<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Consolas; FONT-SIZE: medium"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Consolas; FONT-SIZE: medium">This paper charts the
significance of Emma Goldman's revolutionary thought for a contemporary analysis
of sexuality, gender and revolt. Throughout her life (1869-1940) and work
Goldman centred sexuality as both key to how capitalism functions (particularly
for women) and as a privileged site for political transformation. Connecting
sexuality to labour, Goldman's analyses of reproduction, prostitution,
homosexuality and free love provide a helpful challenge to contemporary feminist
investments in materialist and cultural analyses as opposed, and open up the
possibility of an alternative feminist history with sexual materialism at its
heart. But in claiming Goldman's thinking for a post-Marxist queer and feminist
politics, what do we need to ignore in her thought? What does serious
consideration of the sexual (but not gendered) essentialism that grounds
Goldman's thought do to a contemporary vision of feminist transformation?
Drawing on primary materials and a creative re-reading of archival fragments, I
suggest that Goldman's sexual politics allows for a reinvigorated feminist
method (as well as politics) with a real connection to others at its
heart.</DIV>
