Abstract

Ignorée, invisible, la question du genre reste cachée sous le développement. Et pourtant, comprendre le développement n’est pas possible sans une perspective de genre. Cet ouvrage, didactique, montre en quoi et comment le concept de genre permet de revisiter les études de développement. Le genre permet de comprendre la construction historique, sociale et culturelle des différences et des inégalités. Il offre des outils pour une analyse critique du système capitaliste globalisé. Le genre, inscrit dans le féminisme, permet aux catégories dominées et marginalisées, en particulier les femmes mais pas seulement, de faire entendre leurs voix. Dans le contexte actuel de crise globale et d’accroissement des inégalités, il propose des pistes pour renouveler la pensée sur le développement, mais aussi pour agir autrement. Combinant diverses disciplines et thématiques, cet ouvrage montre que la portée heuristique du genre ne se limite pas aux domaines habituellement considérés comme féminins (l’éducation, la famille, le social, la santé de la reproduction, etc.) mais s’étend à tous les domaines (le politique, le droit, la sécurité, la diplomatie, l'économie, etc.). Ce livre met aussi en évidence la diversité et l’enrichissement mutuel des diverses traditions de recherche entre le monde francophone, anglophone et hispanophone. Il s’adresse particulièrement aux étudiant-es, chercheur-es et enseignant-es, militant-es, chargé-es de programme dans des organisations de coopération et représentant-es des pouvoirs publics au Nord et au Sud.

Abstract

The intellectual movements of psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and feminism have redefined the ways in which we think about human experience. And yet, an integration of these movements has been elusive, if not impossible. In this landmark book, J.C. Smith and Carla J. Ferstman combine these disparate traditions to create a provocative, unified, and tightly woven perspective that transcends the misogyny implicit in much of Freudian psychoanalytic theory. The dialectics of domination and submission are central to Smith and Ferstman's argument. Men and women, they insist, must avoid the temptation to fetishize equality and recognize the roles of domination and submission in the human psyche, or, in Nietzsche's terms, the Will to Power. They argue that the unification of psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and feminism leads us to a shocking conclusion--that women and men cannot move beyond the suffering which so haunts the human condition, unless heterosexual men surrender the power that is causing their misery and affirm life by joyfully accepting domination by women. And women, conversely, must reaffirm their power by rejecting Oedipal genderization and embracing a liberating matriarchal consciousness and a matriphallic sexuality. A work of tremendous insight and extraordinary intellectual energy, The Castration of Oedipus will provoke strong reactions in all readers regardless of ideology.

Abstract

Woman has been defined in classic political theory as elusive yet dangerous, by her nature fundamentally destructive to public life. In the view of Linda M. G. Zerilli, however, gender relations shape the very grammar of citizenship. In deeply textured interpretations of Rousseau, Burke, and Mill, Zerilli recasts our understanding of woman as the agent of social chaos and makes a major advance for feminist political theory.

Abstract

L’homme et la femme demeurent plus étrangers l’un à l’autre que ne le ont à chacun l’animal, la plante, la pierre, l’univers, les dieux. Cet irréductible de l’un à l’autre s’oublie sans cesse et s’organise en mondes bâtis dans la méconnaissance. Le langage, les échanges en général fonctionnent comme si ces deux moitiés du monde se connaissaient, se parlaient, se partageaient. À peine se font-elles signe de chaque côté d’un miroir qui n’appartient ni à l’une ni à l’autre, d’un abîme infernal ou céleste, d’une proximité que plus rien ne signifie. À moins qu’elles ne se détournent délibérément l’une de l’autre, ou ne tentent de se détruire dans le vertige de quelque renversement dialectique.Ni la femme ni l’homme n’ont construit un territoire qui leur permette d’habiter et cohabiter leur corps, leur chair, de s’étreindre, s’aimer, créer ensemble. Mais la constitution d’une éthique sexuée est toujours reportée à plus tard. Elle emprunte d’étranges détours. S’arrête à l’écologie animale, considère le sexe des végétaux, analyse le comportement de nos cellules, s’efforce de connaître toutes espèces ou genres de mêmes et d’autres selon la taille, la forme, la couleur, la quantité, le nombre... Tout, sauf ce si proche de nous que nous ne le percevons pas et que, le touchant, nous n’abordons souvent qu’à notre nuit. Tant nous fait défaut ce qui dit nos puissances sensibles, leur architecture, leurs abords, leurs seuils, leurs passages du plus intime au plus lointain, en nous, entre nous.La différence sexuelle comme enjeu théorique et pratique est encore abandonnée aux sciences et techniques “ secondes ” : médecines, arts, modes. Restaurations, reproductions, voiles, masques d’un original qui reste dans l’ombre, et qui vaut d’être interrogé avant d’être imputé à Dieu, ou quelque Autre qui nous fait loi.Qui suis-je ? Qui es-tu ? En quoi consiste l’insurmontable de notre différence ? Quelles sont nos conditions de possibilité de vie, de beauté, de raison commune ? Ces questions s’imposent à notre époque. Mais elles suscitent les polémiques et les refus de qui se veut, se croit, ou s’ignore monopole d’une “ philosophie première ” – Vérité.

Abstract

Sandra Harding here develops further the themes first addressed in her widely influential book, The Science Question in Feminism, and conducts a compelling analysis of feminist theories on the philosophical problem of how we know what we know. Following a strong narrative line, Harding sets out her arguments in highly readable prose. In Part 1, she discusses issues that will interest anyone concerned with the social bases of scientific knowledge. In Part 2, she modifies some of her views and then pursues the many issues raised by the feminist position which holds that women's social experience provides a unique vantage point for discovering masculine bias and questioning conventional claims about nature and social life. In Part 3, Harding looks at the insights that people of color, male feminists, lesbians, and others can bring to these controversies, and concludes by outlining a feminist approach to science in which these insights are central. "Women and men cannot understand or explain the world we live in or the real choices we have," she writes, "as long as the sciences describe and explain the world primarily from the perspectives of the lives of the dominant groups." Harding's is a richly informed, radical voice that boldly confronts issues of crucial importance to the future of many academic disciplines. Her book will amply reward readers looking to achieve a more fruitful understanding of the relations between feminism, science, and social life.

Abstract

Winner of British Sociological Association Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 1993 Within feminism incest has often been subsumed under a discussion of sexual violence and abuse. Yet, important as this is, there has been little account of how feminist work itself relates to other ways of talking about and understanding incest.In Interrogating Incest Vikki Bell focuses on the issue of incest and its place in sociological theory, feminist theory and criminal law. By examining incest from a critical Foucauldian framework she considers how feminist discourse on incest itself fits into exist
