“…In "Women's Time", Kristeva (1981) states that the solidity grounded in a particular mode of re-production and representation of any entity is rooted within a specific "socio-cultural ensemble" (14). Every socio-cultural ensemble has its own temporality and memory which exceeds the confines of local history.…”

“Marginalization” in third world feminism: its problematics and theoretical reconfiguration

With the imposition of certain notions of agency and marginalization prescribed by first world feminist discourses, global feminism has cumulatively remained mired within a binaristic closure. This closure is based on the idea of an agentive Western feminist center and a passive third world feminism at the margin. This article endeavours to go beyond this closure to initiate debates regarding the operational praxis of a third world woman's marginal placement as articulated in third world feminist discourses. It problematizes the idea of "disempowerment" that stems from a patriarchal model depicting man as the nucleus and a woman as a peripheral and centripetal entity, drawn within the mise en abyme of selfconsolidating representations. Therefore, the argument presented here revisits the notion of the marginalization of third world women by subjecting the theoretical approaches regarding female marginalization and agency-as articulated by Spivak, Irigaray and Kristeva, et al.-to a deconstructive mode of analysis to explore the theoretical reconfiguration of a third world woman's marginal placement. This article reconsiders the margin as discursively "limitrophic" so that the binaries between the margin/center, agency/disempowerment and third world feminism/first world feminism are re-scrutinized. The margin, thus, becomes an agentive plane for a third world woman as she uses it to direct her gaze away from any discursive center. In this way, a third world woman undermines the West-centric centripetal force despite being englobed within what Kristeva calls "supranational sociocultural ensembles" and sees her "self" as independent of any fixed center so that she redefines herself as an autonomous thinking woman able to dismantle the notion of a congealed subalternity. This article is published as part of a thematic collection on gender studies.

“…(Kristeva, 1986, p. 16) As women are deprived of time, linear time, they could not make progress in their life and society and they cannot express themselves easily. In fact, in the patriarchal society women are scarified as they are considered "the other race" (Kristeva, 1986) as they are considered inferior to men.…”

Abstract-In Women's Time, Julia Kristeva asserts that women have been deprived of linear time for progress and improvement; they have been confined to circular time, which is a vicious circle of repetition; therefore she asked for the existence of a third generation of feminists to focus on linear time and to provide the ground for women's social as well as domestic roles. She mentions that the third feminists' duty is to pay attention to the individuality of each woman. In The Color Purple, Alice Walker's female protagonist, Celie, revolts against fixed gender roles. She unites with other female characters and has a sisterhood relationship. This article intends to focus on the effect of patriarchal system on women. Moreover, it will highlight sisterhood and its effect on women's individuality and social roles. As such, this article intends to focus on Julia Kristeva's notion of women's time and the way Celie intends to follow her desires. The attention to Celie's passions and desires in life helps her to know herself better.

“…From this perspective, genres are seen as reflective of different anticipated practices (Fairclough, 2003) and are constituted in the practices of text production and dissemination as well as in the characteristics of the text itself. Historicity is emphasised through a focus on intertextuality which can be represented in a retrospective (responding to previous texts) or prospective sense (anticipating or seeking to influence future texts) (Kristeva, 1986;Fairclough, 2003).…”

An examination of global university rankings as a new mechanism influencing mission differentiation: the UK context AbstractSince their emergence a decade ago, global university rankings have become a powerful force in higher education internationally. The majority of research studies on global rankings have examined the effects at institutional and national level. This study offers a valuable perspective on ways rankings (and other international benchmarks) are deployed at the intra-sector level, by UK HE 'mission groups', to support different policy positions. The concept of object in activity theory is used to problematize the analysis. Critical discourse analysis is used as a methodological orientation to study the ways global rankings mediate the object in this context. The findings contribute to current debate on whether rankings are promoting isomorphism in national higher education sectors nationally; illustrating a differentiated engagement with rankings in the UK context. The relevance of the findings for policy makers and institutional managers are discussed.
