Abstract

This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century.Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim—despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions.Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of “classics,” adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works.In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Abstract

Mara L. Keire’s history of red-light districts in the United States offers readers a fascinating survey of the business of pleasure from the 1890s through the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Anti-vice reformers in the late nineteenth century accepted that complete eradication of disreputable pleasure was impossible. Seeking a way to regulate rather than eliminate prostitution, alcohol, drugs, and gambling, urban reformers confined sites of disreputable pleasure to red-light districts in cities throughout the United States. They dismissed the extremes of prohibitory law and instead sought to limit the impact of vice on city life through realistic restrictive measures. Keire’s thoughtful work examines the popular culture that developed within red-light districts, as well as efforts to contain vice in such cities as New Orleans; Hartford, Connecticut; New York City; Macon, Georgia; San Francisco; and El Paso, Texas. Keire describes the people and practices in red-light districts, reformers' efforts to limit their impact on city life, and the successful closure of the districts during World War I. Her study extends into Prohibition and discusses the various effects that scattering vice and banning alcohol had on commercial nightlife.

Abstract

"Nach wie vor stehen trans* und intergeschlechtliche Menschen in ihrem Lebensalltag vor vielfältigen Formen der Ausgrenzung und Diskriminierung. In den vergangenen Jahren haben sie es jedoch geschafft, Empowerment-Strukturen zu initiieren, die es ihnen ermöglicht haben, in unterschiedlichen Gremien und Initiativen aktiv zu werden und diese mit ihrer Sichtweise zu bereichern, in denen zuvor nur über sie gesprochen und entschieden wurde. Auch die Politik beginnt langsam Impulse aufzunehmen. Die Beiträge verbinden Inter- und Trans*Thematiken auf einmalige Art und Weise, ohne sie zu vermischen oder unverbunden nebeneinander zu stellen. Aus multidimensionaler und interdisziplinärer Perspektive zeigt sich, dass Empowerment und Selbstwirksamkeit bereits einiges in Bewegung gesetzt haben, jedoch noch viel mehr erreichbar ist. Zu den gesellschaftlichen Wandlungsprozessen bieten die Autor*innen detaillierte Informationen über neue (Peer-)Beratungsstrukturen, Handlungsbedarfe in Kinder- und Jugendhilfe, Erfordernisse in Medizin und Pflege, aber auch Diskussionen gesellschaftlicher und biologischer Aspekte von Intergeschlechtlichkeit und Berichte über Empfehlungen junger trans* Menschen in Bezug auf ihre Lebenssituation. Mit Beiträgen von Till Amelung, Alexander Hahne, Jonas Hamm, Michaela Katzer, Ants Kiel, Judith Linde-Kleiner, Erik Meyer, Arn T. Sauer, Kerstin Schumann, K* Stern, Ilka C. Weiß und Simon Zobel".

Abstract

El libro analiza la época colonial en su diversidad social, contextualiza el momento histórico en el que surgió y la conceptualiza en términos de sus variables epistemológicas. La diferencia colonial que aparece entre ellos creó sujetos racializados. Figuras como la del buen salvaje son extraordinariamente duraderas y, a pesar de que los contextos temporales y espaciales cambian constantemente, pueden ser activadas hasta la actualidad. Las preguntas que las autoridades coloniales exploraron como parte de la imaginación de la sociedad comienzan por indagar quiénes eran los "indios" y cómo, finalmente, podían ser integrados. Desde perspectivas multidisciplinarias, las contribuciones presentan estudios de caso para una nueva comprensión de la época colonial, también con vistas al presente.

Abstract

L'image qui s'impose quand on évoque l'exil politique est le plus souvent masculine : ce serait principalement une affaire d'hommes. Tout au plus quelques femmes apparaissent à titre d'exception, mais la grande majorité d'entre elles sont présentées comme des " réfugiées " ou des " suiveuses ", c'est-à-dire comme des victimes plutôt que des actrices de leur destin. Les femmes n'ont-elles donc jamais dû fuir à cause de leurs convictions, parce que persécutées ou risquant leur vie et leur liberté ? Cet ouvrage présente onze contributions qui, toutes, soulignent l'urgence d'exhumer l'histoire des exilées politiques et l'intérêt de l'étudier dans une dimension de genre. Il montre combien cette approche permet de revisiter le processus de l'exil politique.

Abstract

The study provides a close analysis of literary works by women in late-18th- and early-19th-century Russia, with a focus on Anna Naumova, Mariia Pospelova, and Mariia Bolotnikova. Political, social and feminist theories are applied to examine restrictions imposed on women. Women authors in particular were fettered by a culture of feminisation strongly influenced by the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. As Sentimentalism and its aesthetics began to give way to Romantic ideals, some provincial Russian women writers saw an opportunity to claim social equality, and to challenge traditional concepts of authorship and a view of women as mute and passive.
