Abstract

Europese sociale bewegingen verbeteren het welzijn van mannen en vrouwen, maar er is nood aan een verdere analyse door een meer gender-sensitieve lens. Via een aantal internationale en cross-disciplinaire perspectieven, tracht dit boek een beeld te vormen van de impact van Europese sociale bewegingen op gendergevoelig politiek en materieel welzijn. Inzichten van zowel geschiedenis, sociologie en gender studies komen aan bod en helpen in kaart te brengen hoe sociale bewegingen een instrument zijn geweest in het wijzigen van het individuele welzijn door middel van participatie en machtsverstrekking. Daarnaast hebben deze bewegingen uiteraard ook een bijdrage geleverd aan het collectieve welzijn, met dank aan onder meer overwinning in de gezondheidssector en in domeinen als seksualiteit, politieke erkenning en toegang tot materiële goederen. Voornamelijk in de bijdrage van Joz Motmans, “We can’t have men giving birth! (But we do!)”, komt de bijdrage van de transgenderbeweging in dit hele verhaal in de kijker te staan.

Abstract

"Water is the element that, more than any other, ties human beings in to the world around them -- from the oceans that surround us to the water that makes up most of our bodies. Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact, Bodies of Water develops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it. Building on the works by Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

From heart disease and diabetes to HIV and obesity, Black women and girls face serious health risks, lagging behind their white counterparts by every measure of health, well-being, and fitness. Michele Tracy Berger shows us why this is the case, exploring how the health needs of Black women and girls are uniquely rooted in their experiences with racism, sexism, and class discrimination. Drawing on interviews with mothers and their daughters, as well as compelling medical data, Berger provides insight into the larger patterns that place Black women at such high risk on a national level. She shows how Black mothers communicate with their daughters about health, sexuality, and intimacy, including how they attempt to promote healthy living standards even as they navigate widespread, systemic challenges.
