SPECIAL ISSUE OF RHIZOMES: CULTURAL STUDIES IN EMERGING KNOWLEDGE
www.rhizomes.net
"Feminism's Others"

As with Rhizomes 7, Theory's Others, this special issue will provide a 
space for
theorists whose work falls outside the usual academic boundaries, but 
here the
focus will be on feminist thought. In that feminism fundamentally aims to
correct misconceptions about women in order to bring about social and 
cultural
gender equality, feminists must represent--and circulate representations--of
women as a group, which would be impossible without making some general
statements about women. Most feminist activists inside and outside academe
recognize women's diversity and try to be inclusive rather than defining the
group called "women" by exclusion. However, in practice, feminist
generalizations about women often do exclude certain types of behavior, 
desires,
self-images, histories, creative and intellectual pursuits. I am 
particularly
interested in hearing from women whose work concerns what seems denied 
or even
abjected by the dominant/majoritist trends in feminist theory today.
