Abstract:
This study uses the relational content analysis method and theories of intertextuality, intersectionality, and womanism to explore the continuity of womanist ethos in select novels of the African-American novelist Alice Walker. It attempts to explore Walker’s use of womanism as an intertextual trope in The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970), Meridian (1976), The Color Purple (1982), The Temple of My Familiar (1989) and Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992); Walker’s portrayal of Celie-Shug as a perfect womanist couple in Color Purple and their reappearance in Temple as mother trees; foremothers as role models in Third Life and Temple; Walker’s telling and retelling of Tashi’s life-long suffering from female genital mutilation (FGM) in Color Purple, Temple, and Possessing – the subject of this paper.

Abstract:
Over the years, African ‘feminist’ scholars have expressed reservations about embracing feminism as an analytical framework for theorizing issues that affect African women. This is particularly because in many African societies, feminism has been perceived as a negative influence that seeks to tear the cultural fabric and value systems of African communities. Some scholars such as Clenora Hudson-Weems, Chikenje Ogunyemi, Tiamoyo Karenga and Chimbuko Tembo contend that feminism as developed by Western scholars is incapable of addressing context-specific concerns of African women. As a result, they developed womanism as an alternative framework for analysing the realities of women in African cultures. Womanism is premised on the view that African women need an Afrocentric theory that can adequately deal with their specific struggles. Drawing from ideas that have been developed by womanist scholars, this article critically interrogates the portrayal of women in Cynthia Jele’s Happiness is a four-letter word (2010), with particular focus on the choices that they make in love relationships, marriage and motherhood. My argument is that Jele’s text affirms the womanist view that African women exist within a specific cultural context that shapes their needs, aspirations and choices in a different way.

Abstract:
For the purpose of this paper lower-case-f feminism is used as the umbrella term for the organized activity in support of women's rights and interests founded in the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Hegemonic Feminism, aka Radical Feminism, has historically left out women who face issues alongside oppression based on gender, namely women of colour. Capital-F Feminism represents this hegemonic Feminism. Alice Walker’s womanism creates a type of feminism specifically for black women and women of colour. In this paper I explore and contrast three different types of feminism, hegemonic “Feminism” and “womanism”, to show how Toni Morrison’s first and last novels The Bluest Eye and Home are definitely womanist texts but are not necessarily considered feminist under the constraints of hegemonic Feminism. I look at the differences between the three terms to show how these novels can and do slip through the cracks and are not labeled as “feminist” texts because they do not comply with “Feminism.” Through plot and character examples I show how these novels are womanist, and because of that they are not able to be considered examples of Feminist texts and are therefore not regarded as canonical Feminist literature, though they do exemplify feminist principles, themes and ideals.

Abstract:
In this article we examine the notion of womanism as portrayed in the 2016 novel Crépuscule du tourment: Mélancolie ( Twilight of Torment: Melancholy ) by the Franco-Cameroonian author Léonora Miano . We explore how four female characters are subjected to discrimination on various levels: racial, sexist, and even linked to social divisions. We furthermore trace the religious, historical, cultural and sexual aspects of the identity crisis that each character undergoes. The tales by these four voices depicting their suffering and different defence strategies finally point to the womanism of the author herself which this article aims to discuss drawing on a range of definitions provided by scholars such as bell hooks, Molara Ogundipe-Leslie and Alice Walker. Our reading of the novel focusses on the mechanisms of resistance (exploration of homosexual relations, recourse to afrocentricity) deployed by these female characters in an environment where neither Western feminism nor activism seem to respond to the complexity of their alienation. Miano’s heroines attempt to reconstruct their identities in terms of culture, territory, the other and the “self”. Their revolt and courage to speak out constitute acts of self-determination. This emancipatory quest leads to a form of hybridity that embraces both modernity and traditional values, with its myths and customs, and which results in a reconstructed and plural identity. It also constitutes an approach by an African author that embraces both a return to the self and an openness to the outside world.

Abstract:
Diversity management continues to be a subject of importance in organizations of all types. Therefore, the purpose of our research was to explore the experiences of oppression for Black mothers at work with the goal of providing managers and Black mothers a means of addressing workplace oppression. We conducted qualitative interviews with Black mothers about their experiences of workplace oppression, and then we conducted an interdisciplinary literature review of Womanism in the Black Church around the subject of oppression, as well as the concepts of workplace oppression and anti-oppressive practice. By tracing both contemplative and anti-oppressive practices, we are highlighting the legacy of Black women as architects for inspiring change. We built our Contemplative AntiOppressive Practice (CAOP) framework in light of our findings. While contemplative practice and anti-oppressive practice have been explored separately in management literature, they have yet to be explored in combination as a possible framework to dismantle oppression. We offer this framework as an approach for managers and employees to enable them to address both the inner and outer work that needs to be done in order to dismantle workplace oppression.

Abstract:
This article aims to study the condition of African women in Une vie hypothéquée by Anne-Marie Adiaffi. In a predominantly patriarchal Ivorian society, this Francophone African novelist highlights certain alienating practices that subjugate African women, especially forced marriage and widowhood in Ivorian and African society. Given the above, the researcher wonders why the condition of African women is in a state of exploitation, oppression and overwhelming violence. What are the solutions to stop these problems? To effectively carry out the study, the researcher adopts the African womanism theory. The study recommends that the sensitization and formal education of African women is the key to their development and emancipation in society.

Abstract:
Border-Crossing Travels Across Literary Worlds is an autocritographical journey that places a group of U.S. literary texts into critically conscious dialogue with the “text” of my life. As a white, American, middle-class, cishetero, able-bodied man, I historicize, contextualize, analyze, and deconstruct the process by which my ten years of graduate academic studies at the University of South Florida fostered my ongoing awakening to critical consciousness—the personal and political evolution Paolo Freire terms “conscientization.” I present the analytical insights I realized about landmark feminist and womanist texts I encountered during my graduate studies that resonate with the prominent literary works and events from my youth. By identifying personal contexts and identity-aware frameworks for how I read these influential texts in my past, I give concrete examples of how hegemonic systems of gender, race, class, sexuality, and ability operate within such writing. I also demonstrate how utilizing feminist and womanist theoretical lenses allows a scholar to re-vision and recover problematic texts. Across all my autocritographical travels, I imagine my own life experiences, as well as the positionality of my selected texts’ protagonists, in terms of the archetype of the shaman—a liminal, border-crossing person who walks between worlds to function in the capacity as a messenger, intermediary, and balance-bringing healer.

The present dissertation analyses the translation of womanism in The Color Purple (1982), by Alice Walker, into its homonymous film adaptation in 1985, directed by Steven Spielberg. The term womanism, although it also refers to the black feminism, relates to a movement that transcends the social aspect; it is, therefore, a spiritual movement, committed to the survival and welfare of all people, independent on race, sex, religion, among others. The novel The Color Purple tells Celie’s story, a semi-illiterate black teenager who writes letters to God, telling situations about her life. Through friendship with other women and, consequently, the discovery of new ways of being and feeling, the character tries to overcome the trauma caused by the separation of her sister and her children, and the physical and psychological rapes she had suffered. In this research, we investigate, specifically, the rewriting of four female characters – Celie, Nettie, Sofia and Shug – since we perceive them as the main representative of womanism in the novel. Our hypothesis is that some womanist aspects, such as religion and homosexuality, were softened in the translation, due to contextual issues, whereas others were emphasized because they were adapted into both the poetics of the cinema of the 80’s, and of the director. As theoretical background, we take Even-Zohar’s postulates (1990), about the polysystem theory, and Toury’s assumptions (2012), which understand the studies of translation emphasizing the cultural factor, and considering the influence that the target culture has on the translation process. We also take Lefevere’s concept of rewriting (2007), which emphasizes the historical and cultural nature of the translated texts. Concerning the translation of literary works into the cinema, we use the studies by Cattrysse (1992), and the considerations of authors, such as Stam (2008; 2011) and Hutcheon (2013), who discuss the relationship between the two language systems. Finally, about womanism, the reflections by Maparyan (2012) and Walker (1983) are critical in conducting the analysis. The results showed that the strategies of softening and emphasis on the translation of the female characters’ womanist traits concern the translators’ poetic, as well as the specificities of the cinematic system. Therefore, in the adaptation, they reflect much more the poetics of Hollywood cinema of the 80’s, and of the director, than the womanism observed in the literary work.
A presente dissertação analisa a tradução do “womanismo” em The Color Purple (1982), da escritora Alice Walker, para o filme homônimo de 1985, dirigido por Steven Spielberg. O termo womanism, embora se refira também ao feminismo negro, diz respeito a um movimento que transcende o social; ele é, portanto, um movimento espiritual, comprometido com a sobrevivência e o bem-estar de todas as pessoas, independente de raça, sexo, religião, entre outros aspectos. O romance The Color Purple narra a história de Celie, uma adolescente negra semiletrada, que escreve cartas a Deus, contando sobre sua vida. Por meio da amizade com outras mulheres e, consequentemente, da descoberta de novas formas de ser e sentir, a personagem tenta superar os traumas causados pela separação da irmã e de seus filhos e pelos estupros físicos e psicológicos que sofreu. Nesta pesquisa, investigamos, especificamente, a reescritura de quatro personagens femininas – Celie, Nettie, Sofia e Shug – uma vez que as percebemos como as principais representantes do “womanismo” no romance. Partimos da hipótese de que alguns aspectos “womanistas”, tais como religião e homossexualidade, foram suavizados na tradução, devido a questões contextuais, enquanto outros foram enfatizados porque se adequavam à poética, tanto do diretor, quanto do cinema da década de oitenta. Como fundamentação teórica, recorremos aos postulados de Even-Zohar (1990), sobre a teoria dos polissistemas, e aos pressupostos de Toury (2012), que entendem os estudos da tradução com ênfase no fator cultural, considerando a influência que a cultura de chegada exerce sobre o processo tradutório. Baseamo-nos também no conceito de reescritura, de Lefevere (2007), que enfatiza o caráter histórico e cultural dos textos traduzidos. Sobre as questões de tradução de obras literárias para o cinema, empregamos os estudos de Cattrysse (1992), e as considerações de autores, tais como Stam (2008; 2011) e Hutcheon (2013), que discutem sobre a relação entre os dois sistemas de linguagem. Por fim, no que se refere ao “womanismo”, as reflexões de Maparyan (2012), bem como da própria Walker (1983) são fundamentais na condução da análise. Os resultados mostraram que as estratégias de suavização e ênfase na tradução dos traços “womanistas” das personagens femininas dizem respeito à poética dos tradutores, bem como às especificidades do sistema cinematográfico. Por isso, na adaptação, elas refletem muito mais a poética do diretor e do cinema hollywoodiano dos anos oitenta, do que o “womanismo” observado na obra literária.

Full text
Abstract:
In my thesis, I examine Aminata Sow Fall's sixth novel Douceurs du bercail "The Sweetness of Home" through three lenses: race, gender, and nature. I analyze the way Sow Fall approaches each of these three areas in terms of paradox to emphasize her understanding of the complexity of these issues and her reluctance to outline them rigidly. Instead of putting forth hard opinions about how race, gender, or nature should be understood, Sow Fall exhibits a propensity to allow each area to remain complicated. I study why she allows racial, gendered, and environmental paradoxes to circulate around one another in her text rather than attempting to resolve them, concluding that she uses this strategy both as an organizing principle and as an invitation to her readers to question the extant theories surrounding these three issues. Sow Fall's use of language in all three areas signals an underlying fascination with the paradoxes inherent in each. In the chapter on race, I discuss the contrasting narrative styles Sow Fall uses to describe European airport officials versus the protagonist Asta's best friend, a French woman named Anne. Sow Fall's language is significant here because she contrasts two white Europeans, one characterized as systematic and cold, the other warm and open, respectively. I also discuss the way Sow Fall uses an informal and lethargic narrative voice to characterize a black secretary living in Senegal, further highlighting the disconnect between the two racial groups. In the chapter on feminism, I discuss a shift in Asta's language as she becomes more assertive. I also analyze the various aspects of femininity in Douceurs du bercail which have led some scholars to carry out feminist readings of the text, such as Asta's decision to leave her domineering and abusive husband, but recognize the more traditional aspects of the novel, such as Asta's marriage to Babou at Naatangué, as problematic to a purely feminist reading of the text. In the chapter on nature, I study Sow Fall's problematic use of Westernized language to describe the development of the untouched land of Naatangué into a lucrative farm. Throughout the chapters, I interpret Naatangué as the ultimate paradoxical space which is at once wrought with complicated language and conflicting ideals yet acts as a quasi-paradise where Asta and her friends balance the conflicting forces of tradition and modernity. Naatangué also acts as an organizing principle where all three areas of my study intersect.

Hami, Iman. "Alice Walker's womanist fiction : tensions and reconciliations." Thesis, University of Essex, 2016. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/16683/.

Full text
Abstract:
A theory formulated by Alice Walker, womanism focuses on the unification of men and women with Nature and Earth. This thesis explores womanism with regards to its specific concerns with African American women’s rights, identities, and self-actualisation, and points towards its more overarching concerns with human relations and sexual freedom, as expressed in each of Walker’s seven novels. The seven novels discussed in the thesis are The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970), Meridian (1976), The Color Purple (1982), The Temple of My Familiar (1989), Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992), By the Light of My Father’s Smile (1998), and Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart (2004). Although Walker introduces the term “womanism” in 1983, this thesis traces the development of the concept across her canon of fictional works. By analysing the novels written in the 1970s, I establish how the term came to be coined, and, by seeing through themes and issues addressed early on and how they can be mapped through analysis of her later works, I demonstrate how womanism went on to be further developed and complexly wrought. This thesis thus examines how Alice Walker’s own theory of womanism is reflected through the oeuvre of her fictional works, and considers where tensions arise in her application of what is intended to be a universalist, humanist, project. For, in many of her novels, it is women’s sexuality and sexual power that are the focus, often at the cost of developing the potential of male characters’ equivalent attributes. However, as will be argued, it is in Walker’s later, less appreciated, works that womanism is more fully developed in its universal claims. The integration of spiritual themes and concepts into her narratives reduce or remove the tensions that arise in the reconciliation between woman and man, as well as between humanity and nature.

Full text
Abstract:
Courtly love lyrics, like other courtly genres, are dominated by male-voiced texts that privilege male perspectives. In conventional courtly love lyrics, women are silenced and objectified by the male speaker. Still, a handful of women-voiced lyrics--"women's songs"--exist in the courtly love lyrical tradition. This thesis studies women's songs in Middle English and their role in the androcentric courtly love tradition.
In the first chapter, I discuss critical perspectives on conventional courtly representations of women. In the second chapter, I locate Middle English women's songs in literary contexts other than courtly love: the Middle English lyrical tradition, the cross-cultural phenomenon of medieval women's songs, and the manuscript contexts of Middle English women's songs. In Chapter Three, I discuss the individual songs themselves and examine the range of perspectives found in woman-voiced lyrics.
My discussion of Middle English women's songs includes texts not previously admitted to the genre. This expanded collection of women's songs creates an alternative courtly discourse privileging female perspectives. Middle English women's songs create a space for women's voices in courtly love.

Abstract:
Introduction: The diagnosis of breast cancer in pregnant and postpartum women presents challenges. The clinical management of the breasts during pregnancy and lactation requires knowledge of the physiological changes of the pregnant breast, as well as the correct identification and approach to possible changes. The reluctance of physicians and patients to perform radiographic tests and invasive procedures during this period should be discussed. Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that all breast lesions found in these periods should be carefully evaluated, highlighting the importance of diagnostic evaluation methods, comparing the advantages, disadvantages, and possible false-negative factors of the methods frequently used in clinical practice. Methods: This is a literature review, which uses references found in scientific books on gynecology, obstetrics, and mastology, in addition to the use of the databases Medline, BVS, PubMed, UpToDate, and LILACS, applying to originals and literature reviews written in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Results: The analysis of diagnostic methods in the context of breast cancer is associated with pregnancy, such as selfexamination, anamnesis and clinical examination, ultrasonography, mammography, evaluation by core biopsy, evaluation by cytology, and evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging, presented as a result of limitations not found in nonpregnant women. The bibliographic study points to the need for individualized monitoring, analysis, and application, taking into consideration a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer during her pregnancy and physiological and morphological changes in the breast. Conclusion: Early diagnosis is not common during pregnancy; consequently, more advanced stages are associated with breast cancer simultaneously to gestation. Therefore, even in pregnancy, any suspicion of breast lesion must undergo evaluation. Pregnant and postpartum women should have clinical breast examinations as a routine, making patients and health staff aware of their importance in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Advice about the self-examination, request for ultrasound, mammography, and biopsy is necessary.

Abstract:
The gestational period promotes changes in the woman's body, so that the baby can develop in a healthy way in the uterus. These transformations can interfere in a woman's daily life. Physiotherapy promotes re-education of the abdominal muscles, analgesia in the perineum region, restoration of gastrointestinal function, in addition to helping them with psychological changes. To verify the benefits of physiotherapy in the puerperium. A non-systematic review of the literature was carried out, through randomized clinical trials, published between 1999 and 2018. The search involved the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS and PEDro. The following keywords were used: postpartum physiotherapy. 6 RCTs were included. There was a significant decrease in pain in the treatment group in four studies, increase in strength of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and decrease in urinary incontinence in two studies, but 3 postpartum women presented voiding symptoms; in another study, there was a decrease in the score related to anal incontinence; in another study, immediate physiotherapy after delivery reduced abdominal diastasis. Postpartum physiotherapy, through an exercise program, contributes to pain reduction, increase in pelvic floor strength, decrease in urinary incontinence, anal incontinence and abdominal diastasis.

Abstract:
Objectives: Mastectomy is the most effective form of treatment in cases of breast cancer, promoting biopsychosocial consequences to patients. Thus, the objective is to integrate and analyze data from studies carried out, highlighting the positive impact of breast reconstruction based on the available medical literature, contributing to a better understanding of the importance of such a procedure to improve the quality of the services provided. Methodology: This is a descriptive research based on a review of the medical literature available through a survey of publications from the past 12 years in the PubMed, Lilacs, and MedLine databases. The following descriptors were used: “reconstruction” AND “mammary” AND “benefits”. Results: It was noted that women who underwent breast reconstruction had a high level of satisfaction with the quality of life in the psychological and social relations domains. Most of them have a medium to a very high degree of satisfaction, suggesting that the postoperative functional adaptation was not negatively affected by the additional anatomical changes imposed by breast reconstruction. There are also benefits in the sexual life of these patients, who find a degree of satisfaction between good and excellent. In the literature, there are reports of better social interaction, job satisfaction, higher levels of satisfaction, and lower incidence of depression among women who underwent immediate reconstruction after 1 year of surgery. However, such benefits do not seem to be universally found when women undergoing immediate reconstruction are compared with those treated conservatively, with quadrantectomies or lumpectomies. Conclusion: Breast reconstruction, in addition to being a right under Law 12.802, is a procedure that reduces the sensation of mutilation and alleviates the absence of the breast. Therefore, when indicated procedures, such as prostheses, tissue expansion or flaps, after mastectomy, reinforce the woman’s self-esteem because the breast is understood in society as a fundamental characteristic for femininity.
