Este artículo pretende analizar cómo Cristina Rivera Garza construye memoria sobre el feminicidio de su hermana en El invencible verano de Liliana (2021). Se parte de observar que, al realizar un ...trabajo profundo con las memorias desde el presente, los marcos culturales desde los que se reconfiguran las experiencias pasadas proveen las herramientas y el lenguaje que inciden en la forma en que se rememora. En este sentido, el lenguaje y la perspectiva que aportan a Rivera Garza los feminismos tanto teóricos como activistas, detonan un tipo de mirada que activa las memorias desde otra situacionalidad. Se postula entonces que el recorrido que Rivera Garza realiza vincula las labores de investigación y montaje con la puesta en movimiento de afectos y recuerdos, configurando así un archivo otro, un mapa-plano móvil y multidimensional que traza conexiones desde el pasado hasta el presente. A través de este archivo, es posible reflexionar sobre el pasado con herramientas actuales y construir así una memoria dinámica que interpela a sus lectores, activándoles también. El dinamismo por el que apuesta, desde una obra difícilmente encasillable en un género en particular, es parte de su dimensión política.
This article aims to inspire international human resource management (IHRM) scholarship that incorporates postcolonial feminist theory, using the under-researched topic of paternalistic leadership ...and gender to illustrate the opportunities and challenges such an endeavour can present. Paternalistic leadership is an important and widely used indigenous framework for examining leadership in Chinese contexts, while postcolonial feminism holds the capacity to problematise the representation of non-western women in feminist theory as a universal, transhistorical category. As this article demonstrates, postcolonial feminist theory centralises cultural difference in theorising gender, strives toward shattering binaries reproduced by colonialism and imperialism (West/East, Western/Third World Woman) and generates indigenous, localised knowledge on non-western women. Three sites of enquiry are discussed: 1) Chinese feminisms and genders; 2) Chinese cultures and gender norms; 3) Voice, agency and the subaltern woman. This article provides research propositions for IHRM scholars to translate postcolonial femininst theory into research on paternalistic leadership and gender. Concluding, the article outlines implications for practice and sifts the discussion for the future avenues of research it signals.
Hind draws on poetry, short stories, plays, novels, photographs, personal correspondence, advertising, and interviews to make visible the anti-feminine tendencies in femmenism and to imagine a ...femmenism that will appeal to the next generation of women.
Este artículo analiza el papel del Movimiento de Mujeres contra la Guerra y por la Paz (MMGP) en la construcción de memoria y resistencia desde el feminismo popular. El artículo estudia el caso de la ...masacre del 16 de mayo de 1998 en el barrio el Campin de Barrancabermeja para develar la contribución de las mujeres en la defensa de la vida y del territorio, así como a la re-significación del trauma social. Para ello aplica una metodología cualitativa con observación participante, entrevistas semi-estructuradas a mujeres de la Organización y revisión de fuentes secundarias.
Combining feminism and architecture means understanding and designing the spaces we inhabit through a gender perspective capable of overturning stereotypes and cliches, unfortunately still widespread ...despite the research developed by many feminist scholars. These have initiated a new historical perspective that has changed the methodologies of analysis, bringing out many women who were left in the shadows. Recomposing memories to build gender genealogies and elaborating theoretical reflections to give substance to feminist approaches have been the two most recurring approaches, to which a third line of reflections and practices is being added, more recently, related to the design approach. The article briefly retraces some emblematic figures of recent history and then dwells on contemporary projects in which, finally, women are key actors in imagining, proposing, and creating an inclusive city that knows how to take charge of everyone's needs, but also desires, at an intergenerational and intersectional level. Alongside the work of memory, the elaboration of a knowledge that is not neutral, but positioned on our being women, enables implementation practices that shape and give life to new types of space in which it becomes possible to break old dichotomies and gender discriminations. Keywords: feminism; architecture; gender genealogies; women designers; territorial care. Coniugare femminismo e architettura significa proporre una lettura e un progetto degli spazi che abitiamo attraverso un'ottica di genere in grado di rovesciare stereotipi e luoghi comuni, purtroppo ancora diffusi nonostante le ricerche sviluppate da molte studiose femministe. Queste hanno avviato una nuova prospettiva storica che ha modificato le metodologie di analisi, facendo emergere molte figure rimaste nell'ombra. Ricomporre memorie per costruire genealogie di genere ed elaborare riflessioni teoriche per dare corpo ad approcci femministi sono state le due direttrici di studio piu ricorrenti, alle quali piu di recente si sta aggiungendo una terza pista di riflessioni e pratiche legata all'approccio progettuale. L'articolo intende ripercorrere sinteticamente alcune figure emblematiche della storia recente per soffermarsi quindi sulle progettualita contemporanee che, finalmente, vedono le donne protagoniste nell'immaginare, proporre e realizzare citta inclusive che sappiano farsi carico dei bisogni, ma anche dei desideri, di tutte e tutti, a livello intergenerazionale e intersezionale. Accanto al lavoro di memoria, l'elaborazione di un sapere non neutro, ma posizionato sul nostro essere donne, rende finalmente possibili pratiche realizzative che plasmano e danno vita a nuovi tipi di spazio in cui frantumare vecchie dicotomie e discriminazioni di genere. Parole-chiave: femminismo; architettura; genealogie di genere; progettiste; cura del territorio.
This essay highlights my first-hand experiences as a participant in the 2019 Black Transnational Decolonial Feminism summer program in Brazil. Grounding the article in critical scholarship—including ...Black feminist thought and decolonial feminism—I explore, reflect upon, and examine key challenges and possibilities that emerged in the program. I am interested in contributing to fostering transnational, Black feminist solidarity and forging connections across lines of contention.
Women are acculturated within systems that encourage them to sabotage one another; this book shows how they can break free of this cultural programming and use whatever privilege and power they have ...to raise each other up. Joy Wiggins and Kami Anderson advocate that the only way women can successfully support each other is by addressing the varying intersections of our individual power and privileges, particularly focusing on how some privileges are inherited along lines of race, class, sexuality, and geography. When we fully examine how we have power in certain situations and not in others, we start to see where we can lend privilege to create truly inclusive spaces for the historically underrepresented and marginalized. Wiggins and Anderson look at how the dynamics of privilege and power have played out in the history of the feminist movement and identify and break down socialized behaviors and ideologies that trigger implicit bias and microaggressions. And they provide tools to interrupt negative thoughts and actions so women can nurture mutual support and show up as their authentic selves. Each chapter features a dialogue between them reflecting on how issues of race, privilege, and power have played out in their lives and their friendship.The system of patriarchy has created an environment for women to knowingly and unknowingly sabotage each other-it is not inherent in women themselves. This book teaches us how to take an active approach to becoming better allies for each other and by so doing improve our world and end the cycle of injustice.

The notion of postfeminism has become one of the most important in the lexicon of feminist cultural an alysis. Yet there is little agreement about what postfeminism is. This article argues that ...postfeminism is best understood as a distinctive sensibility, made up of a number of interrelated themes. These include the notion that femininity is a bodily property; the shift from objectification to subjectification; an emphasis upon self-surveillance, monitoring and self-discipline; a focus on individualism, choice and empowerment; the dominance of a makeover paradigm; and a resurgence of ideas about natural sexual difference. Each of these is explored in some detail, with examples from contemporary Anglo-American media. It is precisely the patterned articulation of these ideas that constitutes a postfeminist sensibility. The article concludes with a discussion of the connection between this sensibility and contemporary neoliberalism.
