Abstract
AbstractThe 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 simply (obsessively) reinscribe these splits and divisions. Rather, the essays in this issue bring into fine relief both the resonance of the subject and the excitement of seeing how questions of sexuality, of desire, of violence, of identity are being thought in altered and innovative ways. Not only are a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary locations represented here, but the eclectic archive of sources and methodologies makes for an exceedingly robust commitment to feminist interdisciplinarity.
