  1. Amazon Intertextuality and Sinuosity in Sandra Shotlander's Angels of Power.Rosemary Keefe Curb - 1995 - Hypatia 10 (4):90 - 103.
    Angels of Power, by Australian lesbian playwright Sandra Shotlander, illustrates political strategies described by American lesbian philosopher Jeffner Allen. In the play three female members of Australian parliament align to force regulation of new reproductive technologies. Using essentialist, materialist, liberal, and radical feminist arguments, the characters practice sinuous strategies through loading and layering female signs (intertextuality) in order to eradicate patriarchal signification and reenact a contemporary version of ancient Amazons taking over the Acropolis.

  • Plastic Actions: Linguistic Strategies and Le Corps lesbien.Karin Cope - 1991 - Hypatia 6 (3):74 - 96.
    In both her fiction and her essays on writing and feminist theory, Monique Wittig takes up and redeploys traditional themes and genres as well as recent theories of language, literature, and writing in order to force change in and through the dominant categories of thought and language. She has announced her project as one which would "do away with the category of sex" by way of reconfiguring the grammatically and conceptually enforced compulsory heterosexual order.

  • Jeffner Allen: A Lesbian Portrait.Jacquelyn N. Zita - 1992 - Hypatia 7 (4):6 - 13.
    This review essay covers the lesbian writing of philosopher Jeffner Allen, contrasting her fiercely separatist earlier work with her more recent experimental writing. A quest for a separate ontic space-defining difference qua Lesbian and consistently characterized by Allen as "the open"-links her earlier work with her more recent atonalities richly coded with ritual, myth, memory, and play.

  • Aestheticism, Feminism, and the Dynamics of Reversal.Amy Newman - 1990 - Hypatia 5 (2):20 - 32.
    Postmodern aestheticism is defined as a way of thinking that privileges the art of continual reversal. The dynamics of reversal operate according to a theoretical model that, historically speaking, has been the vehicle for blatantly masculinist ideologies. This creates problems for feminist thinking that would appropriate the postmodern conception of the subjectivity of the artist or the aestheticist dissolution of the distinction between life and art.
