Feminism and canon formation are often viewed as mutually exclusive.
Yet what many regard as a canon of American and British feminist texts circulates internationally today, often in translation. This session will focus on the transmission of these texts and the ways in which they are read, incorporated, challenged, and reformulated at a distance from their points of origin. Papers should address the ways that the global transmission and reception of such texts might lead U.S.- and U.K.-based scholars and critics to "difference" (Pollock, 1996) their methodologies and politics, question their assumptions, and rethink categories like "modernity," "feminism," and "theory." We are interested in how the global transmission of feminist knowledge and practices requires changes in our own practices. Papers may be historical, critical, or theoretical.
