It is meant to disseminate what we have deemed important information throughout our studies. This information may be used as a tool for all people, women in particular, who wish to dismantle the oppressions they face externally, and within their own lives. We are two men and one woman attempting to grasp at how we can deconstruct the patriarchal foundations upon which we perceive an unjust society has been built. We hope that at least some component of this work will be found useful to a variety of readers. This Zine is meant to be an introduction into anarcha-feminism, its origins, applications, and potentials. Buen provecho! We acknowledge that anarcha-feminism has historically been a western theory; thus, unfortunately, much of this ziners content reflects this limitation. However, we have included some information and analysis on worldwide anarcha-feminists as well as global women's struggles which don't necessarily identify as anarchist.

    Starhawk: RNC New York Update #4 8-24-04 http://starhawk.org/activism/activism-writings/RNC_update4.html [Back to Starhawk's Activism Writings Page] [Back to Starhawk's Activism Page] RNC Update Number 4: Action Bardo by Starhawk I woke up this moring thinking about the Tibetan Book of the Dead, how it guides you through all the various hells that the spirit can travel through after death. It seemed we were trapped in some sort of action hell of plans that just wouldn’t come together and decisions that just couldn’t get made, and huge uncertainties. But perhaps that was just a reaction to an evening spent under the red gaze of the media. Monday night we did the anarchist panel. I spent the day putting together the press packets, lining up our press release and articles on “Are You an Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You.” (You can see the whole thing on www.anarco-nyc.net) Brush and Yvonne made the press calls: we wanted to make the point that anarchists are not about chaos but about organizing, so we needed to be organized. We had eight speakers, and Eric Laursen as the moderator. Cindy Millstein began. She’s a very brilliant and serious theorist who once had the misfortune to be locked up with the Pagan Cluster in a mass arrest. She suffered through our 2 AM group trance and 5AM yoga session, the belly dance class, the radical cheerleading lesson, and the spiral dance, with good grace. Actually, to make this simple here is the speakers’ list from our press packet: 1.

  • The Dancing Body: Hoping Anyone? 31
    The Dancing Body: Hoping Anyone? 31 The Dancing Body: Hopping Anyone?' Evadne Kelly Department ofAnthropology McMaster University Abstract How can the body ·which is constantly changing inspire understanding about life and about lmoyviedge? I am inspired by memories ofseeing andparticipating in dan'ce thatfelt inclusive. These memories remind me that dance can be a g([t, to both the participant and the observel~ ofa sense offreedom, agency and collective. The left wing modern dance movement in New York, toyi-toyi/7'om the South African anti-apartheid movement, and radical cheerleading at a protest ofthe Free Trade Area ofthe Americas are all examples ofthis. I want to draw from this understanding ofdance in order to allOYv for feelings ofabundance, empowerment and agency in my ·writing about the dancing body and hope. I am filled with a sense of the possibilitiesfor history and memory in subverting hegemony through the dancing body. I can see how hist01J! or memory also embodies the on-going creation ofthe landscapes ofthe present. It is notjust the constructed narratives that those with the power to do so produce about themselves and others 'pasts. I want to bring some oflife ~~ patchiness into 1I~J! own attempt to tell a st01)i based on a different ·writing structure so that I mightplay with structure in a "!'FaY that breaks with modern ideas o.fprogress and IGlOwledge production.

  • Some Things We Need for a Feminist Revolution Nina Nijsten
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Strategy contribution Volume 3 (2): 214 - 225 (November 2011) Nijsten, Some things we need Some things we need for a feminist revolution Nina Nijsten Abstract To work towards a feminist society, a strong feminist movement is a sine qua non. This paper discusses ten tools and tips that are useful for the creation of a dynamic and powerful movement. Collective activism, non-hierarchical organising, networks, meeting, spaces, means, education, media, protest and alternatives and fun and rest can help feminist activists in their struggle to have their voices heard and their demands applied. Introduction Everything looked so promising in the 1970s, an era of hope for radical feminist changes. Feminist bookstores, consciousness-raising groups, women’s healthcare projects, feminist writings and research, feminist media and culture, activist collectives, women’s houses, women-run publishing houses, huge protest marches and other projects. Alternatives as well as resistance and criticism to move our society towards a more equal and women-positive place. The feminist activism of the so-called second wave is a source of inspiration for me because at that time women gathered in large numbers to take action together, create projects that envisioned their feminist future and think radically and critically about gender, power and oppression. But somehow it ended, and although some of these radical initiatives are still there, maybe in a somewhat other shape, a lot of it is gone too. Work and knowledge has disappeared (like the magazines and books that were written at the time and are hard to find today) or forgotten (like analyses about sexism and patriarchy and experiences with activism and alternatives).
