Helen Thompson'sIngenuous Subjectionoffers a new feminist history of the eighteenth-century domestic novel. By reading social contract theory alongside representations of the domestic sphere by ...authors such as Mary Astell, Mary Davys, Samuel Richardson, Eliza Haywood, and Frances Sheridan, Thompson shows how these writers confront women's paradoxical status as both contractual agents and naturally subject wives. Over the long eighteenth century, Thompson argues, domestic novelists appropriated the standard of political modernity advanced by John Locke and others as a citizen's free or "ingenuous" assent to the law. The domestic novel figures feminine political difference not as women's deviation from an abstract universal but rather as their failure freely or ingenuously to submit to the power retained by Enlightenment husbands.Ingenuous Subjectionclaims domestic novelists as vital participants in Enlightenment political discourse. By tracing the political, philosophical, and generic significance of feminine compliance, this book revises our literary historical account of the rise of the novel. Rather than imagining a realm of harmonious sentiment, domestic fiction represents the persistent arbitrariness of eighteenth-century men's conjugal power.Ingenuous Subjectionrevises feminist theory and historiography, locating the genealogy of feminism in a contractual model of ingenuous assent which challenges the legitimacy of masculine conjugal government. The first study to treat feminine compliance as something other than a passive, politically neutral exercise,Ingenuous Subjectionrecovers in this practice the domestic novel's critical engagement with the limits of Enlightenment modernity.
Avec cette contribution nous tenterons d’apporter quelques éclaircissements sur la manière dont les lieux mémoriels exercent, indépendamment du passage du temps, une influence encore active sur les ...deux frères Bellocchio, Alberto et Marco, et par conséquent sur leur travail littéraire et cinématographique. Premièrement, nous retracerons les étapes fondamentales de leur biographie puisqu’ils s’en inspirent directement pour la création de leurs œuvres. Par la suite, nous nous concentrerons sur la réalité familiale des Bellocchio, sur les lieux qui les ont vus naître et grandir et sur la façon dont ils sont transposés dans leurs productions. Enfin, nous parlerons de la création par Marco Bellocchio de la Fondazione Fare Cinema et du Bobbio Film Festival, à savoir des éléments de promotion culturelle pour le village de Bobbio, centre de la mémoire familiale et de l’œuvre des frères Bellocchio.

Cet article présente l'expérience d'un partenariat famille-école-musée qui s'est engagé dans un processus de recherche et d'intervention pédagogique avec des enseignants d'une école primaire de ...Montevideo (Uruguay), des enfants, des parents volontaires, des éducateurs de cinq musées de la ville et des photographes professionnels. Le réseau a développé un projet d'éducation plurilingue multi-sites autour du quartier Ciudad Vieja, mêlant les langues, les arts et la multimodalité.
Labour scholars have carefully examined how being daughters, wives, and mothers influences women's labour process. In contrast, labour studies on men have rarely considered their family involvement ...except for being the breadwinners. Based on an ethnographic study on rural migrant workers in a Chinese factory, this article presents more complex work-family mechanisms for male workers. First, the married male migrant workers expressed deep family commitment. Shouldering family responsibilities made them more labour conservative, not only because they prioritized having a stable income but also because they empathized with the family obligations of married managers. However, the same family value could also lead to labour resistance when it was disrespected by the management. Second, the parents and relatives of single young male migrant workers played crucial roles in directing them to factories and made it difficult for them to resist unpleasant working conditions or leave. And the anticipation of future marriage further shaped the young male migrant workers' labour practices. This article contributes to labour studies by demonstrating the indispensability of family to the analysis of male workers' labour practices. It also challenges the gender stereotypes of male breadwinner/female caregiver and presents working-class men as being deeply embedded in family lives.
Law and legal discourse both presuppose and produce legal subjects. Views on the nature of the legal subject will constantly shift, therefore, with changes in the law.Contextual Subjectsargues that a ...new view of the legal subject has indeed emerged and that it is now embedded in the social context and relationships. This claim is developed through a contrast of Canadian family law and administrative law as it was in the mid-twentieth century and as it is today.
Robert Leckey argues that it is not only the subject that is contextual. Legal discourse and adjudication have also become more contextual, making family law and administrative law themselves contextual subjects. Leckey bolsters this argument through the use of relational theory, a rich strand of feminist political theory that advocates a contextual method and seeks to promote constructive relationships that enable relational autonomy. Developments in family law and administrative law, therefore, exemplify the contextualism called for by relational theorists. Leckey points to the importance of contextualization, but he is not uncritical of relational theory, insisting that it should articulate more forcefully its normative vision of good relationships and offer clear recommendations in contested areas.
Contextual Subjectsis the most thorough and sustained application of relational theory to legal examples to appear to date. It is unique in Canadian legal scholarship for the way it pairs family law and administrative law, and within legal scholarship in English for its integration of common law and civil law.
