Relocating Marie Bonaparte's clitoris
No full textThis article is an attempt to engage in precisely this kind of reconsideration, followed by a claim to resituate Bonaparte in light of the historic context in which she belongs, a context that pre-dated feminist and sexological critiques of the clitoralvaginal dichotomy as a repressive model. Bonaparte's oft-misunderstood views about the place of the clitoris in modern heterosexual relations is subjected here to an historical contextualisation that relocates them within interwar anxieties about gender differentiation, pronatalism and women's social power. I argue that Marie Bonaparte's clitoris may offer much for an interrogation of simplistic binary habits of judging past figures according to a reductive feminist/anti-feminist barometer. Her baffling ambiguity when measured against recent feminist contestations of genital pleasure highlights the aterity of the past she inhabited, while her anathematised place within canonical works of eminist theory show just how much such debates refuse to pass in the ongoing elaboration of normative views of orgasm

Beyond Black & White : Race, Ethnicity, and Gender in the U.S. South and Southwest
No full textEdited by Stephanie Cole & Alison M. Parker [College at Brockport faculty member] ; introduction by Nancy A. Hewitt [College at Brockport alum].
“The complex, changing and oppressive ‘multiracisms’—to use Ronit Lentin\u27s term—of the U.S. South and Southwest are brilliantly captured in this powerful collection of linked essays. So too are the ways in which differing but overlapping experiences of race, citizenship and terror created both common ground and grounds for division among racialized groups.”--David Roediger, University of Illinois, and author, Colored White: Transcending the Racial Pasthttps://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1279/thumbnail.jp
Frigidity, Gender and Power in French Cultural History - From Jean Fauconney to Marie Bonaparte
No full textThis paper interrogates the commonplace view of frigidity as a notion always founded upon the misogynist failure to understand female sexual specificity. As an historical explanation, this view fails to take into account the contextual parameters of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century debates about female desire within which the notion of la femme frigide emerged and developed. This paper discusses the work of a range of French medical and psychoanalytic thinkers across the turn of the twentieth century and through the interwar period, showing how `frigidity was developed at this time by those who saw themselves precisely as contesting prevailing notions of normative feminine desire, or as defending the rights of women to maximum pleasure. But the inventors of frigidity were no feminist avengers either. Their demands for female pleasure assumed a delicate axis between the avoidance of excess, on the one hand, and the dangers of perversion that would result from any attempt to deny sexuality generally, on the other. Viewed within the context of early twentieth-century French gender anxieties, thinkers like Fauconney and Marie Bonaparte are ambivalent exemplars of the `management of sexuality referred to by Michel Foucault
Human biomonitoring of glyphosate exposures: State-of-the-art and future research challenges
No full textAbstract: Glyphosate continues to attract controversial debate following the International Agency
for Research on Cancer carcinogenicity classification in 2015. Despite its ubiquitous presence in
our environment, there remains a dearth of data on human exposure to both glyphosate and its
main biodegradation product aminomethylphosphonic (AMPA). Herein, we reviewed and compared
results from 21 studies that use human biomonitoring (HBM) to measure urinary glyphosate and
AMPA. Elucidation of the level and range of exposure was complicated by differences in sampling
strategy, analytical methods, and data presentation. Exposure data is required to enable a more robust
regulatory risk assessment, and these studies included higher occupational exposures, environmental
exposures, and vulnerable groups such as children. There was also considerable uncertainty regarding
the absorption and excretion pattern of glyphosate and AMPA in humans. This information is required
to back-calculate exposure doses from urinary levels and thus, compared with health-based guidance
values. Back-calculations based on animal-derived excretion rates suggested that there were no health
concerns in relation to glyphosate exposure (when compared with EFSA acceptable daily intake
(ADI)). However, recent human metabolism data has reported as low as a 1% urinary excretion rate
of glyphosate. Human exposures extrapolated from urinary glyphosate concentrations found that
upper-bound levels may be much closer to the ADI than previously reported.The lead author has received funding from the Irish Research Council and from the European Union’s

Androgyny, perversion, and social evolution in interwar psychoanalytic thought
No full textEarly twentieth-century psychoanalytic thought consistently made use of an imagined past in its most foundational concepts of sexual development. Darwinian evolution was central to Sigmund Freud's view of human culture, and the interwar period in Europe saw the development of a substantial uptake of these genetic dimensions of Freudian thought in a new series of reflections about femininity and female sexuality, in which notions of the primitive past appeared, contradictorily, both as an ideal about appropriate sexual pleasure and as the 'other' of evolved civilization. In her writings throughout the 1920s-1940s, Marie Bonaparte, French Freudian thinker and royal heiress, followed the erudite Spanish doctor Gregorio Maranon in mapping problems of gender differentiation, female masochism, and frigidity onto a vision of evolution from 'primitive' to 'civilized societies'. Both Bonaparte and Maranon shared similar views about evolution and sex in common with Freud. But their ideas were a significant development on Freud's view of the sexual past since both were acutely aware of the emerging currents of women's rights in European societies and both also grappled with the powerful pronatalist ideologies of the interwar period. This chapter considers, firstly, how a teleological view of the sexual past was adapted from both Darwinian evolutionary thought and fin-de-siecle psychiatric thought in Freud's account of the psyche; secondly, it examines how the differing permutations of this uptake in the work of Freud, Maranon, and Bonaparte produced each of their peculiar understandings of feminine sexual pleasures (clitorism and female masochism), and their understandings of them as signs of evolutionary progress or failure

Article Processing Charges Threaten Academic Libraries: A Librarian's Opinion
No full text The aim of gold open access funded by article processing charges (APCs) is to fulfill the altruistic and vitally important goal of achieving free access to scholarly publication. However, if financed by academic library collections budgets, APC-funded open access will ultimately result in the abandonment of fundamental values of academic libraries and librarianship. This opinion paper derives from remarks delivered at the 2016 Charleston Conference. The author was invited to participate in the annual Hyde Park Debate in which she argued that APC-funded open access is antithetical to the values of librarianship. </jats:p
