| This article examines how sexual harassment has been conceptualized by French feministis in an increasingly global political environment, demonstrating how feminist ideas, politics and legal initiatives are transformed as they travel across space and time. I argue that feminist networks have been a central determinant of the ways in which ideas about sexual harassment have spread across the globe in the past 20 years. However, I further contend that there were basic national differences in political, legal and cultural traditions that made it likely that feminist concepts and policies would be translated as they traveld. Moreover, I show how certain social actors heightened the importance of such cultural differences through "symbolic boundary work". Finally, I discuss how feminist activists both distance themselves from negative stereotypes of Aemrican feminist approachers to sexual harassment and simultaneously draw on international networks and ideas to expand the scope of French scual harassment law | |
