El presente trabajo se propone realizar un recorrido por las imágenes de la risa en la poesía de Alfonsina Storni y el modo en que éstas se vinculan con la construcción de una voz poética en el ...contexto del sistema literario nacional de comienzos de siglo XX y de los idearios dominantes de la feminidad que imperaban en la época. Para ello, nos centraremos en el poema “La loba”, publicado en 1916, y en una serie de poemas posteriores en los cuales se repiten diferentes figuras de la risa. Asimismo, para vincular la producción poética de Storni con su época, especialmente la “ideología de la domesticidad”, recorreremos algunas de sus crónicas, reunidas en Un libro quemado.
Despite Indian religion being rife with homosexual activities, yet there has been widespread prejudice against the concept. Significant laws have been passed to safeguard the rights of the LGBT ...community. Yet, homophobia and its consequent problems are still rampant in India. The stigma is still persistent. Without any proper recognition of marriage, homosexuals tend to be more promiscuous knowing there is no future. The domestic partnership will help bring stability and companionship not only between two individuals but will bring families together. With the changing times the society’s views on gender roles can be improved and their binary understanding of masculinity and femininity can be broken. Indian culture, always being enmeshed within rigid binary systems of cultures and norms, finds it difficult to accommodate the LGBT community in their family culture. The institution of marriage prevents heterosexuals from being explicitly promiscuous and will make them more domestic thus keeping a track of various sexually transmitted diseases. More often than not homosexuals out of fear of social threats are unable to come out and are forced to participate in sexual liaisons in public spaces. When legalised by law and accepted by the society, same-sex couples will open up more freely, having more faith and trust in a relationship; thus engaging in more domestic aspects of life.
Developing an agenda to conceptualise the connections between the domestic and the urban, this paper focuses on urban domesticities (homemaking in the city), domestic urbanism (the city as home) and ...the home-city geographies that connect them. Home-city geographies examine the interplay between lived experiences of urban homes and the contested domestication of urban space. Reflecting the ways in which urban homes and the ability to feel at home in the city are shaped by different migrations and mobilities, the paper demonstrates that not only home and the city, but also urban dwelling and mobility, are intertwined rather than separate.
Scholarly discussions of the experiences that Lin Huiyin would have had as a student in the United States between 1924 and 1928 have yet to include the experiences she might have had outside the ...classroom that educated her about contemporary and historic architecture in the country and about the role that women at the time had in understanding and shaping it. The shelter magazine House Beautiful provides an overlooked indication of the exposure to and participation in architectural culture available to middle class and wealthy women in the United States in the years in which Lin Huiyin studied at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale. Understanding how the magazine, which was written largely by and for women, celebrated the architecture of the country’s own past, as well as of China, and the way in which it provided a stepping-stone to either a literary or an architectural career suggests the encouragement Lin may have received from the women she met and how they in turn may have been inspired to take an interest in the field, at a time when there were very few female architects.

In 2015, during the cease‐fire in Ukraine, Misha, a Cossack, a veteran of Afghanistan and Chechnya, and a “volunteer” in the ongoing war, waited impatiently to be called back to the front, smoking in ...his truck parked across from his apartment in St. Petersburg. Misha's commitment to a life of combat is an invitation to think of war not as an interruption of ordinary life but as an ongoing, corroding presence in contemporary Russia. In turn, his truck's liminality, moving between home and front, pushes us to reconsider domesticity in its relationship to this ongoing presence of war. From the perspective of Russia, domesticity does not appear to be an obvious object of aspiration and a stable space of return “after war.” More poignantly, domesticity turns out to constitute the shifting ground of relationships at play when people negotiate ethical commitments and achieve a form of attachment to life—what Misha called the “taste” or the “salt” of life.
This article examines how Studio Ghibli constructs the mundane activities shown in their films as spectacular. Looking at the history of the ways in which domestic and routine events are depicted in ...Japanese animation, I will use various methodologies, beginning with formalism and phenomenology before moving on to feminism and Marxism to critically analyse several Ghibli films as case studies – My Neighbors The Yamadas (1999, Hōhokekyo Tonari no Yamada kun), Only Yesterday (1991, Omoide Poro Poro), and Howl’s Moving Castle (2004, Hauru no Ugoku Shiro). Using these methodologies, the films are placed into a broader cinematic context, and the filmic legacy of their treatment of the mundane is explored.
The Owens Valley Paiute, traditional caretakers of the “Land of Flowing Water,” face continued threats to their livelihood due to decades of water extraction from the region by the city of Los ...Angeles. The precarious state of Indigenous lands and peoples across California is entangled with historical processes supported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the off-reservation boarding school system. During the first half of the twentieth century, Paiute, Mission Indian and other Indigenous youth were sent to the Sherman Institute in Riverside, the last of twenty-five boarding schools to be built and operated by the BIA. Accompanying its Mission Revival style façade and the associated narratives of racial uplift, the school aimed to distance students from tribal affiliations, teaching them Anglo, heteropatriarchal forms of domesticity, and training them to become wage laborers in the farming, construction, and domestic service trades. After graduation, many students were employed by the federal government to convert tribal lands to agricultural plots and private property, while many others found low-wage, unskilled positions in the building and maintenance of Southern California’s expanding metropolis. This paper investigates the role of the Sherman Institute in the exploitation of Indigenous lands and labor for regional development, and therefore, the production of racialized precarity for Indigenous peoples. By engaging with Indigenous epistemologies, the paper works to stretch the limits of history/theory, to expose systems of confinement for their racialized underpinnings, and to introduce more fluid conceptions of land, property, and personhood.
