There was once a beautiful Canadian feminist film (made around 1985) that's
subject was also weeds. It challenged the idea of a central plot in film
making as ultimately patriarchical, so as you can imagine, it was a bit
abstract. However, the story (or situation) was this: a woman is cleaning her
new kitchen, ordering it, placing spices in drawers, sweeping the porch and
counting potatoes. Many shots are super-imposed with blueprints and recipies.
She can't seem to keep the garden out of the kitchen no matter how much
cleaning she does. Eventually she decides to follow the garden. As time passes
her kitchen is destroyed by overgrowth, she goes feral, eats food straight
from the ground. Finally, you are usure of who the story is about, the
kitchen, the overgrowth, or the architechts of both, or the woman in between.
I'd really like to see this film . . . can anyone help me with the title (and
perhaps a source).
thanks.

Have you gotten responses from your query of 8/25? >Query was
regarding our feelings about the reputation of ecofeminism.<
Frankly, until I saw it on the Internet, I was not familiar with
this "mindset" (for lack of a better term). I have since read SOME
about it, but am far too busy to delve in as I'd like to. I'm sure
it IS "new-age," but "witch-related?" Whoa - someone let me in on
THIS?! Perhaps there are things I SHOULD know (and don't).....
Your next-to-last paragraph regarding your "sensing" the movement
as "inclusive, populist and veering away from the language-oriented
arsuments of campus feminism toward a method of empowerment" is
certainly what I'd like to THINK that it is. As I am evidently a
late-comer to this group, I'm as interested as you in any "facts"
OR feelings on this!

Hi ECOFEMers!
I received this info from a friend who thought ECOFEMers might be
interested. Enjoy!

===========================================================
ANNOUNCING: GLOBAL PARTICIPATION NET (GP-NET)!
You are cordially invited to subscribe to USAID'S new electronic
discussion group, GP-NET, which will open September 11. GP-NET
uses Internet to enable interested USAID staff and other
development practitioners anywhere in the world to engage in a
conversation about participatory approaches.
The conversation will have a facilitator (or "manager" of the
list), Wendy Kapustin, who will make subscribing and
participating "user friendly." More importantly, Wendy will
encourage the group to focus attention on specific experiences
and lessons learned about participatory approaches, as well as to
share useful information and resources for participation.
Short case studies that focus on the use by USAID of a particular
"participatory practice" and explore results and lessons learned
about its use will be disseminated for discussion. GP-NET
participants will be encouraged not only to comment on these
cases and the issues they raise, but to describe other
instructive experiences. With your help, some of these, in turn,
will be fleshed out as Participatory Practices cases.
Please note: GP-NET is not replacing the Participation Network.
As you know, the Participation Network is a list on our internal
e-mail directory of USAID staff who wish to receive summaries of
the Participation Forum sessions and related notices and
materials. GP-NET, on the other hand, makes use of "listproc"
software on the Internet, to enable the messages that you send
automatically to be received by all other GP-NET subscribers.
Another important difference is that GP-NET includes development
practitioners from outside USAID: other donors, PVOs,
universities and--with your help--host country NGOs and other
institutions. Like the Participation Network and the
Participation Forum, GP-NET is an effort of USAID's Participation
Initiative.
If you would like to subscribe to GP-NET, or if you have
questions about it, please contact Wendy Kapustin via e-mail (or
at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]). To subscribe you, she will need to
know your Internet address.
