• W1576762939 abstract "The title of this conference (held at the University of Melbourne on 10-12 December 1993), read as a pleasant change from some of the more self-consciously erudite ones around. I asked whether I should arrive bearing sandwiches, only to learn the title was satirically intended to connote the womanly tradition of collective catering, time honoured in Australian CWA and bar-b-q cultures. It was perhaps also a signal to participants that lunch would not be provided, though there was abundant food for thought to be consumed during the sessions. The atmosphere overall was relaxed and engaged. With papers organised into single sessions everyone could attend everything, and most seemed to take advantage of this. Question times were adequate although inevitably limited. A concluding plenary session would have been welcome for discussion of the many intersections apparent among the issues and ideas raised in the papers. As a cultural conference, it seemed to sublimate the usual friendly rivalry between cultural critical practice and political critique of the kind more associated with women's studies of a sociological or historical bent. The veil of interdisciplinarity does not quite disguise this ambivalence in academic activism in the Humanities. Perhaps this occurs because has for some time meant different things to different feminists.(1) Throughout the conference, struggles to think through different varieties of identity politics (of gender, race, sex and, to a small extent, class) as well as contend with the plethora of theoretical currents proliferating within were evident. Feminist, however, to your average journalist seems to mean There was quite widely expressed conference concern in relation to the mischievous and generally incompetent role of journalists in the commercial media in (mis)representing notions of feminism and what it is to be feminist. A couple of papers took up precisely this problem of meanings ascribed to feminism, given that feminist has quite specific meanings within academic and other activist feminisms. Notions of what is have changed quite a lot in recent years, as many formerly radical ideas have been absorbed, albeit selectively, into the dominant culture. For cultural theorists this provides continuing grist for the mill of debates about relations between dominant and marginal groups, while for more activist-oriented feminists it incites concern about political directions for the women's movement. Elspeth Probyn's keynote address, Perverts by Choice: The Ethics of Choosing, initiated a number of emergent themes including--amongst many other things--media representation, ethics, identity politics, and lesbian chic, a term that is quickly becoming shorthand, including in the heterosexual press, for an acceptable (hence marketable) version of (sexual) radicalism. Probyn considered the politics of a personal activism encapsulated in the motto of a Nike advertisement, just do it. Framed within a reading of the advertisement was a discourse on the commercialisation of and its political resonances. Choice, Probyn suggested, replaces questions of agency, so that ethics are reduced to personal issues of morality. Informed by Gilles Deleuze, Probyn theorised choice as the action of women inventing themselves in relation to others through a politics involving a process of individuation (rather than individualisation). Was Probyn's idea of a situational politics a response to the way women (feminists? lesbians?) are confounded by the multiplicity and proliferation of theoretical and subject positions within and, as a result, are drawing more on the politics of personal taste in the continuing struggle for self-identity and liberation? While her paper prompted some questioning, overall I sensed that Probyn was a little underwhelmed by the conference's rather tentative response in question time. …" @default.
