- W2468574403 abstract "Perhaps the central issue in academic literary feminism right now is theory itself. Early academic literary feminism?if one may use this word for an enterprise beginning in the early 1970s?developed along two clear paths: first, a pragmatic, empirical attempt to look at women?in society or in texts?as images in literature, as authors, as readers; second, a visionary attempt to describe women's writing in a reconstructed future, an attempt in which description often merged with exhortation. Theory developed later, mainly in response to what Elaine Showalter has described as an andro? centric critical community increasingly theoretical in its interests and indifferent to women's writing.1 In other words, feminist theory addresses an audience of prestigious male academics and attempts to win its respect. It succeeds, so far as 1 can see, only when it ignores or dismisses the earlier paths of feminist literary study as naive and grounds its own theories in those currently in vogue with the men who make theory: deconstruction, for example, or Marxism. These grounding theories manifest more than indifference to women's writing; issuing from a patriarchal discourse, they exude misogyny. Mainly, feminist theorists excoriate their deviating sisters. Feminism has always been bifurcated by contention between pluralists and legalists. Pluralists anticipate the unexpected, encourage diversity; legalists locate the correct position and marshal women within the ranks. Theory is, by nature, legalistic; infractions?the wrong theory, theoretical errors, or insouciant disregard for theoretical implications?are crimes; theory is a form of policing. Pluralists dance; theorists storm or march.2 Theorists constrain what may be allowably discovered; their totalizing, in the name of feminism, reproduces to the letter the appropriation of women's experience by men, substituting only the appropriation and naming of all women's experience by a subset of women: themselves.3 This repetition of authoritarian structure betrays an infatuation with male forms and de? constructs the feminist project. It is easier to totalize when one restricts application of theories to texts already sanctioned by the academy. These restrictions, however, elide such" @default.
