Love and the Post: “Critical Intimacy” and Transnational Feminist Methods
Dawn Rae Davis, Women's Studies
This paper explores how feminist theory might engage an intimate politics in understanding the conditions of its production. Taking events of "9/11" as a point of entry, Davis probes the potential of ethics to negotiate self-other formations that are always at stake in the cross-flows of communication. These ethics, the essay argues, define a pedagogical dimension to contemporary feminist theorizing.
