Die Politikwissenschaft hat bislang kein Interesse an der Frauenproblematik gezeigt. Dies wird darauf zurückgeführt, daß sowohl Erkenntnisinteressen, Paradigmen, Theorien als auch die Forschungsthemen aus rein männlicher Sicht geprägt sind. Die Autorin erläutert ihre These dahingehend, daß das westliche politische Denken sowie die öffentliche Sphäre auf Männlichkeit aufgebaut seien und der weibliche und private Bereich als Gegensatz hierzu begriffen würden. Veränderungsansätze werden sich nicht durch eine Hinzufügung des Theams 'Frau', sondern lediglich durch eine vollständigen Neuansatz der Politikwissenschaft ereichen lassen. (PSZ)

Gail Mason's Spectacle of Violence undertakes an important project in confronting a number of serious questions about definitions of violence and power, and about the nature of experience, subjectivity, and mind/body dualisms. Hartsock's comments on the book focus on issues of experience, embodiment, and standpoint theories.
