Abstract

Estos ensayos son parte del legado de la extensa y fructífera vida académica de Gabriela Mora, profesora de literatura hispanoamericana en Estados Unidos. En este libro se reúnen algunos de sus ensayos, destacando sobre todo dos campos en los que se le ha reconocido como crítica atenta a la teoría y análisis de la narrativa y como pionera en la lectura feminista de la literatura. El aporte de Mora destaca por su innovación, sensibilidad y agudeza, tanto en el momento de su publicación como en la actualidad. Más que una compilación de textos, lo que tenemos es un panorama crítico de algunos de los aspectos más importantes de la creación literaria latinoamericana y, en retrospectiva, una contribución a la historia de la crítica acerca de autoras como Gabriela Mistral, Elena Garro o Cristina Peri Rossi, y de autores como García Márquez y Rulfo, cuya obra la inteligente lectura de la ensayista ha iluminado. En estos textos destaca la mirada aguda de su autora y su análisis detenido de las obras, en que realza a la vez el placer estético y el sentido ético o político de muchas de ellas.

Abstract

Dans «De la marge au centre. Théorie féministe», son deuxième essai paru en 1984, Bell Hooks poursuit la réflexion entamée dans «Ne suis-je pas une femme?» Elle s'intéresse cette fois-ci aux succès et aux manquements des mouvements féministes des années 1900 à 1980, qui selon elle ont échoué à créer un féminisme de masse qui s'adresse à toutes les femmes. Bell Hooks nous offre un livre coup de poing dans lequel elle pousse les réflexions dans leurs retranchements, tout en préservant un style d'écriture accessible. Elle bouleverse les représentations habituelles de la pensée féministe majoritaire en mettant sur le devant de la scène les femmes noires et/ou les femmes des milieux populaires, en insistant sur le besoin profond d'une approche révolutionnaire du féminisme [4e de couverture ]

Abstract

We live in an era when all bodies are potentially 'feminised' by being rendered 'open-access' for biomedical research and clinical practice. Adopting a theoretically sophisticated and practical approach, Property in the Body: Feminist Perspectives rejects the notion that the sale of bodily tissue enhances the freedom of the individual through an increase in moral agency. Combining feminist theory and bioethics, it also addresses the omissions which are inherent in policy analysis and academic debate. For example, whilst women's tissue is particularly central to new biotechnologies, the requirement for female labour is largely ignored in subsequent evaluation. In its fully revised second edition, this book also considers how policies and developments vary between countries and within specific areas of biomedicine itself. Most importantly, it analyses the new and emerging technologies of this field whilst returning to the core questions and fears which are inextricably linked to the commercialisation of the body.

Abstract

"Professeure émérite de science politique à l'Université Paris 8, Eleni Varikas compte parmi les introductrices du concept de genre en France. En l'affinant dès les années 1990 du côté de ce qu'elle nomme "conscience de genre", elle s'est attachée à renouveler l'historiographie en insistant sur les enjeux épistémologiques des notions de conscientisation ou d'expérience vécue comme des frontières du politique. Ce recueil pensé par Isabelle Clair et Elsa Dorlin présente plusieurs de ses essais, tour à tour présentés par des compagnes et des compagnons de vie et de pensée : Michelle Perrot, Antonio Negri, Catherine Achin, Elsa Dorlin, Martine Leibovici, Michaël Löwy, Keith McClelland, Sonia Dayan-Herzbrun."

Abstract

"Despite feminism's uneven movements, it has been predominantly understood through metaphors of generations or waves. Feminism's Queer Temporalities builds on critiques of the limitations of this linear model to explore alternative ways of imagining feminism's timing. It finds in feminism's literary and cultural archive narratives of temporality that might now be diagnosed as queer, where queer designates modes of being historical that exceed the linear and the generational.Few theorists have looked to popular feminist figures, literature, and culture to theorize feminism's timing. Through methodologically creative readings, McBean explores non-generational, anti-linear, and asynchronous time in the figure of Antigone, Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time, the film Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains, Valerie Solanas and SCUM Manifesto, and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home." --

Abstract

In this contradictory era of uneven globalization, borders multiply yet fantasies of borderlessness prevail. Particularly since September 11, this paradox has shaped deeply the lives of border-crossing subjects such as the queer, the refugee, and the activist within and beyond Canadian frontiers. In search of creative ways to engage with the conundrums related to how borders mould social and bodily space, Libe García Zarranz formulates a new cross-border ethic through post-9/11 feminist and queer transnational writing in Canada. Drawing on material feminism, critical race studies, non-humanist philosophy, and affect theory, she proposes a renewed understanding of relationality beyond the lethal binaries that saturate everyday life. TransCanadian Feminist Fictions considers the corporeal, biopolitical, and affective dimensions of border crossing in the works of Dionne Brand, Hiromi Goto, Emma Donoghue, and Larissa Lai. Intersecting the genres of memoir, fiction, poetry, and young adult literature, García Zarranz shows how these texts address the permeability of boundaries and consider the ethical implications for minoritized populations. Urging readers to question the proclaimed glamours of globality, TransCanadian Feminist Fictions responds to a time of increasing inequality, mounting racism, and feminist backlash.

Abstract

In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique—often by naming and calling attention to problems—and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them. Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions—such as forming support systems—to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism. The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it.

Abstract

Cette synthèse retrace l'apparition des perspectives féministes en criminologie en questionnant les rapports entre sexe, genre et science, de façon à situer les débats criminologiques par rapport à la critique féministe de la science plus généralement. Elle décrit les différentes formes de la délinquance féminine, leurs impacts sur la santé et les politiques publiques qui s'y rapportent. [Electre]
