Abstract

In deze publicatie onderzoekt Rosa Ainley hoe lesbiennes zichzelf zien en de vraag naar identiteit die de lesbische gemeenschap altijd gedefinieerd en verdeeld heeft. De auteur beschrijft de periode van de jaren 1950, met zijn representatieve invloed op seksualiteit in het algemeen, de zogenaamde seksuele revolutie van de jaren 1960 tot de vrijheden en grenzen van het (lesbische) feminisme van de jaren 1970. Ainley deconstrueert de bizarre populaire mythes en stereotypen die vaak rond het schemergebied rond lesbianisme hangen en vervangt ze door de uiteenlopende natuur van de lesbische subcultuur, die in de loop van de late twintigste eeuw is geëvolueerd.

Abstract

Changing Sex takes a bold new approach to the study of transsexualism in the twentieth century. By addressing the significance of medical technology to the phenomenon of transsexualism, Bernice L. Hausman transforms current conceptions of transsexuality as a disorder of gender identity by showing how developments in medical knowledge and technology make possible the emergence of new subjectivities.

Abstract

In this study of gender relations in late colonial Mexico (ca. 1760-1821), Steve Stern analyzes the historical connections between gender, power, and politics in the lives of peasants, Indians, and other marginalized peoples. Through vignettes of everyday life, including the routine conflicts and violence that resulted from cultural arguments over gender right, he challenges assumptions about gender relations and political culture in a patriarchal society. He also reflects on continuity and change between late colonial times and the present and suggests a paradigm for understanding similar struggles over gender rights in Old Regime societies in Europe and the Americas. The historical arguments and conceptual sweep of Stern's book will inform not only students of Mexico and Latin America but also students of gender in the West and other world regions. Stern's interpretation both undermines and transcends previous perceptions of a single Latin American gender culture, including the notions of male rage and female complicity.

Abstract

Linking the personal and the political, Anna Clark depicts the making of the working class in Britain as a "struggle for the breeches." The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries witnessed significant changes in notions of masculinity and femininity, the sexual division of labor, and sexual mores, changes that were intimately intertwined with class politics. By integrating gender into the analysis of class formation, Clark transforms the traditional narrative of working-class history. Going beyond the sterile debate about whether economics or language determines class consciousness, Clark integrates working people's experience with an analysis of radical rhetoric. Focusing on Lancashire, Glasgow, and London, she contrasts the experience of artisans and textile workers, demonstrating how each created distinctively gendered communities and political strategies. Workers faced a "sexual crisis," Clark claims, as men and women competed for jobs and struggled over love and power in the family. While some radicals espoused respectability, others might be homophobes, wife-beaters, and tyrants at home a radical's love of liberty could be coupled with lust for the life of a libertine. Clark shows that in trying to create a working class these radicals closed off the movement to women, instead adopting a conservative rhetoric of domesticity and narrowing their notion of the working class.

Abstract

Est-ce le sexe qui fait la société ? Mais qu'est-ce qui fait le sexe ? Pendant des siècles les réponses ont paru évidentes, mais aujourd'hui il n'en est plus ainsi. La frontière des sexes apparaît toujours plus incertaine à mesure que les recherches s'approfondissent. Les enquêtes ethnographiques et les découvertes archéologiques montrent que ni la nature seule, ni la culture seule ne peuvent expliquer les contrastes que chaque société reconnaît entre l'homme et la femme. Cette ambivalence est explorée sous ses multiples manifestations au fil des chapitres de ce livre. (PUF)

Abstract

Een boek samenstellen over lesbische erotiek is niet evident. Ten eerste 'bestaat' lesbische erotiek nog maar sinds de seksuele revolutie. Ten tweede is er weinig overeenstemming over wat lesbische erotiek precies betekent. Ten derde heeft lesbische erotiek de laatste twintig jaar een hele reeks controverses doen ontstaan, zowel binnen de feministische beweging in haar geheel als binnen de lesbische feministische beweging Karla Jay heeft drie soorten bijdragen in deze essaybundel opgenomen: bijdragen die verhalen over persoonlijke ervaringen, theorieën rond lesbianisme en lesbische erotiek, en artikelen over het statuut van de lesbische erotiek in film en literatuur.

Abstract

Men and women in early modern England lived their lives within a social and gender framework inherited from biblical times. Patriarchy - the social and cultural dominance of the male - has long been a fundamental feature of western civilization, yet has only recently begun to be systematically investigated by historians. Fletcher's account draws from a vast range of sources to investigate the mechanisms through which men and women interpreted and understood their social worlds. He explores the early modern view of the body, of sexual desire and appetites, and of gender difference. He looks at the nature of marital relationships, and shows how subordination was implemented and consolidated through church, school, home and community. He also exposes patriarchy's tragic consequences: smothered opportunity, crushed sexuality, and a pall across many women's lives. Yet, over these three centuries, the conventional foundations of male superiority came under acute pressure. Fletcher reveals the depth of male anxiety in the face of women's volatility, verbal assertiveness and alleged vibrant sexuality, and shows how the gender system began to be transformed as men sought to detach it from its biblical foundations and inculcate gender identities on something like their modern ideological basis. This revolution in the entire premise upon which gender was grounded is fundamental to an understanding of the structure of English society today.
