- Description
- Collection of articles discussing gender, with examples of gender constructive processes within various contexts and by means of diverse methodologies. It addresses issues such as gender performativity, its variances depending on their historical, social and cultural contexts and the rituals, representations and institutions involved in gender performances. It demonstrates that it is impossible to consider gender as a fixed biological trait. The authors propose to look at gender performance as an ongoing process in which femininities and masculinities imply dynamic intersections with categories such as nationality, ethnicity, class, sexuality and age. With cases from South Africa, United States and Brazil.

- Description
- This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture reflects the increase in research on the topic of gender over the past thirty years, showing that even the most familiar subjects take on new significance when viewed through the lens of gender. The wide range of entries explores how people have experienced and used concepts of womanhood and manhood in all sorts of obvious and subtle ways. The volume features 113 articles, 65 of which are new for this edition. Thematic articles address subjects such as sexuality, respectability, and paternalism and look at the role of gender in broader subjects, including the civil rights movement, country music, and sports. Topical entries highlight individuals such as Oprah Winfrey and the Grimke sisters, as well as historical events such as the capture of Jefferson Davis in a woman's dress and the Memphis sanitation workers' strike, with its slogan, 'I AM A MAN.' Bringing together scholarship on gender and the body, sexuality, labor, race, and politics, this volume offers new ways to view big questions in southern history and culture.

- The final years of the twentieth century have produced new knowledge about women´s literacy. Building on and critiquing scholarship in literacy studies, composition studies, rhetorical theory, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and cultural studies, the contributors to this volume discuss what literacies are. Yet their strongest interest is in documenting and theorizing women´s lived experience of these literacies.They committed not just to telling stories or theorizing about them, but also to the women whose stories they report and analyze, including historical figures such as Louisa May Alcott, and Dorothy West: feminist writers of the sixties and seventies: or women in other parts of the world, such as those in Vietnam struggling with English and Japanese: or in South Africa dealing with the legacy of apartheid: or contemporary women in the mountains of North Carolina, the plains of Nebraska, and the cities of Tunisia: or old women in Korea finally telling stories of their sexual exploitation during World -War II.
