Transatlantic Gender Crossings

Anne-Emmanuelle Berger

0/5 ( ratings)

A special issue of differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies

As much as French feminism influenced the establishment of women’s studies in U.S. universities, so has U.S. gender and queer theory marked the French intellectual and academic landscape. For this reason, gender and sexuality studies have been bound up from the beginning with specific intractable questions of internationalization. Has internationalization contributed to an “Americanization” of the field, or has it allowed for different ways of understanding the connections between the local and the global, the center and the periphery? And how might institutionalization and internationalization affect our thinking about the political and theoretical intersections between gender and sexuality or between sex and race? Contributors from Europe and the United States consider theoretical, political, and institutional questions raised by the transatlantic exchange of feminist theories over four decades.

Contributors
Anne Emmanuelle Berger, Éric Fassin, Delphine Gardey, Clare Hemmings, Ranjana Khanna, Griselda Pollock, Tuija Pulkkinen, Elizabeth Weed
