- Description
- Twenty-one chronologically ordered essays explore women's roles in the cultural production of their time from the Middle Ages to the present. A part of the essays examines the work of the earliest women writers and artists - memoirs and meditations, novellas and plays - and the representation or self-representation of women in texts, including medieval folksong, hagiography and painting of the Baroque era. Other essays focuse on women's participation in politics and culture from the eighteenth century onwards: as translators, essayists, consumers of visual ephemera, writers, artists, film directors and performers.

- Description
- This book focuses on girls and girlhoods, texts for and about girls, and the cultural contexts that shape girls’ experience. Contributors from disciplines such as sociology, literature, education, and gender studies combine these disciplinary approaches in novel ways with insights from international studies, postcolonial studies, game studies, and other fields.

- Description
- In this collection, a group of international authors dare to think psychoanalytically about the legacies of political violence and suffering in relation to post-traumatic cultures worldwide. They build on maverick art historian Aby Warburg's project of combining social, cultural, anthropological and psychological analyses of the image in order to track the undercurrents of cultural violence in the representational repertoire of Western modernity. Drawing on post-colonial and feminist theory, they analyse the image and the aesthetic in conditions of historical trauma, from enslavement and colonisation to the Irish Famine, from Denmark's national trauma about migrants and cartoons to collective shock after 9/11, from individual traumas of loss registered in allegory to newsreels and documentaries on suicide bombing in Israel/Palestine, and from Kristeva's novels to Kathryn Bigelow's cinema.

- Description
- Anno 1994 is 40% van de arbeidskrachten in de meeste westerse landen vrouw. Organisaties echter hebben achtergelopen in het kapitaliseren van hun potentiëel aan vrouwelijke arbeidskrachten. Vaak wordt de 'human resource' van hun vrouwelijke managers onvoldoende aangeboord. Om concurrerend te blijven moeten leiders van organisaties de waardevolle inbreng die vrouwen in management en bestuurlijke posities hebben, effectief gebruiken. Over het geheel genomen heeft deze publikatie ten doel om een beknopt begrijpelijk overzicht te geven van de huidige internationale onderzoeksresultaten op het gebied van vrouw en management. De internationale groep van medewerkers belicht de grotere problemen en barrières, waar managers zich voor gesteld zien, de gevolgen op organisatorisch en persoonlijk vlak, en doet aanbevelingen voor veranderingen op organisatorisch en wetgevend terrein.

Contributors analyse gender and fluctuations of power by concentrating on the reach of global media and its (re)working in local contexts. The book explores first, what is the role that global communications media play in constructing ideas about cultural identities in Asian contexts: second, how do media texts and the politics of consumption construct versions of a 'modern woman' in some Asian contexts: third, how do we define and interpret the feminine as understood in an Asian context.

- Description
- In deze bundel wordt ter discussie gesteld dat verschillen in macht natuurlijk zouden zijn. De auteurs pogen aan te tonen dat deze verschillen geen logisch uitvloeisel zijn van een natuurlijke orde, maar een integraal deel van verhalen over de orde van de dingen. Auteurs besteden aandacht aan die gebieden, die van cruciaal belang zijn voor de identiteit van mensen, zoals familie, verwantschap, gender, seksualiteit, etniciteit, nationaliteit en religie.

- Description
- This book explores the Bible’s ongoing relevance in contemporary discussions around rape culture and gender violence. Each chapter considers the ways that biblical texts and themes engage with various forms of gender violence, including the subjective, physical violence of rape, the symbolic violence of misogynistic and heteronormative discourses, and the structural violence of patriarchal power systems. The authors within this volume attempt to name the multiple forms of gender violence present within the biblical traditions, contesting the erasure of this violence within both the biblical texts themselves and their interpretive traditions. They also consider the complex connections between biblical gender violence and the perpetuation and validation of rape culture in contemporary popular culture.

- Description
- This book explores the extent to which gendered approaches are evident and effective in spatial development in selected European countries. Beginning with an introduction to theories and concepts of gender, space and development, the book includes a brief historical review of gender in spatial planning and development throughout Europe in general, and an overview of different national frameworks in European countries, comparing legal, organisational and cultural similarities and differences. This is followed by a reflection on how simplifications and stereotypes of gender concepts are used in the practice of spatial development. The main part of the book offers a transnational discussion of planning practices on selected thematic topics. It starts with gender-sensitivity in urban master planning and at neighbourhood level referring to different types of planning manuals. Furthermore, the book focuses on gender-sensitive evaluation in urban planning as well as international agendas for sustainable development as a framework for a new generation of gender equality policies.

- Description
- Bundel met bijdragen over historische, symbolische, economische, psychologische en culturele betekenissen van geven. Deel 1 bevat voorbeelden van schenkingspraktijken door de eeuwen heen: de in de Middeleeuwen gangbare praktijk waarin ouders hun kinderen aan het klooster schonken en de geschiedenis van het Hollandse geschenkenritueel rond Sinterklaas waarbij veranderingen in de aard van de geschenken verschuivingen in de verhouding tussen o.a. mannen en vrouwen weerspiegelen. In deel 2 zijn de symbolische en economische 'waarde' de centrale invalshoek. Aan de orde komt o.a. de onbetaalde zorg als een van de giften die een belangrijke rol speelt in de economie. Deel 3 gaat in op de psychologische betekenissen van het geven. Ingegaan wordt o.a. op de samenhang tussen geven en identiteit. In deel 4 staan de culturele betekenissen van het geven centraal. Aan de hand van het huwelijksgoud dat in het Midden-Oosten aan vrouwen wordt gegeven en de bruidsschat in de Hindoe-gemeenschap wordt duidelijk gemaakt hoe dubbelzinnig geschenken kunnen zijn.
