Deviations: A Gayle Rubin Reader
Discussants: Gayle S. Rubin (Anthropology, Women's Studies), David Halperin (English, Women's Studies), Elizabeth Armstrong (Sociology, Women's Studies), Elizabeth Roberts (Anthropology).
Deviations is the definitive collection of writing by Gayle S. Rubin, a pioneering theorist and activist in feminist, lesbian and gay, queer, and sexuality studies since the 1970s. Rubin first rose to prominence in 1975 with the publication of "The Traffic in Women," an essay that had a galvanizing effect on feminist thinking and theory. Deviations features writing on subjects such as lesbian history, the feminist sex wars, the politics of sadomasochism, crusades against prostitution and pornography, and the historical development of sexual knowledge.
Gender: New Works, New Questions draws attention to new works that engage gender and sexuality, and are produced by U-M faculty members. The recommended format includes advance reading or viewing of a new work, usually in part; a brief introduction by the author/creator; comments by a panel of peers; and a more general audience discussion.
