Abstract

ABSTRACT The Women’s Commission held in Sydney in March 1973, was organised by Women’s Liberation as a ‘speak out’, allowing the theories and practices of the new wave women’s movement to be shared and contested. This paper investigates tensions around lesbianism and feminism by considering both archival evidence from 1973 of the Commission’s ‘Women as Sex Objects’ session and oral histories undertaken in 2003 with five participants, each at some stage identifying as lesbian. Both archives and the later reflective interviews have been revisited recently in the light of feminist and queer theory. The paper identifies three themes in Commission tensions: emotions, including entangled relationships, as motivations; changing views on gender fluidity; and marginalisation. Both archive and oral history are needed to allow a deeper understanding of each theme, all three of which continue to shape the women’s movement.

纠缠的记忆：1973年悉尼妇女委员会围绕性的冲突

1973年3月在悉尼举行的妇女委员会会议，是由妇女解放组织的一次“发声”活动，旨在分享和讨论新浪潮妇女运动的理论和实践。本文通过考虑1973年委员会“女性作为性对象”会议的档案证据和2003年五名参与者的口述历史，调查了女同性恋和女权主义之间的紧张关系，每名参与者都在某个阶段被认定为女同性恋。最近，在女权主义和酷儿理论的指导下，这些档案和后来的反思访谈都被重新审视了。本文确定了委员会紧张局势的三个主题:情绪，包括纠缠的关系，作为动机;对性别流动性看法的改变;和边缘化。为了更深入地了解每一个主题，档案和口述历史都是必要的，这三个主题都在继续塑造妇女运动。
