Feminist Accused of Difference from the Self

In this article, I read Cynthia G. Franklin’s (2009) discussion of Jane Gallop’s (1997) Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment, arguing that Franklin’s criticism is rooted in disavowed identification. Next, I explore Gallop’s memoir as generating such strong reactions as Franklin’s because it describes the intense and originating conflict of separating from one’s mother to develop a mind of one’s own. I conclude by analysing my own identifications with Gallop and her text.
Résumé
Dans cet article, j’examine la discussion par Cynthia G. Franklin (2009) de l’ouvrage Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment (1997) de Jane Gallop, en affirmant que la critique de Franklin est enracinée dans une identification désavouée. Ensuite, j’explore l’idée que le mémoire de Gallop génère des réactions aussi vives que celles de Franklin parce qu’elle décrit le conflit intense et initial de la séparation d’avec la mère pour développer sa propre individualité. Je conclus en analysant mes propres identifications avec Gallop et son texte.
