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.

Автор: Samira Farhoud Название: Interventions autobiographiques des femmes du Maghreb: Ecriture de contestation ISBN: 1433120542 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781433120541 Издательство: Peter Lang Цена: 80590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Samira Farhoud analyse dans ce livre incontournable l’importance de la contribution de l’ecriture autobiographique maghrebine au developpement de la litterature francophone a partir de l’?uvre d’Assia Djebar, de Sakinna Boukhedenna, de Fatiah, de Malika Oufkir et de Fatima Mernissi. Elle examine la complexite, l’hybridite et l’heterogeneite du « je » autobiographique. Son etude archeologique et genealogique inedite du « je » decele la richesse du genre autobiographique pratique par des auteures issues du Maghreb. Elle montre comment le « je » ramasse des traditions arabo-islamique, occidentale et cosmopolite. Cet heritage de traditions mediterraneennes est observe comme un « butin de guerre » sociolinguistique et socioculturel bien qu’une « sequelle » d’un amer passe colonial. Ce « metissage » de cultures se demarque par son ambivalence. Le « je » de Djebar, Mernissi, Fatiah et Boukhedenna s’oppose au paternalisme politique au nom des femmes et des « voix des femmes invisibles. » Le « je » devient un « nous » de « sororite » («sisterhood») entre les femmes. Toutefois, le « je » de Malika Oufkir reste delimite par le nombrilisme familial (le « nous Oufkir »). Le « nous » sera diasporique et liminal sous la plume (le qalam) de Sakinna Boukhedenna. Dans sa quete d’identite, elle rejette les concepts de citoyennete et adopte une « Nationalite : immigre(e) » et reclame une nouvelle identite, celle d’une femme arabe libre sur « le chemin de l’exil » et de l’ecriture. L’ecriture autobiographique des femmes phares et elites comme Assia Dejbar et Fatima Mernissi et des ecrivaines occasionnelles a l’image de Sakinna Boukhedenna, Fatiah et Malika Oufkir collaborent a la comprehension sociopolitique du Maghreb, de l’Europe et surtout de la France (l’ancien pays colonisateur) dans leur lecture et reecriture de l’Histoire (avec un grand « h »). Elles deconstruisent l’Histoire et l’autobiographie dans leur ecriture et contestent les autorites paternalistes coloniales et nationales.

Описание: Cada ano se publican numerosos articulos y algun que otro libro sobre Safo. Ginealogias saficas no es uno mas. Ni siquiera es, quiza, un libro sobre Safo. Es el trabajo de una filologa que sigue el rastro a una Safo angloparlante que nunca ha existido, pero tan real, tan irreal, como cualquiera de las muchas que viven en las historias de la literatura. No se trata de un estudio sobre influencias ni sobre traducciones: son mas bien renacimientos en la literatura de diferentes autoras, desde Katherine Philips y Margaret Cavendish, en el siglo XVII, hasta Jeanette Winterson, hoy mismo. Y por el medio, nombres muy conocidos, como los de Christina Rossetti, Amy Lowell, Virginia Woolf; o menos, como Natalie Barney, Hilda Doolittle; o apenas: Laetitia Elizabeth Landon, las Michael Field, y otras muchas que, en algunos casos, se traducen ahora por primera vez al castellano. Ginealogias saficas es un libro de fronteras difusas, que interesara a quienes se dedican a la literatura clasica; a las estudiosas de la tradicion safica, no ya desde la perspectiva del helenismo, sino de la construccion sexual o del genero; a los y las teoricos queer, y a todas quienes, desde los estudios feministas, busquen rastrear la (pre-)historia de la escritura de las mujeres de lengua inglesa.
Автор: Rita Catrina Imboden Название: Cuerpo y poesia: Procesos de presentificacion del cuerpo en la lirica mexicana del siglo XX ISBN: 3034311915 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783034311915 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 97220.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Como la musica, la poesia actua de modo inmediato sobre el cuerpo y las emociones humanas. Su corporeidad sonora y ritmica esta estrechamente vinculada con la percepcion sensible del lector. A ello se agrega el aspecto visual del texto que, con la evolucion de la cultura escrita, dialoga con el cuerpo sonoro del poema y en ciertos autores modernos incluso llega a suplantarlo. Partiendo de una relacion intrinseca entre cuerpo y poesia, este estudio quiere mostrar como se hace presente el cuerpo humano en el poema, no solo como una figura representada en el nivel del contenido, sino tambien como huellas inscritas en el lenguaje y en la materialidad misma del texto. En la primera parte se desarrolla la metodologia para la descripcion y sistematizacion de las multiples relaciones entre la poesia y el cuerpo humano. En la segunda parte se ofrece un analisis detallado de la presencia del cuerpo en una serie de obras poeticas mexicanas del siglo XX, desde los Contemporaneos (Jose Gorostiza, Xavier Villaurrutia), pasando por Octavio Paz, la poesia conversacional de los anos 60 y 70 (Jose Emilio Pacheco, Rosario Castellanos) y el verso neorromantico de Jose Carlos Becerra, hasta llegar a dos poetas de la actualidad, Coral Bracho y Gloria Gervitz.

Описание: Esta obra reune una serie de articulos presentados en el coloquio internacional El segundo sexo, que tuvo lugar en las universidades de Lleida y Barcelona en noviembre de 2009 para celebrar el sesenta aniversario de esta obra de Simone de Beauvoir. El libro pretende abordar la personalidad de esta autora desde diversos puntos de vista, primero desde la filosofia iniciando un recorrido por sus obras mas importantes y por la tematica que subyace en ellas, luego a traves de un analisis detallado del Segundo Sexo y de su repercusion tanto en Espana como en Francia y en otras latitudes. Tambien se aborda la particular relacion de Simone de Beauvoir con la literatura a traves de un recorrido por sus principales creaciones para desembocar finalmente en el nexo entre la escritura y la vida, analizando el trabajo en colaboracion, la amistad y sus, no siempre faciles, relaciones con los hombres que marcaron un hito en su vida. Asi se conforma un volumen diverso pero coherente, que permite una rica aproximacion a la obra y a la personalidad de una mujer que, sin duda alguna, contribuyo decisivamente a transformar las vidas de otras muchas mujeres del mundo entero.
Автор: Sirkka Remes Название: Metamorphoses des genres: L`?uvre litteraire de Gilles Zenou ISBN: 3631638124 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631638125 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 59530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Ce livre vient combler une lacune en nous proposant une premiere etude sur le romancier et philosophe juif Gilles Zenou (1957-1989). D’une lucidite etonnante, l’auteur decede a l’age de 31 ans a laisse une ?uvre remarquable dans laquelle il ne cessait de s’interroger sur l’identite et l’alterite. Si les genres n’existaient que dans la metamorphose? Telle est la these proposee dans cet ouvrage qui ne se contente pas de presenter un auteur exceptionnel. Il l’etudie selon un point de vue original en jouant avec la polysemie du mot « genre » en francais, referant a la fois aux genres litteraires, aux genres masculin et feminin et aux genres biologiques.
Название: De la dechirure a la rehabilitation: L`itineraire d`Henry Bauchau ISBN: 9052017719 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789052017716 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 56760.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Integrant les essais et le theatre, mais portant une attention particuliere aux poemes et aux recits, Emilienne Akonga demontre et demonte l’emprise des figures, situations et hantises qui se retrouvent tout au long de la production du poete d’Heureux les Deliants. Elle en montre la presence et la permanence, l’evolution et les variations jusqu’a la composition de l’?uvre qui incarne par excellence, chez Bauchau, la rehabilitation, la reconnaissance et la transformation du personnage dechu, apparemment perdu : ?dipe sur la route invention qui permit ensuite l’emergence en majeste d’une figure feminine singuliere, Antigone. Sans nier ni leur enracinement ni leur origine, ce livre met la focale sur ce qu’apportent aujourd’hui les textes d’Henry Bauchau, mais aussi sur ce que fut et ce qui fit leur creuset : le long travail d’engendrement d’un au-dela de l’Histoire bancale de l’Occident. Consacre aux formes du passage de la dechirure a la rehabilitation dans cet univers fictionnel, le parcours critique de ce livre dans les diverses facettes de l’?uvre aide a comprendre en quelles profondeurs plonge cette tres contemporaine odyssee. Analyse minutieuse nouee dans un renvoi-enracinement constant au vecu d’une femme africaine nee a l’heure de la decolonisation, cet essai illustre l’attention portee par la critique congolaise a la figure d’Antigone telle que l’ecrivain belge l’a reinventee. Sans jamais deriver vers les formes d’annexion ou de plaquage qui ont hypotheque certains travaux engages, ce livre essentiellement consacre au corpus des annees 1950-2000 rappelle la condition dependante et mutilee qui decoule de la colonisation, dont Bauchau parle dans Le Regiment noir, comme la confrontation contemporaine aux certitudes patriarcales.

Автор: Maureen B. Fant, Mary R. Lefkowitz Название: Women`s Life in Greece and Rome: A Source Book in Translation ISBN: 1472578473 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781472578471 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 33780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This highly acclaimed collection, the first sourcebook on ancient women and now in its fourth edition, provides a unique look into the public and private lives and legal status of Greek and Roman women. The texts represent women of all social classes, from public figures remembered for their deeds (or misdeeds), to priestesses, poets, and intellectuals, to working women, such as musicians, wet nurses, and prostitutes, to homemakers. The editors have selected texts from hard-to-find sources, such as inscriptions, papyri, and medical treatises, many of which have not previously been translated into English. The resulting compilation is both an invaluable aid to research and a clear guide through this complex subject. The brand new design of the fourth edition integrates the third edition’s appendix and adds many new and unusual texts and images, as well as such student-friendly features as a map and chapter overviews. Many notes and explanations have been revised with the non-classicist in mind. Its readings cover women’s legal status, domestic conditions, health issues, and relations with other people. The emphasis throughout is not so much on what ancient writers thought about women, as on what women actually did, both within the home and outside it, from their intellectual achievements, benefactions, and religious roles, to humble jobs and acts of physical and moral courage.
