    Syllabus PHIL 607/CRN 26316 Dr. Bonnie Mann Feminist Philosophy: Proseminar 371 PLC: 346-5541 T/Th 2-3:50 pm Office Hrs: Tues 4:00-6:00 pm or by appt. 353 PLC [email protected] Purpose The purpose of this course is twofold: 1) to give students an opportunity to reflect on what it means to study and practice philosophy as a woman, i.e. from a position of alterity in relation to the dominant traditions in Western philosophy and 2) to introduce students to basic texts and basic topics in feminist philosophy. By the end of the term students should be able to speak competently about important themes in feminist philosophy, such as identity, the self-other relation, sexuality, gendered embodiment, agency and freedom; and about the contributions of a number of important thinkers in feminist philosophy. Students will gain exposure to feminist appropriations and criticisms of the Western philosophical tradition as well as debates within feminist thinking. Description Feminist philosophy is philosophical thought that emerges out of and in relation to social movements for women’s emancipation. It works toward the recuperation of women’s and feminist thought in the history of philosophy, an understanding of the human condition as it is lived by women, an articulation of women’s ways of knowing in relation to epistemologies that have implicitly or explicitly excluded women, and interrogating political and ethical practices from a feminist perspective. Though we commonly think of “feminist philosophy” as a recent development, scholars agree that philosophical work that exhibits a feminist sensibility has been a critical counter-voice to the mainstream Western tradition since its inception.

  • Bonnie Mann University of Oregon Feminists
    Konturen II (2009) 79 What Should Feminists do about Nature? Bonnie Mann University of Oregon Feminists, including this one, have two problems with nature: a special problem which is a historical and political problem, and an ontological problem that we share with everyone else (our metabolism with the earth). My claim is that the first problem is so acute that it tends to make us forget the second. The fundamental division in contemporary feminist thinking can be described as that between feminists who are interested in deconstructing, all the way down, the notion of natural differences between women and men as pre-social, and feminists who are interested in recuperating, re-affirming or asserting some version of originary sexual difference. By returning to Simone de Beauvoir, we find that even at this early moment in contemporary feminist thought a more complex account of nature was already articulated. Beauvoir helps us understand how structures of injustice are parasitically entangled with general features of human existence, even those that seem most “natural.” At one founding moment of contemporary feminist thinking, then, deconstructive and descriptive engagements with the question of nature, far from being opposed, are co-necessary features of feminist thought. “Nature” is the historical millstone hung round the necks of women. It is not the only such stone, but it has been the heaviest and the most securely tied. If we understand feminism to be first a social movement for the emancipation of women, then we recognize that the question of nature has been the central question for feminism because the question of nature is the question of freedom for women.

  • The Difference of Feminist Phenomenology: the Case of Shame
    PUNCTA Journal of Critical Phenomenology THE DIFFERENCE OF FEMINIST PHENOMENOLOGY: THE CASE OF SHAME BONNIE MANN University of Oregon Is feminist phenomenology just a phenomenological inquiry into the specific phenom- enon of “woman,” or carried out from the specific point of view of a woman? In other words, is it a species of applied phenomenology, where phenomenological method or practice is taken as complete and competent, and simply put to work by a new subject or in relation to a new object? If this is the case, sexed embodiment may be disclosed as the origin of meanings and values that have previously been missing from the phenomeno- logical account—but it is a version of phenomenological practice that has already been established which yields the disclosure. When feminist phenomenologists commit to this line of thinking about what feminist phenomenology is, they find all the resources needed to do feminist phenomenology already there in Edmund Husserl, or Emmanuel Levinas, or Maurice Merleau-Ponty, waiting to be set to work on the phenomenon of woman. But does the phenomenon suffer in the process? Or does feminist phenomenology pose a challenge or even a threat to phenomenology as it has been practiced? Is it, in other words, disruptive and transformative in its nature and its aims? Does the object of concern for feminist phenomenology or the particularity of the subject undertaking the inquiry shape things in such a way that the inherited prac- tice is not simply deployed, but destroyed? And if so, what emerges as the practice of femi- nist phenomenology from the ashes? If feminist phenomenology is not simply an act of de- struction, what else is it? In other words, what is the difference of feminist phenomenology? In what follows I approach these questions first through an examination of what two feminist phenomenologists, Sara Heinämaa and Johanna Oksala, each with very differ- ent relations to the phenomenological canon, have to say about feminist phenomenolog- ical practice.
