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.
This volume centers on theories and methodologies for postgraduate feminist researchers engaged in interdisciplinary research. In the context of globalization, this book gives special attention to ...cutting-edge approaches at the borders between humanities and social sciences and specific discipline-transgressing fields, such as feminist technoscience studies.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard?The Silent Sexshows how the gender composition and rules of a ...deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices.
Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests.
Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates,The Silent Sexprovides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern.
Groups are a common clinical intervention for women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). This secondary mixed-methods analysis from a study of 567 Canadian women from the prairie provinces ...compared the mental health and well-being of 131 women who had attended a IPV group to 436 women who had not attended any group. Qualitatively, perspectives from 131 women (113 comments; 18 interviews) who attended some form of group treatment were analyzed. Of the 199 coded comments about the IPV groups, most were positive (157 or 78.9%), while the remaining 21.1% (42) reflected concerns or suggested changes. Clinical implications are provided.
