in association with other degree programs on campus. Invited to the meeting were WS affiliates from across the campus with particular interests and expertise in these areas. As is often the case in these kinds of settings, new possibilities emerged and took on a life of their own. Discussions about the interdisciplinary feminist methods seminar led to a suggestion by Katie Arens to develop this Reading and Resource List.
