Motta, S, Flesher Fiminaya, C, Eschle, C & Cox, L. 2011. Feminism, women’s movements and women in movement. A journal for and about social movement, November, vol 3/2, (p: 1-32)

This research was about  engages with the increasingly important, separate yet interrelated themes of feminism, women’s movements and women in movement in the context of global neoliberalism.  The purpose of the research was to seek to explore the relationship between theory and practice as a means of opening up possibilities for the reconnection of feminist academic analysis to women’s everyday struggles, thereby contributing to a more emancipatory feminism and to a post-patriarchal, anti-neoliberal politics. We do so both by re-considering feminist theories in the academy in the light of the strategic demands of political action and by exploring the theoretical implications of women’s movements and women in movement. The subject of the research was two articles that each uses the experience of feminists at the World Social Forum to discuss the relationship between feminism and social movements. Janet Conway’s “Activist knowledge on the anti-globalization terrain: transnational feminists at the World Social Forum” discusses how feminist networks, particularly the World March of Women and Articulación Feminista Marcosur, have developed their different political strategies within the WSF and developed feminist critiques of the Forum’s politics and culture. Lyndi Hewitt’s article “Framing across differences, building solidarities: lessons from women’s rights activism in transnational spaces” discusses how feminists bridged their own internal differences at WSF and Feminist Dialogues events using frames that both acknowledged diversity and enabled effective alliance-building. Between them these two articles offer a very rich picture of the relationship between feminism and social movements.

Dr. Duman, Fatih. 2012. The roots of modern feminism: Marry Wollstonecraft and the French revolution. International journal of humanities and social science, May, vol 2/9, (p: 75-89)
This research was about Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), attributing a particular importance to “woman” -in the narrow sense- and to all  oppressed groups  -in  the  broad  sense-, has  a  peculiar  position  in the  history  of  political  thoughts. Taking  a position  different  from  the  modern  male  thinkers  in  her  era,  she  expanded  such  ideas  as  “reason”, “natural rights”, “social contract” towards relations between genders and patriarchal authority of the family. The present study that has focused on Wollstonecraft’s perception about “woman” and her thoughts about the French Revolution will investigate the topic in three basic phases. The first phase will try to present her methodological point of view and her basic thoughts by moving from her book “A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790)”. The second  phase  will  investigate  the  concepts  and  analysis  that  cover  basic  arguments  of  the  modern  feminist thought by focusing on her book “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792)”. The third and the final phase will discuss the results of Wollstonecraft’s basic concepts on political theory, especially in relation with the French Revolution where these concepts have been expressed. This research was using qualitative method.  Mary Wollstonecraft is the first modern thinker who has made us think of Nature-Society relations -a general problem- through women.

 Dr. Deshpande,Y,P. 2011. Literary theory myth as the archetype ( a critical review). India streams research journal, June, vol 1/5.
The research was about Contrary to the popular notion of learning literature as an aesthetic, an individual experience leading to its understanding Northrop Frye, a Canadian critic, says that the exercise, in effect, is an act of criticism. Frye, then goes on to explain his theory of Archetypal Criticism, the propose of this research was to point out some the implications of this theory. This research was using qualitative method. The subject of the research was Northrop Frye’s argument. It concludes that while the model widens the scope of literary criticism the singularity of meaning implied in it indicates its limitation. Northrop Frye’s model of archetypal criticism has given a new dimension to a critic’s role. It involves a close study of a text in the context of pre historical myth. While this is an innovative approach to criticism which encourages a scientific analysis of a text, its insistence on a specific meaning in the context of particular myth anticipates an extensive knowledge of Anthropology on the part of the critic.
