SPECIAL ISSUE OF RHIZOMES: CULTURAL STUDIES IN EMERGING KNOWLEDGE
www.rhizomes.net "Feminism's Others"
As with Rhizomes 7, Theory's Others, this special issue will provide a space
for theorists whose work falls outside the usual academic boundaries, but
here the focus will be on feminist thought. In that feminism fundamentally
aims to correct misconceptions about women in order to bring about social
and cultural gender equality, feminists must represent -- and circulate
representations -- of women as a group, which would be impossible without
making some general statements about women. Most feminist activists inside
and outside academe recognize women's diversity and try to be inclusive
rather than defining the group called "women" by exclusion. However, in
practice, feminist generalizations about women often do exclude certain
types of behavior, desires, self-images, histories, creative and
intellectual pursuits. I am particularly interested in hearing from women
whose work concerns what seems denied or even abjected by the
dominant/majoritist trends in feminist theory today.
