Abstract

Publié en 1973 aux États-Unis, Sorcières, sages-femmes et infirmières enquête sur la professionnalisation forcée de la médecine au cours des siècles et son corollaire : la diabolisation des guérisseuses populaires au XVIe siècle en Europe, la mise à l'écart des sages-femmes au XIXe et la construction du personnage de l'infirmière façon Florence Nightingale. Cet essai incisif de Barbara Ehrenreich et Deirdre English, figures de proue du Mouvement pour la santé des femmes, s'en prend à la légitimité historique d'un corps médical presque exclusivement masculin qui a relégué les femmes dans des rôles subalternes, et dénonce la monopolisation politique et économique de la santé par la classe dominante masculine.

Abstract

This book investigates how popular American literature and film transformed the poisonous woman from a misogynist figure used to exclude women and minorities from political power into a feminist hero used to justify the expansion of their public roles. Sara Crosby locates the origins of this metamorphosis in Uncle Tom’s Cabin where Harriet Beecher Stowe applied an alternative medical discourse to revise the poisonous Cassy into a doctor. The newly “medicalized” poisoner then served as a focal point for two competing narratives that envisioned the American nation as a multi-racial, egalitarian democracy or as a white and male supremacist ethno-state. Crosby tracks this battle from the heroic healers created by Stowe, Mary Webb, Oscar Micheaux, and Louisia May Alcott to the even more monstrous poisoners or “vampires” imagined by E. D. E. N. Southworth, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Theda Bara, Thomas Dixon, Jr., and D. W. Griffith. .

Abstract

The gars are carefree animals living in harmony alongside all kinds of wondrous creatures in their Edenic home of Garlandia. Their shaman, Zachariah, interprets the spirits that foretell their future, but when a strange vision bodes ill, a repellant but charismatic newcomer arrives and plays upon the gars' fears, endangering their halcyon existence.
