From: MDorenkamp-AT-aol.com Date: Tue, 9 Apr 1996 10:19:51 -0400 Subject: french feminism/histories as someone requested, i am posting the suggestions i received in response to my request for both traditional and intellectual histories of french feminism. paranthetical comments are from the people who suggested the title(s). again, thanks to everyone who responded. /md ______________________ (movements/figures history): Garcia, Sandrine, "Project for a Symbolic Revolution: The Rise and Fall of the Women's Movement in France" in _The South Atlantic Quarterly_ Vol. 93 No. 4, Fall 1994: 825-70. _Feminism in France: From May '68 to Mitterand_, by Claire Duchen (Routledge and Kegan Paul,1986). ("Duchen both discusses major figures and events and provides a good introduction to the intellectual/theoretical issues that shaped the "movement(s)." I highly recommend it, and think it would be a terrific book to teach to undergrads--and will use it that way myself if it stays in print.") (political/intellectual history): Rosi Braidotti, _Patterns of Dissonance_ (political/intellectual/theoretical discussions): Liz Grosz, _Sexual Subversions: Three French Feminisms_ (on Kristeva, Irigaray, and LeDoeuff, "Not a history of French feminist politics but an account of the Western philosophical context of 'French feminism' as consumed in an Anglophone context."); _Volatile Bodies_; _Space Time and Perversion_ (these are "more about the implications of French philosophy on the feminism of the body rather than a history of the theories or theorists themselves") (on specific thinkers): Kelly Oliver on Kristeva Liz Grosz, _Jacques Lacan_ (on feminisms crossing cultures): "Transfeminisms" by Francoise Meltzer, in _Transfigurations: Theology and the French Feminists_, ed. by C. W. Kim et. al.
