Ponders the diverging roles played by intellectuals in the 1930s Spanish Civil War & the 1990s Balkan war, ie, intervention in Spain & nonintervention in Yugoslavia. It is hypothesized that the difference can be accounted for by developments in the 60 years of intellectual history separating the events. It is argued that historical memory, political commitment, & "common decency" were infringed on in those 60 years. J. Zendejas

Introduces an edited vol that examines the borderlands (1) between feminisms & conventional ways of knowing & (2) between various feminisms. Contributions share a focus on the borderlands between the academy & outside groups, organizations, & audiences. Historically, women have always existed at the margins of the academy. Their reaction to this status has been to construct feminist theories that eventually became part of the mainstream academy. This success has produced a loss of certainty & purpose in feminist circles as disciplines have fragmented along various epistemic & ontological lines. It is concluded that this fragmentation must be dealt with on the basis of a politics of location that insists that all knowledge is grounded in specific & contextualized acts of knowing. D. M. Ryfe

Considers the marginal status of feminists on the borders of sociology in an alternating discussion of several personal episodes & theoretical vignettes. Personal episodes are intended to exemplify discussions of the marginality of women in academia, the nature of fragmented identity in an academic context, the role of race in feminist politics, & class issues in feminist theorizing. The evolution of the academy & feminism's place in it since the 1970s are highlighted. Though much has changed in the academic environment, caution is registered about how much change has occurred. Gatekeepers & other mechanisms of inclusion & exclusion continue to exist, even if various subaltern groups have made considerable headway in the discipline. Through these ruminations, it is shown that practices of exclusion are not particular to white men, but may be implemented by everyone in the effort to protect advantage. 14 References. D. M. Ryfe

Bezugnehmend auf die drei von G. Deleuze beschriebenen Funktionen des filmischen Bildes werden die unterschiedlichen Varianten des Gender-Crossing im Film und Fernsehen behandelt. Die Varianten des Gender-Crossing, das in den audiovisuellen Medien als "Crossdressing" inszeniert wird, sind im Unterschied zu Deleuze nicht filmgeschichtlich periodisiert und können auch synchron auftreten. In ihrem Vortrag spricht die Autorin einige Filme an, die die Grundmuster des Gender-Crossing illustrieren und ordnet sie den Fragen nach der Funktion des filmischen Bildes zu: Was gibt es hinter dem Bild zu sehen? Wie soll man das Bild selbst sehen? Und: Wie soll man sich hineinbringen? Sie begründet ihre These, daß sich am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts das Gender-Crossing wie auch andere Formen der Grenzüberschreitung "zu einem puren Tausch" von Zeichen und Daten, die beliebig kombinierbar sind, geworden ist. (PT)
