Women Who Kill Their Abusive Partners: from Sameness to Gender Construction

Since the early 1990s there has been a plethora of academic commentary on the criminal law’s treatment of women who kill their abusive partners. More recently, the debate has been re-opened due to the Law Commission’s proposals on Partial Defences to Murder. This article aims to critically analyse the approach adopted by the academic commentary and to place in within a feminist theory framework. In addition the article argues that the work of queer theorist Judith Butler enables the analysis of the law’s treatment to be developed further.Law Lecturer, Liverpool John Moores University.

Poner la cuerpa: The Body as a Site of Reproductive Rights Activism in Peru

The issue of the body is central to feminist theory and activism. This article draws on social movement and performance theory to analyse the role of the body as a site of activism in performances and as a site that is subject to patriarchal and racial oppression. Through embodied activism, feminists reclaim their bodies as a contested site of oppression to reframe the terms of the debate on abortion and demonstrate the possibility for embodied and creative politics to create new, more inclusive forms of activist practices.     

从"他乡"到"她乡":吉尔曼女性主义写作策略的转变

夏洛特.帕金斯.吉尔曼是美国女性主义文学的鼻祖。对吉尔曼的小说进行整体考察,可以发现:她的创作经历了从解构“他乡”(男权社会)到建构“她乡”(女性乌托邦)的转变,或者说,从以揭露和解构为主的现实主义,走向了以规划和建构为目标的乌托邦主义写作。这使她成为树立女性乌托邦典范的枢纽人物,其对于现代女性乌托邦文学的影响可谓深远。同时,这一转变也充分显示了吉尔曼女性主义思想的前瞻性,她预见性地实践了后现代女性主义所倡导的女性主义文学之目标,即:击破、摧毁、预见与规划。     

揭示天国中的父权制--西方女权主义神学思想述评

女权主义神学是基督教内女权运动的实际经验及学术成果在理论上的反映。它通过对基督教传统及其经典《圣经》中父权制思想的批判,来提升女性在天国中的地位,并试图建立体现女性解放要求的神学体系。女权主义神学旨在通过适应时代和广大女性的需要,将宗教信仰、神学论证与社会政治实践相结合,使其自身具有更大的吸引力和感召力。     

女性主义史学中的几个理论问题

近几十年来,女性主义史学家挑战了传统史学,不仅使妇女进入了史册,而且使“性别”(Gender)成为一个重要的历史分析范畴。但是,女性主义史学在几个基本理论问题上存在很多争议:在解释妇女在历史上缺席的原因时,如何区分性别偏见与时代局限;在把妇女作为研究对象时,应该如何认识妇女之间的差异;妇女史学在颠覆使命完成之后,如何处理妇女史与通史关系等。思考这些问题是我们研究妇女史的理论前提。     

Apostolic Minds and the Spinning House: Jane Ellen Harrison and Virginia Woolf's Discourse of Alterity

Jane Ellen Harrison (1850–1928) and Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) are two of the most iconic figures in British feminist history whose enduring influence have helped create and sustain a multitude of feminist discourses. Interestingly, both produced their landmark feminist studies in Cambridge when it was, arguably, the most aggressively anti-feminist institution in Britain at that time. Evidence of the kind of institutionalized disciplinary control Cambridge historically exercised on women can be found in the three Committals books (1823–1894) of the Spinning House (1631–1894) in the University archives. So called because the inmates were given wool to spin, the Spinning House was a penitentiary for young girls who were judged to be compromising the morals of the undergraduates. The Spinning House had its basis in the legal authority of the University which declared ‘That the University by virtue of their Charter sanctioned by Act of Parliament, have an undoubted right to cause the Public Street to be inspected, and loose and disorderly women to be taken up and sent to the Spinning House or the house of correction’. Against the background of the culture encapsulated by the Spinning House, women academics, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, were making tremendous efforts to bring about intellectual equality. And though the two—the spinner and the woman student—occupied mutually exclusive spaces, they were nevertheless held on the margins of the power structure that produced both. This paper examines the socio-historical context and the puritan intellectual politics of Cambridge against which feminist theories of Harrison and Woolf were produced to identify some of the methods with which they negotiated masculine orthodoxy and structured their feminist discourse of alterity.     

Women and (in)security: The case of the Philippines

Abstract

This paper takes as its starting point the need to address a gender void and northern‐centrism in the new/critical security agenda. Basing the paper on the security priorities of women in the Philippines, presented in the form of a ‘Security Pillar’, the paper examines how far new/critical security, and feminist security literature incorporates the concerns of women in Southeast Asia in the reconceptualization of security, and considers the ways in which security can be reformulated to address the security needs of women in Southeast Asia.
