Introduction 1 Notes Introduction 1. Cooper (1979, 152–53). 2. In the vast literature that emerged in response to September 11, 2001, the gendering of both terrorist practice and terrorist subjectivity has gone largely ignored, reflecting a more generalized neglect of the study of the gendering of terrorism. The small number of feminist and queer analyses of terrorism include, for example, Hawthorne and Winter, eds. (2002); Morgan (2001); and Puar (2007). 3. Cooper (1979, 152–53). 4. I Shot Andy Warhol, directed by Mary Harron (Los Angeles: Orion Pictures/Samuel Goldwyn Company, 1996), 35mm film. 5. Soliah’s sentence was passed down amid the human rights scandal concerning the extraterritorial detention center at Guantanamo Bay. 6. Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst, directed by Robert Stone (New York: Magnolia Pictures/New Video Group, 2003) 35mm film;The Weather Underground, directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel (Sausalito, CA: Roco Films, 2002), 35mm film. Guerrilla represents Patricia Hearst’s terrorist metamorphosis, which is discussed in detail later in this book. 7. Berendse and Cornils (2008, 7). 8. Berendse and Cornils (2008, 14). 9. I have placed “radically unfamiliar” in quotation marks here because, although the events of September 11 were most often encoded in dominant cultural representa- tions as “extra-ordinary” and “unfamiliar,” part of terrorism’s ability to generate affect lies in its invocation of the “familiar” Western imagining of the end of society (see Chapter Four). 10. For example, Cronin and Ludes, eds. (2004) collate the views of “some of the world’s finest experts, people who have made the study of this rising menace their life’s work” (“Attacking Terrorism,” Georgetown University Press online, accessed 28 March 2014, http://press.georgetown.edu/book/georgetown/attacking- terrorism); and Rapoport, ed. (2005), is a four-volume set that reprints historical literature on terrorism. For further examples, see also: Jenkins (2003); Hoffman (2006); Laqueur (2001, 2004a, and 2004b); Cooper and Redlinger (2006); Rapoport, ed. (2001); Rapoport and Weinberg, eds. (2001); Wilkinson (2006); and Nye et al. (2003). 11. Zwerman (1992, 140). 174 ● Notes 12. Herman and O’Sullivan (1989). 13. In many places in his work, Bauman theorizes modernity as a project of constructing order. See, for example, Bauman (2001c). 1 Conceptualizing Terrorism 1. Johnson (1978, 268). 2. Horowitz (1983, 38–39). Horowitz here refers to “external guerrilla power”: acts of terrorism “from below” that are “external” and therefore threatening to the institu- tions of the state. 3. Quainton (1983, 53). 4. Laqueur (1977); Freedman and Alexander, eds. (1983); Crenshaw, ed. (1983b). 5. See, for example, Barnhurst (1991); Jenkins (2003); and Crenshaw (1983a, 1–37). 6.

Jenkins (2003, 18). 15. Jenkins (2003, 18). 16. Borradori (2003c, xiii). 17. This approach is informed by Jacques Derrida’s observation that “the most pow- erful and destructive appropriation of terrorism is precisely its use as a self- evident concept by all the parties involved” (Borradori, 2003b, 152). As Borradori suggests, “the deconstruction of the notion of terrorism is the only politically responsible course of action because the public use of it, as if it were a self-evident notion, perversely helps the terrorist cause” (Borradori, 2003c, xiii). 18. Freedman (1983, 3) (my emphasis). See also Tuman (2003, 5) and Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 15). 19. See, for example, Tuman (2003); Alexander and Picard, eds. (1991); Nacos (1994); Combs (2003); and Alali and Eke, eds. (1991). 20. Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 9). 21. Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 14). 22. Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 15). 23. Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 15). 24. See, for example, McQuail (2000, 52–53), for a description of this model as the “transmission model”; and Schirato and Yell (1996, 1–21), for a discussion of this model as the “process model.” 25. This model of communication has been a useful ally of the media effects tradi- tion, which has historically sought to draw conclusions about audience responses to messages based on content analyses of media texts. Notes ● 175 26. McQuail (1982, ii). 27. See, for example, Ang (1991) and Seiter (1999). 28. Schmid and de Graaf (1982, 15). 29. While Schmid and de Graaf conceptualize the audience as the “public” in the quotation above, I am referring to both terrorism’s popular and its “official” audiences. 30. Gupta (2002, 14–15). 31.

Borradori (2003b, 139). 37. Derrida in Borradori (2003a, 91). 38. All forms of “violence” and “criminality” can be understood as forms of commu- nication. See, for example, Bardsley (1987). However, in the case of terrorism, the communicative dimension is explicitly foregrounded. 39. Baudrillard (2002, 5). 40. Baudrillard (2002, 5). 41. Borradori (2003b, 148). 42.

Throughout this book, when I refer to “dominant discourse,” I draw upon Terdiman’s definition. 49. Terdiman (1985, 93). 50. Terdiman (1985, 92–93). 51. Hall (1997, 50). 52. Terdiman (1985, 78). 53. Terdiman (1985, 87). 54. For example, Laqueur, perhaps the preeminent scholar on terrorism, whose 1977 text, Terrorism, has been a touchstone for many analyses of terrorism, has recently published The New Terrorism (Laqueur, 1999), History of Terrorism (Laqueur, 2001), No End to War (Laqueur, 2004a), and Voices of Terror (Laqueur, 2004b). See also Jenkins (2003) and Hoffman (2006). 55. Here I distinguish between the “traditional political economy” approach and the “critical political economy” approach. For an elaboration of the differences, see Golding and Murdock (1991). 56. Herman and O’Sullivan (1989, 55). 57. Herman and O’Sullivan (1989, 55). 58. Zwerman (1992, 136). 176 ● Notes 59.

MacDonald (1991, 2). 67. Townshend (2002, 2). 68. Hage (2003, 126). 69. That is, disproportionate given that terrorism has historically directly affected very small numbers of victims. As Charles Townshend notes, “something about terrorism makes its threat inflate, genie-like, way beyond its actual physical scale . [However] the physical threat posed by terrorism [is] dwarfed by other more quotidian dangers” (2002, 2). See also Laqueur (1978, 5). 70. Jenkins (2003, 27). 71. Laqueur (1977, 79). 72.

This idea echoes Rubenstein’s claim that terrorism results from “a widening gap between a group’s ‘value expectations’ and the political system’s ‘value capabili- ties.’” (1989, 308–09). 82. Laqueur (1977, 11) (my emphasis). 83. See also Herman and O’Sullivan (1989). When this literature refers to “democ- racy,” it does not typically distinguish between the different forms of democracy that exist globally. 84. Herman and O’Sullivan (1989, 42). 85. Herman and O’Sullivan (1989, 39). 86. Even where scholars acknowledge that terrorism is not necessarily the sole preserve of nonstate actors, it is nonetheless conceptualized in relation to the political institution of the state. See, for example, Bassiouni (1983, 178). 87. Jenkins (2003, 28). 88. Jenkins (2003, 28). 89. Jenkins (2003, 28). 90. Crenshaw (1983a, 1–37). 91. However, it needs to be acknowledged that not all states are understood as beyond terrorism. Indeed, Western terrorism studies has often emphasized the terroristic Notes ● 177 tendencies of communist and fascist nation-states. However, democratic states are usually positioned as the expression of popular political will, and hence outside the potential to be labeled “terrorist.” 92. Terdiman (1985, 63) (my emphasis). 93.

  • (The) Sisterhood Is Powerful: Remarks by Rabbi Rachel M. Isaacs Upon the Inauguration of the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Professorship in Jewish Studies
    (The) Sisterhood is Powerful: Remarks by Rabbi Rachel M. Isaacs upon the Inauguration of the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Professorship in Jewish Studies. November 19, 2015 Colby College, Waterville, Maine In October of 1957, the Beth Israel Congregation sisterhood met to discuss issues that ranged from the pedestrian to the controversial. After a vigorous conversation on the value of having a gossip column in the synagogue newsletter, the women of the sisterhood turned to their attention to an issue that was as salacious as it was fantastical: the possibility of women rabbis. Even though the Reform movement had ordained one woman, Regina Jonas, in Germany before the Holocaust, she had perished with her congregation in the concentration camps, and was largely forgotten by the mainstream Jewish world for many decades to come. But on this day in October of 1957, the sisterhood leaders of Beth Israel Congregation discussed the issue in Waterville, Maine. According to synagogue records, “Mrs. George Chesner introduced Rabbi Steinberg who was the speaker of the evening. His topic - ‘Women Rabbis’.” Sisterhood secretary Esther Paikowsky recorded his remarks: “Rabbi Steinberg is definitely opposed to women following this 1 profession. One reason being that there would not be a ‘Rebbetzin (a rabbi’s wife), and since a ‘Rebbetzin’ has functional duties in a congregation, it would not do to have the husband perform these duties. Another objection is who would raise the family and care for the home, certainly a man cannot do that. Therefore a man

While incarcerated for the attack, she penned the "S.C.U.M. Manifesto"—"The Society for Cutting Up Men." By doing so, Solanis appropriated the traditionally masculine manifesto genre, which had evolved from sov- ereign proclamations of the 1600s into a form of radical protest of the 1960s. Feminist appropriation of the manifesto genre can be traced as far back as the 1848 Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention, at which suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Martha Coffin, and Mary Ann McClintock parodied the Declara- tion of Independence with their "Declaration of Sentiments" (Campbell, 1989).

  • The Grand Experiment of Sisterhood Is Powerful by Jennifer Gilley Robin
    “This Book Is An Action”: The Grand Experiment of Sisterhood is Powerful By Jennifer Gilley This paper was presented as part of "A Revolutionary Moment: Women's Liberation in the late 1960s and early 1970s," a conference organized by the Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program at Boston University, March 27-29, 2014. This paper was part of the panel titled “Women Revolt: Publishing Feminists, Publishing Feminisms.” Robin Morgan’s 1970 anthology Sisterhood is Powerful (SIP) was a landmark work of the second wave feminist movement and a major popularizer of radical feminism outside the limited scope of urban-based women’s liberation groups. As Morgan notes in her memoir, it became “the ‘click,’ the first feminist epiphany for hundreds of thousands of women, and the staple of mushrooming women’s studies courses around the world.”1 Indeed, the New York Public Library picked SIP as one of its Books of the Century, one of 11 books listed under the heading “Women Rise.” As an anthology of radical feminist essays, some of which had already been published as pamphlets or by the movement press, SIP’s purpose was to collect in one place the diverse voices of women’s liberation to enable distribution, and thus radicalization, on a massive scale. Morgan achieved this purpose by publishing her collection with Random House, who had the marketing and distribution reach to get copies into every supermarket in America, but radical feminism and Random House made strange bedfellows to say the least. Random House was the very figurehead of what June Arnold would later call “the finishing press” (because it is out to finish our movement) and Carol Seajay would dub LICE, or the Literary Industrial Corporate Establishment.

She was sixty­seven, and she had battled schizophrenia for decades, surviving on public assistance. There was no food in the apartment, and one theory is that Firestone starved, though no autopsy was conducted, by preference of her Orthodox Jewish family. Such a solitary demise would have been unimaginable to anyone who knew Firestone in the late nineteen­sixties, when she was at the epicenter of the radical­feminist movement, Firestone, top left, in 1970, at the beach, surrounded by some of the same women who, a reading “The Second Sex”; center left, with month after her death, gathered in St. Mark’s Gloria Steinem, in 2000; and bottom right, Church In­the­Bowery, to pay their respects. in 1997.

My thesis attempts to show the many belief systems that second wave feminists possessed concerning the role(s) of women and violence in revolutionary organizations. Hence, by using the Weathermen as a framework, I discuss various feminist essentialist and pacifist critiques of violence. I also include an analysis of feminists who, similar to the Weathermen, embraced political violence. For example, radical feminists Robin Morgan and Jane Alpert criticized the Weathermen’s violent tactics while other feminists such as Ti-Grace Atkinson and Valerie Solanas advocated that women “pick up the gun” in order to destroy patriarchal society.

  • Three Waves of Feminism
    01-Krolokke-4666.qxd 6/10/2005 2:21 PM Page 1 1 Three Waves of Feminism From Suffragettes to Grrls e now ask our readers to join us in an exploration of the history of W feminism or, rather, feminisms: How have they evolved in time and space? How have they framed feminist communication scholarship in terms of what we see as a significant interplay between theory and politics? And how have they raised questions of gender, power, and communication? We shall focus our journey on the modern feminist waves from the 19th to the 21st century and underscore continuities as well as disruptions. Our starting point is what most feminist scholars consider the “first wave.” First-wave feminism arose in the context of industrial society and liberal politics but is connected to both the liberal women’s rights movement and early socialist feminism in the late 19th and early 20th century in the United States and Europe. Concerned with access and equal opportunities for women, the first wave continued to influence feminism in both Western and Eastern societies throughout the 20th century. We then move on to the sec- ond wave of feminism, which emerged in the 1960s to 1970s in postwar Western welfare societies, when other “oppressed” groups such as Blacks and homosexuals were being defined and the New Left was on the rise. Second-wave feminism is closely linked to the radical voices of women’s empowerment and differential rights and, during the 1980s to 1990s, also to a crucial differentiation of second-wave feminism itself, initiated by women of color and third-world women.
