paper. 1 For general arguments against an excessive philosophical preoccupation with epistemology, see Jacques Derrida, Dissemination (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1981); John Gunnell, Between Philosophy and Politics (Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1986); Mark Krupnick, ed., Displacement (Bloomington: University of Indiana Press, 1983); Paul Kress, "Against Epistemology," Journal of Politics 41, no. 2 (May 1979): 526-42. For specific arguments against foundationalism, see Richard Rorty, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1979); Richard Bernstein, Beyond Objectivism and Relativism (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1983); Don Herzog, Without Foundations: Justification in Political Theory (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1985). It is worth noting the irony that even those most intent on repudiating epistemology on the grounds that traditional epistemological concerns involve claims altogether beyond the possibilities for human knowledge are themselves advancing epistemological claims.

Nongovernmental Organizations, "Grassroots," and the Politics of Virtue
  • Jul 1, 2001

  • Deborah Mindry

n the course of conducting fieldwork in 1993-94 in Durban, South Africa, I attended a training workshop for Zenzele field-workers.' Zenzele was a black women's organization that focused on educating and uplifting black women living in rural and urban KwaZulu and Natal.2 There we were told a story of women's transnational cooperation that struck me as surprisingly reminiscent of colonial relations between European and "native" women. On June 29, 1994, Lyndsay Hacket-Pain, then vice president of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), addressed a gathering of ACWW affiliate organizations the Federation of Women's Institutes (FWI) of Natal and Zululand and the Natal and KwaZulu Zenzele Women's Association (Zenzele). Hacket-Pain, from the head office in London, had been traveling around South Africa visiting various ACWW affiliate organizations and the projects they had undertaken. A

Reexamining Femicide: Breaking the Silence and Crossing “Scientific” Borders
  • Jan 1, 2003
  • Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society
  • Nadera Shalhoub‐Kevorkian

Femicide is cloaked in silence and has rarely been investigated. This article aims to break the silence by reexamining the definition of the crime. The current definition which deals only with the actual killing of the victim is quite narrow indicating that the phenomenon is still misunderstood. I will suggest how this definition can be expanded contextually grounded and improved. The current definition adequately describes the crime of killing a woman but it fails to cover the arduous process leading up to her death. In this context death needs redefining. Death in femicide is currently defined medicolegally as the inability to breathe. In the new definition that I propose death has already occurred by the time a female is put on "death row"--that is when she is effectively sentenced to death by murder and lives under the continual threat of being killed. Even at this point I consider her a victim of femicide and I thus redefine death as the inability to live. Although victims of femicide are technically alive they are in a mode of life that they never wanted and completely reject a mode that is perhaps best described as death-in-life. (excerpt)

Sexual Assault and Harassment: A Campus Community Case Study
  • Dec 1, 1982
  • Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society
  • Bernice Lott + 2 more

EDITORS' NOTE: Howz serious and widespread a problem is sexual harassment in our universities? What means will effectively diminish its incidence without violating the rights of individuals? Each of thefollowing essays answers one of these two questions. In the first, Bernice Lott, Mary Ellen Reilly, and Dale Howard describe the results of a 1979 survey that examined a sample of the entire University of Rhode Island population. Its purpose was to determine how many of the respondents in the sample group had personal knowledge of or had experienced any form of sexual assault, intimidation, or insult; how they had responded to assault; and their beliefs about harassment in general. In the second essay, Judith Berman Brandenburg delineates a response to the problem worked out at Yale University: the establishment of a grievance procedure administered through a specially selected board. The process of this honest search for answers uncovers other questions: Do we have a definition of sexual harassment upon which most people will agree? Is power thefactor that transforms what may be cajolery into harassment? If so, power in what forms? Do these forms make the problem invulnerable to any solution? With these essays we open a dialogue on such questions. We invite your letters in response, in the hope that through the exchange we canfurther advance feminist efforts to analyze-and to overcome-this pernicious form of sexual injustice.

L'A. etudie la situation des femmes et plus particulierement des meres dans les zones de conflit. Elle s'efforce de comprendre la nature du lien entre maternite, nationalisme et conflit. Elle analyse le role du sexe dans les situations de guerre, la vie dans les regions situees sur la zone de front au Liban et la signification et les pratiques en matiere de maternite chez les femmes palestiniennes. Elle retrace les grandes etapes du conflit qui a ensanglante le Liban entre 1968 et 1982 ; evoque la situation des femmes au cours de «la guerre des pierres», l'intifada et souligne que celles-ci sont presentees d'une maniere symbolique, «iconique» au sein des discours politiques palestiniens. Elle s'interroge quant au statut social des meres, quant a la signification de leur appartenance sociale dans le cadre de ces discours

Comment on Hekman's "Truth and Method: Feminist Standpoint Theory Revisited": Whose Standpoint Needs the Regimes of Truth and Reality?
  • Jan 1, 1997
  • Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society
  • Sandra Harding

I AGREE WITH SEVERAL of Susan Hekman's central arguments (in this issue). Feminist standpoint theory has indeed made a major contribution to feminist theory and, as she indicates at the end, to late twentieth-century efforts to develop more useful ways of thinking about the production of knowledge in local and global political economies. We can note that feminists are not the only contemporary social theorists to struggle with projects of extricating ourselves from some of the constraints of those philosophies of modernity that began to emerge in Europe three or more centuries ago. Moreover, Hekman is certainly right that current reevaluations of marxian projects, of the "difference" issues, and of poststructuralism are three sites of both resources and challenges to the further development of standpoint theories, as they must be also for other contemporary social theorizing. These last three sets of issues are intimately related. The modern understanding of how to go about knowledge seeking, retained in the marxian epistemology, assumed that one should imagine a kind of single, ideal knower, "homogeneously" constituted since he purportedly represented no particular cultural identity, interests, or discourses. The proletarian standpoint, once it was generalized as the truly human standpoint, provided just such an ideal unitary knower no less than did social contract theory's "rational man." Issues neither of differences between knowers nor of the cultural constitution of knowledge-the multicultural and poststructuralist issue about discourses-could arise as long as knowledge acquisition was figured as performing the "God-trick," as Donna Haraway famously put the point (1988). Thus, early articulations of feminist standpoint theory retained some of these problematic modernist assumptions about truth and reality. However, it seems to me that Hekman distorts the central project of standpoint theorists when she characterizes it as one of figuring out how to justify the truth of feminist claims to more accurate accounts of reality. Rather, it is relations between power and knowledge that concern these thinkers. They have wanted to identify ways that male supremacy and the production of knowledge have coconstituted each other in the past and

H E P E R SI S T E N CE OF women's subordination throughout history and across many cultures presents a difficult puzzle; although women are clearly assertive actors who struggle for better conditions for themselves and for their families, their efforts often seem to produce limited or ephemeral results. The recent widening of opportunities for some women is unusual, and when placed in historical and cross-cultural perspective, its future seems uncertain.2 In

“Under Western Eyes” Revisited: Feminist Solidarity through Anticapitalist Struggles
  • Jan 1, 2003
  • Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society
  • Chandra Talpade Mohanty

L'A. reprend son essai feministe Under western eyes ecrit seize annees auparavant, dans le contexte d'un mouvement feministe transnational en pleine vitalite. Apres en avoir rappele les arguments centraux, elle analyse la reception qu'a eu cet article, puis tente de clarifier le sens qu'elle donne a des concepts-cles comme l'Occident ou le Tiers-Monde. Elle reengage le debat sur la relation entre le particulier et l'universel dans la theorie feministe. Elle tente enfin d'evaluer ce qui a change durant la periode qui s'est ecoulee depuis la parution de la premiere edition de Under western eyes. Elle inscrit parmi les nouveaux defis du feminisme le combat contre la mondialisation capitaliste et ses effets de predation dont les femmes sont plus particulierement victimes. A la suite de Vandana Shiva, elle s'insurge notamment contre la confiscation imperialiste des savoirs indigenes par le biais des brevets
