This article examines to what extent States' right to self-defence should be applied in the outer space. The concept of self-defence within international regulations remains debatable. Brought by the existing reality in international system, this article analyses and suggests in further details that the act of States' right for self-defence should be limited to the act of militarization and not weaponization in the outer space. The argument in this article is carried by the perspective of realism that argues the structure of international system as an anarchy in which states are naturally competing one and another for the purpose of power due to the effect of living within power stratification. Consequently, if states are allowed to exercise their right to self-defence without any limitation, the context of selfdefence becomes broader and will constitute a threat towards international peace and security. Therefore, the right of states to self-defence should be limited within the context of outer space to support only military purpose without any form space-to-space, space-to-earth, or earth-to-space weapons.

ABSTRACT
This essay traces the impact of the wider ideological landscape regarding "identity politics," interpretive practice, and literature of the 1970s on Judith Fetterley's The Resisting Reader. Specifically, it tracks the traces of Black and women of color feminist organizing legible in Fetterley's text, as well as those left by social movements operating at the University of Pennsylvania in 1971. Though these traces go unattributed, this article argues that their presence offers an opportunity to read, as Fetterley might put it, a closed system from "without." The author's resistant reading of Fetterley's text suggests how her "radical feminism" calls for a distinct attention to the materialist operations of academic and literary institutions in an investigation of their racialized, patriarchal power.
