Abstract

Through examining some of the everyday items that helped establish a person's masculinity or femininity, this book offers a new analysis of gender identity in early modern English literature and culture. Individual chapters focus on items such as codpieces, handkerchiefs, beards, and hair. Fisher argues that these seemingly peripheral parts were in fact constitutive, and consequently, that early modern gender was materialized through a relatively wide range of parts or features, and that it was also often conceptualized as being malleable. The book deliberately brings together sexual characteristics (beard growth and hair length) and gendered accessories (codpieces and handkerchiefs) in order to explore the limitations of using the modern conceptual distinction between sex and gender to understand early modern ideas about masculinity and femininity. Materializing Gender engages with a range of historical materials including drama, poetry, portraiture, medical texts, and polemical tracts, and a range of theoretical issues.

Abstract

In dit relaas van acht eeuwen feminisme en privaat leven in China gaan de geschiedenis van de vrouwen en die van technologie hand in hand. Het stelt de traditionele misvatting in vraag die Chinese vrouwen in een keurslijf dwingt, waarin zij worden beroofd van alle rechten en vrijheden, dermate belemmerd in hun doen en laten dat ze onmogelijk aan het productieproces konden deelnemen. De auteur stelt het concept gynotechniek voor, een reeks alledaagse technologische hulpmiddelen die de rol van de vrouwen in de maatschappij helpen te bepalen. Zij wil hierbij op een creatieve wijze de morele en sociale principes van de samenleving vertelen in een netwerk van materiële vormen en lichamelijke praktijken.

Abstract

Dit werk analyseert de interrelatie tussen gender en technologie, of hoe gender-terminologie is verwerkt in de technologie en hoe technologie invloed uitoefent op de gender-notie. Hierbij wordt de verhouding tussen zin en afschuw voor technologie behandeld, en de ambivalente houding van met name vrouwen tegenover machines.

Abstract

The history of footbinding is full of contradictions and unexpected turns. The practice originated in the dance culture of China's medieval court and spread to gentry families, brothels, maid's quarters, and peasant households. Conventional views of footbinding as patriarchal oppression often neglect its complex history and the incentives of the women involved. This revisionist history, elegantly written and meticulously researched, presents a fascinating new picture of the practice from its beginnings in the tenth century to its demise in the twentieth century. Neither condemning nor defending foot-binding, Dorothy Ko debunks many myths and misconceptions about its origins, development, and eventual end, exploring in the process the entanglements of male power and female desires during the practice's thousand-year history. Cinderella's Sisters argues that rather than stemming from sexual perversion, men's desire for bound feet was connected to larger concerns such as cultural nostalgia, regional rivalries, and claims of male privilege. Nor were women hapless victims, the author contends. Ko describes how women-those who could afford it-bound their own and their daughters' feet to signal their high status and self-respect. Femininity, like the binding of feet, was associated with bodily labor and domestic work, and properly bound feet and beautifully made shoes both required exquisite skills and technical knowledge passed from generation to generation. Throughout her narrative, Ko deftly wields methods of social history, literary criticism, material culture studies, and the history of the body and fashion to illustrate how a practice that began as embodied lyricism-as a way to live as the poets imagined-ended up being an exercise in excess and folly.

Abstract

Dit boek bevat een reeks bijdragen over de verhouding tussen representatie, technowetenschap en gender, daarbij gebruik makend van de metafoor van de cyborg. Volgens de auteurs biedt de cyborg nieuwe mogelijkheden om de relatie tussen vrouwen en machines, cultuur en technologie opnieuw te bekijken. Zij vragen zich eveneens af of de cyborg de verhouding tussen wetenschap en gender in vraag stelt, of er eenvoudigweg een ander perspectief op biedt.

Abstract

Gender Hate Online addresses the dynamic nature of misogyny: how it travels, what technological and cultural affordances support or obstruct this and what impact reappropriated expressions of misogyny have in other cultures. It adds significantly to an emergent body of scholarship on this topic by bringing together a variety of theoretical approaches, while also including reflections on the past, present, and future of feminism and its interconnections with technologies and media. It also addresses the fact that most work on this area has been focused on the Global North, by including perspectives from Pakistan, India and Russia as well as intersectional and transcultural analyses. Finally, it addresses ways in which women fight back and reclaim online spaces, offering practical applications as well as critical analyses. This edited collection therefore addresses a substantial gap in scholarship by bringing together a body of work exclusively devoted to this topic. With perspectives from a variety of disciplines and geographic bases, the volume will be of major interest to scholars and students in the fields of gender, new media and hate speech.
