The authors analyses Iran's women's press, Maghrebi women filmmakers and Egyptian political films, Palestinian TV and Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar. It takes as its starting point the diverse experiences and multi-layered identities of women and treats media institutions and practices as part of wider power relations in society. By analysing media production, consumption and texts, it reveals where and how gender boundaries have been established or crossed.

- Description
- This collection of essays, written by musicologists and ethnomusicologists, provide a cross-cultural and cross-historical view of the roles women have played as creators and performers and the representation of women in world, popular, and western art music. Organized in five sections, the readings deal with a broad spectrum of topics and approaches about women, gender, and sexuality in music across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas from the twelfth century to the present. Included are themes as class and sexual politics in domestic and professional music making, the sequestration of female musical performance, the lament, gender identity through performance, and women singers as empowered voices of the people.

- Description
- Exploring decorative arts, medicine, and opera, as well as literary texts, the author shows that constructions of exotic femininity in Victorian Britain must be approached through an interdisciplinary perspective in order to fully understand their complexity. The book discusses orientalism, the figure of the odalisque, the zenana or women's secluded inner quarters, the veil and the harem.
