Introduction

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 1 –9

[It is intuitively obvious that there are connections between social, religious, and cultural norms, values, and stereotypes that establish, maintain, and justify a sex-based hierarchy. Echoing the words of Kate Millett, from the Indian woman forced to die on her husband’s funeral pyre to the...

Production

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 11 –34

[There is a paradox at the heart of feminism. Feminism is fundamentally an Enlightenment or modernist project; it concerns the emancipation of morally valuable individual subjects. Yet recent feminist theory rails against the principal tenets of Enlightenment thought: reason, autonomy, identity,...
Available

Objectivity

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 35 –61

[From epistemology to ontology, from the philosophy of (social) science to aesthetics, from ethics to linguistics, feminist philosophers have taken issue with the notion of objectivity.1 To aspire to objectivity in these fields often means harboring prior beliefs that scientific and epistemic...
Available

Reason

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 63 –85

[Those in the sway of the “ideology of objectivism” persevere with the belief that scientific and epistemic claims can only be produced by rational, dispassionate, disinterested, and value-free methods of inquiry conducted by reasonable subjects.1 Troubled by the relationship between reason and...

Essentialism

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 87 –107

[Conservative or patriarchal justifications of traditional roles often invoke ideas of human nature, “In claiming that women’s current social roles and positions are the effects of their essence, nature, biology or universal social position, these theories are guilty of rendering such roles and...
Available

Identity

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 109 –129

[The sense of who or what “I am,” which we may call the principle of (personal) identity, has a troubled relationship with the logic of identity and epistemology. The term “personal identity” fluctuates between hard and soft meanings: essentialist connotations and social constructivist...
Available

Non-Identity

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 131 –153

[The “symbolic,” initially a Lacanian devise to bring together mathematical (formal) and anthropological uses of the term, has become, within feminist theory, a way to discuss culturally intelligible rule-governed speech and to explain how paternal law structures signification and thereby becomes...
Available

Sex and Gender

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 155 –177

[In The Fall and The Happy Death, Albert Camus describes, with kaleidoscopic perspicuity, the fragmentary quality of modern experience and poetically articulates the experience of modernity as a fallen condition. Aamir Mufti draws our attention to the ways in which the perception of modernity as...
Available

Patriarchy

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 179 –200

[In the last two chapters I have shown how phenomenological ontology can be brought together with dialectical materialism to move us beyond the dichotomy “sex/gender.” The phenomenological account of the body-as-situation offers tools for theorizing body-consciousness within intricate and...

Conclusion

Howie, Gillian

Pages: 201 –205

[We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and Woolf brings to our attention the differential distribution of time: “we have borne and bred and washed and taught, perhaps to the age of six or seven years, the one thousand six hundred and twenty-three million human beings who are according to...
