- Description
- This book examines the relationship between words and images in various life-writing works produced by nineteenth to twenty-first century American and British women. It addresses the politics of images in women’s life writing, contending that the presence or absence of images is often strategic. Including a range of different forms of life writing, chapters draw on traditional (auto)biographies, travel narratives, memoirs, diaries, autofiction, cancer narratives, graphic memoirs, artistic installations, quilts and online performances, as life writing moves from page to screen and other media. The book explores a wide range of women who have crossed the boundary between text and image: painters who have become writers, novelists who have become painters, writers who hesitate between images and words, models who seize the camera, and artists who use the frame as a page.

In a century of cinema’s male-gaze domination and misogyny and sexism in the real world this collection explores the female gaze and the wider landscape of sexuality, the body, politics and culture.

- Description
- Historical films by female directors featuring female characters are often criticised for being too emotional and incapable of expressing real history. Erhart situates women filmmakers' work within a context of other women directors from the UK, the United States, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere. She connects their strategies for repesenting gender in films with exploring the past through the prism of the present. Besides she explores how historiographical concepts like valor, memory and resistance are uniquely re-envisioned within sub-genres including biopics, historical documentaries and holocaust movies.

- Description
- 'Beelden' over de islam uit het verleden speelden in Nederland steeds een belangrijke rol. In de loop van de eeuwen heeft de islam in de Nederlandse beeldvorming allerlei gedaanten aangenomen: er is sprake geweest van duivels heidendom, ketterse religie, achterlijke moslims, een zinnelijke profeet, maar ook van 'sporen van goddelijk licht' en 'kinderen van Abraham', met wie een dialoog tot stand moet komen of die zich zelfs via een eigen zuil moeten emanciperen. Zo is er ook een traditie van een exotische en erotische verbeelding van de islam geweest, geïnspireerd door Duizend-en-één-nacht: viriele Arabieren, romantische soeks en verleidelijke haremvrouwen. Vanaf de jaren '90 zien we een nieuw, angstaanjagend beeld van de islam opdoemen.

- Description
- Writing against the grain of popular perception and moral panic, Shauna Pomerantz offers a look at the importance of style for girls in school. Fighting assumptions that girls today are dupes of media and capitalism, she argues that style is a significant cultural practice that demands to be taken seriously in the lives of girls. Based on an ethnography at an urban, multicultural high school in Vancouver's east side, Pomerantz contextualizes style as a form of expression that enables girls to produce fluid and multiple identities, social networks, individual images, expressions of agency and power, and cultural affiliations. She strikes a balance between making visible the impact of external forces on the girls in her study, and arguing the poststructuralist position that the girls have agency.

- Description
- This book is about the reshaping of women's lives, loves and dreams since 1950. In this period Walt Disney's film Cinderella gave expression to popular ideas of romance, marriage was a major determinant of female life chances and teenage girls dreamed of Mr Right and happy endings. It ends with the success of Disney's Frozen (2013), a film with relevance to very different times. The book shows how women's expectations and emotional landscapes have shifted since 1950, considering among others the way women's changing life experiences have been mirrored in new expectations about marriage, intimacy and family life and the way new forms of independence through education and work altered women's life ambitions.

- Description
- This book explores women’s relationship with terrorism, with a keen eye on the political, gender, racial, and cultural dynamics of the contemporary world. Throughout most of the twentieth century, it was rare to hear about women terrorists. In the new millennium, however, women have increasingly taken active roles in carrying out suicide bombings, hijacking airplanes, and taking hostages in such places as Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, and Chechnya. The first section of this volume offers an overview of women’s participation in and relationships with contemporary terrorism, and a historical chapter traces their involvement in the politics and conflicts of Islamic societies. The next section includes analysis of terrorist movements in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, and Sri Lanka. The third section turns to women’s involvement in al Qaeda and includes critical interrogations of the gendered media and the scholarly presentations of those women.

- Description
- The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates’s recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated motherhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now reviving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oates’s writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing conventional feminist literature.
