  • The Nuclear Freeze Campaign and the Role of Organizers
    Week Three Reading Guide: The Nuclear Freeze campaign and the role of organizers The reading by Redekop has been replaced by a book review by Randall Forsberg, and the long rough- cut video interview of Forsberg has been replaced by a shorter, more focused one. We start the first day with a brief discussion of Gusterson’s second article, building on the previous long discussion of the first one. September 23, 2019 Gusterson, H. 1999, “Feminist Militarism,” PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review 22.2, 17; https://doi.org/10.1525/pol.1999.22.2.17 This article focuses on the feminist themes Gusterson touched on in his earlier one. He begins restating the essentialist position and its opposition by feminists via “social constructedness.” Second-wave feminism started with Simone de Beauvoir’s idea that gender is constructed (“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman”) and extending to post-structuralist Judith Butler, for whom gender is a performance, potentially fluid, learned and practiced daily based on cultural norms and discourses. Gusterson is intrigued by the idea of feminist militarism as performance. “If we weren’t feminists when we went in [to the military], we were when we came out.” What was meant by this? How does the military culture described in the article reflect gender essentialism? On p. 22, Gusterson argues that the women’s movement and the peace movement “remake their mythic narratives… through the tropes of revitalization.” What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree? Why? Is feminist militarism feminist? Does your answer depend on whether you adopt essentialist or constructivist reasoning? Wittner, L.

  • Choosing Futures: Alva Myrdal and the Construction of Swedish Futures Studies, 1967–1972Ã
    IRSH 51 (2006), pp. 277–295 DOI: 10.1017/S0020859006002458 # 2006 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Choosing Futures: Alva Myrdal and the Construction of Swedish Futures Studies, 1967–1972à Jenny Andersson Summary: This article discusses the Swedish discourse on futures studies in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It focuses on the futures discourse of the group appointed by the Prime Minister, Olof Palme, in 1967 under the chairmanship of Alva Myrdal. The Swedish futures discourse focused on futures studies as a democratic means of reform in defence of the Swedish model and ‘‘Swedish’’ values of solidarity and equality, in opposition to an international futurology dominated by the Cold War and dystopic narratives of global disaster. The article suggests that the creation of Swedish futures studies, culminating in a Swedish institute for futures studies, can be seen as a highpoint of postwar planning and the Swedish belief in the possibility of constructing a particularly Swedish future from a particularly Swedish past. INTRODUCTION In 1971, the Swedish Prime Minister and leader of the Social Democratic Party (Socialdemokratiska arbetareparti, SAP), Olof Palme, appointed a group chaired by Alva Myrdal – feminist, social policy researcher, ambassador, minister, and eventually, in 1982, Nobel Peace Prize laureate1 – to study the future. In the early 1970s, Alva Myrdal was well-known through her work on disarmament and world peace, as well as, in the Swedish political context, her radical equality programme for the SAP in 1969. The equality programme was an ambitious attempt to relate social democratic ideology to the critique of the late 1960s and to rethink the à This article was first presented to the conference Alva Myrdal’s Questions to Our Time, Uppsala, 6–8 March 2002, and subsequently published in Swedish as ‘‘Alvas framtider’’, in Christina Florin and Torbjo¨ rn Lundqvist (eds), Historia – en va¨g till framtiden?

It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles by an authorized administrator of Alabama Law Scholarly Commons. The Polysemy of Privacy RONALD J. KROTOSZYNSKI, JR. "The Polysemy of Privacy " considers the highly protean nature of the concept of "privacy," which extends to myriad disparate legal interests, including nondisclosure, generalized autonomy interests, and even human dignity. For a concept of such central importance to many systems of protectingfundamental rights, its precise contours are surprisingly ill defined This lack of determinate meaning is not limited to the concept of privacy in the United States; virtually all legal systems that utilize privacy (or its first cousin, "dignity") have difficulty reducing the concept into specific, carefully delineated legal interests. In some respects, privacy means everything-and nothing-at the same time. Moreover, even in those contexts where one can identify privacy at a relatively choate, rather than highly abstract, level of jurisprudentialanalysis, the right of privacy often comes into direct conflict with other fundamental rights. For example, commitments to freedom of speech and to a free press often conflict with privacy interests; these conflicts, in turn, force courts to secure one interest only at the price of undermining another.

    OF CONTEMPORARY INDIA Catalogue No. 14 Of The Papers of Chandi Prasad Bhatt Plot # 2, Rajiv Gandhi Education City, P.O. Rai, Sonepat – 131029, Haryana (India) Chandi Prasad Bhatt Gandhian Social Activist Chandi Prasad Bhatt is one of India’s first modern environmentalist. He was born on 23 June 1934. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of peace and non-violence, Chandi Prasad averted deforestation in the Garhwal region by clinging (Chipko) to the trees to prevent them from being felled during the 1970’s. He established the Dasholi Gram Swarajya Mandal (DGSM), a cooperative organization in 1964 at Gopeshwar in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand and dedicated himself through DGSM to improve the lives of villagers. He provided them employment near their homes in forest-based industries and fought against flawed policies through Gandhian non-violent satyagraha. To maintain the ecological balance of the forest, DGSM initiated a number of tree-plantation and protection programmes, especially involving women to re-vegetate the barren hillsides that surrounded them. He created a synthesis between practical field knowledge and the latest scientific innovations for the conservation of environment and ecology in the region. Chandi Prasad Bhatt has been honoured with several awards including Ramon Magsaysay Award for community leadership (1982), Padma Shri (1986), Padma Bhushan (2005), Gandhi Peace Prize (2013), and Sri Sathya Sai Award (2016). Chandi Prasad Bhatt has written several books on forest conservation and large dams: Pratikar Ke Ankur (Hindi), Adhure Gyan Aur Kalpanik Biswas per Himalaya se Cherkhani Ghatak (Hindi), Future of Large Projects in the Himalaya, Eco-system of Central Himalaya, Chipko Experience, Parvat Parvat Basti Basti, etc.
