  The Chronicle: Colloquy: Sexual harassment?: Background
Gallop, a distinguished professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and a prominent feminist theorist, believes the idea that a feminist could be accused of sexual harassment is a kind of myth itself.
Gallop believes that her brand of teaching came to be viewed as harassment, in part, because of the split she sees between "power feminists," like herself, who are pro-sex, and "victim feminists" who are not.
Gallop says that her comment about graduate students came in the context of a long question she had asked at the conference and that it was a joke.

 Jane Gallop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Gallop (born 4 May 1952) is a Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Gallop explores how the photography of her longtime partner, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee film professor Dick Blau, chronicles their relationship and also relationships between them and their two children, Max and Ruby.
Gallops' analysis of what she finds in the photographs focuses on male/female relationships, childhood, sibling rivalry, intimate and erotic moments, and how the camera both captures and distorts these moments.

Gallop knows she is caught in a bind: "I'm realizing that one of the reasons I can't undercut my authority with students by being shockingly informal is that my authority is based on an authorial persona or a theoretical persona that is itself shockingly informal--that's part of its authority.
Gallop said she respected her decision to develop her talents as a prose stylist because it was her narrative writing that, as her teacher, Gallop had always thought the strongest.
Gallop says she could support the student's application to UC-Santa Cruz because the student had told her she wanted to pursue gay studies, and Santa Cruz was strong in that field, but she could not endorse her for a more general graduate program in English at schools not known for gay studies.

Gallop was filled with desire, and that desire filled her with energy and drive, thereby positioning energy as a necessary part of desire.
Gallop is careful to clarify that the two drives, that of sexuality and learning, were not separate, but were “two aspects of the same transformation.” Therefore, the desire to learn that feminism introduced to Gallop is inextricably linked to sexuality, drive, and energy.
Gallop’s statement that “graduate students are my sexual preference” made her the one with the preference, or the one who desired the graduate students.

 Mother Writes: My Scholar, My Self   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
When I heard that Jane Gallop would be teaching a course on the family (specifically "Family Photography"), I thought that at last I could participate in a classroom where I was not at best an outsider and at worst an imposter.
Gallop's conflict is made more acute by recalling her declaration at the beginning of the essay that "I have contracted here not as a reader of Barthes, not as a professor of theory, but as a photographed mother" (69).
Jane Gallop in Thinking Through the Body elucidates this separation as it is developed by Rich : "Of Woman Born not only speaks the secret of maternal anger but treats that anger as a surface eruption of an even darker, deeper violence that systematically constitutes motherhood as a patriarchal institution.

 Salon | Sexual Harassment
Gallop argues that the teacher-student relationship, especially at its most fertile and exciting, is by nature one with erotic qualities.
But Gallop's personality, as revealed in "Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment," is disturbingly reminiscent of the professor's in David Mamet's play "Oleanna," about a female student who accuses her male professor of sexual harassment.
Although Gallop also never technically seduced her students, she evinces much of Mamet's professor's complacency, with her sense of her own importance, her smug assumption of her flawlessness.

 CLAGS.org: News
Gallop lays out her critique via a very personal account of her own experience as a professor accused of sexual harassment by two female graduate students in the early 1990s.
In her thirty-minute talk, Gallop extended her analysis of sexual harassment and amorous relations between professor and student(s) through what she called the "exorbitant example" of the dissertator-supervisor relation.
Gallop’s opening remarks were followed by responses from Ann Pellegrini (Harvard University and CLAGS Board Member), David Eng (Columbia University and incoming CLAGS Board Member) and James Kincaid (University of Southern California).

 Center for Transcultural Studies: Public Planet Books/Gallop 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
But in 1993--amid considerable attention from the national academic community--Jane Gallop, a prominent feminist professor of literature, was accused of sexual harassment by two of her women graduate students.
Weaving together memoir and theoretical reflections, Gallop uses her dramatic personal experience to offer a vivid analysis of current trends in sexual harassment policy and to pose difficult questions regarding teaching and sex, feminism and knowledge.
Gallop's story and her characteristically bold way of telling it will be compelling reading for anyone interested in these issues and particularly to anyone interested in the ways they pertain to the university.

 Lacan
Gallop's concern was to show how the discourse of Lacan in the "human sciences" (a term unknown to American academic structure) has depended largely on feminism and literary studies (studies of reading and writing) to disseminate its message to the English-speaking intellectual communities.
Jane Gallop similarly warns against dividing the biological from the cultural, and Dennis Porter, in an interesting piece on Lacan and translation, writes ironically of all language-users as decoders of their own language, but "misusing it wonderfully" (p.

 Genders OnLine Journal - To Mirror Tomorrow: Reflections on Feminism and the Future
Gallop's reading of Lacan, in Reading Lacan, emphasizes the role of temporality at work in the mirror stage as an imbrication of future and past, anticipation and retroaction, that is best indicated by the future perfect tense--what will have been.
Gallop remarks that "the mirror stage is itself both an anticipation and a retroaction" and then observes that "The mirror stage is a turning point.
Yet as Gallop's reading emphasizes, this "classic gesture of the self," of méconnaisance, is "the founding moment of the imaginary mode, the belief in a projected image" (81).

 Amazon.com: Anecdotal Theory: Books: Jane Gallop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Challenging academic business as usual, renowned literary scholar Jane Gallop argues that all theory is bound up with stories and urges theorists to pay attention to the "trivial," quotidian narratives that theory all too often represses.
For, as Gallop explains, the practice of anecdotal theory derives from the lineages of psychoanalysis, deconstruction, and feminism.
Gallop shows us how to be smart and rigorous precisely by refusing to ‘get serious,’ explaining how that imperative in fact makes literary critics relinquish what we do best.

In the words of one of her colleagues, Jane Gallop is "a brilliant feminist theorist whose work has received national and international recognition." She is prominently known for her books and essays on the overlapping fields of psychoanalysis, literary studies and women's studies.
Gallop's writings also focus on seminal psychoanalysts such as Freud and the Frenchman Jacques Lacan (1901-1981).
Gallop explores how the photography of her longtime partner, UWM film professor Dick Blau, chronicles their relationship and also relationships between them and her children.

 The Insistence of Lacan on Woman as the Letter
I begin with her statement out of an admitted preference for the slightly peculiar situation it produces for reader/practitioner of literary theory: not to attempt an explanation or application of psychoanalysis to literature, but rather to view psychoanalysis in the light that it has itself shed or cast over literature.
Gallop has given us various areas of focus: "odd marginal moments, slips of the tongue, unintended disclosures." Already we are at a disadvantage; reading Lacan’s notoriously difficult texts "straight" proves almost an impossibility as it is, much less to turn one’s attention to that which is not explicit in the text.
In Gallop’s reading of the relationship between the two, metaphor cannot be produced or reproduced without metonymy, but once it has crossed over that bar, it is free from the shackles of servitude.

 PRETEXT, REINVW, Jane Gallop, 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I subscribed because I want to read Jane's responses to us readers; in fact, those e's and v's add to our understanding of the book and the dynamics of pedagogy in general (which, silly me, I thought was the purpose of the bleedin' list.) So if you could kindly dispense with the Troll-in-Residence schtick...
It is easy for me to mirror back to Jane her various performances in her book in relation to her students, making her a student and sending her a perverse kiss across the wires, crossed though the vvires are.
But it is interesting to me, in a discussion where Jane has talked about restoring power and potential to the dialectic of feminism, that so many of the comments have painted the discussion into the corner of victimage.

 Jane Austin & Philosophy
“Jane Austen and the Aristotelian Ethic.” Philosophy and Literature 23 (1999): 96-109.
Although Jane Austen has much in common with both Plato and Aristotle—she is rather an ironist than a didactic writer and her figures illustrate abstract concepts, like many of Plato’s, but her fiction embodies an Aristotelian aesthetic—her ethics is just an Aristotelian one, says David Gallop.
Gallop analyzes characters and their behaviors in mot of Austen’s novels, arguing that her ethical view, as Aristotle’s, is entirely naturalistic, her values are consistently humanist, secular, traditional, sober, and respectful of common-sense intuitions, and her language is, like Aristotle’s, never religious or mystical in tone.

What Jane repeatedly demonstrates (on every page of her book and in every nonanswer to and deflection of the questions) is an apparent inability to sympathize with or have empathy with her two accusers.
Second, while Jane tries to make clear at the beginning and in other places of the re/inter/view that _Feminist Accused of Sexual Harrassment_ is not a defense, it's clear that much of what Jane (and, especially as of late, Gary) has had to say about the questions has been defensive.
Jane said that she thinks more clearly now that she is determined to write clearly....

Gallop had been teaching for fourteen years--first at Miami University in Ohio, then at Rice--when she came to UWM in the fall of 1990.
In February 1991, Beckelman interviewed Gallop for a publication called Composition Studies: Freshman English News, and both women think of it as a reliable document of what was best about their exchanges.
Gallop thinks she made mistakes with Dana Beckelman, but not the one that everybody else seems to think she made, which was to kiss her at a crowded bar in the presence of other graduate students.

While Jane is head over heels in love with any farm equipment that makes her life easier, she wondered out loud to Johnny if Cub Cadet markets their products solely to women?
As Johnny presented her with the Cub Cadet, he announced magnanimously that they are now the owners of his and her tractors.
Jane then had to remind Johnny that she has clocked far more hours on Digger than he has while shoveling the mountains of horse manure generated by their five equines.

 Amazon.com: Reading Lacan: Books: Jane Gallop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Gallop's work is precisely what's wrong with modern literary criticism.
Rather than explicating Lacan, providing an interpretation of Lacan useful to those not willing to sift through the myriad volumes of Lacan's writings, Gallop instead focuses on proving how clever she is, how she can excise a text with the best of them.
Since, according to Lacan, the unconscious is constructed by the Other as language, Gallop merely wishes to prove that the Other was ultimately responsible for this work.

 Jane Austin & Philosophy
If a philosophical study was not about Jane Austen, but had an important idea or brought something new in the discussion of her novels, I mentioned it, giving the references, even if there was just one paragraph in an entire volume.
Considered in general an Aristotelian moralist (see Gallop's "Jane Austen and the Aristotelian Ethic"), Austen appears as a Platonic novelist, instead.
The same Gallop says that her style is ironic, as Plato's, or Dykstal sees in her novels a revival of philosophical dialogue.

 FATHER DEATH AND THE FEMININE: THE WRITER'S ‘SUBJECT' IN ADELAIDA GARCÍA MORALES' EL SUR
The problem of the ambivalent mother figure reappears in Jane Flax's work on mother-daughter relationships wherein she postulates that daughters often do not receive enough nurturance or strength to develop autonomously from their mothers (35-38).
She differs from Chodorow in her analysis of the complications the daughter encounters in gender differentiation, that is, Flax argues that the daughter tends to maintain an exclusively symbiotic tie with the mother or to perceive the father as representing the autonomy denied her by the mother.
Gallop questions the Freudian structuring of female desire for the father and insists that "the law forbidding intercourse between father and daughter, covers over a seduction, masks it so it goes "unrecognized" (75).

 The Flummery Digest: An Inclusive Litany, 6/93   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Outside a lecture hall at the Center for Twentieth Century Studies at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, members of Students Against Sexual Harassment protested Jane Gallop, an English professor who had organized the conference then in progress, ``Pedagogy: The Question of the Personal,'' and who had recently become the focus of sexual harassment complaints.
Gallop's 1988 book, Thinking Through the Body, contains a chapter entitled ``The Student Body'' where she describes how while she herself was a grad student she had ``a series of affairs with thirty-six year old men (at the time I was in my mid-twenties)...
In it, she admitted that her relations with the two students who accused her had always been ``personalized and sexualized,'' but this did not constitute sexual harassment because harassment, properly understood, means discrimination, and a feminist like herself cannot be said to discriminate against other women.
