Class of 1957, On the Internet: Danielle (Dubosc) HaaseFROM: Birzeit University, PalestineLecture on "Feminist Literary Theory" On April 25, 2005, Birzeit University’s Department of English Language and Literature hosted a guest lecture by Professor Danielle Haase-Dubosc from Columbia University, on Feminist Literary Theory. Dr. Dubosc began her lecture with a discussion of what feminism is and what it is not: she gave different definitions, among them a political definition whereby one can say that feminism is a kind of permanent revolution.While recognizing that today many models of feminism seem to come from the west, Dr Dubsoc emphasized the point that societies need to learn from one another, saying that “if we want to believe in a multicultural world and a multipolar world we should re-think international feminism, taking and updating from one another those strategies and tactics that can be useful in each specific time and place across the planet”. Dr. Dubosc talked about the different issues relating to feminist theory, including the paradigm of nature/cultural opposition, the question of justice and rights, education and economics, political equality and the question of ‘feminism, to what end?’.She concluded her lecture by saying that feminism has a double bind in its double imperative: that of assimilation and of subversion, emphasizing the fact that people have to fight for both equality and for the transformation of their societies. The lecture was followed by an open discussion with students, which included questions around the differences in feminism in different contexts and societies, particularly between East and west.
