Abstract

I begin with a passage in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata (411 bc) to which I shall have occasion to return again in what follows.1 The women of Athens, having agreed earlier to withhold sex from their husbands in order to compel them to end the war between Athens and Sparta, have now seized control of the Athenian acropolis. The purpose of this second stratagem is to prevent the Athenian men from gaining access to the treasury; thus, they will no longer be able to maintain the fleet on which Athens’s power depends and will be obliged to accept peace. At this point in the action, a proboulos, one of the officials elected to exercise plenipotentiary powers in the aftermath of the defeat of the Athenian armada in Syracuse three years earlier, arrives at the gate to the acropolis in order to force an entry into the citadel.2 When he learns the nature of the women’s plot, he complains that the Athenian men themselves are to blame if their wives are now behaving in so outrageous a manner:

期刊介绍： differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
