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.
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.
