Latin American Feminism Today

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

This book explores zombies, vampires, and witches in contemporary popular culture from a feminist perspective, analyzing a range of novels, television series, and films. Though some popular texts (from Harry Potter to Twilight) still use historically inherited conventions, many millennial texts (like True Blood, Maleficent, and The Walking Dead) utilize feminist-friendly monster-figures to critique regressive patriarchal ideologies, champion female monstrosity and female agency, and/or envision alternative socio-cultural formations. This book contributes to discussions in feminism, popular culture, gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, film studies, and contemporary literature.

This book explores three monstrous figures prominent in contemporary popular culture—zombies, vampires, and witches—from a feminist perspective, visiting a range of novels, television series, and films from the 1990s-2010s. Though some popular mainstream texts (from Harry Potter to Twilight) still participate in historically inherited conventions, feminist analysis reveals that many millennial texts utilize monster-figures to critique regressive patriarchal ideologies and/or champion female monstrosity and (human) female agency. Rather than using zombies, vampires, and witches to conserve the status quo, millennial monsters and human heroes, especially female ones, are often deployed to envision a more feminist, egalitarian future with less violence and more social justice. In a culture in which post-feminist voices contend that feminists have achieved their aims and are thus no longer needed, this book argues instead that there still is a dire need for critical, active feminism. Monsters, creatures both incredibly potent and popular, can serve as conduits through which to lay bare existing problems and reveal possible ways forward. Popular texts like True Blood, Frozen, Maleficent, World War Z, and The Walking Dead use powerful female monsters and heroes not only to resist those forces that wish to maintain the status quo, but also to envision alternative socio-cultural formations. This book will contribute to essential discussions in feminism, popular culture, gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, film studies, and contemporary literature.

Foundations in Global Studies

From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this student-friendly text presents a brief historical overview of women's status in the lead-up to the contemporary era and a brief history of women's and gender studies. Students are guided through the key concepts and the theoretical constructs that define the global context of women and gender, and and understanding of how theory meets reality. A final section uses case studies to examine theory and practice at work in particular situations across disciplines and across regions.

From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this student-friendly text follows a three-pronged approach. First, it presents foundational material that gives students the conceptual underpinnings required for rigorous analysis. This section opens with a brief historical overview of women’s status in the lead-up to the contemporary era and a brief history of women’s and gender studies. Following this, the text will then present key concepts and theoretical constructs that define the global context of women and gender, such as transnational feminisms, cultural agency, family organization, class structure, race, and ethnicity. The second part of the book examines the space where theory meets reality. It touches on such topics as the condition of women in today’s world, women’s roles in human rights and social justice movements, women and economic empowerment, international instruments and organizations dedicated to women’s issues, and the like. The third section employs case studies to examine theory and practice at work in particular situations. The case studies have been selected with an eye toward comprehensiveness of coverage across disciplines and across regions.

Routledge Advances in Sociology

This edited collection explores dramatic transformations in intimate life in contemporary Ireland, including the introduction of both divorce and civil partnerships. Yet intimate politics remain contested and abortions must be obtained abroad. Ireland offers fascinating insights into the influence of the media, and shifting cultural and social norms. The chapters examine these changes with research by leading scholars.

This edited collection explores the dramatic transformations in intimate life that have taken place in Ireland in recent years. A new multiculturalism, availability of divorce and the introduction of civil partnership for same sex couples all herald significant changes in Irish life. Divorce and solo parenthood are no longer the taboos they once were. Women participate in employment after marriage in far greater numbers than ever before. Yet certain patterns of intimate life remain entrenched. Abortions must still be obtained abroad. Lengthy separations are required before divorce can be formalised. An emphasis on traditional family forms underpins people’s experiences of infertility and assisted reproduction. The contemporary landscape for intimate life in Ireland offers fascinating insights into new and old family forms, the influence of the media, and changing cultural and social norms. This edited book explores these changes in a collection of chapters by leading scholars showcasing cutting edge theory and research.

Linda Burnett offers a genuinely new perspective on motherhood, arguing that most feminist scholarship is unduly reluctant to acknowledge the role of biological and material factors involved. The importance of embodiment and affect in recent critical work makes this a timely intervention into research on motherhood which will be of interest to a range of scholars and students.

Maternal Subjectivities and Embodied Experiences

The Neurology of Motherhood

This book explores the ways in which Latin American writers produced aesthetic and political discourses on World War I as a Latin American literary event. Siskind sheds light on the possibility of understanding World War I not just as a European affair, but also as a privileged symbolic horizon against which some of the most important Latin American writers of that period worked through collective and individual anxieties. This corpus sheds light on the interwoven meaning of the nation, modernity, cosmopolitan ethical demands, and the globalization of mass violence. It proposes productive dialogues and polemics with the fields of war literature and global modernisms.

This book explores the ways in which Latin American poets, novelists, journalists, public intellectuals, and a vast number of unknown soldier-memorialists produced aesthetic and political discourses on World War I as a Latin American literary event. Siskind presents a unified Latin American corpus that sheds light on the possibility of understanding World War I not just as a European affair, but also as a privileged symbolic horizon against which some of the most important Latin American writers of that period worked through collective and individual anxieties. This corpus sheds light on the interwoven meaning of the nation, modernity, cosmopolitan ethical demands, and the globalization of mass violence. The book interrogates wars (and world wars in particular) as they break down and rearrange the spatial meaning of particular world mappings, and how Latin American writers anxious about their place in the universalized order of modernity might have perceived these shifts as an opportunity to negotiate symbolic re-inscriptions of their political and aesthetic horizon. Looking at texts on ruins and trenches, on spies and politics, on everyday life and affective engagements with the traumatic core of the war, this book unveils a historical and literary archive that reconceptualizes and expands the globality of World War I, inscribing Latin American writers in its discursive making. It proposes productive dialogues and polemics with the fields of British, French, and German war literature (whether modernist, moralist, or sentimental), as well as with the emerging critical discourses of postcolonial war literature and global modernisms.

On the Globality of World War I

Women and Society around the World

This volume captures how women's education is shaped by the lived context of women and girls around the world, focusing on the cultural construction of gender, political economy, religion, and history.

In some parts of the world, women's education remains a controversial topic, and many girls are not allowed equal access or any access at all to schooling. This volume examines what education is like for women and girls across the globe.

This book examines in regional chapters such topics as early marriage and child brides, safety and sexual vulnerability of schoolgirls, and cultural and religious opposition to girls' schooling in the non-West, in addition to the added burdens of managing menstruation at school and the disruption of armed conflict and violence in war-torn nations. Such topics as machismo, backlash to girls' success, and sexual harassment in educational environments are covered too. 

Written by a cultural anthropologist, the book shows how cultural perspectives about women's education impact the daily lives of girls and women. It provides context for how the lives of women in those countries may be shaped by political economy, religion, and history. High school students, undergraduates, and general readers will be able to make cross-cultural comparisons of women's education around the world.

Genders & Sexualities in Minds & Cultures

In this landmark collection of original essays, originally published in 1989, outstanding feminist critics in Britain, France, and the United States present new perspectives on feminism and psychoanalysis, opening out deadlocked debates. The discussion ranges widely, with contributions from feminists identified with different, often opposed views on psychoanalytic criticism. The contributors reassess the history of Lacanian psychoanalysis and feminism and explore the significance of its institutional context and write against the received views on 'French feminism' and essentialism. This Classic Edition of the book features a new introduction.
