  1. Emotions and embodiment as feminist practice in the free abortion movement in France.Lucile Ruault - 2021 - European Journal of Women's Studies 28 (3):320-336.
    This article explores the critical role of emotions and bodies in the individual dynamics of engagement as well as the construction of collective identities and action in women’s groups in the 1970s in France. Much literature on emotion work in feminist organizations has tended to discuss emotions stemming from women’s dominant socialization processes as, above all, alienating, thereby as barriers to their activism. The Movement for the liberty of abortion and birth control offers essential insights into how gendered dispositions can (...)

  • Feminist collective memory and nostalgia in gynaecological self-help in contemporary Europe.Lucile Quéré - 2021 - European Journal of Women's Studies 28 (3):337-352.
    Gynaecological self-help, a well-known and historical feminist practice from the Second Wave movements which aims at embodying a radical alternative to traditional reproductive politics, is resurging today in France, Switzerland and Belgium. Drawing on empirical observations and interviews, this article questions the links between feminist memory of self-help, the shaping of nostalgia and the production of a political feminist ‘we’. Born at the end of the 1960s in the United States, feminist self-help travelled internationally and was appropriated differently depending on (...)

  • The Joy in Believing.Michael Pettit - 2006 - Isis 97 (4):659-677.
    ABSTRACT This essay presents a historical epistemology of the nineteenth‐century controversy concerning a scientific hoax, the Cardiff giant. My focus is on the shifting meanings given to the giant, which were based on epistemologies derived from scientific authority, religious belief, and market relations. In 1869 a farmer in Cardiff, New York, claimed to have discovered the fossilized remains of a prehistoric, perhaps biblical, giant on his property. While some scientists stressed the need to cooperate with commercial showmen, enthusiasm for the (...)

  • „Wir Hexen“. Wissenskriege, Erfahrung und Spiritualität in der Frauenbewegung während der 1970er Jahre.Anne Kwaschik - 2023 - NTM Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin 31 (2):171-199.
    ZusammenfassungIn den 1970er Jahren eigneten sich feministische Aktivistinnen die Figur der Hexe in verschiedenen Kontexten und Konstruktionen an: als Symbol für Alterität, politischen Radikalismus oder politische Revolte, Repräsentation des verfolgten Opfers oder der alternativen Heilerin, die über subversives Körperwissen verfügt. Der Artikel untersucht diese Hexenkonstruktionen mit dem Fokus auf ihren Erfahrungsgrundlagen, wobei er sich auf Aneignungen in Westeuropa und insbesondere Westdeutschland in seinen transatlantischen Verflechtungen konzentriert. In einem ersten Abschnitt wird zunächst ein kurzer Überblick über exemplarische Hexendiskurse in den 1970er (...)

  • Cheeky Witnessing.Ruth Fletcher - 2020 - Feminist Review 124 (1):124-141.
    Feminists witness legal worlds as they observe, document and share nothing less than the reproduction of life itself. The world of the abortion trail, where people and things move across borders to change life’s reproduction, has generated a rich variety of legal sources, figures and objects for feminist witnessing. In watching how feminist activists improvise with sources, figures and objects of legal consciousness on the abortion trail, this article seeks to contribute to critical understanding of a plurality of witnessing practice, (...)
