Este trabalho quer mostrar que a mulher Teresa de Jesus (1515-1582) ─ escritora, mística, profetisa, fundadora, reformadora, pedagoga, teóloga e doutora da Igreja ─ tem muito a dizer à mulher do século XXI. A experiência mística de Teresa é essencialmente evangélica, feminina e trabalhadora. Oferece à Igreja uma doutrina criativa sobre a oração, esta relação de amor-amizade. Teresa foi aquela que contribuiu para a mudança da maneira do pensar feminino derrubando as convenções culturais da época impostas às mulheres. Ela foi uma mulher feminista, que deslocou as relações de poder entre homens e mulheres para melhor viver o autêntico amor concreto. Para ela, graça e liberdade formam o alicerce que o ser humano encontra para viver o verdadeiro amor na entrega de si e na vivência com o outro. Ela mostra que a oração, este trato de amizade, produz esse despertar, essa autoconsciência de si mesmo. Teresa, como mistagoga, conduz o leitor a experimentar um itinerário de amor e liberdade que ela própria experimentou.
This work is to show the woman Teresa de Jesus (1515-1582) - writer, mystic, prophetess, founder, reformer, pedagogue, theologian and doctor of the Church - has much to say to the woman of the 21st century. Teresa s mystical experience is essentially evangelical, feminine and hardworking. It offers the Church a creative doctrine about prayer, this relationship of love and friendship. Teresa was the one who changed the way of feminine thinking by overturning the cultural conventions of the time imposed on women. She was a feminist woman who shifts the power relations between men and women to better live the authentic concrete love. For her, grace and freedom form the foundation that the human being finds to live the true love in the surrender of self and in the experience with the other. She shows that prayer, this deal of friendship, produces this awakening, this self-awareness of oneself. Teresa, as a mystagogue, leads the reader to experience an itinerary of love and freedom tried by her own self.

Full textAbstract:
Upon being announced as one of the winners of the 1973 National Book Award, John Williams’ novel Augustus (1972) was classified as a book of a supposedly more traditional form compared to John Barth’s experimental work Chimera (1972) that Augustus shared the prize with that year. This essay will examine John Williams’ novel Augustus, with the purpose of analysing two of the novel’s main characters, Augustus and his daughter Julia. To define both of the characters, this essay will be looking in-depth into how Williams showcases the various ways both characters go about using the power that is bestowed upon them. This essay will be employing Fredric Jameson’s Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991) to establish the environment of nihilism present in the Roman Empire that nears the “waning of affect” and exhaustion Jameson states occurs with the coming of postmodernism. Ferdinand de Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics (1916) will be placed in dialogue with Luce Irigaray’s Speculum of the Other Woman (1974) to showcase the varying masculine and feminine practices of language both characters employ and the consequences these forms of expression bring with the duplicitous ways of the Roman Empire looming in the background behind both Augustus and Julia.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail propose une réflexion sur le principe féminin dans l’œuvre romanesque d’Ernest J. Gaines : Catherine Carmier, Of Love and Dust, A Gathering of Old Men, In My Father’s House, A Lesson Before Dying, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Il tente de définir le sujet féminin et d’identifier ses principes moraux [par opposition aux principes masculins]. Il s’articule autour de trois parties et dévoile une évolution du principe féminin dans l’œuvre gainesienne. De Catherine Carmier à The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, le principe féminin se fortifie. Dans les premiers romans, le féminin agit conformément au devoir [et par devoir], il prône un idéal de vertu, une sagesse qui l’empêche de créer. Le féminin s’affirme alors progressivement par le biais du langage dans un face à face avec le masculin et déconstruit l’idéologie blanche. Ce travail explore la violence de la construction anormale du sujet noir et les stratégies de déconstruction du mythe de la suprématie blanche. L’analyse de la libération identitaire révèle une déstabilisation des frontières du genre. Face au masculin dévirilisé, le féminin se virilise et relève la féminité du masculin. Enfin, dans le roman The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, le féminin devient militantisme et activisme. La mère de la communauté noire, s’identifiant à la loi Divine de la famille, parvient à créer, à s’imposer, à transmettre des principes moraux à des hommes en devenir. Les destins du féminin et le masculin sont alors en miroir : ils travaillent pour obtenir la reconnaissance de l’homme blanc, se perfectionnent. Ce travail révèle l’idée de la mort digne, idée d’une liberté qui s’affirme dans la négativitéThis thesis studies the principles of the feminine in Ernest J. Gaines’ six novels: Catherine Carmier, Of Love and Dust, A Gathering of Old Men, In My Father’s House, A Lesson Before Dying and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. It defines the feminine subject and identifies its moral principles. There is a gradual evolution of the feminine in the works of Ernest J. Gaines. From Catherine Carmier to The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, the feminine strengthens itself. In the first novels, the feminine acts out of duty, advocates wisdom, which prevents it from creating things. The feminine gradually reaffirms itself through language and faces the masculine. This work explores the violence of the abnormal construction of the Black self and the strategies of deconstruction of the myth of white supremacy. The analysis of the reconstruction of the self shows a redefinition of genres. The feminine is virilized and feminizes the masculine. Finally, in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, the feminine becomes militant and activist. The mother of the black community, identifying herself with the female Divine Law of the family, embodies female agency; she raises her sons and teaches them moral principles. The feminine and the masculine function as mirror images of each other; they work to get the recognition of the White man, and they seek to improve themselves. This study highlights the idea of dignity in death, of freedom which asserts itself in negativity

Este trabalho propõe uma análise sobre as políticas direcionadas às adolescentes que cumprem medida de internação no Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo ao Adolescente (CASA) - Parada de Taipas, voltado exclusivamente a jovens do sexo feminino. Tendo em vista que o universo socioeducativo para meninas ainda é um tema pouco explorado no âmbito acadêmico, pretende-se discutir alguns elementos presentes no processo socioeducativo: a sexualidade, a maternidade, a religiosidade, a homossexualidade e a dependência química. A análise desses elementos considerará as diretrizes e normas presentes na legislação recente sobre o atendimento socioeducativo e as observações feitas no trabalho de campo, ressaltando as dificuldades e os desafios postos para a efetiva implementação destas diretrizes no cotidiano da instituição. Neste sentido, discutiremos a adequabilidade do recém-implantado Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo (SINASE) e do Plano Político-Pedagógico (PPP) da instituição às demandas das adolescentes internas, tanto no momento em que elas estão institucionalizadas até a pósinstitucionalização. A discussão sobre os desafios do sistema socioeducativo ganha espaço nesta dissertação com o Plano Decenal de Atendimento Socioeducativo do Estado de São Paulo, aprovado pelo Conselho Estadual dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (CEDCA) no dia 18/11/2014. As questões colocadas neste trabalho são discutidas através da revisão bibliográfica e da realização de trabalho de campo, que faz uso da técnica da observação-participante dentro da instituição e de entrevistas com funcionários e adolescentes institucionalizadas no CASA Parada de Taipas.
This work proposes an analysis of the socioeducational policies for teenage girls who are deprived of their freedom at Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo ao Adolescente (CASA) - Parada de Taipas, socioeducative center exclusively focused on teenage girls. Considering that the socioeducational system for girls is still a subject little explored in the academic environment, the intention is to discuss some elements in the socioeducational process, such as sexuality, motherhood, religion, homosexuality and drug addiction. The analysis of these elements will consider the guidelines and standards present on the legislation for the socioeducational system and the observations made in fieldwork, highlighting the difficulties and challenges to the effective implementation of these guidelines in the institution's daily life. This work also discuss the suitability of the recent implemented National System of Socio-Educational Services (SINASE) and the Political and Educational Plan (PPP) of the institution to the demands of those female teens, when they are institutionalized and when they get free (post-institutionalization). The discussion on the challenges of socioeducational system will gain space in this dissertation with the Ten Year Plan for Socioeducational Service of São Paulo, approved by the State Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CEDCA) on November 18th 2014. The questions raised in this work are discussed through literature review and fieldwork - which made use of participant observation technique inside the institution and interviews with adolescents (who were institutionalized at CASA Parada de Taipas, and its employees).

Sybylla, Roe, and roesybylla@hotmail com. "Making Our Freedom : Feminism and ethics from Beauvoir to Foucault." The Australian National University. Faculty of Arts, 1997. http://thesis.anu.edu.au./public/adt-ANU20040629.142154.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the possibilities for feminism that arise from the work of Michel Foucault, which I explicate by comparison it with humanist existentialism. I begin with The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir's application of existentialism to women. I expose the problems that arise in Beauvoir's project. Woman's body is an obstacle to her transcendence, and further, she must abandon her feminine desires and values, and accommodate herself to masculine patterns if she is to overcome her immanence and subordination. To understand why such problems recur in The Second Sex, I turn to Sartre's Being and Nothingness. After examining the conceptions underlying his thought, I conclude that his philosophy is unable to encompass difference, and is therefore antithetical to the feminist project.
¶
Foucault's philosophy offers solutions to these problems by eliminating consciousness as universal subject of action, and by making subjectivity a product of time, through showing how subjects are formed though the changing effects of power upon bodies. His thought encompasses difference at a fundamental level, through understanding human beings as particular 'events' in time. I argue that Foucault's philosophy does not depend fundamentally, as does Sartre's, upon woman as Other.
¶
Foucault shows how our particular historical form of rationality, created within power relations, sets limits on what we can think, be and do. He shows how thought can overcome some of these limits, allowing us to become authors of our own actions. Misunderstandings are common, particularly of his conception of power and its relation to subjectivity. Many commentators demand changes that reinstate the concepts he fundamentally rejects. Others do not see the unity of his philosophy. I show its importance to women's emancipation and to a feminist ethics.
¶
Finally, I compare Foucault's thought with feminism of difference. With the help of Heidegger, I argue that Foucault offers a superior but complementary way to know who we are, through understanding the history of our making. I show how the masculine and the feminine can be reconciled through a reconceptualisation of the relation of sex to time. All told, Foucault is a philosopher of freedom and for him the practice of freedom is an ethics.

Esta tesis se inscribe en una trayectoria de pensamiento libre de la diferencia sexual para nombrar en femenino la injusticia. Estudia específicamente lo negativo que encierra la creación y la gestión de la casa, el trabajo, el matrimonio y la maternidad. Teniendo en cuenta la teoría psicosocial sobre la percepción de injusticia y siguiendo la necesidad de ampliar el conocimiento de la justicia, la investigación profundiza en la representación de la injusticia en lengua materna. Participan 95 mujeres de la Región de Murcia narrando el trabajo y los cuidados en el ámbito doméstico y familiar. Se han utilizado varias metodologías y teorías de investigación: teoría feminista, teoría basada en los datos y psicología discursiva. La hipótesis de trabajo principal es que las palabras de las mujeres trascienden el sentido corriente de la injusticia de un modo inaudito. Los resultados re-significan los denominados paradigmas populares de la justicia.The present study focuses on the meaning of injustice for women from the thinking of sexual difference. The negative about household labor is studied. In response to psychosocial theory on the perception of injustice and to continue with justice knowledge, this research explores the representation of injustice for 95 women from Region of Murcia. These female participants were invited to narrate work and care in their families. It have been used several research methodologies and theories: feminist theory, Grounded theory and discursive psychology. The strongest support is for the hypothesis that suggests that women's words transcend the ordinary sense of injustice in a way unheard of. Findings give a new meaning of justice for social sciences.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the Delphos gown, created by both Mariano and his wife Henriette Fortuny, as well as the relationship between the gown and its wearers. Following an object-based analysis, the gown is interpreted through perspectives of temporality drawing on theories by Walter Benjamin and Gilles Deleuze. The analysis reveals its timelessness through the concepts of past, present and future embedded in the gown, as well as its in-between location regarding fashion and art. While performing a visual analysis of photographic and painted representations of the gown and its wearers under the umbrella of phenomenology, the study further takes a feminist approach in order to understand how wearing the Delphos gown can be perceived as an act of feminism, in the context of contemporary fashion history and the dress liberation of women.

Power, Febres C. "Liberalism, feminism and republicanism on freedom of speech : the cases of pornography and racist hate speech." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1324554/.
Full textAbstract:
The central issue tackled in this thesis is whether there is room for legitimate restrictions upon pornography and extreme right political organisations' racist hate speech; whether such restrictions can be made without breaching generally accepted liberal rights and within a democratic context. Both these forms of speech, identified as 'hard cases' in the literature, are presented as problems that political theorists should be concerned with. This concern stems from the increase in these forms of speech but also due to their mainstreaming in society. In this thesis the republican conception of freedom as non-domination is explored as a more suitable account than the liberal one of freedom as non-interference, when dealing with these two forms of speech. In addition, the neo-Roman republican view is aligned with anti-pornography radical feminism. This alignment aids in releasing the feminist position from a liberal framework; thereby reducing the burden of proof relating to harms derived from pornography that this position has been subjected to. Liberalism's view of freedom of speech as a pre-political right leaves very limited room for restrictions to be made upon speech. The republican view of freedom as non-domination, meanwhile, means that restrictions need not be viewed as a breach of the right of freedom of speech. In addition, liberals argue that the most these forms of speech can cause is offence. By taking republican ideas of equality and respect for the democratic citizen, and anti-pornography radical feminist accounts of performative speech acts and grievances to individuals as part of a group, it is shown that not only can these forms of speech do more than offend, they can, in fact, dominate, in instances of individuals feeling subordinate. The theoretical work is illustrated through looking at two real world cases, Spain. a liberal state, and Finland, a republican state.

The present research analyzed the contemporary gender relations from the perspective of the entrepreneurial woman from Foz do Iguaçu/PR. It sought the understanding of entrepreneurship as a tool of female freedom and the identification of the "capitals" of contemporary entrepreneurial women. It discussed the history of women's trajectory in the conquest of their civil rights, both in the world and in the national context, covering topics such as gender, feminism and the labor market. It analyzed the perception of the genre in three authors: Simone de Beauvoir (1970), Alan Touraine (2011) and Gilles Lipovetsky (2000). It also identified the concept of entrepreneurship and the relation of women to entrepreneurship. The main objective was to identify and understand the entrepreneurial activity in the lives of the women selected for the research, through their life histories, as well as in the verification of their fundamental precepts, inspired by the studies carried out by the anthropologist and writer Mirian Goldenberg (2006, 2011, 2012, 2014) who brings the figure of "body" and "husband" as capitals for Brazilian women. The research problem focused on the hypothesis that entrepreneurial activity was a tool for women's emancipation and identified the "capitals" of participating women entrepreneurs from their life histories. The methodology used was the qualitative research, with in-depth interviews, through a report, to understand the life stories of women entrepreneurs of the city of Foz do Iguaçu/PR.
A presente pesquisa analisou as relações de gênero contemporâneas na perspectiva da mulher empreendedora de Foz do Iguaçu/PR. Buscou a compreensão do empreendedorismo como ferramenta de liberdade feminina e a identificação dos “capitais” da mulher empreendedora contemporânea. Abordou o histórico da trajetória da mulher na conquista de seus direitos civis, tanto no contexto mundial quanto nacional, perpassando sobre assuntos como gênero, feminismo e mercado de trabalho. Analisou a percepção do gênero em três autores: Simone de Beauvoir (1970), Alan Touraine (2011) e Gilles Lipovetsky (2000). Também identificou o conceito de empreendedorismo e a relação da mulher na atividade empreendedora. O objetivo principal centrou-se na identificação e compreensão da atividade empreendedora nas vidas das mulheres selecionadas para a pesquisa, por meio de suas histórias de vida, bem como na constatação de quais são seus preceitos fundamentais, com inspiração nos estudos realizados pela antropóloga e escritora Mirian Goldenberg (2006, 2011, 2012, 2014) que traz a figura do “corpo” e do “marido” como capitais para as mulheres brasileiras. O problema da pesquisa se centrou na hipótese da atividade empreendedora ser uma ferramenta para a emancipação feminina e identificou quais os “capitais” das mulheres empreendedoras participantes, a partir de suas histórias de vida. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas em profundidade, por meio de relatório, para compreender as histórias de vida das mulheres empreendedoras da cidade de Foz do Iguaçu/PR.

This study reflects the practice of female sexuality in custody - as unique expression of the subject - and its interface with the context in which it is inserted. The importance of addressing this theme refers to the shortage of research with female adolescents who abide by social hospitalization in CASA Foundation / SP and to propose actions more attuned to the urgencies that are present. Sexuality - stigmatized and marred by prejudices and taboos - should be addressed to break paradigms, as advocated in legislation and policies aimed at children an adolescents. The proposal to discuss sexuality and spontaneously from the demands of teenagers led to the creation of a methodology of group dynamics, interactive and participatory, through which adolescents feel increasingly free to express their feelings their doubts and expectations. The research-in-action-of-intervention-training - used as a methodology - has broadened the perspectives of development of the growth process of the group. To the extent that the emerging content subsidized further discussion and turned into new buildings, the participants were involved in the dynamics and on track to establish more authentic
O presente estudo é uma reflexão prática da sexualidade feminina em privação de liberdade - como expressão singular do sujeito - e sua interface com a conjuntura na qual está inserido. A relevância de tratar desta temática se refere à escassez de pesquisas com adolescentes do sexo feminino que cumprem medida socioeducativa de internação na Fundação CASA/SP e que proponham ações mais afinadas com as urgências que se fazem presentes. A sexualidade - estigmatizada e permeada por preconceitos e tabus - deve ser abordada de forma a romper paradigmas, conforme preconizam a legislação e as políticas voltadas à criança e ao adolescente. A proposta de discutir a sexualidade de forma espontânea e a partir da demanda das adolescentes propiciou a criação de uma metodologia de dinâmica de grupo, interativa e participativa, por meio da qual as adolescentes se sentissem cada vez mais à vontade para expressarem seus sentimentos, suas dúvidas e suas expectativas. A pesquisa-em-ação-da-intervenção-profissional - utilizada como metodologia - ampliou as perspectivas do desenvolvimento do processo de crescimento do grupo. Na medida em que os conteúdos emergentes subsidiavam discussões posteriores e se transformavam em novas construções, os participantes se envolviam na dinâmica e caminhavam para estabelecer relações mais autenticas

Full textAbstract:
Beginning with eight women’s experiences in accessing emergency contraception from a
pharmacist, this research brings into view the undocumented “sexual health work” of obtaining
the drug in northern Ontario. Between 2005 and 2008, emergency contraception was deregulated
to behind-the-counter, forcing women to submit to mandatory counselling and screening about
sex, menstruation and contraception at the pharmacy. Situating unwanted pregnancy as harmful
in this context, an institutional ethnographic analysis explores the activities of health service
delivery and identifies the different ideological practices that shaped women’s access like the
steady creep of neoliberalism, professional specialization and clinical power. Ideological
discourses construct an ideal contraceptive user, who is patient, compliant and appears
“responsible”, contributing to the stigmatization of women. Findings suggest that an inaccurate
government definition of emergency contraception contributes to ignorance and misperceptions
about function; this, along with an empty federal policy vacuum for women’s health contributes
to its problematic status in women’s contraceptive options.

Full textAbstract:
This essay focuses on the idea of the inner landscape as a source of artistic and creative freedom in the mind of the protagonist of the novel Fear of flying, Isadora Wing. Isadora wishes to be a writer but is hindered by the imposing wills of family, society, cultural norms and her own feelings of inadequacy. In order to free herself from these wills she goes through a cathartic journey which involves an extra-marital affair and culminates in finding peace of mind. This essay analyses how the novel portrays how one can be a creative force in spite of conflicting impositions that would stop one from being a writer.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese se insere no campo da teoria política normativa e tem como tema o estudo do debate sobre o conceito de liberdade. Nossa proposta consiste em analisar o conceito de liberdade como não interferência, de Isaiah Berlin; o conceito de liberdade como não dominação, de Philip Pettit; e a ideia de liberdade construtivista, de Nancy Hirschmann, para assim colocar esses conceitos em relação entre si. Objetivamos indicar a possibilidade de diálogo entre as diferentes correntes teóricas apontadas, como também propor uma leitura sobre o conceito de liberdade, para assim ampliarmos o nosso entendimento sobre o que é ser livre. Acreditamos que articular elementos das diferentes teorias pode enriquecer essa reflexão que pretende ser teórico-normativa, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, ambiciona refletir sobre as condições de liberdade para os diferentes sujeitos, tendo em vista as suas vidas nas sociedades contemporâneas e plurais. Nosso argumento é de que o exercício de compreender diferentes visões de liberdade de forma articulada é um caminho profícuo para abordarmos a indagação sobre quem é o sujeito livre. Desse modo, procuramos não apenas retomar criticamente os conceitos dos autores citados, mas também oferecer um possível diálogo entre as distintas concepções de liberdade tratadas nesta tese. Além disso, propomos usar o tema da opressão para articular elementos do pensamento dos três principais autores retomados aqui: Isaiah Berlin, Philip Pettit e Nancy Hirschmann. Defendemos que a ideia de não opressão pode ser uma abordagem teórica e política para discutirmos a liberdade. Tal chave de leitura nos permite pensar não só os espaços de liberdade, mas as diferentes experiências das pessoas. Assim, a liberdade considerada como não opressão relaciona a liberdade com a liberdade de escolha e, ao mesmo tempo, indica a necessidade da não dominação e atenção à construção do sujeito que escolhe. As escolhas se inserem em relações complexas, e a leitura da liberdade pela ideia da opressão é uma ferramenta normativa atenta a importantes aspectos políticos dessas escolhasThis thesis belongs to normative political theory field and has as its theme the study of the debate on the concept of freedom. Our proposal is to analyze Isaiahs Berlins concept of freedom as non-interference, Philip Pettits concept of freedom as nondomination, and Nancy Hirschmanns idea of constructivist freedom, and thereby to put these concepts in relation to each other. We intend not only to indicate the possibility of a dialogue between these different theoretical views, but also to propose a new way of developing the concept of freedom in order to expand our understanding of what is to be free. We believe that the articulation of elements taken from different theories can enrich this reflection that intends to be theoreticalnormative, but at the same time aspires to reflect about the conditions of freedom of the different subjects regarding their lives in plural and contemporary societies. Our argument is that the exercise of understanding different views of freedom in an articulated manner is a fruitful way to approach the question of who is the free subject. Thus, we not only approach critically the concepts of these authors, but we also offer a possible dialogue between the different conceptions of freedom treated in this thesis. In addition, we propose to use the theme of oppression to articulate elements of the thoughts of the three main authors discussed on this thesis: Isaiah Berlin, Philip Pettit and Nancy Hirschmann. We defend that the idea of non oppression, can be a theoretical and political approach to discuss freedom. This key of reading allow us to think not only spaces of freedom, but the different experiences of people. Thus, freedom considered as non oppression relates freedom to freedom of choice and, at the same time, indicates the necessity of non domination and attention to the construction of the choosing subject. The choices are embedded in complex relationships, and reading freedom by the idea of non oppression is a normative tool aware of important political aspects of these choices

African American rites of passage (ROP) have historically contributed to adolescent gender socialization enabling Black youth to overcome the effects of racism and oppression. ROP in the schools provide lessons in Black history, traditions, and culture as they guide youth through the turbulent terrain of adolescence via the communal "coming of age" process. This study examined adolescent girls' experiences in weekly ROP classes at Ella Baker Freedom Academy (EBFA) Charter School over the course of one academic year and five months. EBFA is an African-centered Freedom School in a northeastern city in the United States. This study employed ethnographic methods within a Black Feminist/Womanist framework to investigate how rites of passage support adolescent girls' gendered ethnic identity, self-concept, and peer relations. This study fills in gaps in the literature on ROP, focusing on the participants' ROP experiences within the intersections of adolescent identity formation, womanhood and sisterhood empowerment, and culturally relevant gender socialization practices in school. Three major questions guided the study: 1) How ROP classes supported adolescent girls' intersecting and developing gender and ethnic identities; 2) How ROP classes supported students' female peer relations; and 3) How African values were utilized in ROP classes. The study revealed the interconnected ways in which ROP supported participants' developing gender/ethnic identities, and improved peer relationships, conflict resolution strategies, and personal definitions of womanhood. The ROP classes supported students by: a) developing a critical awareness of sexism, internalized oppression; i.e., colorism, negative racial/gendered stereotypes about Black women and girls in U.S. society, particularly those propagated through the media; b) building appreciation, esteem, and respect in themselves and each other; c) cultivating positive academic identities through healthy female peer relationships via critical dialogue, trust building, conflict resolution, and empowering communications; d) developing personal standards for womanhood using African-centered values; and e) revealing gendered passageways to womanhood and sisterhood in intergenerational and emotionally safe spaces, and across school contexts.

The aim of this study is to examine if the Liberals interpretation of freedom affects the political party's ability to implement reforms which helps to improve the power structure between women and men. The study focus on the Liberal’s gender policy to further examine how the policy reflects liberal values to first establish the Liberal’s liberal position. Furthermore that will provide a background for the Liberals gender policy arguments which will be examined through theories of liberty, policy management and feminism. By using a qualitative idea analysis, this study aims to first distinguish the ideas behind the Liberals gender policy, and then examine if the parties gender policy actually works towards improve the power structures between women and men. The results of this study shows that there is tension between the Liberals liberal position and the general gender policy goals, which the party is allegedly working towards. The results show that the tension stems from liberal values which inhibit the Liberals to implement reforms that provides an effective protection from the power structures which systematically penalizes women.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the ways that African Americans in the mid-twentieth century thought about and practiced masculinity. Important contemporary events such as the struggle for civil rights and the Vietnam War influenced the ways that black Americans sought not only to construct masculine identities, but to use these identities to achieve a higher social purpose. The thesis argues that while mainstream American society had specific prescriptions for how men should behave, black Americans were able to select which of these prescriptions they valued and wanted to pursue while simultaneously rejecting those that they found untenable. Masculinity in the mid-century was not based on one thing, but rather was an amalgamation of different ideals that black men (and women) sought to utilize to achieve communal goals of equality, opportunity, and family.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the performances of gender that permeated the justifications for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan, focusing on the representational practices that dominated the Bush administration's narratives of rescue and circumscribed our understanding of the actors involved. In particular, I will argue that the image of Afghan women as the helpless victim of Taliban oppression not only allowed the United States and its coalition allies to cast themselves as heroic masculine warriors but also helped to reinforce the idea that Afghan women were little more than mere symbols of helplessness, placing them in a position of absolute inferiority and dependency. Crucially, I will claim that this image of Afghan women as the passive prisoners of the Taliban was contingent upon the suppression of a series of alternative perspectives that could not be accommodated within the parameters established by the prevailing frames of war. On the one hand, I argue that the dominant representations of Afghan women tended to show them in decidedly monolithic and one-dimensional terms, with the Bush administration and its coalition allies defining them almost entirely by the suffering they experienced. Absent from these accounts, however, was any mention of women's resistance to Taliban rule or their criticisms of the military intervention. On the other hand, I will show how the international community relied upon a particular historical narrative that allowed them to present Afghanistan as a barbaric aberration in the modern world whilst allowing them to dismiss the period of Taliban rule as a terrifying oddity in the country's history, destroying many of the freedoms that were said to exist under previous regimes. As well as ignoring the myriad of interactions between Afghanistan and the outside world and the complex social, economic and political forces that helped to precipitate the rise of the Taliban, I will argue that this historical narrative reinforced the idea that the lives of Afghan women were in a state of suspense during this period, their very existence as human beings held in abeyance until coalition troops could intervene to redeem them. What distinguishes my argument from the work of other feminists is my attention to the way in which these representational practices are contingent upon an uneasy process of repetition and reiteration, leaving them vulnerable to the possibility for subversion and resignification. Drawing on Judith Butler's work on performativity, normative violence and the politics of intelligibility along with Gayatri C. Spivak's work on the subaltern subject, I show how the activities of organisations such as the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) and the voices of individuals such as Malalai Joya help to expose the limits of the dominant norms of intelligibility, opening up the possibility for a less violent and less exclusionary re-imagining.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how themes in contemporary literature relate to themes in the literature from the Modern Breakthrough in Sweden. I examine the novel Dagarna, dagarna, dagarna by Tone Schunnesson by posing three questions: How does the novel portray the relations between consumption, gender, power, freedom and desire? How does the novel portray the relation between human relationships and money? What are the main character’s possibilities for freedom and independence? The analysis is related over time, to themes typical for the literature of The Swedish Modern Breakthrough in the 1880s, and more specifically to the novel Money by Victoria Benedictsson. The result shows, among other things, that the novel Dagarna, dagarna, dagarna portrays how consumption and market economy seep into the life of the main character, and takes over her human relationships and moral.

Full textAbstract:
The ‘’capability approach’’, developed by the Indian economist Amartya Sen, has been widely used in the field of development and has contributed a perception of development that is different from the traditional understanding of it. Despite this, the theory has received a great amount of feminist critique and it has been concluded that the field lacks empirical data on how women in developing countries can be fully understood from the approach of Sen. This field study aims at filling this gap of empirical data as well as to examine how well Sen’s approach can contribute to the understanding of women in a developing context. Responses such as the one of Martha Nussbaum and other feminist critique of Sen is examined using a field study on poor women conducted in the state of Karnataka, India. The collection of data has been conducted through interviews with urban poor women as well as with women working with women empowerment at a local organization. Participant observation in the field has been complementary to the interviews. This study reveals that Sen’s capability approach is incomplete to some extent in order to understand the situation of women in a developing context. This lack of understanding is further completed with Nussbaum’s work. Finally, the modern feminist critique against both Sen and Nussbaum shows a lack of analysis in them both in terms of intersectionality and power.

Nevertheless, there exist legal protections and jurisprudential developments in the country that are significant for the realisation of women's rights in the context of HIV and AIDS. The thesis concludes that the law is not the ultimate site for change to improve women's lives, but that applied with other efforts, can be transformative.

My research examines the enslaved black woman's reclamation of self through the use of voice and resistance from enslavement into freedom. I argue that the enslaved black woman's voice was one that grew stronger and louder, in an effort to have her story heard, through her attempts of reclamation of self and transition from slave to a free woman. I begin with an introduction to the purpose of my research. Chapter one describes my approach to my research. Chapter two describes the conditions of slavery for black women. Chapter three describes enslaved black women's mechanisms of resistance. Chapter four examinations the reclamation of self in slavemade quilts and the controversial Underground Railroad Quilt Code. Chapter five examines the reclamation of voice in Harriet Jacobs' narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, written under a pseudonym, Linda Brent, after she escaped from slavery. Chapter six examines the reclamation of womanhood is Dr. Anna Julia Cooper's text, A Voice from the South. My conclusion describes how these historical events are still relevant to present-day society.

Full textAbstract:
Government began legislating abortion in the mid nineteenth century and has controlled access to this service for women ever since. With the creation of hospital boards after WWII, state control over access became further entrenched. Regulations and restrictions since Roe v. Wade limit the availability of abortion services for women served by Medicaid and other social assistance programs. The existence of a class bias around access can be seen throughout the topic's history and legislation has unfairly targeted and therefore disproportionately affects poor women. The data show that these restrictions have no impact on the number of unintended pregnancies over the last 20 plus years. Without the ability to personally fund the procedure, poor women do not enjoy the same choices as women in other social classes. In the next decade, we are likely to experience more of the same without having a realistic conversation about Medicaid funding of abortion.

Feminist theories of international relations traditionally criticize realism as a representative of masculine values in the international relations. According to the feministic premises, the Czech foreign policy should be highly masculinises in the way of realistic discourse because of very low representation of women in foreign policy processes in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to analyse feminisation and masculinisation of the Czech foreign policy in cases of three events -- the terroristic attacks from September 11, 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This thesis points out the plurality of masculine and feminine values. From that reason it is not possible to adapt feminist critic of realism to the Czech foreign policy. The masculine values of the Czech foreign policy are determined more by the liberal constructivism.

I uppsatsen görs en kritisk ideologianalys av det nutida svenska abortmotståndet utifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Med hjälp av Carol Lee Bacchis metod ”Vilket är det framställda problemet?” synliggörs hur Kristdemokraterna, Sverigedemokraterna, olika kristna och högerextrema abortmotståndare, samt aktörer i de svenska rättsprocesserna om ”samvetsfrihet” för barnmorskor, framställer problemen med abort. Analysen fortsätter sedan med att belysa vilka kulturellt tillgängliga kommunikationsramar som finns för svenska abortmotståndare, samt synliggör vilka manifesta, respektive latenta ideologier som finns närvarande. I uppsatsen används feministiska teorier om rättigheter samt om nation och reproduktion för att tolka materialet. Resultatet visar att det inom det svenska nutida abortmotståndet finns ett flertal olika framställda problem som kan inrymmas i kommunikationsramar om abort som ett hot mot kvinnor, abort som hot mot människovärdet och de mänskliga rättigheterna, samt abort som ett uttryck för genusideologin och som ett hot mot nationen. I den sista kommunikationsramen finns exempel på latenta ideologier. Det finns inslag av det som brukar benämnas som anti-genusideologi i delar av det svenska abortmotståndet.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the question of what religious education should aim to achieve in the public sphere, and from that comes an interest in what is it that the teacher of religious education should aim to do. My enquiry is located, theoretically as well as conceptually, in the sphere of education. It is an educational study into religious education and situated in what can be termed a ‘Continental construction’ of educational research. I identify that since the inception of religious education in public schools in England, persistent assumptions have been made about both religion and education. I show how this has led, in my view, to conceptualisations of religious education which have been, and continue to be, incomplete. The central chapters of my thesis consider first religion and then education. This allows me to introduce my theoretical base, which is especially but not exclusively drawn from the work of Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt. I develop an argument suggesting that by also understanding religion existentially as faith, rather than as only belief or practice, will open new ways of considering the role of religious education in the public sphere. This is alongside an argument I develop with Arendt for education being conceptualised as bringing the child to action rather than to reason. This thesis argues for a broader understanding of religion, and therefore what it means to live a religious life, in religious education than has previously been considered. I bring this broader way of understanding what it means to live a religious life together with my argument for conceptualising education as bringing the child to action. This enables me to make a new proposal for what religious education should aim to achieve in the public sphere.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se concentre sur le Black Arts Movement (BAM) tel qu’il prit forme à Chicago dans les années 1960 et 1970. Encore largement absent dans l’historiographie de la lutte des Noir.e.s pour la liberté (Black Freedom Struggle), la « sœur esthétique et spirituelle » du mouvement Black Power s’inscrivit pourtant de façon puissante dans la longue histoire du militantisme noir aux États-Unis. Chicago, l’une des villes les plus ségréguées du Nord du pays, tint en outre une place particulière dans le mouvement et dans la construction de sa philosophie du nationalisme culturel. Au-delà du fait que ce fut la ville du BAM où le plus de genres artistiques furent représentés (arts visuels, littérature, théâtre, musique, danse), la « ville des vents » fut également celle où les organisations du mouvement perdurèrent le plus longtemps — plusieurs existent encore aujourd’hui. L’un des objectifs de cette thèse est donc de tenter de comprendre les raisons de cette résilience, en étudiant notamment la politique de l’espace propre aux réalisations du BAM à Chicago ainsi que les ponts générationnels forts qui se construisirent au sein et autour du mouvement. L’originalité de ce travail consiste également en sa mise en exergue des questions de genre, cruciales à toute compréhension profonde du BAM et pourtant encore largement minimisées. Souvent décrit comme sexiste et hétérosexiste, le Black Arts Movement fut en fait bien plus complexe que certain.e.s aimeraient le croire. Les femmes artistes noires de Chicago y jouèrent notamment des rôles organisationnels clés et elles contribuèrent à faire reculer la misogynie de nombreux de leurs homologues masculins. Elles articulèrent par ailleurs leurs propres mises en pratique de l’autodéfinition chère au BAM et luttèrent contre les stéréotypes avilissants dans lesquels on essayait souvent de les faire rentrer. En affirmant leur droit à la complexité et en s’inscrivant dans une longue lignée de foremothers, les écrivaines et artistes du BAM participèrent ainsi à la création d’une « pensée féministe noire ». Cette étude s’applique in fine à montrer que le BAM, comme les individus en son sein, ne peut s’appréhender de façon linéaire et étroite puisqu’il fut multidimensionnel et continue d’échapper à toute définition monolithiqueThis dissertation focuses on the Black Arts Movement (BAM) in 1960s and 1970s Chicago. The “aesthetic and spiritual sister” of the Black Power Movement has been largely understudied in the historiography of the Black Freedom Struggle, yet it is thoroughly woven into the long history of African American activism in the United States. As one of the most segregated cities of the American North, Chicago held a unique place in the movement and in its fashioning of cultural nationalism. Not only was it the city where the BAM took the greatest variety of artistic forms (visual arts, literature, theatre, music, dance) but the movement in the “Windy City” also produced some its most perennial organisations, several of them still being active today. This study partly aims at shedding the light on the reasons behind this resilience by emphasizing the specific twofold spatial politics of the BAM in Chicago as well as the many intergenerational exchanges having occurred both within and around the movement. Besides, this work’s originality lies in its articulation of the complex gender issues at stake in the Black Arts Movement, which have repeatedly been played down in spite of being crucial to any thorough understanding of the movement. While it has often been described as sexist and heterosexist, the BAM was actually much more complex than some might think. For instance, Chicago’s Black women artists had key organizational roles and they largely contributed to resisting the misogyny of many of their male counterparts. They articulated their own implementations of the BAM’s emphasis on self-definition and fought the demeaning stereotypes that were often imposed on them. As they asserted their right to complexity and called on a lineage of foremothers, BAM women writers and artists helped forge the “black feminist thought.” This study eventually endeavours to complicate any linear and narrow understanding of the Black Arts Movement and the individuals in its midst, for the movement was multifaceted and continues to escape any monolithic definition

Full textAbstract:
M.A.The main aim of the research was to make the book of Revelation, often considered as a marginal book within the context of the Christian Bible, more accessible for contemporary readers. The study's first focus is on the contextualization of the creation of this book. The most accepted time frame in which this text was written is around 95-96 AD. The social-historical context in those years was investigated and possible crisis and conflict elements identified. Hypotheses about authorship was developed concluding that Revelation was probably written by a Jew who was part of an itinerant group which was viewed as apocalyptic prophets. The structure of the book of Revelation was investigated, as it is essential for the analysis of the contents. It was found that scholarship has not yet reach consensus of the book of Revelation. Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza nonetheless found general approval among scholars and thus was this chiastic surface structure applied on the book of Revelation. Other models of interpretation were investigated as well as key terminology. The focus then moved to feminist theology. It's origins, key terminology, important contributors and its contributions in the world were investigated. A couple of the new feminist hermeneutical and exegetical models that have been developed during the last decade were research concentrating especially on the twelve tenets developed from the notion of Denise Carmody's pillars of feminist theology. Revelation is interpreted by using these twelve tenets namely the quest for truth, meaning, justice, equality, love, hope, beauty, identity, empowerment, unity, happiness/fulfilment and freedom. Finally, this analysis is briefly evaluated in order to establish if the main aims namely: to arrive at a fresh interpretation of Revelation, making the book of Revelation more accessible to its readers, evaluating the book's relevance for today and developing the means to lead more believers or other readers from fear to freedom, was accomplished. The study concluded that this method had the potential to contribute towards a fresh interpretation of the apocalypse, and the identification of a meaningful message in the narrative. However, using this method exclusively in the exegetical analysis of the book of Revelation, tended to narrow the focus down to only a limited aspect of this rich and varied text. The findings of this research project suggested that, with further refinement, the Carmody-derived research process could fruitfully be used in conjunction with other feminist hermeneutical and exegetical models. Integrated in this manner, it has the potential to contribute towards a change in interpretive perspective and practice.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses our lived experience of speech online to analyse the most common justification for freedom of speech: the "marketplace of ideas" metaphor. It opens with an account of a conversation in the feminist blogosphere that explicitly addressed the operation of social power in discussion. The lessons of that conversation is compared to accounts of the marketplace of ideas metaphor offered by theorists like Sunstein, Fiss, and Boyd White, as well as more internet-oriented theorists like Lessig, Benkler and Balkin. From that, and building on the insights of critics like Fraser and Mansbridge, the thesis argues that we ought to reject the "liberal-economic" paradigm of the function of speech and deliberation in a democracy, and proposes that we replace the "marketplace of ideas" metaphor with that of a "critical democratic culture." The thesis concludes by illustrating the usefulness of that new metaphor through the example of hate speech.

The South African concept of freedom of testation is one of the most absolute concepts of freedom of testation in westernised legal systems. It is suggested that the South African concept of freedom of testation is a memento of capitalist patriarchy. As the South African legal system practices a nearly absolute concept of freedom of testation, capitalist patriarchy has maintained masculine control of property in South Africa and perpetuated the systems of male dominance prevalent in South Africa. Freedom of testation allows for wealth to pass from one male to another. It also allows entrenched gender roles to continue by excluding women from inheriting. Thus the South African law of testate succession and its central concept of freedom of testation allows for discrimination on the ground of gender.Jurisprudence

Text in French; abstract in French and EnglishObservatrice des réalités quotidiennes camerounaises, Calixthe Beyala a publié, en 1987, un roman intitulé C’est le soleil qui m’a brûlée. Dans ce roman, elle montre au lecteur comment la femme, victime de la tradition, utilise, avec l’apport de la modernité, son corps comme moyen pour reconquérir son moi profond, et retrouver sa liberté. En 1994, elle a écrit et publié Assѐze, l’Africaine. Et en 2003, elle a publié Femme nue, femme noire. Après une lecture minutieuse de ces trois livres, le lecteur peut facilement découvrir que Calixthe Beyala place la femme au centre de sa préoccupation littéraire. Et elle examine, dans sa fiction, deux thѐmes: la tradition et la modernité. Qu’entend-elle par tradition et modernité? Comment examine-t-elle ces deux thѐmes dans les ouvrages de notre corpus? Quelles solutions propose-t-elle à la femme, d’une part, pour se libérer du joug de la tradition et de la domination masculine, et d’autre part, pour (re)conquérir son corps, son moi profond et pour son émancipation?
Observer of the daily Cameroonian realities, Calixthe Beyala published, in 1987, a novel entitled C’est le soleil qui m’a brûlée. In this novel, she shows the reader how a woman, victim of tradition, uses her body as means to reconquer herself and to find her freedom. In 1994, she wrote and published Assèze, l’Africane. And in 2003, she published Femme nue, femme noire. After a careful reading of the three novels, the reader can easily discover that Calixthe Beyala places woman in the center of her literary preoccupation. And she examines, in her fiction, two themes, tradition and modernity. What does she mean by tradition and modernity? How does she examine these two themes in the novels of our study? What solutions does she propose to the woman, firstly, to liberate herself from the yoke of tradition and male’s domination, and secondly, to reconquer her body, herself and her emancipation?

Full textAbstract:
Modalities of Freedom argues that comedy and the laughter it ignites is a vital component of feminist and anti-racist community building. The chapters of my dissertation analyze the work of three Black standup comedians from the United States: Wanda Sykes, Jackie Mabley and Mo’Nique. These three women have an outsized presence in standup comedy, but have been chronically underrepresented in academic literature despite their nuanced, complex and emboldening performance styles. I claim that their particular brands of humor are modalities of freedom. That is, under varying social, temporal and cultural contexts, Sykes, Mabley and Mo’Nique resist and expose marginalization and oppression. In turn, their comedic material and the act of laughter bond their audiences and generate anti-racist/feminist coalitions. The first chapter of my dissertation shows how Wanda Sykes employs comedic performance to “crack up” white supremacist historical narratives. That is, Sykes’ comedy functions as historiographical intervention that not only critiques history, but also moves Black lesbian women from silenced subjects to active (re)creators of United States’ collective memory. My chapter on Jackie “Moms” Mabley claims that Mabley’s legacy has been misremembered in both mainstream and scholarly texts. Employing Black queer theoretical frameworks, I trace how Mabley’s standup solidified important precedents for Black female comics in contemporary U.S. performance and generated specific modalities of freedom unique to Black feminist humor. The final chapter of my dissertation analyzes Mo’Nique’s 2007 documentary I Coulda Been Your Cellmate. This film is a live taping of Mo’Nique performing for convicts at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. Mo’Nique’s performance articulates the multiplicities of identity, and builds feminist community across difference. Mo’Nique and the women in the audience demonstrate how laughter is an intimate survival strategy and a freeing act even while under the restriction of state power. In short, my dissertation is an effort to validate how laughter can harness and express the complexities of Black feminist lives, and be a productive site for social change and stability.text
