Hi All,
Joan and I are just about ready to have the first round of edited
interviews available for purchase--with all income going directly back
into support the project. They are being copied as we speak and as soon
as we have the copies in hand I'll send out a message on the
FEAST/SWIP/FEMMSS listserves. Joan will be showing the films at the
upcoming Hypatia conference at UW so those of you who will be attending
will get a chance to preview them.
More soon,
Nancy

Joan Callahan is the person who's been conducting these interviews. The
clips I've seen have been fabulous, and she has been working on the
project for several years. I'm curious, too, to find out where things
stand with this (and to find out when/where the finished videos will be
available).
Best,
Lisa

Hi all—I’m cross-posting this to the FEAST listserv. For those not on
SWIP, here has been a thread, partially in response to Kate Norlock’s
posting of some reports regarding the “dearth of women” in philosophy (see
below), about how women philosophers can become more visible. In response
to the question here about getting funding to make videos by/about women
philosophers, I recall at the FEAST conference in 2007 that such a video
was shown showcasing the living treasures of feminist philosophy narrating
their journey. I recall that Allison Jaggar, Susan Bordo, and Sandy
Bartkey were three of the feminist greats featured; there were others I
don’t recall at the moment. I don’t know who’s project this was, but I’m
posting here because this seems to be the sort of thing the inquirers are
looking for. What happened to that video?
Best,
Chaone

Maybe we women philosophers need to consider taking hold of our own public

Hello Everyone, As people were discussing this issue, I was watching
the questionable video "Nietzsche and the Nazis (2006)" available from
Netflix. This is something that circulates to potentially millions of
people. His funding stream is interesting, (see below).
We really need something in DVD available to us and our students on
youtube, netflix, and elsewhere. I fear we are all reinventing the wheel
in much of our teaching and research. I'm always pulling together
pictorial sources as well as learning about newly re-discovered historical
figures.
1. Where can we get funded?
2. Can we get someone interested in making a film about feminist
philosophy , about the history of Swip? Would Astra Taylor who did
Zizek! and Examined Life be interested? Could we give her an interesting
angle?
3. We have archival video, I have a vhs tape of the 10th annual SWIP
meeting at SMITH (thank you Kathy Pyne Parsons Addleson, et al).
4. Mary Ellen Waithe of SSWP is putting together a DVD called BUSTED: A
PICTORIAL HISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE 21ST
CENTURY. Can we support her efforts?
5. Any ideas?
---------------------------------
Available on Netflix Nietzsche and the Nazis (2006) Adolf Hitler and
his Nazi Party drew upon the works of famous philosopher Friedrich
Nietzsche to justify their World War II atrocities and quest for power. In
this documentary, professor Stephen Hicks <
http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Stephen_Hicks/30065214> explores
Nietzsche's teachings and determines whether the Nazis correctly
interpreted their meaning. History buffs and philosophy enthusiasts alike
will appreciate the thorough examination Hicks conducts of this
controversial topic. supported/funded by "interdenominational divine

Here’s the post about women in philosophy:
It’s a great day when the Philosopher’s Magazine, the New York Times, and
the Leiter blog all notice that the situation for women in philosophy is
in the news. Note that some reports are more sympathetic than others, but
as my president says, I’m looking forward!
The New York Times blurb is here:
http://ideas.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/02/a-dearth-of-women-philosophers/
It draws its admittedly “women are put off by adversarial culture”
–focused angle from a longer and more complex argument in the TPM:

And Brian Leiter notes its circulation as well:

Enjoy,
