Gay and Lesbian Studies
Over the last decade feminist writings on epistemology and science have argued that it makes a difference who says what when and to whom. Theories primarily built on the interests and values of white, heterosexual, economically and academically privileged men tend to distort and erase the experiences of those who are marginalized by knowledge-seeking projects. The social constructionism vs. essentialism debate is recast by Epstein as a familiar p…
Feministisk forskning om sexualitet - i dag och i framtiden
Jacquelyn N Zita diskuterar här några utvecklingslinjer för framtidens feministiska forskning om sexualitet. Bakgrund utgör debatten mellan nyliberaler och nymoralister samt tre urskiljbara huvudlinjer i den feministiska teoribildningen om sexualitet: det förklarande perspektivet respektive det topografiska och det normativa perspektivet
The Reproduction of Whiteness
Historically critical reflection on whiteness in the United States has been a long-standing practice in slave folklore and in Mexican resistance to colonial-ism, Asian American struggles against exploitation and containment, and Native American stories of contact with European colonizers. Drawing from this legacy and from the disturbing silence on “whiteness ” in postsecondary institutions, critical whiteness scholarship has emerged in the past t…

Making Bodies, Making History
Jeffner Allen
This review essay covers the lesbian writing of philosopher Jeffner Allen, contrasting’ her fiercely separatist earlier work with her more recent experimental writing. A quest for a separate ontic space—defining difference qua Lesbian and consistently characterized by Allen as “the open”—links her earlier work with her more recent atonalities richly coded with ritual, myth, memory, and play
Male Lesbians and the Postmodernist Body
This essay explores the criteria for lesbian identity attribution through the case study of “male lesbians”: biological males who claim to be lesbians. I analyze such sexlgender identity attribution through the lens of postmodernism, which provides a workable theoretical framework for “male lesbian” identities. My conclusions explore the historicity and cultural constructedness of the body's sexlgender identities, revealing the limitations of bot…
Lesbian Angels & Other Matters
In this commentary on Joyce Trebilcot's “Dyke Methods or Principles for the Discovery/Creation of the Withstanding,” I discuss four areas of difficulty in Trebikot's proposed methods: (1) an overly negative view of “the intention to persuade,” (2) a tendency towards epistemological relativism and loss of cultural authorities, (3) a circularity in defining the proposed methods as dyke methods, and (4) a hint of repressive tolerance towards differe…
Flight to Objectivity
A Review Essay
This essay is a critical review of Sandra Harding's The Science Question in Feminism . Her text constitutes a monumental effort to capture an overview of recent feminist critique of science and to develop a feminist dialectical and materialist conception of the history of masculinist science. In this analysis of Harding's work, the organizing categories as well as the main assumptions of the text are reconstructed for closer examination within th…
The Premenstrual Syndrome “Dis-easing” the Female Cycle
This paper reflects on masculinist biases affecting scientific research on the Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Masculinist bias is examined on the level of observation language and in the choice of explanatory frameworks. Such bias is found to be further reinforced by the social construction of “the clinical body” as an object of medical interrogation. Some of the political implications of the medicalization of women's premenstrual changes are also …
Feminism och vetenskapsteori - en kritisk granskning
Vilka frågor bör den feministiska vetenskapsteorin fokusera för att inte den politiska dimensionen ska gå förlorad? I Jacquelyn Zitas kritiska granskning av Sandra Hardings bok The Science Question in Feminism, ställs bl a frågan om hur långt vi är tvungna att acceptera relativism och instabilitet i analytiska kategorier i stället för teoretisk precisering
Dual Systems Theory
Historical Amnesia and the Lesbian Continuum
