En 2024, en América Latina, las movilizaciones feministas y de mujeres contra la impunidad de las violencias de género, siguen teniendo una fuerza sin precedentes, tal como lo demuestran años tras ...años las grandes marchas del 8M. Pero esta última oleada de movilizaciones feministas ha puesto de relieve que, a pesar de los recientes cambios en la legislación, la violencia de género sigue produciéndose y desarrollándose. El backlash anti- feminista también se fortalece, y encuentra potentes enlaces políticos-partidarios. Este libro electrónico, editado por el Centro de Estudios Mexicanos y Centroamericanos (CEMCA) y presentado en Open Edition, se propone contribuir a la historia de la politización de la violencia sexista, mediante la traducción al español de textos inicialmente escritos en francés, a raíz de investigaciones realizadas por investigadoras francófonas e hispanohablantes en Mesoamérica entre los años 2000 y 2010.
The acceleration of economic globalization and the rapid global flows of people, cultural goods, and information have intensified the importance of developing transnational understandings of ...contemporary issues. Transnational feminist perspectives have provided a unique outlook on women's lives and have deepened our understanding of the gendered nature of global processes.Transnational Feminism in the United Statesexamines how transnational perspectives shape the ways in which we produce, consume, and disseminate knowledge about the world within the United States, and how the paradigm of transnational feminism is affected in nuanced ways by national narratives and public discourses within the country itself.An innovative theoretical project that is both deconstructive and constructive, this bookinterrogates the limits of feminist thought, primarily through case studies that illustrate its power to create entirely new fields of research out of traditionally interdisciplinary lines of inquiry. Leela Fernandes discusses ways to approach, analyze, and capture processes that exceed and unsettle the nation-state within the transnational feminist paradigm. Examining the links between power and knowledge that bind interdisciplinary theory and research, she shines new light on issues such as human rights and the United States war on terror as well as academic debates about transnational feminist perspectives on global issues. A commanding and thought-provoking analysis,Transnational Feminism in the United Statespowerfully contributes to central debates in the field of Women's Studies and related cross-disciplinary scholarship on feminist theory and gender from a global perspective.Leela Fernandesis Professor of Women's Studies and Political Science at the University of Michigan, and author ofIndia's New Middle Class: Democratic Politics in an Era of Economic Reform;Producing Workers: The Politics of Gender, Classand Culture in the Calcutta Jute Mills; andTransforming Feminist Practice.
Constance Markievicz (1868-1927), née Gore-Booth, fille d’une riche famille anglo-irlandaise, ne semblait en rien destinée à prendre les armes pour l’indépendance irlandaise et la cause des femmes. ...Femme et journaliste engagée, elle œuvre à la diffusion d’idéaux républicains, socialistes et féministes lors de la période révolutionnaire. Elle se bat aux côtés des hommes et appelle les femmes à s’engager pour la cause. Consciente du pouvoir des images, elle exploite ses talents artistiques pour transmettre ses idées politiques et mobiliser le public dans la lutte pour l’indépendance. Actrice puis dramaturge, elle revisite le récit national exclusivement masculin, afin que l’engagement politique des femmes entre dans la mémoire collective. L’objet de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment les œuvres de Constance Markievicz, armes au service de son activisme multiforme, lui ont permis d’exprimer et de mettre en scène sa résistance, dans l’espoir d’inspirer ses contemporaines.
Les femmes ont toujours travaillé. Ainsi au xixe siècle, elles sont présentes partout dans la sphère commerciale. Elles gèrent des manufactures, tiennent les comptes et s’occupent de la clientèle ...d’ateliers, de commerces de gros ou de détail. Elles sont épouses de, filles de ou veuves, mais aussi indépendantes et employées. Partenaires de l’économie familiale puis salariées, ces femmes qui comptent ont-elles été formées ? Par qui, de quelles façons, dans quels cadres et avec quels outils ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Marianne Thivend suit les itinéraires de deux figures pionnières de l’enseignement commercial, Élise Luquin à Lyon et Marguerite Malmanche à Paris, et nous fait entrer dans l’univers des écoles et des cours du soir pour les filles et les femmes qu’elles ont contribué à développer à partir de la seconde moitié du xixe siècle. Avec cet ouvrage à la rencontre de l’histoire du genre, de l’histoire de l’éducation et de l’histoire du travail des femmes, elle démontre que l’enseignement professionnel a permis à ces dernières de s’adapter aux mutations des marchés du travail et de développer leur capacité économique.
In Muddying the Waters , Richa Nagar uses stories, encounters, and anecdotes as well as methodological reflections, to grapple with the complexity of working through solidarities, responsibility, and ...ethics while involved in politically engaged scholarship. Experiences that range from the streets of Dar es Salaaam to farms and development offices in North India inform discussion of the labor and politics of co-authorship, translation and genre blending in research and writing that cross multiple--and often difficult--borders, Nagar links the implicit assumptions, issues, and questions involved with scholarship and political action, and explores the epistemological risks and possibilities of creative research that brings these into intimate dialogue. Daringly self-conscious, Muddying the Waters reveals a politically engaged research and writer working to become "radically vulnerable," and on the ways a focus on such radical vulnerability could allow a re-imagining of collaboration that opens new avenues to collective dreaming and laboring across sociopolitical, geographical, linguistic, and institutional borders.
Gli studi sul movimento femminista italiano presentano ancora molte lacune, e questo volume ne colma una fondamentale: quella della comparsa del femminismo della cosiddetta “seconda ondata” (quello ...degli anni Settanta) da uno dei luoghi simbolo del Sessantotto studentesco (la facoltà di Sociologia di Trento). È la storia di un’altra rivoluzione e, al contempo, di una rivoluzione altra, quella delle donne. Un lavoro di ricerca che mette in dialogo la storia delle donne e la sociologia dei movimenti sociali, in cui la vicenda locale viene costantemente posta in relazione al più ampio quadro italiano, con un ricco e inedito corpus di documenti e le interviste condotte con le protagoniste. E al contempo un racconto di grande vivacità, che restituisce pienamente l’atmosfera di quegli anni attraversati da grandi passioni.
Intersectionality, or the consideration of race, class, and gender, is one of the prominent contemporary theoretical contributions made by scholars in the field of women's studies that now broadly ...extends across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Taking stock of this transformative paradigm,The Intersectional Approachguides new and established researchers to engage in a critical reflection about the broad adoption of intersectionality that constitutes what the editors call a new "social literacy" for scholars.In eighteen essays, contributors examine various topics of interest to students and researchers from a feminist perspective as well as through their respective disciplines, looking specifically at gender inequalities related to globalization, health, motherhood, sexuality, body image, and aging. Together, these essays provide a critical overview of the paradigm, highlight new theoretical and methodological advances, and make a strong case for the continued use of the intersectional approach both within the borders of women's and gender studies and beyond.Contributors:Lidia Anchisi, Gettysburg CollegeNaomi Andre, University of MichiganJean Ait Belkhir, Southern University at New OrleansMichele Tracy Berger, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillKia Lilly Caldwell, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillElizabeth R.
