Teresa de Lauretis . On Teaching Feminist Theory

Teresa de Lauretis est une des plus notables théoriciennes féministes contemporaines. Née en Italie, elle enseigne depuis longtemps aux Etats Unis ; elle est actuellement professeur de « History of Consciousness « , un programme interdisciplinaire de doctorat à l´University of California, Santa Cruz,

Elle a enseigné la littérature comparée, la sémiotique, « women's studies » et « film studies » dans plusieurs universités américaines , ainsi qu´au Canada, en Allemagne, en Italie et aux Pays Bas. Ses oeuvres ont été traduites en 14 langues , en Europe, Amérique Latine et Asie.

Dès les premiers balbutiements de la revue Labrys elle nous a fait confiance et y a publié plusieurs textes. Son oeuvre est vaste et transite entre plusieurs domaines, notamment le cinéma et la construction sociale du féminin, dont les catégories de « eccentric subject », "expérience" et de"technologies de production du genre" en sont les pierres de touche au sein des théories féministes.

Pour notre 10ème anniversaire (20 numéros parus), nous voulons ici la remercier de son appui et de son travail pour l´approfondissement des théories critiques féministes.
