Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 3, , language: English, abstract: The present essay is an attempt to explore Showalter’s feminist critical philosophy and the corresponding practice of such an innovative approach in literary feminism. It tries to reflect upon her critical theorization and practice, and recognize the credibility and aftereffect of both among contemporary authors, critics and readers. It investigates whether Showalter’s critical approach is a feminist social critique, i.e. an analysis of women writing in a patriarchal culture, or a development of a feminist aesthetics, i.e. an explanation of how writing by women discloses a distinctively female discourse. It looks into what makes her feminist criticism best and most importantly characterized, and her literary framework for the analysis of women’s literature.

Bessie Head (1937-1986) was born in South Africa, but wrote her novels when living as a refugee in Botswana. In her 'trilogy': When Rain Clouds Gather (1969), Maru (1971) and A Question of Power (1973), she explores the stranger's desire for inclusion. Current feminist and postcolonial theory makes metaphorical use of the lack of belonging in searching for new expressions of subjectivity. This study looks to Head's novels for their contribution to that debate, but places them firmly within the historical context of Southern Africa in the late twentieth century. Both the politics of location and the desire for universality are seen as informing Head's texts. The analysis shows that Head's most distinctive contribution lies in her use of 'place' as a means of encompassing change as well as the nourishing soil necessary for the creation of a stable identity.

"This volume of literary and cultural theory continues certain debates that dominated feminism in the early 1980s. Those were formative years for academic feminism in the U.S. because a critical mass of feminist scholars was promoted or granted tenure; black, Chicana, and other "Third World" feminists solidified a separate power base; multicultural feminist organizations such as the National Women's Studies Association came of age; and French feminist works were published in English translation for the first time. The traditional concerns of feminism - how to analyze women's oppression and act politically to end it - were moved to a new level of complexity as an understanding of women's differences became practically and theoretically more urgent and feminists were empowered in startling and unprecedented ways." "The writers anthologized here do not all speak in the same voice, but they do all address the issues of difference so eloquently articulated by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1981: How do we think about difference, and how do we build an effective feminist movement around it?" "That year, Reagon spoke at the West Coast Women's Music Festival, and a few years later she reworked her presentation for inclusion in Barbara Smith's Home Girls. Subtitled "Turning the Century," Reagon's talk was about the difference between feeling at home in feminism, between having "a space that is 'yours only' - just for the people you want to be there," and crossing what she called "first people boundaries" to make a revolution - that is, "really doing coalition work," the crucial work for feminists as we look forward to the twenty-first century." "Now, in 1992, some people would say that the gaps - racial, cultural, political, and discursive - between Bernice Johnson Reagon and most academic feminists in the 1990s are absolutely unbridgeable. Which may well be true. But those very gaps also signify not the irrelevance to academic feminists of Reagon and the variety of streetwise black feminism she represents (or vice versa), but compelling reasons to attend closely to her analysis. In "Turning the Century," Reagon asked feminists (including academic feminists) to examine three major issues: the tensions between separatism and coalition-building (both of which, she held, are politically necessary); the dangers of "mono-issue" critical perspectives and agendas for activism; and the destructiveness to feminist communities of forgetting "the principles that are the basis of [our] practice." Today, more than a decade later, these issues are still important and far from being resolved. This volume works toward achieving that goal."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

"The present study employs a gynocritical strategy to examine the six novels by contemporary Indian women novelists, namely, Shashi Deshpande's The ""Dark Holds No Terrors"" (1980), Shobha De's ""Socialite Evenings"" (1989), Githa Hariharan's ""The Thousand Faces of Night"" (1992), Mrinal Pande's ""Daughter's Daughter"" (1993), Manju Kapur's ""Difficult Daughters"" (1998) and Arundhati Roy's ""The God of Small Things"" (1997). The aim is to focus on women's experiences as women in the contemporary Indian society which is in a transitional phase-holding on to the traditional views yet inclining towards the forces of modernity like globalisation, materialism, consumerism and feminism. Efforts are made to record the emerging female voices using the tenets of the new women-centred psychologists, which suit the Indian cultural context."
