Queenship and Power

This book encounters the figure of the royal woman in the early modern period and explores how she enables and complicates the key moment at which England was emerging as an ideology, a nation, and an empire. Queens and queens consort, historical and fictional, played crucial roles in Renaissance England’s shifting ideologies of nationalist identity. This collection considers how a series of royal women particularly embodied and complicated these many self-constructions of England and complex renditions of “the other.”The period’s influential female monarchs certainly made the queen’s political body more visibly politicized, repatriated, and racialized; these same historical royals were represented as icons of nationalism in many forms and functions. In fictional incarnations, royal women created by the English imagination symbolized and structured those same nation-building narratives. This volume studies royal women’s writings alongside such depictions of royal women, especially as such works collectively enable emergent English ideologies of nationalism and racialization.Elizabeth Hodgson is a Professor in the Department of English Language &amp; Literatures at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She specializes in early modern poetry and prose, gender politics and spiritual cultures.Sarah Crover is a Professor in the Department of English at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, Canada.

The Queen's Gambit

Nationalism and Royal Women in Early Modern England

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

Studien zur Kindheits- und Jugendforschung

Jugendszenen wie Gothic und Metal sind, wie auch andere jugendkulturelle Phänomene, Räume, in denen Geschlechterrollen verhandelt, neu gestaltet oder reproduziert werden. Tina-Berith Schrader untersucht in diesem Buch mithilfe der dokumentarischen Methode anhand von Gruppendiskussionen auf Musikfestivals, wie Geschlecht in diesen Szenen erlebt und ausgehandelt wird und welche Auswirkungen dies auf Partizipation, Praktiken und Stile hat. Dabei wird ein breites Spektrum theoretischer Ansätze aus der Geschlechter- und Jugendkulturforschung berücksichtigt. Die Forschungsergebnisse beleuchten vier zentrale Kontexte, darunter die Szene als alternativer sozialer Raum und das Musikfestival als Ort geschlechtsspezifischer Erfahrungen. Ergänzt wird dies durch eine Typologie, die Szenenspezifik und gemeinsame Erfahrungsräume sichtbar macht.

Jugendszenen als geschlechtsbezogene Erfahrungsräume

<div>Textiles have been a highly valued part of many Indigenous societies across the world and over millennia. This pathbreaking book examines the large woven ceremonial cloths known as pua kumbu, long associated with the Iban peoples of the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia. In both scholarly and popular studies of these sacred cloths, the process of creating pua kumbu is identified explicitly with the women who weave them, using oral tradition for the passing on of designs and practice, in a task that is skilful, physically demanding and strenuous. Based on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative engagement with a longhouse community, this study seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually. It is framed around a number of key themes: the origins, symbolism and use of the cloths; the place of female weavers in Iban society; the creative tension between conservation, innovation and transformation; and the significance of insider Indigenous knowledge for sustainable community development. Enriching Iban Pua Kumbu is a valuable work for advanced students, researchers and general readers interested in the intersection of material culture, social status and community engagement, such as cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, economists, museum curators and historians.</div><div><div>

&lt;p&gt;The edited volume explores the causes, forms, and cultures of gender-based violence in society, including how children are educated, how games, art and even language promote differences, stereotypes, neutrality between men and women. It is a place to reflect on the growing importance of tolerance, diversity and acceptance of others. The book focuses on many facets, whether in a confined or public space, with a series of empirical and theoretical chapters from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;The volume provides key contemporary commentary on the changing dynamics of gender-based violence. It unveils a range of contexts and spaces in which gender-based violence happens, showcasing its scale and impact worldwide. The discussions presented in the book encourage a critical reflection on the global pandemic of gender-based violence, prompting a vital question about the sufficiency and effectiveness of responses to this global crisis (Professor Olga Jurasz, The Open University Law School).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This Palgrave Pivot offers insight into the factors that influence, motivate and inform young men’s online experiences. In Australia and globally recent media and public discourse has expressed strong concerns about the gender-based harms arising from young men’s online behaviours – these concerns have prompted renewed scrutiny on boys and masculinity and produced a sense of urgency around addressing these online harms. They have provided a strong warrant for research that seeks to better understand how young men are navigating their online worlds. This book presents findings from a qualitative study of 117 young men in Australia. In foregrounding a diversity of young men’s voices, the book responds to calls for more nuance and care in how we debate the gendered impact of social media on young men’s lives. As such we highlight the tensions and complexities in how young men navigate negative and positive online experiences including their critical engagement with harmful content. Against this backdrop, the book presents a case for fostering young men’s critical digital dispositions towards more gender just engagements online. It provides a conceptual framework and series of activities for fostering these dispositions. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in critical masculinity studies, sociology, psychology, public health, and media and internet studies, as well as practitioners who work with young men.

Care - Forschung und Praxis

Familie, Sorge und Recht konstituieren ein komplexes Verhältnis. Recht ermöglicht und beschränkt Familien- und Sorgebeziehungen, es öffnet und schließt alltägliche Handlungsspielräume, es verspricht Lösungen für soziale Probleme und mobilisiert soziale Kräfte - nicht zuletzt für juristische Transformationen. Die Beiträger*innen loten die Widerspenstigkeiten aus, die diesem Verhältnis und dessen Analyse innewohnen. Mit empirischen und theoretischen Perspektiven aus Soziologie, Europäischer Ethnologie, Kulturwissenschaften, Sozialer Arbeit und Rechtswissenschaften beleuchten sie Forschungsgegenstände und Praxisfelder wie Co-Parenting und queere Lebensformen, sexualisierte Gewalt, Scheidung und Vormundschaft.

"This volume delves into the pivotal and timely subject of female leadership in Africa and the Middle East. It examines the paradox whereby women continue to achieve remarkable educational successes; while confronting enduring obstacles to the authentic acknowledgment of their leadership within the spheres of power. An exceptional and insightful contribution to contemporary discourses surrounding the multifaceted roles of women in challenging and dismantling entrenched structures of power and authority in leadership positions at all levels."—Fatima Sadiqi, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar"Born of an unusual collaboration and boldly bestriding two major regions of the world, this book intentionally inscribes African and Middle Eastern experiences, scholarship, and perspectives in the accounts of women’s engagements with leadership in those regions. The chapters cover a broad range of leadership contexts, disrupt previously held theories of women’s leadership, and accord theoretical and analytical respect and dignity to the people and places included in this study. Scholars, students, leaders, and policy makers have much to learn from it."—Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso, Brandeis University, USAHistory demonstrates that&nbsp;women’s ascent to or absence from leadership positions is contingent on the various political, cultural, social, and professional contexts they are situated in. This edited collection on women and leadership is a contribution in this regard. It aims to re-conceptualize the contexts that either enable or restrain women’s ascent to leadership positions, by drawing on&nbsp;case studies from Morocco and Nigeria as well as a widened perspective covering Africa and the Middle East. The collection includes chapters that address more specifically the policies, practices and (mis)representations affecting African and Middle Eastern women’s aspirations for leadership roles and positions. As such, it contributes to the advancement of reflection on issues related to women and leadership.Hanane Darhour is professor of English Studies, Gender and Politics at Ibn Zohr University, Morocco.
