Women's Political Presence in the Arab Mediterranean Region
GOVERNANCE AND CITIZENSHIP IN THE EUROMEDITERRANEAN SPACE Women’s Political Presence in the Arab Mediterranean Region Governance, Contentious Politics, and Agency Valentine Moghadam Illustrator: Carole Hénaff The first two decades of the 21st century has seen its share of dramatic events: the “war on terror” launched in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 assaults on U.S. cities; the 2003 US/UK-led invasion and occupation of Iraq; the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession; the 2011 Arab uprisings, Occupy Wall Street, and European anti-austerity protests; the NATO assault on Libya and external intervention in Syria; the 2015 migration crisis; the global expansion of right-wing populist movements and governments; a new cycle of protests in France, Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Lebanon, and the U.S. in 2018-2020; and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Clearly, the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership has been unable to shape those events and their outcomes. Equally clear is that women have been involved in and affected by those events in multiple ways, whether as agents or victims. In this paper, I examine the Arab Mediterranean region to elucidate women’s presence in varied movements and mobilizations, and their participation in national and local governance. Indeed, women’s intensive involvement in both institutional and non- institutional politics – in governance, civil society, and contentious politics – has been a PÀGINA 1 / 10 hallmark of 21st century leadership and activism. Women’s presence, however, varies across countries. Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia have long had vocal and visible women’s rights organizations with the capacity to influence legislation, and the adoption of gender quotas and proportional representation electoral systems has enabled a relatively large female presence in local and national governance. -

Katy Shannahan Edited
1 Katy Shannahan OUHJ 2013 Submission The Impact of Failed Lesbian Feminist Ideology and Rhetoric Lesbian feminism was a radical feminist separatist movement that developed during the early 1970s with the advent of the second wave of feminism. The politics of this movement called for feminist women to extract themselves from the oppressive system of male supremacy by means of severing all personal and economic relationships with men. Unlike other feminist separatist movements, the politics of lesbian feminism are unique in that their arguments for separatism are linked fundamentally to lesbian identification. Lesbian feminist theory intended to represent the most radical form of the idea that the personal is political by conceptualizing lesbianism as a political choice open to all women.1 At the heart of this solution was a fundamental critique of the institution of heterosexuality as a mechanism for maintaining masculine power. In choosing lesbianism, lesbian feminists asserted that a woman was able to both extricate herself entirely from the system of male supremacy and to fundamentally challenge the patriarchal organization of society.2 In this way they privileged lesbianism as the ultimate expression of feminist political identity because it served as a means of avoiding any personal collaboration with men, who were analyzed as solely male oppressors within the lesbian feminist framework. Political lesbianism as an organized movement within the larger history of mainstream feminism was somewhat short lived, although within its limited lifetime it did produce a large body of impassioned rhetoric to achieve a significant theoretical 1 Radicalesbians, “The Woman-Identified Woman,” (1971). 2 Charlotte Bunch, “Lesbians In Revolt,” The Furies (1972): 8. -

Patricia Highsmith's Queer Disruption: Subverting Gay Tragedy in the 1950S
Patricia Highsmith’s Queer Disruption: Subverting Gay Tragedy in the 1950s By Charlotte Findlay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Literature Victoria University of Wellington 2019 ii iii Contents Acknowledgements ………………………………………………………………..……………..iv Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………v Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 1: Rejoicing in Evil: Queer Ambiguity and Amorality in The Talented Mr Ripley …………..…14 2: “Don’t Do That in Public”: Finding Space for Lesbians in The Price of Salt…………………44 Conclusion ...…………………………………………………………………………………….80 Works Cited …………..…………………………………………………………………………83 iv Acknowledgements Thanks to my supervisor, Jane Stafford, for providing always excellent advice, for helping me clarify my ideas by pointing out which bits of my drafts were in fact good, and for making the whole process surprisingly painless. Thanks to Mum and Tony, for keeping me functional for the last few months (I am sure all the salad improved my writing immensely.) And last but not least, thanks to the ladies of 804 for the support, gossip, pad thai, and niche literary humour I doubt anybody else would appreciate. I hope your year has been as good as mine. v Abstract Published in a time when tragedy was pervasive in gay literature, Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt, published later as Carol, was the first lesbian novel with a happy ending. It was unusual for depicting lesbians as sympathetic, ordinary women, whose sexuality did not consign them to a life of misery. The novel criticises how 1950s American society worked to suppress lesbianism and women’s agency. It also refuses to let that suppression succeed by giving its lesbian couple a future together. -
Gender & Sexuality in the Middle East
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY - WINTER 2016 GENDER & SEXUALITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST SOCIOL 376 – GNDR ST 382 – MENA 390-3 Tues & Thurs: 3.30-4.50 @ Locy 111 Dr. Ayça Alemdaroglu [email protected] Office hours: Wednesday 11-12 pm Scott Hall 20 TA: Aydın Özipek [email protected] Office hours: By appointment Course Description This course explores the construction and experience of gender and sexuality in the Middle East. Drawing on the historical, sociological and anthropological research in the region, the course aims to question the stereotypes about the subordination of ‘Muslim’ women and to offer a systematic reading and an analytical discussion of the political, economic and cultural structures that inform femininity and masculinity in the region. The course will start with the examination of women in Islamic sources, then will move on to nationalist and modernization movements in the 19th and 20th centuries. Gender relations, women’s and men’s lives in contemporary Egypt, Turkey and Iran will be a central theme of the course. In this framework, we will also pay special attention to Islamist mobilization, family, sexuality, neoliberalism, women’s labor and the experiences of LGBT. Finally, we will discuss the role of women in recent uprisings and social change. Course objectives At the end of this course, the students will be able to: Develop an interdisciplinary and comparative understanding of gender and sexuality in the Middle East Know the main historical periods and social factors that play an important role in the construction of gender and sexuality in Egypt, Iran and Turkey Evaluate the merits of common representations of the Middle East and its people in North America and Europe. -

Symposium: Populisms in the World-System 294
JOURNAL OF WORLD-SYSTEMS RESEARCH ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. 24 Issue 2 | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2018.853 | jwsr.pitt.edu SYMPOSIUM: POPULISMS IN THE W ORLD-SYSTEM Gendering the New Right-Wing Populisms: A Research Note Valentine M. Moghadam Northeastern University [email protected] Abstract Populism has become the subject of a large and growing literature but little is written about non-Western movements, and feminist scholars have yet to grapple with its gender dynamics, including its appeal to many women voters, and its gendered social consequences. In this research note, I briefly survey the literature and show how right-wing populist nationalism – a reaction to the ills of neoliberal capitalist globalization – is also found in Islamist movements. I call for an inclusive, progressive agenda that can appeal to and mobilize those who have been left behind.

Journal of World-System Research | Vol. 24 Issue 2 | Symposium: Populisms in the World-System 294 Is the specter of populism haunting the contemporary world? The sheer number of publications on the subject since at least 2016 suggests its topicality and urgency.1 Most studies focus on the rise of right-wing radical populist parties and movements, although left-wing populist movements and parties also have erupted. -
