Feminist theory, in both its identity-based and its anti-essentialist versions, has denied the validity of transgendered people's experience. Rather, feminism needs to retheorize its understanding of identity in light of new insights offered by transgendered people's experience into the structural and systemic production of "liminal" or "boundary" conditions within political communities. ; La théorie féministe dans ses deux versions l'une basée sur l'identité et l'autre anti-essentialiste a rejeté la validité de l'expérience des transgendéristes. Le féminisme devrait plutôt remettre en théorie sa compréhension de l'identité en tenant compte de l'expérience des transgendéristes dans la production structurelle et systémique des conditions "limitrophes" ou "frontières" au sein des communautés politiques.

An exploration of ways in which subjectivity -- eg, the Cartesian subject -- has been critiqued by Marxist & feminist theorists, & in which the subject has been theorized by poststructuralists -- who base their deconstruction of the subject on language -- & by followers of Michel Foucault -- whose ideas are more concerned with notions of discourse & understanding of power. Parallel treatments by poststructuralist, Marxist, & feminist theorists are indicated, & political implications of their approaches are considered. V. Wagener

The changes which are occurring in the field of employment are tremendous and are likely to continue at least until 1995, when the full force of the diminished number of school leavers reaches its peak. This total change in the pattern of working is a highly significant factor in the area of women's careers, which is going to give well‐qualified women marvellous opportunities. It will favour both women who are working towards management, and will also make possible the return to work by women who have spent years away from business caring for their families ‐ but there are problems!

This, and a variety of other topics were among those addressed at a
recent conference, "Harnessing the Female Resource", and
forms the basis of this article. The article aims to further the
training and development of women and is directed at anyone who has
influence in this field‐women themselves, teachers, career counsellors,
employers.

Whenever one encounters a great performance on the sports field, in the arts, or in politics, one is immediately conscious of the person's confidence. Whether one is watching Torvill and Dean, Ashkenazy, or the truly great political figures, there is a poise, a certainty, which transmits a positive influence.

In recent years training and development have come to be regarded as prerequisites of promotion. Every organization boasting any kind of personnel policy has departments devoted to these activities. There is no longer any doubt that, properly carried out and fitted logically into a career strategy, training and development are important management tools. Regrettably, however, women are all too often excluded.

A collective picture of modern capitalism suggests that economic prospects, political costs, and implications for human development and freedom under this system are grim indeed. However the possibility of an alternative viewpoint, and an alternative system, provide grounds for optimism. The authors in Critical Political Studies challenge the neo-liberal, pro-market ideology that has arisen in the age of the so-called "post-communist" new world order, wrestling with the implications of globalization, democratization, and the politics of radical social change.
