Gender and sexuality in muslim cultures
This book takes on fundamental questions at the intersections of gender, sexuality, and the body. Several questions frame the volume: How does studying gender and sexuality expand and enrich our understanding of Muslim-majority countries, historically and at present? How does the embodiment of ’Muslim’ identity get reconfigured in the context of twenty-first-century globalism? What analytical questions are raised about ’Islam’ when its diverse meanings and multifaceted expressions are closely examined? What roles do gender and sexuality play in the construction of cultural, religious, nationalistic, communal, and militaristic identities? How have power struggles been signified in and on the bodies of women and sexuality?- Creator

Bodies in flux
This volume contains current issues of embodiment and related aspects such as identity, gender, disability or sexuality, discussed on the basis of examples from contemporary culture and social life. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s concept of the cyborg as a transgressor of boundaries, the book examines fluidity of post-human bodies including cyber relations to others and to self and dis/utopian fantasies offered by literary texts.- Creator

Living concepts
This 40th yearbook volume discusses how both experienced and young academics operationalize concepts in gender research practices and what it means for them to 'do' gender history in 2021. With contributions of among others Geertje Mak, Halleh Ghorashi, Francisca de Haan, Berteke Waaldijk, Garjan Sterk, Saskia Bonjour and Annemarie Mol, the book shows how certain concepts such as body, intimacy, migration, intersectionality and masculinity travel within academic culture across the Low countries and find a home in individual research practices.- Creator

The female body in medicine and literature
This book demonstrates how fiction and medicine have a tradition of looking towards each other for inspiration in questions of gender. Medical textbooks and pamphlets have cited fictional plots and characterisations as a way of communicating complex or 'sensitive' ideas. Essays explore historical accounts of clinical procedures, the relationship between gynaecology and psychology, and cultural conceptions of motherhood, fertility, and the female organisation through a broad range of texts including Henry More's Pre-Existency of the Soul (1659), Charlotte Brontë's Villette (1855), and Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues (1998).- Creator

Exceptional bodies in early modern culture
This collection of essays explores how monstrosity challenged social, religious, sexual and natural structures and hierarchies in the period 1500-1750 and contributed to its knowledge, moral and emotional repertoire. Based on various medicinal and philosophical primary sources, exceptional bodies in the form of e.g. prodigious births, hermaphrodites, collections of extraordinary things, powerful women, disabilities, and shapeshifting phenomena are examined in a period before all varieties and differences became normalized to a homogenous standard.- Creator

Gender and race matter
Gender inequality persists in most countries. This collection highlights patterns of behaviour and gender relations and locates women at the centre of a dialogue and presents key interventions in gender and race matters. For the contributors, gender serves as an analytical framework and covers the experiences of women in different global settings related to education, political activism, corporeal violence, identity, sexuality, and poverty. The use of poetry and literature provides a powerful voice for women against exclusion and recognises their contribution to society.- Creator

Women voicing resistance
Feminist scholars have demonstrated how dominant discourses frequently reflect patriarchal influence, thereby distorting and depoliticizing women’s storying of their own lives. In this volume researchers provide an examination of women’s attempts to counter-story their lives when prevailing discourses are harmful. As such, it is an exploration of women’s agency and resistance, which highlights the challenges and complexities of such discursive work.The chapters explore women’s resistance across a wide range of experiences, including: intimate partner violence, casual sex, depression, premenstrual change, disordered eating, lesbian identity, women’s work in male-dominated spaces, rape, and child birth.- Creator

Imagining the black female body

Imagining the black female body
This volume explores issues of black female identity through the various “imaginings” of the black female body in print and visual culture. Offering an exploration of the continuities and discontinuities of subjectivity and agency, this collection reveals black women’s expressivity as a multilayered enterprise, liberating and similarly confining. Thus these representations in art, literature, and culture perform a delicate and challenging dance of redemption—a redemption necessary to flesh out the precarious dynamics of being black and female at the turn of this century.- Creator

Reconciling art and mothering

Reconciling art and mothering
The twenty-five essays in this book are grouped into two sections, the first written by art historians and the second by artists. Art historians reflect on the work of artists addressing motherhood from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Contributions point to the influence of past generations of artist-mothers, to the inspiration found in the work of maternally-minded literary and cultural theorists, and to attempts to broaden definitions of maternity. Working against a hegemonic construction of motherhood, the contributors discuss complex and diverse feminist mothering experiences, from maternal ambivalence to queer mothering to quests for self-fulfillment. The essays address mothering experiences around the globe, with contributors hailing from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.- Creator

Gendered bodies
This book focuses on key themes that reveal how gendered relations, ideologies, and practices shape human bodies. At the same time, it shows how human bodies are linked to other significant axes of inequality based on racial ethnic group, disability, sexuality, class, culture, religion, age, and nation. This second edition incorporates sixteen new selections on such topics as evolution and motherhood: breastfeeding: breast cancer: the effects of height on men: job discrimination and transgendered people: world champion runner Caster Semenya and sex verification: disability, gender, and embodiment: and Palestinian female suicide bombers.- Creator

Material feminisms
This book provides theoretical and methodological examples to illuminate how new material feminism can be put to work in education to open up new avenues of research design and practice. It poses questions about the nature of knowledge production, the role of the researcher, and the critical endeavour arising from inter- and post-disciplinarity. Inspired by writers such as Barad, Bennett, and Deleuze and Guattari, the book makes a radical break with cognitive, dualist, and universal conceptions of human subjectivity and intelligence in education. By taking its starting point as the co-consitutiveness of discourse, materiality, corporeality, and place, the book foregrounds educational practices as material enactments of multiple, non-linear, entangled, affective, and relational forces. It offers new insights into how gender, class, and ethnicity are constituted in, and by, material assemblages that are often submerged or ‘unseen’. This book was originally published as a special issue of Gender and Education.- Creator

Belief, bodies, and being
In this book the contributors present diverse viewpoints on feminist issues of embodiement, materialism, and agency from feminist and postmodernist philosophical perspectives. Beginnning by positing non-traditional ways of approaching ontological concerns (through the acknowledgement of agential realties and the usage of an ontology of tropes), the volume concludes by addressing highly specific, culturally constituted types of postmodern bodies (monstrous, anorexic, and pharmaceutical bodies).- Creator
