A partir del cruce entre archivo, ficción y espacio doméstico, indagamos algunas aristas de la relación entre Victoria Ocampo y Silvina Ocampo, su obra y su entorno cotidiano. Desde perspectivas ...feministas, las casas y las relaciones familiares, con los lazos de obediencia, amor y conflicto que conllevan, brindan un campo privilegiado para explorar la construcción del sistema de identidades individuales, sexuales y generacionales que dejarían rastro en la escritura de las Ocampo y en sus modos de intervenir en la cultura, interrumpiendo y desviando costumbres y cánones, tradiciones, voces y escrituras.

...I place ssaww's 2012 leadership transition in the context of the hidden entitlements that can lead to male spokesmanship in a political moment in which women's voices, choices, and advocacy are ...being increasingly challenged, silenced, and shut down.
The article deals with the discursive analysis of Disney's Little Mermaid, Pocahontas and Aladdin, which it discusses through the combined lens of feminist literary theory and postcolonial studies. ...It argues that Disney's adaptations of canonized literary fairy tales do not rest only on the perpetuation and further exacerbation of hierarchically structured gendered binarisms that abound in the original literary texts. It argues that these adaptations also rest on the introduction of a highly racialized discourse not found in the primary literary texts, which leads to a specific transmutation of literary fairy tales under consideration. The article takes as its basic theoretical premise A Theory of Adaptation by Linda Hutcheon and argues that rather than viewing adaptations as failed or incomplete attempts at translating literary fairy tales into an animated medium, these adaptations should be looked upon as transcodifications and transmutations of the original texts that acquire a life of their own. As such they come to act as substitutes for the original texts, which in turn, due to the consistent marketing policies pursued by Disney, come to be side-tracked or completely replaced by their Disneyfied versions. The article argues that Disney's adaptations of literary originals partake in the rehabilitation of old colonial tropes such as Black legend, which they take to new heights through the inclusion of the liberal discourse of multiculturalism and the usurpation of a seemingly pro-feminist discourse. The article incorporates Balibar's and Brown's theories on the resurgence of neo-racist discourse. In doing so, it traces different instances of neo-racist discourse found in Disney's animated films and focuses on the way recent restructurations of racist discourse are embedded in Disney's latest productions under the common denominator of multicultural pluralism. The article argues that the way in which the discourse of race is re-activated and once again justified on the home turf of Western democracies is directly related to a system of management and control of those constituted as external racialised others inhabiting geopolitical locations of significance to neo-colonial hegemons. Pocahontas and Aladdin constitute such a link. Disney's animated adaptations consistently construct native women as victims in need of rescue from their patriarchal cultures, while at the same time they strategically elide and obscure patriarchal histories and asymmetrical power relations affecting women in western societies. This is even more ironic considering that Disney's classic animations targeted at children and adults alike (such as Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, etc.) have played a direct role in upholding and re-naturalizing the patriarchal premises of Western societies.
...I come to the allegory of my own authorship. The rich mesh of essays that make up this issue of Legacy, with its cluster of reflections about different practices and difficulties of raced and ...gendered coalition, offers a timely opportunity to think about what these decades have entailed for black and white, feminist, and equal rights coalitions in the academy and beyond.
With funding from the University System of Georgia, we had developed a course and a website of images depicting nineteenth-century women at work in diverse settings.3 We had arranged to visit the ...Bancroft in search of images of working Latina and Asian women. Since we took the time to describe our pedagogical project, Dave Kessler and other Ubrarians had suggested possibihties in their coüections that might enrich our website; toward the end of our last day, one archivist led us to albums in the NeUie Arnott Darling Papers.4 We were entranced, although what we saw in the photographs, marginal notes, and postcards was in many ways more puzzling than illuminating. ...we acknowledge the need to broaden and deepen our networks of collaboration, particularly since racial and other identity-oriented differences are at the heart of the social relations we seek in archival sources. ...in both our specific practices for doing future archival research and the self-reflective stance we will keep refining, we appreciate how researching the many complex relationships in which Nellie Arnott herself participated continues to shape our own collaboration in analyzing her archive.
Because Plum Bun engages in important ways with both urban aesthetics and the concerns of urban sociology, I will demonstrate that the novel can be read as raising crucial and timely questions about ...the emancipatory potential of urban space for upwardly mobile black women. By emphasizing the centrality of city space in Plum Bun, I add a new dimension to literary criticism on Fauset while reinforcing Kathleen Pfeiffer's claim that the novel's narrative is "neither anachronistic nor marginal" but rather modern, complex, and worthy of serious scholarly attention (80).2 Susan Tomlinson has convincingly argued that Plum Bun "explores the intersections of race and gender constructions of black and white American women" (90).
Stanton in particular has been fully and frequently established as a looming figure of racism in US feminisms past.2 In a recent collection of essays on her work, historian Ann D. Gordon points out ...that the "luster" of the infamous cofounder of the nineteenth-century womens rights movement has been "dimming" in recent years because of the "close scrutiny" now given to the racialized rhetoric in her speeches and writing ("Stanton" 111). Published from 1868 to 1870 in New York under the editorial leadership of Stanton and Anthony, the newspaper is the source of some of the most frequently cited and denounced writings within suffrage historiography, yet scholars have generated very little work on the journal as a text.41 draw from this neglected body of suffragist work to call attention to the specific ways that racism functioned within white suffragist rhetoric to mediate the subject positions of white, middle-class women during Reconstruction.
In the 2005 article, I also noted that in subjects in the field of feminist literary studies were absent from Slovene programs. The situation changed significantly with the Bologna reforms, which ...spurred student interest, in particular among female students. On the first level, subjects with such topics are accredited only in the context of the Slovene language and literature programs at the Filzofska fakulteta at the University of Maribor-to be exact, in the required course on "Women Writers, Literary Genres and Styles in Slovene Literature of the First Half of the Twentieth Century," and "Nineteenth-Century Women Writers." On the intermediate level, the course "Contemporary Slovene Women Writers" is accredited within the second-year Slovene language and literature program for teacher preparation. At the advanced level there is "Literature by Twentieth-Century Slovene Women Writers."6 In the Slovene program at the University of Primorsko's Faculty of Humanities, three elective courses with the same title, "Women in Literature," have been approved on the beginning and intermediate levels. In the University of Ljubljana's Slovene program in the Faculty of Arts, there is a required course in the same discipline at the intermediate level. The title, "Gender and Slovene Literature," indicates the feminist literary studies content. In the Faculty of Humanities' Slovene program (literary studies track), a module on "Gender Studies in Slovene Literature" has been approved. It includes courses on "The Sociology of Gender," "Postcolonial theory and gender studies," "Feminist Literary Studies," "Images of Women in the World of Myth and Their Reception in Slovene Literature," "Representations of Gender in Slovene Literature," "Gender Stereotypes in Children's Literature," and "Slovene Women Writers in European Literatures."
