text no. 66: Russian G.I.Janes 26.12.1998
"Bill Clinton's personal crises -- the campaign-funding scandals, an
impending trial for sexual harassment, his various legislative and
domestic failures -- require him to look strong, determined and
"presidential" somewhere else, and where but in the Gulf against Iraq
has he so ready-made a foreign devil to set off his blue-eyed strength to
full advantage."
Edward Said
As a Russian feminist I have always felt puzzled looking at American and
British enchantment with Clinton's "blue-eyed strength". He is
especially popular among American feminists, as CNN insists. I guess, mostly
among those, who would strive to become as "G.I. Jane". Just like the
heroine played by Demi Moore, they too would be able to exterminate
REPRESENTATIONS of "primitive" faceless Arab men who oppress "their" women
in the most barbaric manner (e.g. clitoridectomy).
Why "representations"? Because the war today (and the previous one) is
entirely fought and won "on screen" for American women - on TV or on
ship/plane or on their computer screens off the net. These women do not
situate themselves "face-to-face" and "body-to-body" with the Arabs. They
only kill these "villainous" Arabs in their female phantasies. An
international sexual division of labor. Probably, some of them actually
think that by destroying Saddam Hussein despite some adverse effects on the
Iraqi economy and a "few" other unfortunate casualties who "were inevitably
caught in the crossfire", they are ultimately helping Iraqi women to free
themselves from "barbaric" trends in their own patriarchal culture.
Why do I feel puzzled as a "Russian" feminist? When the war in Chechnya
started, a lot of Russian women supported this "show" of Russian military
might and potency to those "Chechens and other blacks from Caucasus". Even
today, one of my friends, a Russian feminist, genuinely believes that
Muslims are "barbaric" to women, and my sister thinks that Chechens and
other Russian "blacks" in Moscow reproduce like rats, posing a threat to
Moscovite population. The virtual absence of any sort of civil protest
against a deeply entrenched Russian racism and ethnocentrism towards
Russian Muslims and "other blacks" shows that they are not alone.
In its orientalism and racism Russian culture is not that "asiatic"
as many Russophobes have claimed. Let's face the fact that it is pretty much
Western/Christian too -- at least, in its "civilized superiority". Thus I
must be "optimistic" -- Russian feminists have all chances of sisterhood
with their American girlfriends, provided both of them are white,
middle-class and have a precise idea of what is right and wrong for Muslim
women:

From: Joachim Polzer <headline@gmx.net>
The fifth issue of the German/English magazine "Weltwunder der
Kinematographie" (Real World Wonders of Cinematography - Contributions
towards a cultural history of film technology) is on its editorial way to
be published in spring 1999.
As this will be the last "Weltwunder" issue of the century, I thought it
might be nice idea to ask several people from film production, cinema,
media, festivals and academics if they would join voting about
a) The ten best movies of the 20th century
b) The five most outstanding technical
developments/innovations/improvements/systems in film and cinema
technology of the 20th century
c) The three worst movies of the 20th century
e) The two best film soundtracks of the 20th century
f) The one and only best cinema facility of the 20th century
I would need your vote by email until February, 20th, 1999.
Happy New Year!
best regards,
Joachim Polzer

Greetings,
On Jan 6-9 I will be presenting and attending the Internet and
Politics conference in Finland <http://www.kolumbus.fi/pi99/>. My
session will cover the Web White & Blue <http://www.webwhiteblue.org>
non-partisan online election partnership in the United States that I
helped coordinate. After the conference I will be traveling to number
of cities to gather and share ideas related to the Internet and
democracy.
For those at the conference:
I'd like to suggest that Democracies Online Newswire
<http://www.e-democracy.org/do>, ISPO, EL-DEMOCRACY subscribers and
others on similar mailing lists meet briefly for introductions during
the first scheduled break on Jan 6 at 10:00 a.m.. Let's just say
we'll meet to right of main doors of the room used for the opening
session. I'll hold a sign that says "DO-WIRE" on it.
For those interested in meeting after the conference:
I will be in the following cities over the course of my trip. My
schedule varies from city to city. While I don't expect many public
presentations on this low key trip, if anything is arranged I'll post
a notice to DO-WIRE (Send a message to: listserv@tc.umn.edu In
message body write: sub do-wire Your Name ).
Finland - Tue Jan 5 - Sun Jan 10
Stockholm - Mon Jan 11 - Fri Jan 15
Copenhagen - Sat Jan 16 - Mon Jan 18
Brussels - Tue Jan 19 - Wed Jan 20
Paris - Thu Jan 21 - Tue Jan 26
London/UK - Wed Jan 27 - Thu Feb 4
Reykjavik - Fri Feb 5 - Sun Feb 7
My general goal is to meet with people in small groups who are
interested or involved with efforts related to democracy, politics,
media or citizen participation AND the Internet. I am interested in
ways national partnership models like Web White & Blue are developing
in other countries. I would also like to discuss ideas on ways to
highlight civic use of the Internet in future through collaborative
online public service efforts that involve the private, non-profit,
and public sectors.
Let me know if you'd like to meet in any of the above cities over the
next month.
Sincerely,
Steven Clift
