Feminist Periodicals The Univers ty of W scons n System Feminist Periodicals A current listing of contents WOMEN'S STUDIES Volume 27, Number 4, Fall 2007 Published by Phyllis Holman Weisbard LIBRARIAN Women's Studies Librarian Feminist Periodicals A current listing ofcontents Volume 27, Number 4 (Fall 2007) Periodical literature is the cutting edge ofwomen's scholarship, feminist theory, and much ofwomen's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is pUblished by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing pUblic awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast ofcurrent topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first pUblication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. Subscription prices (print only; for online prices, consult publisher). 4. Subscription address. 5. Current editor. 6. Editorial address (if different from subscription address). 7. International Standard Serials Number (ISSN). 8. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. 9. Selected publications in which the journal is indexed. 10. Selected fUlitext products in which publication appears or vendor intermediaries who make the full text available. 11. SUbject focus/statement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 11 are used to identify the different categories of information. Our goal in FP is to represent English-language periodicals from around the world that focus on women's studies or women's issues. Generally, we do not include mainstream newsstand magazines. We are also unable to include periodicals that lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to bUild a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate possible inclusion in FP and indexing elsewhere. Interested readers will find more complete information on feminist periodicals in DWM: A DirectoryofWomen's Media, pUblished by the National Council for Research on Women (530 Broadway at Spring Street, New York, NY 10012); and in Women's Periodicals and Newspapers: A Union Lisf of the Holdings of Madison Area Libraries, edited by James P. Danky and compiled by Maureen E. Hady, Barry Christopher, and Neill E. Strache (Boston: G.K. Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvements of Feminist Periodicals are gratefully received. We would particularly appreciate assistance from readers in the UW System with our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up to date. Please let us know about new subscriptions, subscriptions we have overlooked, cancellations, or other pertinent information. Feminist Periodicals is also available on microfilm at the library of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.

  • The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism by Cassie
    #TrendingFeminism: The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism by Cassie Clark B.A. in English and Theatre, May 2007, St. Olaf College A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 17, 2015 Thesis directed by Todd Ramlow Adjunct Professor of Women’s Studies This work is dedicated to my grandfather, who, upon being told that I was planning to attend graduate school, responded, “Good, you should have more education than your father.” ii The author wishes to acknowledge Dr. Todd Ramlow for his expertise, knowledge, and encouragement. She also wishes to acknowledge Dr. Alexander Dent for his invaluable guidance regarding the performance of media and digital technologies. iii Abstract of Thesis #TrendingFeminism: The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism As the use of online platforms such as social networking sites, also known as social media, and blogs grew in popularity, feminists began to embrace digital media as a significant space for activism. Digital feminist activism is a new iteration of feminist activism, offering new tools and tactics for feminists to utilize to spread awareness, disseminate information, and mobilize constituents. In this paper I examine the intent, usefulness, and potential impact of digital feminist activism in the United States by analyzing key examples of social movements conducted via digital media. These analyses not only provide useful examples of a variety of digital feminist efforts, they also highlight strengths and weaknesses in each campaign with the aim of improving the impact of future digital feminist campaigns.

  • Yiddish and the Avant-Garde in American Jewish Poetry Sarah
    Yiddish and the Avant-Garde in American Jewish Poetry Sarah Ponichtera Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Sarah Ponichtera All rights reserved All Louis Zukofsky material Copyright Paul Zukofsky; the material may not be reproduced, quoted, or used in any manner whatsoever without the explicit and specific permission of the copyright holder. A fee will be charged. ABSTRACT Yiddish and the Avant-Garde in American Jewish Poetry Sarah Ponichtera This dissertation traces the evolution of a formalist literary strategy through the twentieth century in both Yiddish and English, through literary and historical analyses of poets and poetic groups from the turn of the century until the 1980s. It begins by exploring the ways in which the Yiddish poet Yehoash built on the contemporary interest in the primitive as he developed his aesthetics in the 1900s, then turns to the modernist poetic group In zikh (the Introspectivists) and their efforts to explore primitive states of consciousness in individual subjectivity. In the third chapter, the project turns to Louis Zukofsky's inclusion of Yehoash's Yiddish translations of Japanese poetry in his own English epic, written in dialogue with Ezra Pound. It concludes with an examination of the Language poets of the 1970s, particularly Charles Bernstein's experimental verse, which explores the way that language shapes consciousness through the use of critical and linguistic discourse. Each of these poets or poetic groups uses experimental poetry as a lens through which to peer at the intersections of language and consciousness, and each explicitly identifies Yiddish (whether as symbol or reality) as an essential component of their poetic technique.

ACEJMC Standard 5 5-3 STANDARD 5—SCHOLARSHIP: RESEARCH, CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY 1. Describe the institution’s mission regarding scholarship by faculty and the unit’s policies for achieving that mission. Faculty at High Point University are expected to develop robust academic and/or creative work agendas. As noted in the faculty handbook: Effective faculty members are actively engaged with their academic fields as scholars and as confident exponents and interpreters of their disciplines. They are so engaged because of their abiding interest in and passion for the practice of the discipline (. .). Faculty scholarship can help shape the academic environment at the University. Faculty scholarship creates an intellectual atmosphere at the University that sets before faculty members and students alike a model for a community that can inspire and motivate students and faculty to higher levels of personal achievement. Faculty scholarship brings recognition not just to the person but also to the community that has formed itself to support such activity.

This readable and accessible guide links questions of identity, individualization, multiculturalism, and mediation to a politics of culture.The book draws from debates in political theory, cultural studies and sociology, and focuses on issues such as: • The reshaping of citizenship by globalization • New social movements • The decline of the nation-state • The impact of popular culture Stevenson argues that questions of cosmopolitanism are increasingly likely to emerge within these contexts.Whether we are discussing the destruction of the environment, issues of cultural policy, the city, or consumer culture, these questions can all be linked to cosmopolitan dimensions. Issues of rights, obligations and cultural respect are now Citizenship Cultural all central to the way in which we conceive our common world.This original book asks us to rethink the kinds of politics and personhood that are suitable for an information age.

    Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal: 21st Anniversary Issue Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal. 21st Anniversary Issue: Conversations on Creativity, Activism, and Jewish Feminist Identity. Ed. Clare Kinberg. Volume 16: 1 (Spring 2011). Reviewed by Evelyn Torton Beck, Women’s Studies Professor Emerita, University of Maryland, College Park, USA Even more than I had anticipated, reading and rereading this 240 page volume of Bridges (possibly the last print copy of the journal) was not only a pleasure, but a deeply satisfying experience; unique in its format, it is among the best that Bridges has produced in its twenty one years of publication. The issue is constructed around a series of conversations between previous contributors to the journal. While some contributors deliberately chose partners they knew personally or with whose work they were familiar, others were paired by the editor; but however they ended up together, the pairings worked well. Conveying the richness, honesty, and spontaneity of these conversations (whose themes overlap and intertwine) proved to be a challenge. How was I to convey the depth and complexity of these thirty- five separate essays (and twice that many voices), which continued to speak long after I had closed the volume? Not surprisingly, these exchanges combine the personal with the political, the particular with the universal. The conversation partners include poets, novelists and visual artists; rabbis, modern orthodox, secular and atheist; academics and community workers; young and old; Jews by choice and born Jews; Sephardic and Ashkenazi, Caucasians and African-Americans; lesbian, heterosexual and queer Jews; able-bodied and physically challenged, reaching across multiple lines of linguistic, geographic, ethnic and racial differences.
