Abstract

In het debat over genitale verminking is het laatste nog niet gezegd. Deze publicatie brengt een originele bijdrage in dat debat. Door te kijken naar hoe schrijvers van Afrikaanse afkomst de praktijk van genitale verminking in hun literaire werken zelf aan bod brengen, laat Elisabeth Bekers ons zien hoe het debat over vrouwelijke genitale besnijdenis in de loop van de laatste vier decennia van de 20ste eeuw evolueerde. Rising Anthills analyseert werken in het Engels, Frans en Arabisch van Afrikaanse en Afro-Amerikaanse schrijvers, zowel vrouwen als mannen, uit verschillende delen van het Afrikaanse continent en de diaspora.

Abstract

In dit boek tonen de auteurs aan dat een archief geen neutrale, onveranderlijke en historische opslagplaats van informatie is, in tegenstelling tot wat velen denken. Voor de auteurs, allen historici, is een archief een plaats waar er beslist wordt wie en wat er belangrijk genoeg is om voor het nageslacht bewaard te blijven. Zo zijn er volgens de auteurs veel werken en teksten van vrouwen verloren gegaan. Gelukkig zijn er nieuwe methodieken ontwikkeld waarmee uniek bewijsmateriaal blootgelegd kan worden. Zo kan men het leven van de vrouw in het verleden reconstrueren. De essays in dit boek handelen over inheemse vrouwen tijdens het koloniale Mexico, Islamitische slavinnen, afro-amerikaanse vrouwen in de vroege 20ste eeuw, Bengaalse activistes in het pre- onafhankelijke india, echtgenotes en dochters van Qajar- heersers uit Iran, industriele arbeidsters in het communistische Polen, het socialistische Mozambique en de vrouwen van clubeigenaren in het moderne Las Vegas.

Abstract

From Kant to Kierkegaard, from Hegel to Heidegger, continental philosophers have indelibly shaped the trajectory of Western thought since the eighteenth century. Although much has been written about these monumental thinkers, students and scholars lack a definitive guide to the entire scope of the continental tradition. The most comprehensive reference work to date, this eight-volume History of Continental Philosophy will both encapsulate the subject and reorient our understanding of it. Beginning with an overview of Kant's philosophy and its initial reception, the History traces the evolution of continental philosophy through major figures as well as movements such as existentialism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and poststructuralism. The final volume outlines the current state of the field, bringing the work of both historical and modern thinkers to bear on such contemporary topics as feminism, globalization, and the environment. Throughout, the volumes examine important philosophical figures and developments in their historical, political, and cultural contexts. The first reference of its kind, A History of Continental Philosophy has been written and edited by internationally recognized experts with a commitment to explaining complex thinkers, texts, and movements in rigorous yet jargon-free essays suitable for both undergraduates and seasoned specialists. These volumes also elucidate ongoing debates about the nature of continental and analytic philosophy, surveying the distinctive, sometimes overlapping characteristics and approaches of each tradition. Featuring helpful overviews of major topics and plotting road maps to their underlying contexts, A History of Continental Philosophy is destined to be the resource of first and last resort for students and scholars alike.

Abstract

Andrea O’Reilly verkent de hedendaagse representaties en praktische uitwerkingen van het concept ‘moederschap’ door het onder de loep nemen van een aantal ontwikkelingen die jaren geleden onmogelijk zouden zijn gebleken: internet, interraciaal draagmoederschap, het opvoeden van trans kinderen, opvoedende vaders, holebi-ouderschap, de applicatie van nieuwe biotechnologische ontdekkingen en de uitdagingen voor moeders in een post 11 september-wereld. Een ruime waaier aan disciplines, invalshoeken alsook thema’s passeren de revue.

Abstract

In big cities, major museums and elite galleries tend to dominate our idea of the art world. But beyond the cultural core ruled by these moneyed institutions and their patrons are vibrant, local communities of artists and art lovers operating beneath the high-culture radar. Producing Local Color is a guided tour of three such alternative worlds that thrive in the Chicago neighborhoods of Bronzeville, Pilsen, and Rogers Park. These three neighborhoods are, respectively, historically African American, predominantly Mexican American, and proudly ethnically mixed. Drawing on her ethnographic research in each place, Diane Grams presents and analyzes the different kinds of networks of interest and support that sustain the making of art outside of the limelight. And she introduces us to the various individuals-from cutting-edge artists to collectors to municipal planners-who work together to develop their communities, honor their history, and enrich the experiences of their neighbors through art. Along with its novel insights into these little examined art worlds, Producing Local Color also provides a thought-provoking account of how urban neighborhoods change and grow.
