- Description
- Analysis of representations of women as linked to death, produced by women writers and artists. Religious rituals, literature, film and war journalism are analysed. A central question is whether female writers and artists have rejected the dominant discourses of sexual fascination around women and death and produced different representations. Attention is paid to the cultural change in the 18th century, whereby death became more pronouncedly gendered than in the early modern period. This was in keeping with the new emphasis on sexual dichotomy in medicine, anthropology and philosophy.

- Description
- In this special issue a move beyond aggregation, snapshots and easy labels to understand poverty more. The shortcomings of conventional analyses of poverty and the complexities involved in conceptualizing it in a more meaningful way is highlighted. Female-headed households clearly are disadvantaged in many countries. It is largely informed by the narrow way in which well-being is defined and statistics gathered in conventional poverty research, which also ignores the important dimension of agency that allows women heads to offset gender discrimination as well as the foregone income from a male partner. The extent to which risks for maternal mortality are unequally distributed among women from different socioeconomic backgrounds is highlighted. A research of household level data reveals that poverty and maternal mortality are strongly associated, highlighting the need to move beyond country averages when assessing development performance.
