O objetivo do artigo é examinar as dimensöes do feminino no cinema de Carlos Reichenbach, a partir do estado de caso de Lilian M: confissôes amorosas (relatório confidencial) (1975). A análise ...centra-se na construçâo da subjetividade da personagern Lilian, seguindo trés niveis de abordagem. Isso indui um enfoque gerai da estrutura narrativa, à luz da ideia de campo-cidade do desengaño (Bernardet, 1975; Xavier, 1989); uma análise da hibridaçâo de géneros audiovisuais, em diálogo com a noçâo de estilo indireto livre (Pasolini, 1981); bem como o estudo dos discursos da protagonista sobre si, articulados aos debates da sexualidade pela contracultura (Hollanda, 2004) e da prostituta como figura transgressera (Rago, 2009).
What is the relationship between fatness and femininity? How do prejudices toward fat bodies (i.e., fatphobia) and femininity (i.e., femmephobia) intersect? How does scholarship on femininities ...converge with scholarship on fatness? And, what novel insights can be cultivated by putting the fields of fat studies and critical femininities into conversation? In this article, we explore these questions, arguing that fatphobia and femmephobia, as well as the dominant cultural framings of fatness and femininity, are inextricably intertwined. Specifically, we challenge femininity's associations with superficiality and oppression, discussing instead the importance of intersectional and recuperative approaches to fat femininities. Accordingly, this article illuminates the complex relationships between femininity and fatness; how these relationships differ across intersectional axes of privilege and oppression; as well as the ways femininity and fatness - or, by extension, femmephobia and fatphobia - intertwine to create unique experiences of gendered embodiment. Ultimately, with this article, we advocate for the importance of exploring diverse fat feminine embodiments and the potential for critical femininities to transform how we think about and embody fatness.

Neste artigo discorro sobre a força enunciativa do uso do véu em rituais religiosos que interpenetram no campo da educação instaurando uma realidade de gênero. Inspirada nos estudos de gênero, ...performatividade e fotografia, analiso um corpus de três fotografias de Primeira Comunhão no decorrer do século XX. A análise permite dizer que o uso do véu no contexto analisado traduz uma uma visão estereotipada sobre as mulheres, em função de uma feminilidade que transita entre santidade e perversidade, incidindo em subjetividades desejantes de estilos de vida muitas vezes vulneráveis. O uso do véu pode reiterar mitos, sugerir desde um modo de tornar-se cristã, como reafirmar asserções definidas pelo discurso cristão sobre a melhor conduta feminina. Palavras-chave: Feminilidade. Escolarização. Fotografia.
This book explores the situation of women in colonial India between 1820 and 1932. Making use of innovative theorisation, it explains the framework of colonial change over this long period, providing ...important context for the women who lived and worked in Asian colonial domains generally. In the middle of the nineteenth century the British raj created a new class of female teachers, tasked with transmitting the modes of bourgeois European femininity to their peers. This measure, intended to reinforce the strength of colonial rule, did not go unchallenged. Indian women found many ways of pushing back against the gender constructions that had been imposed on them: new forms of female medical-care outreach emerged, and Roman Catholic teaching orders sought out the peripheries of female colonial experience. Ultimately the national movement established its own models of femininity, overriding the constructions of the fading raj.
Cultural views of femininity exerted a powerful influence on the courtroom arguments used to defend or condemn notable women on trial in nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century America. By ...examining the colorful rhetorical strategies employed by lawyers and reporters of women's trials in newspaper articles, trial transcriptions, and popular accounts, A. Cheree Carlson argues that the men in charge of these communication avenues were able to transform their own values and morals into believable narratives that persuaded judges, juries, and the general public of a woman's guilt or innocence._x000B__x000B_Carlson analyzes the situations of several women of varying historical stature, from the insanity trials of Mary Todd Lincoln and Lizzie Borden's trial for the brutal slaying of her father and stepmother, to lesser-known trials involving insanity, infidelity, murder, abortion, and interracial marriage. The insanity trial of Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard, the wife of a minister, resulted from her attempts to change her own religion, while a jury acquitted Mary Harris for killing her married lover, suggesting that loss of virginity to an adulterous man was justifiable grounds for homicide. The popular conception of abortion as a "woman's crime" came to the fore in the case of Ann Loman (also known as Madame Restell), who performed abortions in New York both before and after it became a crime. Finally, Alice Rhinelander was sued for fraud by her new husband Leonard for "passing" as white, but the jury was more moved by the notion of Alice being betrayed as a woman by her litigious husband than by the supposed defrauding of Leonard as a white male. Alice won the case, but the image of womanhood as in need of sympathy and protection won out as well._x000B__x000B_At the heart of these cases, Carlson reveals clearly just how narrow was the line that women had to walk, since the same womanly virtues that were expected of them--passivity, frailty, and purity--could be turned against them at any time. These trials of popular status are especially significant because they reflect the attitudes of the broad audience, indicate which forms of knowledge are easily manipulated, and allow us to analyze how the verdict is argued outside the courtroom in the public and press. With gripping retellings and incisive analysis of these scandalous criminal and civil cases, this book will appeal to historians, rhetoricians, feminist researchers, and anyone who enjoys courtroom drama.
Scholars have studied multiple femininities across different spaces by attributing variation to cultural/spatial contexts. They have studied multiple femininities in the same space by attributing ...variation to class/race positions. However, we do not yet know how women from the same cultural, class, and race locations may enact multiple femininities in the same context. Drawing on observations and interviews in a women-only bazaar in Pakistan, I show that multiple femininities can exist within the same space and be enacted by the same individual. Working-class women workers in Meena Bazaar switched between performances of “pariah femininity” and “hegemonic femininity,” patching together contradictory femininities to secure different types of capital at the organizational and personal levels. Pariah femininities enabled access to economic capital but typically decreased women’s symbolic capital, whereas hegemonic femininities generated symbolic capital but could block or enable access to economic capital. The concept of a patchwork performance of femininity explains how and why working-class women simultaneously embody idealized and stigmatized forms of femininity. Furthermore, it captures how managerial regimes and personal struggles for class distinction interact to produce contradictory gender performances. By examining gender performances in the context of social stratification, I explain the structural underpinnings of working-class women’s gendered struggles for respectability and work.
