Описание: Arms and the Woman: Classical Tradition and Women Writers in the Venetian Renaissance by Francesca D'Alessandro Behr focuses on the classical reception in the works of female authors active in Venice during the Early Modern Age. Even in this relatively liberal city, women had restricted access to education and were subject to deep-seated cultural prejudices, but those who read and wrote were able, in part, to overcome those limitations. In this study, Behr explores the work of Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella and demonstrates how they used knowledge of texts by Virgil, Ovid, and Aristotle to systematically reanalyze the biased patterns apparent both in the romance epic genre and contemporary society. Whereas these classical texts were normally used to bolster the belief in female inferiority and the status quo, Fonte and Marinella used them to envision societies structured according to new, egalitarian ethics. Reflecting on the humanist representation of virtue, Fonte and Marinella insisted on the importance of peace, mercy, and education for women. These authors took up the theme of the equality of genders and participated in the Renaissance querelle des femmes, promoting women's capabilities and nature.

Описание: Cet ouvrage vise a cerner la place qu’occupe le corps feminin dans la production litteraire francophone des Ameriques et des Caraibes en invitant chacun(e) de ses auteur(e)s a s’interroger sur le topos que constitue la chair feminine dans l’ecriture fictionnelle. Il est clair que le corps, pour les femmes, est bien un lieu a partir duquel ecrire, mais en lui s’inscrivent aussi les enjeux d’une societe, d’une culture et d’une poetique. L’ecriture du corps feminin, qu’elle definisse la position d’un sujet-corps dans la narration ou l’ensemble de ses representations textuelles, se transforme-t-elle en fonction de variables comme l’emplacement geographique, la periode historique, le cadre socio-culturel (pouvant etre marque par l’experience de l’esclavagisme dans les Caraibes ou encore la repression de l’Eglise catholique dans le contexte canadien francais) ? Conserve-t-elle, en depit de tout, des elements communs ? Voici les questions auxquelles il devient possible de repondre a la lecture des douze articles colliges dans ce collectif reunissant des chercheur(e)s d’origines diverses.

Описание: Le genre entendu comme construction socioculturelle de la « difference des sexes » a permis de remettre en cause une hierarchie des groupes sexues fondee sur les seules differences biologiques. La mise a nu des multiples processus de naturalisation du statut et du role social du masculin et du feminin a ete diversement interpretee et utilisee, parfois galvaudee ou mal comprise. Dans le champ de la litterature et des arts, les reflexions sur le feminin/masculin ainsi que la mise a contribution des etudes de genre sur ces questions ont pu faire l’objet, font encore l’objet de rejet, de mefiance et/ou d’incomprehension. Inversement et simultanement, cet outil qu’est le concept de genre est devenu « a la mode », voire « politiquement correct » et de bon ton, sans toutefois etre toujours mobilise a bon escient : de ce fait, il se trouve parfois prive de sa pertinence et de son efficience hermeneutique. Les differentes contributions de cet ouvrage envisagent ces aspects contradictoires tout en precisant quelques-unes des differentes declinaisons du concept de genre en territoire europeen, notamment en Espagne, en France et en Grande-Bretagne. Le domaine de la litterature et la question de « l’entree en ecriture » y sont egalement explores avec une particuliere attention.

Women's mobility is central to understanding cultural constructions of gender. Regarding ancient cultures, including ancient Greece, a re-evaluation of women's mobility within the household and beyond it is currently taking place. This invites an informed analysis of female mobility in Greek myth, under the premise that myth may open a venue to social ideology and the imaginary.
Female Mobility and Gendered Space in Ancient Greek Myth offers the first comprehensive analysis of this topic. It presents close readings of ancient texts, engaging with feminist thought and the 'mobility turn'. A variety of Olympian goddesses and mortal heroines are explored, and the analysis of their myths follows specific chronological considerations. Female mobility is presented in quite diverse ways in myth, reflecting cultural flexibility in imagining mobile goddesses and heroines. At the same time, the out-of-doors spaces that mortal heroines inhabit seem to lack a public or civic quality, with the heroines being contained behind 'glass walls'. In this respect, myth seems to reproduce the cultural limitations of ancient Greek social ideology on mobility, inviting us to reflect not only on the limits of mythic imagination but also on the timelessness of Greek myth.

The loss of a desired pregnancy or the inability to experience pregnancy are intensely personal phenomena; these losses are also, in our culture at least, extremely private. Communicating Pregnancy Loss is a collection of first-person narratives about the experience of pregnancy loss. Although there is no shortage of books that help prospective parents cope with an unintended pregnancy loss or ‘survive’ infertility, most of these books are authored by physicians or therapists and address pregnancy loss through the language of guidance. This book is different. It is the first of its kind because the contributors (primarily communication scholars but also healthcare personnel and other scholars from the social sciences) tell their story of loss in their own words, offering a diverse collection of narratives that span experience and identity. The authors employ various feminist theories, narrative theories, and performance theories as well as other well-known communication theories and concepts. The book’s narrative approach to writing about and thereby understanding pregnancy loss offers readers a method for changing the way pregnancy loss is understood personally, culturally, and politically.
