Ettinger

I note that despite Ettinger's name being removed from the parts of this article where it does not belong, it has returned, by a contributor who did not note what they were doing. In general, I find references to Ettinger in several related articles in Wikipedia that are not merely "out of proportion" with her reputation in the field, but put her in places she simply does not belong.

For example, in this paragraph:

The Anglo-Saxon world refers to literary and psychoanalytical works by French feminists of the 1970s-1990s as "French Feminism". These include works by Chantal Chawaf, Catherine Clément, Hélène Cixous, Bracha L. Ettinger, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Monique Wittig or the film maker Agnès Varda (L'une chante, l'autre pas, 1977).

While neither Chawaf nor Varda is conventionally included in discussions of French Feminism as found in the US (the subject of this part of the article), they are both of the same rough time period as the others and produced substantial bodies of work that are typically discussed together; their names are routinely found in both US discussions of the field and in translated material by French scholars. Ettinger, by contrast, is active in the 1990s and (mostly) 2000s. I work in this area and routinely teach courses on this topic at the University level, and I have never heard anyone mention Ettinger in this context, and I can't find printed references (for example in French Feminism anthologies) that even mention her.

I believe someone with an agenda to promote Ettinger has hacked several pages in this area to radically over-state her place in the field. In my opinion all reference to her should be deleted from discussion such as this one for which no references can be provided. Also a case where some kind of vigilance is necessary to prevent the same hacking that's happened before. Wichitalineman (talk) 17:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Feminism in France

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Feminism in France's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Wright2000":

From Feminism: Wright, Elizabeth (2000). Lacan and Postfeminism (Postmodern Encounters). Totem Books. ISBN 978-1-84046-182-9. {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: checksum (help)
From Postfeminism: Wright, Elizabeth, Lacan and Postfeminism (Icon Books, 2000), ISBN 9781840461829 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I took the liberty of assuming that one of them was appropriate for this article and then combined the two as similar enough. Thanks, nonsentient being. Nick Levinson (talk) 19:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sources available including Feminist Theory

I don't have the expertise to edit this article's French feminist theory section, but, for anyone who does, here's a book I came across with a chapter on the subject: Donovan, Josephine, Feminist Theory: The Intellectual Traditions (N.Y.: Continuum, 3d ed. pbk. 2000 (© 1985, 1992, & 2000) (ISBN 0-8264-1248-3)), ch. 4 (author prof. Eng., Univ. of Maine). Also, Mary Daly briefly critiqued French feminism in one of her books, but I don't remember which one; it likely was a later title.
