Автор: Rebecca Joubin Название: Mediating the Uprising: Narratives of Gender and Marriage in Syrian Television Drama ISBN: 1978802676 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781978802674 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 125400.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Mediating the Uprising: Narratives of Gender and Marriage in Syrian Television Drama shows how gender and marriage metaphors inform post-uprising Syrian drama for various forms of cultural and political critique. These narratives have become complicated since the uprising due to the Syrian regime's effort to control the revolutionary discourse. As Syria's uprising spawned more terrorist groups, some drama creators became nostalgic for pre-war days.
While for some screenwriters a return to pre-2011 life would be welcome after so much bloodshed, others advocated profound cultural and social transformation, instead. They employed marriage and gender metaphors in the stories they wrote to engage in political critique, even at the risk of creating marketing difficulties for the shows or they created escapist stories such as transnational adaptations and Old Damascus tales. Serving as heritage preservation, Mediating the Uprising underscores that television drama creators in Syria have many ways of engaging in protest, with gender and marriage at the heart of the polemic.

Описание: Many Canadian women fiction writers have become justifiably famous. But what about women who have written non-fiction?
When Anne Innis Dagg set out on a personal quest to make such non-fiction authors better known, she expected to find just a few dozen. To her delight, she unearthed 473 writers who have produced over 674 books.
These women describe not only their country and its inhabitants, but a remarkable variety of other subjects: from the story of transportation to the legacy of Canadian missionary activity around the world. While most of the writers lived in what is now Canada, other authors were British or American travellers who visited Canada throughout the years and reported on what they found here.
This compendium has brief biographies of all these women, short descriptions of their books, and a comprehensive index of their books' subject matters.
The Feminine Gaze: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945 will be an invaluable research tool for women's studies and for all who wish to supplement the male gaze on Canada's past.

Описание: Three years of war. One hundred-fifty thousand dead. One million refugees. No end in sight. This is the grim reality of the conflict in Syria, one of the great tragedies of the modern era. Yet many people remain confused as to what the fighting is all about. The Plain of Dead Cities makes sense of this complex scenario, by delving deep into the wells of Syrian history and examining the vital role that Syria has played in human development over the past 5000 years. Using a unique approach "The Plain of Dead Cities" takes the reader of a virtual tour of Syria. The narrator carries you across the country, through the history books and archaeological sites, revealing the political, religious, social, geographical and historical complexities that have led to the current military conflagration. This book is as unconventional as the land it describes, part non-fictional memoir and part fiction. "The Plain of Dead Cities" is an adventure and a tale, but above all is a tribute to Syria, that most mystical of lands.
Автор: Melhem Edmond Название: Syrian Women: Their Struggle in Society and Their Empowerment Through the Syrian Social Nationalist Party ISBN: 1533095264 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781533095268 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 33330.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book highlights the plight of women in countries of the Fertile Crescent and focuses on the process of women's empowerment, which requires a change in the mind-set of the people and seeks to redress gender discrimination; to challenge patriarchy and traditional power relations; and to enable women to develop their skills and abilities in order to have control of their lives.The author argues that women's empowerment can be supported by the growing influence of grassroots and other nongovernmental organizations, which seek to enable women to participate in various spheres of social life through increased involvement in societal institutions. It can be also supported by the spread of political parties and national movements, which attract women and allow them to occupy decision-making positions, to participate in public life, and to contribute to the struggle for participatory democratic forms of social life. The Syrian Social Nationalist Party, founded by Antun Sa'adeh in 1932, provided real opportunity for empowering Syrian women. This work sheds light on the history of the Syrian Social Nationalist movement and its early female recruits.
