Affidamento, or entrustment, is one of the most important and difficult practices enacted by the Milan Women’s Bookstore Collective, founded in 1975. Rejecting a narrative of equality and sisterhood, the Milan group sees difference, or disparity, as one of the most generative qualities of the personal and political relationships between women. Looking to historical examples of relationships of affidamento, and discussing how entrustment operates in our own lives, this session explores how practices of writing and narration give form to these exchanges and open up new spaces for feminist politics in the everyday…, https://www.librarystack.org/affidamento-entrustment/?ref=unknown

What is a good question? And, how do we teach students to work at writing good questions? In my feminist and queer theories class, a core course in the Gender and Women’s Studies curriculum that I’ve been teaching for quite a few years now, students each have to develop discussion questions about an essay or work they will be presenting to the class. Borrowing an exercise from one of my own mentors, Linda Hutcheon at the University of Toronto, during the first or second week of the semester I have students write discussion questions out and hand them in to ..., https://www.librarystack.org/how-to-ask-a-question/?ref=unknown

Taking seriously our relationship to other paradigms of understanding, this session considers the political significance of translation as a feminist practice. Translation and annotation are key ways that feminist knowledge is transmitted. How can practices of translation shape our relationship to each other? What are the limits of translation? What are the obligations and duties of the translator? What are the reciprocal duties of the reader? Departing from Gayatri Spivak’s critique of the cultural politics of translation, we will consider what is at stake in our own practices of translation and annotation…, https://www.librarystack.org/translation-annotation/?ref=unknown

The last writing intensive (Session V: Alien Language, 13 October 2016) focused on autobiography and self-narration as feminist strategies for art making and writing. In this deep winter writing intensive, we’ll consider the flip side of that coin. Using a series of textual, filmic and visual prompts, participants will attempt to shed the skin of their own experience and ask questions from in- side another body, or from outside the body altogether. In the previous writing intensive, we thought about the political potential of writing one’s own story in a language that has only and always been designed by others. ..., https://www.librarystack.org/questioning-through-writing/?ref=unknown

Borrowing an exercise from one of my own mentors, Linda Hutcheon at the University of Toronto, during the first or second week of the semester I have students write discussion questions out and hand them in to me. I then respond to their questions with feedback about how to make their question one that will provoke an even deeper engagement with the assigned text both on their part, and on the part of the class. I’ve named the handout “some notes on how to ask a good question about theory that will provoke conversation and further discussion from your colleagues” and I attach it to the back of most of my syllabi…, https://www.librarystack.org/how-to-ask-a-question/?ref=unknown
