Abstract

Le foyer, un lieu de repli frileux où l’on s’avachit devant la télévision en pyjama informe ? Sans doute. Mais aussi, dans une époque dure et désorientée, une base arrière où l’on peut se protéger, refaire ses forces, se souvenir de ses désirs. Dans l’ardeur que l’on met à se blottir chez soi ou à rêver de l’habitation idéale s’exprime ce qu’il nous reste de vitalité, de foi en l’avenir.Ce livre voudrait montrer la sagesse des casaniers, injustement dénigrés. Mais il explore aussi la façon dont ce monde que l’on croyait fuir revient par la fenêtre. Difficultés à trouver un logement abordable, ou à profiter de son chez-soi dans l’état de « famine temporelle » qui nous caractérise. Ramifications passionnantes de la simple question : « Qui fait le ménage ? » ; persistance du modèle du bonheur familial, alors même que l’on rencontre des modes de vie bien plus inventifs…Autant de préoccupations à la fois intimes et collectives, passées ici en revue comme on range et nettoie un intérieur empoussiéré : pour tenter d’y voir plus clair et de se sentir mieux.

Abstract

The election of an unabashedly patriarchal man as US President was a shock for many--despite decades of activism on gender inequalities and equal rights, how could it come to this? What is it about patriarchy that seems to make it so resilient and resistant to change? Undoubtedly it endures in part because some people benefit from the unequal advantages it confers. But is that enough to explain its stubborn persistence? In this highly original and persuasively argued book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider put forward a different view: they argue that patriarchy persists because it serves a psychological function. By requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of hierarchy, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability of loving and becomes a defense against loss. Uncovering the powerful psychological mechanisms that underpin patriarchy, the authors show how forces beyond our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise seems inexplicable.

Abstract

In 1953 publiceerde de antropoloog Ashley Montagu dit baanbrekend werk waarin komaf gemaakt wordt met de diepgewortelde overtuiging dat mannen 'van nature' superieur zijn aan vrouwen. Vanaf het eind van de 19e eeuw werden door Darwin en andere aanhangers van de evolutieleer wetenschappelijke argumenten aangehaald die de idee van mannelijke dominantie bevestigden. "The natural superiority of women" kan gelezen worden als een veelgelaagd argument tegen deze overtuiging. Zich baserend op biologische, culturele en antropologische bevindingen, argumenteert Montagu dat de genetische, biologische en fysische kenmerken van de vrouw haar niet alleen tot 's mans gelijke maken maar zelfs tot zijn meerdere. Enerzijds deconstrueert Montagu de theorie van de passieve rol van de vrouw in de evolutie en van haar inferieure cognitieve en andere capaciteiten die daar een gevolg van zouden zijn. Anderzijds toont hij zich een overtuigd aanhanger van het sociaal constructivisme en beschrijft hij hoe veel van hetgeen voorheen als een onuitroeibaar, biologisch verschil werd beschouwd in feite cultureel geconstrueerd is.In elke volgende uitgave van het boek verwerkte Montagu nieuwe inzichten en trends, vaak van feministische auteurs, die betrekking hebben op de rol van gender in de menselijke evolutie. In deze vijfde editie resulteert dit in een palimpsest van twintigste-eeuwse wetenschappelijke, humanistische en progressieve benaderingen van gender. Het is een dialoog met een eeuw antropologische theorie en een uitvoerige kritiek op allerlei reductionistische tendensen waartoe bepaalde takken van de wetenschap, zoals de sociobiologie, zich vaak laten verleiden.

Abstract

"In Lesbian Death, Mairead Sullivan probes the perception that lesbian status is in retreat, exploring the political promises-and failures-of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. Sullivan reads how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from the 1970s onward, arguing that lesbian offers disruptive potential and offering a fresh perspective on her value for feminist and queer projects"-- The loss of lesbian spaces, as well as ideas of the lesbian as anachronistic, has called into question the place of lesbian identity within our current culture. In Lesbian Death, Mairead Sullivan probes the perception that lesbian status is in retreat, exploring the political promises--and failures--of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. Arguing that lesbian offers disruptive potential, Sullivan reads how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from the 1970s onward, examining the rise of lesbian breast cancer activism in San Francisco in conversation with ACT UP, the lesbian separatist manifestos the C.L.I.T. papers, the enduring specter of lesbian bed death, and the weaponization of lesbian identity against trans lives. By situating the lesbian as a border figure between feminist and queer, Lesbian Death offers a fresh perspective on the value of lesbian for both feminist and queer projects, even if her value is her death--back cover.

Abstract

This book examines the potential impact of rape survivors’ traumatic experiences in post-conflict zones. With specific attention given to the experiences of women who were sexually abused during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, it addresses the sexuality of survivors, which has so far been inadequately researched, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images and narrations that have so far prevailed in academic and public discourse about women survivors while exploring the effects of those narratives on the political, social and economic status of the survivors themselves.Methodologically innovative, the book questions the processes of re-victimization that can follow fieldwork with survivors and introduces the theoretical and practical foundations of applied drama and community theater as a research approach in this field, revealing its potential as a means of expressing a range of ethnographic, anthropological and case-study research findings. Based on the narratives of advocates, scholars and different social stakeholders, together with new drama-based methodologies employed directly with survivors, Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research offers a sensitive and ethically-responsible research approach to contesting assumptions about the sexualities of survivors of sexual violence and revealing the emancipatory potential of testifying.This book will appeal to scholars of sociology and gender studies, victimology and sexuality

Abstract

Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.
