This document outlines a project to create a textual dialogue between Harriet Jacobs' memoir "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" and Luce Irigaray's essay "Women on the Market" to develop a critical, historically-aware understanding of the economy of the body that considers intersectionality. It discusses key aspects of Irigaray's theory and how Jacobs' narrative both aligns with and challenges aspects of this theory by narrating bodies acting as agents of resistance despite not being recognized as such under slavery. The dialogue between the two texts aims to extract a more complete theory about the body as commodity that acknowledges the role of intersectionality and slavery.

This document summarizes an ethnographic study of arrow-making among the Awá hunter-gatherers of Brazil. The authors observed that arrow-making is more than just a functional or symbolic activity, but is deeply intertwined with Awá men's sense of self. They argue that a relational-ontological approach is needed to understand the relationship between people and objects in non-modern societies. This perspective sees humans and things as mutually constitutive, with agency distributed among both. The case of the Awá offers opportunities to investigate technologies of the self in other societies from this perspective.
Making inferences
The document discusses making inferences by using clues from text, pictures, or prior knowledge to draw conclusions. It provides examples of making inferences from images and passages and emphasizes that good readers make inferences by using word clues, picture clues, defining unknown words, identifying emotions, and asking questions. Readers are encouraged to practice making inferences to improve this critical reading skill.

This document summarizes a study exploring feminist identity through the use of magic realism in the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The study analyzes how magic realism serves as an ideal mode for representing women's conditions and diverse feminist identities. It examines how Marquez's female characters both conform to and subvert patriarchal norms through their representations. The study is delimited to four novels by Marquez and focuses on deconstructing the gender identity constructions within them based on theorists like Butler, de Beauvoir, Friedan, and Millet.

Women on the Market
The society we know, our own culture, is based
exchange of women. Without the exchange of women, we are
told, we would fall back into the anarchy (?) of the natura]
world, the randomness (?) of the animal kingdom. The passage
into the social order, into the symbolic order, into order as
such, is assured by the fact that men, or groups of men, circu
late women among themselves, according to a rule known as
taboo.
Whatever tammal may take in a given
state of society, its signification has a broader impact. It
assures the foundation of the economic, social,
order that has been ours for centuries.
Why exchange women? Because they are "scarce [commod
ities] . . . essential to the life of the group," the anthropologist
tells us. 1 Why this characteristic of scarcity, given the biological
equilibrium between male and female births? Because the "deep
polygamous tendency, which exists among all men, always
makes the number of available women seem insufficient. Let us
even were as many women as men, these
women would not be equally desirable ... and that, by
definition. . ., the most desirable women must form a
minority. "2

Women on the Market
Are men all equally desirable? Do women have no tendency
toward polygamy? The good anthropologist does not raise such
questions. A fortiori: why are men not objects of exchange
among women? It is because women's bodies-through their
use, consumption, and circulation-provide for
making social life and culture possible, although they remain an
unknown "infrastructure" of the elaboration of that social life
and culture. The exploitation of the matter that has been sexu
female is so integral a part of our sociocultural horizon
is no way to interpret it except within this horizon.
In still other words: all the systems of exchange that organize
patriarchal societies and all the modalities of productive work
that are recognized, valued, and rewarded in these societies are
men's business. The production of women, signs, and com
modities is always referred back to men (when a man buys a
girl, he "pays" the father or the brother, not the mother ... ),
and they always pass from one man to another, from one group

11.[47 51]gender as a trouble in angela carter's the nights at the circus
This document discusses gender performativity in Angela Carter's novel "Nights at the Circus" through the lens of Judith Butler's work. It focuses on the main character Fevvers, who has wings, as an example of how gender is not fixed but constructed. The document provides context on Butler's view that gender is not determined at birth but formed through ongoing acts and social cues. It argues Carter uses unusual female characters like Fevvers to challenge standard gender norms and roles. The discussion centers on how Fevvers' wings and appearance both conform to and subvert expectations of femininity.

Gender & Identity on Postcolonial Studies - Wiwin Malinda.pdf
The document discusses gender and identity in postcolonial studies. It examines how postcolonial and gender theories emerged from political struggles and intellectual traditions. These theories seek to challenge hierarchical binaries like center/margin and male/female. Judith Butler's work on gender performativity is discussed, arguing that gender is an ongoing process of boundary marking rather than a fixed identity. The document also analyzes how postcolonial gender theorists have critiqued concepts like epistemic violence and the positioning of Western knowledge as the norm. Their work aims to deconstruct margins and understand relationships between Self and Other.
Gender Performativity in Buchi Emecheta’s Kehinde
ABSTRACT: Gender is no longer considered as the product of genetics or biological truth. It is, on the other hand, perceived as a performative- a doing rather than a being- constituted and maintained as a recognizable subject in a heterosexual matrix. Nigerian women writers focus on the performative dimension of gender identity in their literary texts. They offer a comprehensive resistance to essentialization of gender identity and argue for a resignified identity of Nigerian women. This study reads Buchi Emecheta’s Kehinde through the lens of gender performativity to expose gender as a fluid concept that can be taken out of prior contexts and be reiterated in ways contrary to original patriarchal intentions. In doing so, Emecheta destabilizes heteronormative gender performatives and opens the possibility of Nigerian women to evolve into strong, independent and empowered individuals. In essence, the female protagonist of Kehinde establishes a resignified identity of a Nigerian woman that questions essential gender identities, critiques heteronormative hegemony and people that propagate it, and is proud of being a black woman

Valkanas_Final Paper
This document provides a summary of ideas around gender, empowerment, and liberation from three paragraphs of text. It discusses how socially constructed views of gender inhibit women's roles in society. It also discusses the idea of female empowerment being about liberation from secondary roles and gaining equal rights. The document explores concepts like being "post-gender" and picking traits from masculine and feminine to create a new identity. It examines how views of gender are absorbed from a young age and how concepts of identity can clash between partners.
Feminist Criticism
1. Feminist literary criticism examines representations of women in texts and challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
2. Early feminist critics analyzed how women authors faced barriers and how female characters were portrayed in limited, stereotypical ways.
3. More recent criticism looks at the intersection of gender with other identities like race and sexuality, and how cultural factors shape concepts of masculinity and femininity.

Judith Butler and Performativity for Beginners (mostly in her own words)
Summary replicated from ucsc.edu
1. A central concept of the theory is that your gender is constructed through your own repetitive performance of gender. This is related to the idea that discourse creates subject positions for your self to occupy—linguistic structures construct the self. The structure or discourse of gender for Butler, however, is bodily and nonverbal. Butler’s theory does not accept stable and coherent gender identity. Gender is “a stylized repetition of acts . . . which are internally discontinuous . . .[so that] the appearance of substance is precisely that, a constructed identity, a performative accomplishment which the mundane social audience, including the actors themselves, come to believe and to perform in the mode of belief” (Gender Trouble). To say that gender is performative is to argue that gender is “real only to the extent that it is performed” (Gender Trouble).
2. There is no self preceding or outside a gendered self. Butler writes, “ . . . if gender is constructed, it is not necessarily constructed by an ‘I’ or a ‘we’ who stands before that construction in any spatial or temporal sense of ‘before.’ Indeed, it is unclear that there can be an ‘I’ or a “we” who had not been submitted, subjected to gender, where gendering is, among o ...
WeGender Trouble
Butler argues that feminist theory has traditionally assumed a unified identity of "women" but that this category is problematic and constructed. The subject of feminism, often taken to be "women," is shaped by the patriarchal society it aims to oppose. Further, gender cannot be easily separated from sex or from the political and cultural contexts that produce them. Butler examines the relationship between sex, gender, and desire, arguing that gender is culturally constructed rather than biologically fixed. There is no stable concept of identity when it comes to sex, gender, and sexuality.

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in 428 BC in Athens. He came from an aristocratic
family but did not pursue a career in politics, instead focusing on philosophy under the influence of his
teacher Socrates. Plato founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the
Western world. He authored many dialogues recounting discussions between Socrates and others on
topics such as politics, love, and justice. Plato is considered one of the most influential philosophers in
history.
Power point summary
This document summarizes and discusses 5 examples of gender research projects from different parts of the world. It provides an overview of each case study, highlighting some of the main findings and conclusions. The cases examine topics such as: how gender roles are socially constructed and situationally defined; the development of different masculinities in mining communities; the fluidity of gender and sexuality; the impact of the Soviet war in Afghanistan on gender equality; and the effects of microcredit programs on women's empowerment. The document aims to demonstrate the diversity of gender research and some recurrent themes, such as how gender is performative rather than fixed, and shaped by historical and social contexts.

This document summarizes research on conceptualizing power and gender in Kenyan drama. It discusses how various scholars like Foucault, Butler, and Young have theorized about power and its relationship to gender. The paper then examines how power intersects with gender identities in Kenyan society by analyzing two Kenyan plays: Aminata by Francis Imbuga and The Hunter is Back by Dennis Kyallo. Using theories of gender, cultural materialism and identity, the paper argues that drama portrays the constant struggle of the "gendered self" to reconfigure their position and define their own identity within the socio-cultural context in Kenya.

Valkanas_Final Paper
This document provides a summary of ideas around gender, empowerment, and liberation from three paragraphs of text. It discusses how socially constructed views of gender inhibit women's roles in society. It also discusses the idea of female empowerment being about liberation from secondary roles and gaining equal rights. The document explores concepts like being "post-gender" and picking traits from masculine and feminine to create a new identity. It examines how views of gender are absorbed from a young age and how concepts of identity can clash between partners.
Feminist Criticism
1. Feminist literary criticism examines representations of women in texts and challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
2. Early feminist critics analyzed how women authors faced barriers and how female characters were portrayed in limited, stereotypical ways.
3. More recent criticism looks at the intersection of gender with other identities like race and sexuality, and how cultural factors shape concepts of masculinity and femininity.

Judith Butler and Performativity for Beginners (mostly in her own words)
Summary replicated from ucsc.edu
1. A central concept of the theory is that your gender is constructed through your own repetitive performance of gender. This is related to the idea that discourse creates subject positions for your self to occupy—linguistic structures construct the self. The structure or discourse of gender for Butler, however, is bodily and nonverbal. Butler’s theory does not accept stable and coherent gender identity. Gender is “a stylized repetition of acts . . . which are internally discontinuous . . .[so that] the appearance of substance is precisely that, a constructed identity, a performative accomplishment which the mundane social audience, including the actors themselves, come to believe and to perform in the mode of belief” (Gender Trouble). To say that gender is performative is to argue that gender is “real only to the extent that it is performed” (Gender Trouble).
2. There is no self preceding or outside a gendered self. Butler writes, “ . . . if gender is constructed, it is not necessarily constructed by an ‘I’ or a ‘we’ who stands before that construction in any spatial or temporal sense of ‘before.’ Indeed, it is unclear that there can be an ‘I’ or a “we” who had not been submitted, subjected to gender, where gendering is, among o ...
WeGender Trouble
Butler argues that feminist theory has traditionally assumed a unified identity of "women" but that this category is problematic and constructed. The subject of feminism, often taken to be "women," is shaped by the patriarchal society it aims to oppose. Further, gender cannot be easily separated from sex or from the political and cultural contexts that produce them. Butler examines the relationship between sex, gender, and desire, arguing that gender is culturally constructed rather than biologically fixed. There is no stable concept of identity when it comes to sex, gender, and sexuality.

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in 428 BC in Athens. He came from an aristocratic
family but did not pursue a career in politics, instead focusing on philosophy under the influence of his
teacher Socrates. Plato founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the
Western world. He authored many dialogues recounting discussions between Socrates and others on
topics such as politics, love, and justice. Plato is considered one of the most influential philosophers in
history.

This document summarizes research on conceptualizing power and gender in Kenyan drama. It discusses how various scholars like Foucault, Butler, and Young have theorized about power and its relationship to gender. The paper then examines how power intersects with gender identities in Kenyan society by analyzing two Kenyan plays: Aminata by Francis Imbuga and The Hunter is Back by Dennis Kyallo. Using theories of gender, cultural materialism and identity, the paper argues that drama portrays the constant struggle of the "gendered self" to reconfigure their position and define their own identity within the socio-cultural context in Kenya.

- 1. A Body of Evidence Harriet Jacobs, Luce Irigaray and the Economy of the Body
- 2. THE PROJECT To create a textual dialogue between Harriet Jacobs Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and Luce Irigaray’s “Women on the Market” that is critical, historically aware, and framed by an understanding of intersection and its role within the economy of the body.
- 3. Irigaray’s Theory: “All systems of exchange that organize patriarchal societies and all the modalities of productive work that are recognized, valued, and rewarded in these societies are men’s business. The production of women, signs, and commodities are always referred back to men (when a man buys a girl, he ‘pays’ the father or the brother, not the mother…) and they always pass from one man to another… …The work force is thus always assumed to be masculine, and ‘products’ are objects to be used, objects of transaction, among men alone.” (Irigaray 800)
- 4. A Conversation Between Texts Irigaray disallows a concept of the body as an agent, thereby also disallowing any possibility of resistance. “In order to serve as [commodities], [women] give up their bodies to men…they yield to him their natural and social value as a locus of imprints, marks, and a mirage of his activity” (803) Jacobs narrates bodies that are not only acting as agents despite not being recognized as such within institutions of slavery, but she is using her body to resist her commoditization Her body serves as a testimony for her abuses and becomes evidence that solidifies the credibility of her narrative voice. She manipulates her exchange through the use of her sexuality.
- 5. A Conversation Between Texts Irigaray places women into three categories, Mother, Virgin, Prostitute, and claims that women are subconsciously attempting to increase their exchange value and move within these categories through beautification, social status, etc. “As mother woman remains on the side of (re)productive nature…the virginal woman, on the other hand is pure exchange value…The prostitute remains to be considered, explicitly condemned by the social order she remains implicitly tolerated” (807-808). “The important thing is that they be preoccupied with their respective values, that their remarks confirm the exchangers’ plan for them”(804) Jacobs is consciously trying to decrease her value because a high exchange value marks her as a victim for sexual violence noting that if a slave is pretty, “I have indicated plainly enough what will be [her] inevitable destiny” (58). slave women are unable to occupy any of the categories A slave woman’s value is evaluated not by material beauty, education, and social status, because a slave has no access to material wealth, no legal access to education, and certainly no way to increases her social position through the process of her exchange.
- 6. The Big Picture Irigaray’s theory about the economy of women is not incorrect but it is incomplete. By reading Jacobs and Irigaray as an intertextual dialogue rather than a one sided critique one can see where these texts theoretically converge as they develop ideas about the body. It is in this way that the critic can extract from this conversation a theory about the body as commodity that is historically accurate and aware of the role of intersection. The way that these two texts converse does not only make critiques of Irigaray’s theory and enlighten Jacobs’ struggle with in slavery by placing it within a theoretical discourse. It also functions as a possible tool and critique of feminist critics that take Irigaray to task on her disregard of intersectionality by giving us a historical, critical and literary location for doing so.
