The Lesbian Menace
This introduction to “Lesbian Studies, Now” reflects on the affective, intellectual, and political stakes of invoking “lesbian” as a generative scholarly category in the present as well as the three meanings of “now” that have shaped the coeditors’ curation of the issue. Framed by intergenerational dialogue among the editors, the introduction describes the genesis of this special issue, the scholarly collaboration that took place over years, the …
Ask a Feminist
What does it mean to be a public feminist and a feminist public intellectual in the twenty-first century? Signs editor Suzanna Walters is joined by Andi Zeisler and Marcie Bianco to discuss these questions in the contexts of consumer capitalism, social media, and the decline of “the public.” Andi is the cofounder of Bitch Media and the author of the book We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrl to CoverGirl, and Marcie is the author of Breaking Fre…
On Loving Feminism
To honor half a century of publication, our fiftieth anniversary issue aims to generate new questions and critical discussion around “Big Feminism,” around the role and power of feminist theory, today and into the future. These fifty years have witnessed consequential feminist debates and the emergence of new analytical and theoretical frames. Yet the ground beneath our feet is collapsing. We are witnessing attacks on all we hold dear, including …
Ask a Feminist
The latest installment of Ask a Feminist features nonprofit leader and activist Eesha Pandit and feminist scholar Paula Moya—in conversation with one another and with Signs editor Suzanna Walters and board chair Carla Kaplan—on feminist activism and scholarship, on accountability, coalition, and collaboration
Introduction
What constitutes the public face of feminism? How are we defining “public,” and what is the relationship of a mainstream or normative or hegemonic public to what we might call “counterpublics”? How does feminism circulate in spaces outside of the academy, and is there a reciprocal relationship between feminism “out there in the world” and feminism in this space that we call the academy? What versions of feminist theory and analysis find themselve…
Ask a Feminist
For this edition of “Ask a Feminist,” Cynthia Enloe—feminist, activist, writer, scholar, and research professor at Clark University—speaks with special issue editors Suzanna Danuta Walters, Ratna Kapur, and Agnieszka Graff about the relations between gender and militarism and imperialism, in particular about the role of gender in the rise of the imperialist, fascist (or neofascist), populist (or neopopulist) social movements that seem to be spann…
Introduction
In this special issue of Signs, the contributors address the complex and powerful relationship between gender and the rise of the global Right. This discussion demonstrates how, in transnational terms, the Right has become a significant player in gender politics. It resists the denaturalizing, deconstructive analysis of gender and sex in critical, feminist, and queer scholarship and directs its efforts toward reinstating dominant essentialized ge…
In Defense of Identity Politics
Critics, on the Right, Left, and the supposedly apolitical center have been quick to blame identity politics for the election of Donald Trump. But this is a straw woman, a phantom, and a dangerous deflection. The problem isn’t in the actions and desires of the marginalized and demonized but rather in the continued ascension of the familiar suspects of male and white supremacists endlessly reasserting both their interests and their universality
Ask a Feminist
For this edition of Ask a Feminist, we turn to Susan J. Carroll—eminent political scientist and longtime advocate of women’s political participation—to address issues around gender and electoral politics. Her expertise and experience are needed now more than ever
Introduction
The eleven essays in this special issue reconsider and explore the “sex wars” that emerged in 1982 with The Scholar and the Feminist IX: Towards a Politics of Sexuality, widely known as the Barnard Conference on Sexuality, and have engaged and divided feminist scholars and activists ever since. One of the most gratifying elements of editing this special issue was to see the ways in which feminist scholars are pushing in directions that don’t simp…
The kids are all right but the lesbians aren't
This article examines the troubling erasure of queer difference (and particularly feminist and lesbian difference) in the seemingly benign and inclusive depiction of gay parents and gay kids. Focusing on the hit film about a family headed by two moms – The Kids Are All Right – I wonder what representations of gay kinship push at the boundaries of familial normativity and which ones simply paint the traditional picket fence in rainbow hues? Why ar…
Not Ready to Make Nice
The story of motherhood in popular culture has never been a simple one. Cross-cut by race, class, and sexuality (and, importantly, marital status), interwoven with changing psychological and biological theories and fantasies, tied up with nation-building and citizenship claims, images of motherhood remain both template and signpost upon which we project our desires for kinship and care and our most vexed understandings of womanhood and femininity…
From Here to Queer
Queer Theory
Queer Theory is one of the most contested and intellectually complex movements in contemporary sexual politics. Where did it come from, and what does it do? Is queer theory only for queers? If you have ever wanted to be a leather daddy, been puzzled by performativity, tried to measure bisexuality, or wondered whether Diana, Princess of Wales could be a gay icon, Queer Theory is required reading. This vibrant anthology of groundbreaking work by in…
Difference Troubles
Introduction: the contemporary reconfiguring of social theory and cultural politics Part I. Resisting Difference: The Malaise of the Human Sciences: 1. The political unconscious of the human sciences 2. The end of sociological theory 3. Relativizing sociology: the challenge of cultural studies 4. The refusal of sexual difference: queering sociology 5. Difference troubles: the flight of sociology from 'otherness' Part II. Between Identity and Diff…

As Her Hand Crept Slowly up Her Thigh
Lesbian pulp novels are not typically the stuff of literary criticism, even in this time of post-structuralist anything goes. And the methodologies and theoretical approaches common to literary criticism be it reception theory or ideology critique or even deconstruction seem somehow inadequate or inappropriate to so marginalized and low-brow a cultural product. Typically, even cultural analysis that looks at this sort of culture does so with a la…
