The Search for Home in the Feminist Classroom and Beyond

Paola ZAMPERINI

One of the strongest tensions we have encountered so far is between feminisms as theory, as an academic pursuit that is part of (supposedly?) progressive intellectual agendas and epistemologies, and as praxis, as activism that happens anywhere BUT academia. The authors we will meet today will help us think of the stakes in this tension, and also of practical ways in which we can move through, beyond, and away from them, in ways old and new.

Paola Zamperini is Associate Professor in Chinese Literature and Culture, and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University, Chicago. She has written and published extensively about representations of prostitution, female suicide, fashion theory and history, pornography, and spiritual resonance, in Chinese literature and culture and beyond, including the sinophone worlds in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and elsewhere e.g. Lost Bodies. Prostitution and Masculinity in Chinese Fiction. She has recently completed her manuscript Sinopornologies. Writing Sex in Late Imperial Fiction and is currently working on a monograph on gambling and gender, and another on fashion and desire in early modern literature.
