  • Foucault wrote on genealogy in an essay entitled "Nietzsche, Genealogy, History". It appears in several collections. One is Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology" Volume 2 of Essential Works of Michel Foucault. Archaeology is focused on describing...
  • in a way, OOB was perhaps doing genealogy Huh. Yeah, you're right, definitely. In the first of the Love articles above, for example, she decribes how OOB, and the lesbian identity and sex radical feminism it represented, retrieved the...
  • To weigh in somewhat late here, the thread shows your theoretical inquiry crystallizing nicely, I'd say. The idea of testimonial does work as a way to understand On Our Backs, perhaps more (as Josh suggests) in the context of genealogy than of...
  • The passage from "A Gentle Angry People" that suggests a direction for a geneological approach is this one; its broader theme, relevant to much of OOB's content, is the possibility that lesbians might be just like straight people, however exciting...
  • Thanks -- I will check out the Foucault/feminism book. I am also thinking that the histories of radical feminism must already be written, but my search terms just aren't turning them up. It seems ludicrous that they wouldn't already be...
  • I tried searching around the library and web but did not find any obvious matches. I did come across this e-book in the AU library: "Up against Foucault: explorations of some tensions between Foucault and feminism"/ edited by...
  • Hm. Yeah, I can see how the potential, or lack of potential, for political action or recognition would make a very important qualification to my critique of bare life. Taking the panhandler image as an example (the iconic image of Holocaust...
  • I think you are getting Agamben right here. Your critique of bare life makes a lot of sense. I say go with it. One important thing about Agamben's conception of bare life is that he did not simply locate it only in camps. It potentially exists in...
  • I have a lot of trouble with "bare life" because I'm not sure I'm convinced that what is represented to me as absolute abjection -- the image of Holocaust survivors' skeletal bodies for Agamben, or seeign the iconic panhandler in an urban...
  • Blast! Now I know. Thanks.
  • I suppose it's no help now, but for the timeouts: pushing the "back" button in your browser will return you to your comment.  The rest: I need a second to think. 
  • This is my second attempt at responding. I wrote a longer and much better response yesterday and with great satisfaction hit the post button only to learn my ‘session has timed out’. Uuuggh. Agamben’s conception of testimony is...

    "How that got diverted from actually addressing violence to screaming at other feminists about nipple clamps and pursuing a culture of violence against trans women and prostitutes is beyond me" Certainly - it sounds very much like a proverbial...
  • Where I think these concepts might help to understand OOB is to begin to provide a framework for examining a lot of content and a very layered manifestation of "the archive" (the tangible kind). A lot of the archive theory I have looked at...
  • These books are both extremely difficult reads. When it comes to Foucault's Archeaology, it is helpful to contextualize where he was coming from. On one hand he was responding to French structuralism, particularly the way it deployed structural...
  • The good thing about this post is that next to these readings, anything at all that considers the archive a tangible collection of artifacts or records, any literary theory that deals with testimony as a genre or document, will be a breeze, no...

    "The sexualization of girls" (Gail Dines' version, which I think is close to Ariel Levy's, but more shrill) did come up in this discussion about OOB. I don't think anyone would object to you saying Bratz dolls are awful -- though we might have...

    Looks like you got some good, useful keywords, as well as solid (and face-to-face!) support from a strong local research network - that's priceless. If, as you say, there's virtually no scholarship on OOB in general, then that means there's a piece...
