Genre, sexe et sexualités dans les travaux américains et canadiens sur les années 68

Cet article sur l’état de la recherche sur le genre et la (les) sexualité(s) dans les études sur les années 68 fait suite à une année de colloques et de rétrospectives médiatiques célébrant le quarantième anniversaire, ainsi qu’à une élection présidentielle américaine où les deux candidats, avec chacun leur mode d’autorité charismatique genrée – l’un héros militaire du Vietnam, l’autre jeune homme dynamique proposant « un nouveau Camelot » –, se sont implicitement situés par rapport à la rupt..

Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice

The rainy season is not quite over although it has nearly spent itself. I drive leisurely along five miles of roller coaster highway, down and up, up and down again as I drink in the grandeur of the sunset. I come to the 'big hill', around and over which the road twines narrowly. From its summit I see at my left a deep purple canyon, green at the bottom with irrigated fields. At my right the sun is setting across a wide valley, the shadows replaced by roseate gold interrupted by the white resplendence of chalk cliffs. As if this were not sufficient, a light female rain like that which falls constantly over the home of the Corn gods, drops between me and the sun. I gasp in my inability to comprehend the sight fully as I turn my head forty-five degrees to behold a complete rainbow and behind it the thinnest slice of a new moon.

Memory and state violence in Chile: A historical ethnography of Tarapaca, 1890-1995.

Memory and State Violence presents trends and transformations in the social, economic and political history of the Northern Chilean desert province of Tarapaca to frame a detailed study of specific moments of violence and struggles to recuperate a social memory of that violence. Specifically, I introduce a history of memory as praxis. Over the course of the twentieth century, Tarapaca has been a site of state violence and opposition to that violence part of which has taken the form of struggles over the constitution and representation of that history. There are three arenas for which Tarapaca is famous in Chilean history: (1) for the military glories of national conquest (the War of the Pacific) and the enforcement of national cohesion (the Civil War of 1891); (2) as the 'cradle of Chilean politics' in the context of labor struggles in the nitrate extraction era (1890-1930); and (3) as a specially marked site of state violence in the repression of the labor movement, in Cold War detention camps (1948, '56, '73, '84), and for the first excavation of a mass grave in the process of regime transition (1990). I have found that these competing memories can enable and inhibit action on the part of popular sectors as well as the exercise of power by the state. I offer a history of the ways in which memories of political violence inform the conjunctures of state policies of governance with the practices of social movements.Ph.D.Cultural anthropologyLatin American historySocial SciencesWomen's studiesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

México 68: hacia una definición del espacio del movimiento. La masculinidad heroica en la cárcel y las mujeres en las calles

En este artículo se analiza el papel que los hombres y las mujeres jugaron en el movimiento estudiantil del 68. A la vez que se señala la preponderancia de los hombres en la dirección del movimiento y en la posterior reinterpretación de los acontecimientos, las autoras destacan los factores que contribuyeron a que el papel de las mujeres se haya visto minimizado hasta el punto de que aun ellas se han considerado tan sólo como un elemento pasivo en la construcción e identidad del movimiento del 68. Las autoras cuestionan estos roles que, en el caso de los hombres, incluso, ha adquirido matices de heroicidad, reforzados por el hecho de su encarcelamiento y persecución. En este contexto, han quedado ocultas muchas voces y rasgos de un movimiento que se quería plural. Palabras clave: movimiento estudiantil, cárcel, masculinidad heroica, Universida
