Abstract

Gender and love are so intimately interconnected that it sometimes seems as though they bring each other into being. But their relationship is shifting as human society develops new understandings of identity, gender and the self. The chapters in this volume explore the convoluted and ever-changing nature of love, gender and identity from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, bearing testimony to the perennial appeal of this field of inquiry. There are chapters on the historical constructions of love and gender; the philosophical aspects of the matter; the faultlines in twenty-first-century heteronormativity; and the challenges of love from and within the margins. Gender and love are interdisciplinary and this volume will appeal to scholars from all disciplinary protocols.

Abstract

"The Second Sound is an imaginary conversation between musicians and sound artists on the role of gender and sex within their field. It gathers testimonies from a variety of artists from different backgrounds into a single stream of (often contrary) opinions. Together, they address questions like: How do life circumstances find their way into music and sound art? How does music reflect historical and social structures? What does discrimination do, and how can we navigate around it? How to unlock networks? Is the under-representaiton of women and LGBTQ people in the field a symptom or a cause? Is art itself gendered? And can it reflect the gender of its maker? Is a different way of listening needed to more accurately understand those voices from outside the historical canon?"

Abstract

Dit boek neemt de lezer bij de hand op een verkenningstocht langs het lichaam van de vrouw, met uitleg over de vele ongewone kenmerken die zij bezit. Het is geen medische verhandeling of een verslag van een psychologisch onderzoek, maar een portret van vrouwen zoals ze zich voordoen in de werkelijkheid, in hun eigen omgeving. De vrouw heeft gedurende haar evolutie enorme veranderingen ondergaan - veel meer dan de man. Ze heeft veel van de vrouwelijke kenmerken van andere vrouwtjesmprimaten achter zich gelaten en is in de vorm van de moderne vrouw een buitengewoon wezen geworden. Ieder hoofdstuk van De naakte vrouw is onderdeel van de verkenningstocht van top tot teen, waarin niet alleen de opmerkelijke biologische kenmerken van het vrouwenlichaam beschreven worden, maar ook hoe deze kenmerken door de eeuwen heen bednadrukt of verzwegen zijn, vergroot of verkleind, om op die manier een compleet beeld te geven van het boeiendste voorwerp ter wereld - de naakte vrouw.

Abstract

Empire and Gender in LXX Esther foregrounds and highlights empire as the central lens in this provocative new reading of Esther. This book provides a unique synchronic reading of LXX Esther with the Additions, allowing the presence and negotiation of imperial power to be further illuminated throughout the story's plot. Stone explores and demonstrates how performances of gender are inextricably intertwined with the exertion and negotiation of imperial power portrayed in LXX Esther and offers examples of connections to the range of imperial power experienced by Jewish people during the late Second Temple period. Stone offers a new perspective on essential aspects of Esther's plot and characters for students and scholars of early Judaism and the book of Esther.--Publisher's description.
