The paper I would like to present to you today represents a simple attempt on my part to establish an order among a certain number of texts. My working hypothesis will be that the notion of text occupies a point in between those of work (œuvre) and statement (énoncé ). Both of these possibilities—extension in the direction of totality and restriction in the direction of the elementary—are implicated in the notion of text, but no a priori suppositions are justified concerning either the unity of works, classified by author or by groups of authors, or the univocality of statements, subjected as they are to the inevitable process of dissemination through reading and appropriation. The perspective of assembly and interpretation of texts corresponds to a practical, even professional goal of mine, which forms the immediate background and condition of possibility of my participation in this colloquium.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE: This paper was delivered by Joan Wallach Scott as the keynote address at the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, held on June 7–9, 2002, at the University of Connecticut, Storrs. Founded in 1929, the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians was a form of early feminist caucus in the American Historical Association. In 1973, in the context of the burgeoning “second wave” of feminism, the group began to sponsor conferences where new scholarship on women could be presented. Held every two years and attended by several thousand scholars from the U.S. and abroad, the conference has become an international forum in the field of women’s history. It has played a critical role in the legitimation and dissemination of writing on the history of women and gender.

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:
