Abstract:

Abstract This article measures and evaluates the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten’s coverage of the extensive use of sexual violence during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, with a particular focus on sexual violence against men. According to an extensive report written by a UN Commission of Experts, the use of sexual violence against men as well as women was widespread and took place on all sides of the conflict. Yet what we heard about sexual violence in the media concerned women victims almost exclusively. The purpose of this study is to analyse the coverage with respect to gender from a feminist, critical constructivist perspective. The present argument is that the coverage of male victims is insufficient. According to the framework, this involves several constraints related to the power of dominant masculinity constructs and the social stigma attached to sexual violence, as well as some poor journalism, or lack of knowledge on the part of journalists.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the representations of male and female social actors within the subversive gendered discourse of “equal opportunities for men and women” in Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) textbooks. Design/methodology/approach From the methodological perspective, this study fused van Leeuwen’s (2003) “Social Actor Network Model” and Sunderland’s (2004) “Gendered Discourses Model”. Findings Data obtained from this study showed the subversive gendered discourse of “equal opportunities” was supported through such representations within a narrow perspective in line with dominant gender ideologies in Iran. The findings suggest the resistance against such subversive gendered discourse in Iranian EFL textbooks underpins gender norms and religious ideologies existing in Iran. Originality/value Such representations of male and female social actors in school textbooks show inclusive education and the discourse of “equal opportunities” have yet to be realised in education system of many countries, including Iran.

Abstract:

This essay examines the life and work of early socialist thinker Anna Doyle Wheeler, who, with the Owenite theorist William Thompson, was author of The Appeal of One Half the Human Race, Women, Against the Pretentions of the Other Half, Men … (1825). In analyzing her thought, I employ a typological model for the development of a feminist consciousness proposed by Michèle Riot-Sarcey and Eleni Varikas (1986). These authors posit three types of a feminist “pariah” consciousness: 1) exceptional woman feminism 2) subversive feminism, and 3) collective feminism. Within this framework Anna Wheeler falls between positions one and two; she was an exceptional or token woman who nevertheless advocated subversive feminist doctrines of radical change, including calls for collective female action (in which she nonetheless did not participate). The essay ends with a discussion of Wheeler's relationship to William Thompson as example of woman's traditional access to philosophy, that is, through a male mentor.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper, historical analysis and qualitative fieldwork are combined to question the belief that recent efforts in Kerala to induct women into local governance and mobilize poor women into self-help groups implies continuity with the earlier history of women's mobility into the spaces of paid work and politics. For a longer view, the histories of gender-coding of spaces and of women's mobility into paid work and politics are examined. In the twentieth century, while the subversive potential of paid work was contained through casting it within ‘feminine terms’, politics was unquestionably ‘unfeminine space’. However, recent efforts have not advanced women's mobility in any simple sense. The subversive potential of women's mobility towards work in self-help groups is still limited. In local governance, unlike the experience of an earlier generation of women, the ability to conform to norms of elite femininity now appears to be a valuable resource.

Abstract:

It is rightly put by the French philosopher Simone De Beauvoir in her book ‘Second Sex’ that “one is not born but made a woman”. So, women are treated secondary as compared to men for a long time. Similar view has been propounded by Judith Butler in her book ‘Gender Trouble’ that female identity has been created by repetitive performances and further, gender identity is not fixed rather it is created. There are certain agencies through which these ideologies came in to function. One of such agencies is “space” which is not necessarily physical and fixed but can be mental/psychological and fluid. This space can also use as subversive technique to control certain part of the society. This paper tries to analyze a Nepali fiction ‘Mountains Painted with Turmeric’ by Lil Bahadur Chettri to understand the subversive practices of space and how it controls gender identity.

Full text

Abstract:

The intention of this thesis is to identify and analyze the cat woman archetype as a contemporary extension of the transgressive witch archetype, which rampantly appears over the course of cinema history, working as a signifier of a patriarchal society's fear of autonomous and subversive women. The character of Catwoman is the ultimate representation for this archetype on grounds of her visibility, longevity, and ability to return again and again. More importantly, Catwoman and her sisterhood of cat women work against male creators as a means of female empowerment through trickery. Within this thesis, key films of varying genres are drawn from throughout cinema history and analyzed in order to demonstrate the intertextual network of characters that make up the cat woman archetype, and the importance of the Catwoman character in her many forms.

Abstract:

Les débats sur la spécificité ou non d’une écriture féminine à caractère sexuée, l’investissement exponentiel des femmes dans le champ littéraire de ces dernières décennies dans des thématiques variées et des discours transgressif et subversif, justifient notre intérêt pour l’analyse du discours de femmes dans la fiction littéraire contemporaine. En littérature comme dans d’autres disciplines, les discours des femmes sont presque toujours en conflit entre le besoin de dire les hiérarchies sociales, et celui de revendiquer une légitimité universelle. Aussi, à travers une analyse immanente et structurelle des textes qui constituent notre corpus à savoir : Riwan ou le chemin de sable (Ken Bugul,), Les vaisseaux du coeur (Benoîte Groult), L’empreinte de l’ange (Nancy Huston), La Joueuse de go (Shan Sa), ce travail de recherche s’interroge sur la spécificité du discours de ces femmes et la valeur de l’autofiction associé à ces discours. En nous servant des méthodes de l’analyse du discours et des Women Studies, cette thèse se donne de lire les thématiques, le contour des stratégies discursives des femmes, ce qu’elles disent d’elles et du monde qui relèvent ou non de l’influence féministe afin d’en dévoiler la performativité<br>The debates on the specificity or not of a feminine gendered writing. The exponential investment of women in the literary field of these recent decades, in various themes, justify our interest of discourse analysis of women in contemporary literary fiction. In literature as in other discipline, the women’s discourses are mostly in conflict between the need to say social hierarchies of genders and to claim universal legitimacy. Also, through an immanent and structural analysis of the texts that constitute our corpus: Riwan ou le chemin de sable (Ken Bugul,), Les vaisseaux du coeur (Benoîte Groult), L’Empreinte de l’ange (Nancy Huston), La Joueuse de go (Shan Sa). This research is about the specificity of these women discourses, and the autofiction value associated with these discourses. Thoroughly using the methods of Discourse Analysis and Women Studies, this thesis aims to read themes, the outline of women's discursive strategies, what they say about them and the world that is or not influenced by feminism and then reveals the performativity of their discourse

Abstract:

Esta tesis examina el tema del deseo femenino en la obra de cuatro autoras poco conocidas de finales del siglo XVIII. Los textos primarios son Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph (1761) de Frances Sheridan, The History of Lady Julia Mandeville (1763) de Frances Brooke, The Delicate Distress (1769) de Elizabeth Griffith y The Recess (1783) de Sophia Lee. El objetivo principal de mi tesis es determinar el discurso de deseo producido por las autoras que he seleccionado. La cuestión de la tesis tiene como objetivo la detección del alcance del nivel de resistencia a la marcada configuración de la mujer “correcta” que puede observarse en la obra de estas autoras y, especialmente, el propósito de esa resistencia. La tesis también propone que estas autoras representan personajes femeninos aparentemente convencionales que logran conseguir un dominio considerable sobre ellas mismas. Uno de los aspectos analizados en esta tesis es la noción de la virtud femenina en apuros, introducida por Samuel Richardson y continuada por otros novelistas, Frances Sheridan incluida. La ficción amorosa es otra tradición considerada, lo cual crea una dinámica complicada en la que el rol que la mujer juega en la seducción es examinado. Esta tesis pone en duda suposiciones generales sobre la vida familiar (y sus implicaciones para la mujer). Mediante un minucioso análisis de la figura de la ‘heroína’, se examinan las representaciones culturales y sociales de la mujer y los elementos perturbadores inherentes en la figura de la mujer fatal. Tradiciones literarias con gran prevalencia, como la ficción histórica y el Gótico Femenino, también son consideradas. Algunos elementos del psicoanálisis, pertenecientes a figuras destacadas como Freud y Julia Kristeva, son utilizadas para determinar las maneras en las que el psicoanálisis puede ser usado para acceder textos literarios. Otra tradición importante bajo análisis es la ausencia materna, la cual es usada para detectar los efectos que este aspecto literario tiene sobre la narrativa.<br>This thesis examines the topic of female desire in the work of four lesser-known late eighteenth century women writers. The texts under analysis are Frances Sheridan’s Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph (1761), Frances Brooke’s The History of Lady Julia Mandeville (1763), Elizabeth Griffith’s The Delicate Distress (1769) and Sophia Lee’s The Recess (1783). The main objective of my thesis is to determine the discourse of desire produced by the authors I have selected. My thesis question aims at detecting the extent to which these women writers resist the strict configuration of the ‘proper’ woman and, especially, the purpose that lies behind that resistance. It also aims to propose that those women writers depict apparently conventional female characters who achieve a significant amount of self-command. One of the aspects analysed in this thesis is female virtue in distress, introduced by Samuel Richardson and continued by later novelists, Frances Sheridan included, is examined. Amatory fiction is yet another significant tradition which is analysed, which creates a complicated dynamics in which the role women play in seduction is examined. The present thesis interrogates general assumptions about family life – and its implications for women – and also, most importantly, in its careful analysis of the figure of the ‘heroine, women’s cultural and social representations and the disruptive components inherent in femme fatale figures are carefully examined. Mainstream, powerful literary traditions such as Historical Fiction and the Female Gothic, are also considered. Some elements of psychoanalytical thought, such as Freud’s notion of the uncanny or Julia Kristeva’s notion of abjection, are used to determine the ways in which Psychoanalysis can be used to access literary texts. Maternal absence is yet another traditional trope which is analysed to detect the effects such influential and perpetual literary trope has on the narratives.

Abstract:

There are two branches of scholarship on Edith Wharton. One branch tends to focus upon a comparison of her novels with her life, and tends to document her work as that of a social historian and custodian of manners of old New York. The other branch, represented by feminist critics, uses a Marxist approach to read the thematics of Wharton's novels, and argues that her heroines are perched between the cusp of the "old" and the "new" woman. This study of Wharton extends and intertwines both these lines of scholarship to argue that Wharton's novels must be read against her life, and that the critical focus must be kept on her "new" woman, who, as the gendered speaking subject, speaks from the margins of cultural edifices. This study will focus on the idea of the splintered self, particularly the quandaries of the gendered self, an issue that shapes and determines the form of her narratives. This analysis shows that in the intersection of her fiction, her letters, and her autobiography, Wharton's gendered speaking subject enunciates a radical critique of the culture in which she lived.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter examines the Dublin production and critical reception of Christa Winsloe’s Children in Uniform, which ran to full houses at the Gate for three weeks in April 1934. The play, which deals with the love between a Prussian schoolgirl and her female teacher, had premiered in Leipzig (1930), run successfully in Berlin (1931), and been adapted for the screen as Mädchen in Uniform (1931) before it was translated into English for a successful London run in 1932-1933. Edwards and mac Liammóir probably saw the original German play in Berlin in 1931. Using the prompt copy, lighting plots, photographs and reviews, the chapter shows how Edwards used expressionistic lighting and sonic leitmotifs to underscore the authoritarian regime within which the relationship between the women develops. In following the Berlin staging, Edwards produced a more subversive version of the play than that seen by London audiences or cinema goers.
