Описание: From Kasturbe Versus Gandhi: "Conform! Conform! Why is a woman expected to conform to all the rigid expectations and standards of society? Why do I need to behave according to the dictates of society? Why cant I stand my own ground and be myself? Why am I only nice when I am perfect and serve your needs and disregard mine? Why should I know what is expected of me and behave accordingly?" From INDIRA: "I realised soon that I need to prove myself , else I would be taken for a fledgling forever. You know (Pause) There is heartbreak in the heart of everything... "You mean they have double stadards? They have one set of standards for a male leader, and another set for a female one, right?... From The Return of B: " Pay attention to your education, for it is your books that will take you far. And why should girls be behind boys in any way? Girls are the pride of any nation . They shape the minds and hearts of the young when they become mothers. So it is very, very important to educate girls... "I want my daughter to have the same opportunities as my sons. And all conditions being equal, it is in every girls interest to reach her best potential.

Описание: A new definition of woman has taken hold in Western societies. Instead of a matter of biology and material reality, we are told it is an identity. Anyone who declares himself to be a woman is a woman; the body has henceforth become irrelevant. Gender, we are told, is a spectrum, and it resides in the mind. In countries such as Norway, Canada, Argentina and Australia, laws have been enacted that give anyone the right to change his or her legal sex, irrespective of whether the person has had a medical procedure. At the same time, the industry for gender reassignment surgery is growing at an unprecedented pace. Seven out of 10 teenagers who seek treatment are now girls. The new definition of sex has been hailed as progressive. But is it really? And is it new? In this groundbreaking book, Swedish feminist and Marxist author Kajsa Ekis Ekman traces the ideological roots of this new definition.

With the help of a large collection of stunning glamour models who have been featured globally in many print, web, and video media including Playboy Enterprises, Watson shows you how he creates sensuous, seductive glamour black and white images out of virtually any colour glamour photograph. Dispelling the myth that not all colour images make good black and white images, this book illustrates how virtually any glamour photo can be crafted to recreate the looks of the Hollywood masters. Includes a CD with every photograph in the book. All of the black and white photos started out as colour digital files. They have been provided in their original, high-resolution, colour form for your non-commercial use. This book is for those who have some basic Photoshop skills and want to broaden their horizons and experiment with additional plug-ins and software such as Nik Colour Efex Pro Complete, Nik Silver Efex Pro, Topaz Adjust, and Topaz BW Effects. It s also for anyone who just loves looking at beautiful black and white female glamour images. While most of the images in the book are sexy in nature, a number of examples show how sexy is not always the naked truth, but quite the contrary. Clothed or nude, the female form is a thing of beauty. At the very least, this book will make you rethink what is truly glamorous. Creating black and white glamour photos will help you see with your brain and feel with your heart. Remember it is not what you see in a photograph that moves you; it is what you don t see. So, boot up your computer, open your favourite photo software, put the CD in the drive, and create some magic.

Описание: Dead Woman Pickney chronicles Yvonne Shorter Brown's life growing up in Jamaica between 1943 and 1965 and teaching in Canada from 1969. Told with stridency and humour, the stories include both personal experience and history.Taking up the haunting memories of childhood, along with persistent racial marginalization of Black people, both globally and in Canada, the author sets out to construct a narrative that at once explains her own origins in the former slave society of Jamaica and traces the outsider status of Africa and its peoples. The author's quest to understand the absence of her mother and her mother's people from her life is at the heart of the narrative. The author struggles through life to discover the identity of her mother in the face of silence from her father's brutal family. In this updated edition she adds a coda, 'finding mother', constructed from archives, genealogy, letters, and journals.Initially published in 2010, this second edition includes expanded text and a foreword by Sonja Boon, author of What the Oceans Remember.
Автор: Ehrenpreis David Название: Picturing Harrisonburg: Visions of a Shenandoah Valley City Since 1828 ISBN: 1938086503 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781938086502 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 44350.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Picturing Harrisonburg provides the most vibrant examination available of the history of the Virginia city, once a frontier town founded in the 1730s but now a burgeoning city centrally located in one of America’s most beloved, historic, and beautiful regions—the Shenandoah Valley. Taking advantage of the rich visual record of Harrisonburg, the book serves as a model for how pictures of every kind reveal and represent a community’s evolving ideals and aspirations that change over time.Editor David Ehrenpries and a cast of contributors that includes historians and other experts on the region have organized six illuminating essays around 258 illustrations, many in full color, to discuss Harrisonburg’s changing built environment, its iconic ""places of memory,"" and how ideal visions of the place were often at odds with the lived reality. Their captivating essays and visual presentations begin in 1828 and include town maps and plans, a pivotal 1867 panoramic oil painting of Harrisonburg, early twentieth-century postcards, mid-twentieth century documentary and commercial photographs, images of ""urban renewal,"" and the graphic designs, logos, and digital photographs pertaining to the twenty-first-century city. The innovative approach of Picturing Harrisonburg offers a new model for understanding the past and present of the places we inhabit.
In 1975 Laura Mulvey published her seminal essay on the male gaze, ushering in a new era in understanding the politics and theory of looking at the female body. Since then, feminist thinking has expanded upon and revised Mulvey's theory and much of the Western world has seen a resurgence in feminist activism as well as the rise of neoliberalism and shifts in digital culture and (self-)representation. For the first time, this book addresses what it means to look at the fashioned female body in this radical new landscape.
In chapters exploring the fashioned body within contexts such as queerness, veiling, blackness, pregnancy, fatness, and criminality, Revisiting the Gaze addresses intersectional debates in feminism and re-evaluates the concept of the gaze in light of recent social and political changes. With an interdisciplinary approach, bridging fashion and fine art, this book opens the door to discussions about the male gaze and the fashioned body.
