Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un fantasma recorre los países más desarrollados: el generismo queer. Tras las grandes conquistas sociales de las últimas décadas relativas al respeto y los derechos de las personas que no encajan en los roles sexuales tradicionales, ha aparecido un nuevo transactivismo: uno que está destruyendo los logros alcanzados, que recae en concepciones retrógradas y genera problemas donde no los había. No está basado en conocimientos de la medicina, la psiquiatría o la psicología. Tampoco existe ninguna filosofía sólida que permita afirmar que se puede nacer en un cuerpo equivocado. Por el contrario, este nuevo activismo se basa en una filosofía posmoderna ya superada, en una idea particular de justicia social y en una agenda política que no se corresponde con los problemas reales de los individuos. Lo que se presenta como una revolución que por fin da voz a una realidad invisible hasta hoy puede estar encubriendo la legitimación educativa, jurídica y social de los estereotipos sexuales más conservadores. Nadie nace en un cuerpo equivocado es un brillante libro divulgativo que aborda este tema desde sus mil vertientes: la psicológica, la filosófica y la sociológica; y que atiende a fenómenos como las redes sociales, la vida en la ciudad moderna, la publicidad, la infantilización de la universidad o los problemas actuales de la infancia y la adolescencia, entre otros. Un análisis riguroso, lleno de empatía y buen humor, que se apoya en tesis fundamentadas y que invita a pensar y a desafiar el lenguaje triunfante de la teoría queer.

Download or read book The elementary structuring of patriarchy written by Menara Guizardi and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an ethnographic study on the Andean Tri-border (between Chile, Peru, and Bolivia), this volume addresses the experience of Aymara cross-border women from Bolivia employed in the rural valleys on the outskirts of Arica (Chile’s northernmost city). As protagonists of transborder mobility circuits, these women are intersectionally impacted by different forms of social vulnerability. With a feminist anthropological perspective, the book investigates how the boundaries of gender are constructed in the (multi)situated experience of these transborder women. By building a bridge between classical anthropological studies on kinship and contemporary debates on transnational and transborder mobility, the book invites us to rethink structuralist theoretical assertions on the elementary character of family alliances.

Download or read book Passing to Am rica written by Thomas A. Abercrombie and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court docket, including Don Antonio’s extended confession, in which he tells his life story, and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Ybañez of her “son María,” both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A. Abercrombie’s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/María and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to América brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio’s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of “trans” identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history. This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem)—a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses and the Association of Research Libraries—and the generous support of New York University.

Download or read book The Routledge History of Emotions in the Modern World written by Katie Barclay and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Emotions in the Modern World brings together a diverse array of scholars to offer an overview of the current and emerging scholarship of emotions in the modern world. Across thirty-six chapters, this work enters the field of emotion from a range of angles. Named emotions – love, anger, fear – highlight how particular categories have been deployed to make sense of feeling and their evolution over time. Geographical perspectives provide access to the historiographies of regions that are less well-covered by English-language sources, opening up global perspectives and new literatures. Key thematic sections are designed to intersect with critical historiographies, demonstrating the value of an emotions perspective to a range of areas. Topical sections direct attention to the role of emotions in relations of power, to intimate lives and histories of place, as products of exchanges across groups, and as deployed by new technologies and medias. The concepts of globalisation and modernity run through the volume, acting as foils for comparison and analytical tools. The Routledge History of Emotions in the Modern World is the perfect resource for all students and scholars interested in the history of emotions across the world from 1700.
Download or read book Exploring Gender and Sikh Traditions written by Doris R. Jakobsh and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers scholars who focus on gender through a variety of disciplines and approaches to Sikh Studies. The intersections of religion and gender are here explored, based on an understanding that both are socially constructed. Far from being static, as so often presented in world religions textbooks, religious traditions are constantly in flux, responding to historical, cultural and social contexts. So too is ‘the’ Sikh tradition in terms of practices, ideologies, rituals, and notions of identity. We here conclude that ‘a’ Sikh tradition does not exist; instead, there are numerous forms thereof. In this volume, Sikhism is presented as a collection of ‘Sikh traditions’. Gender studies—in line with women’s liberation, masculine and feminist studies have long examined and have long deconstructed the patriarchy, but also move to identify other subordinate-dominant relations between individuals. Indeed, there are numerous forms of discrimination and power structures that simultaneously create a multiplicity of oppression. Intersectionality has become the basis of an increasingly systematized production of contemporary discourses on feminism and gender analysis, as is evidenced by the varied contributions in this volume.
Download or read book Images of Women in Hispanic Culture written by Teresa Fernandez Ulloa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the ways traditional polarized images of women have been used and challenged in the Hispanic world, especially during the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century by writers and the media, but also in earlier time periods. The chapters analyze the image of women in specific political periods such as Francoism or the Kirchners’ administration, stereotypes of women in films in Mexico and Chile, and the representation of women in textbooks, among other topics. Contributions also show how two women writers, in the 17th and the 19th centuries, viewed the role of women in their society.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance written by Tatiana Acevedo-Guerrero and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the field of gender and water governance, exploring how the use, management and knowledge of water resources, services and the water environment are deeply gendered. In water there is a recognized gender gap between water responsibilities and water rights and bridging this gap is likely to help achieve not just goals of equity but also those of sustainability. Building on a rich legacy of feminist water scholarship, the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance is a collection of reflections and studies that can be used as a prismatic lens into a thriving and ever proliferating array of feminist water studies. It provides a clear testimony of how hydrofeminism has evolved from rather instrumental gender and water studies to scholarship that uses feminist tools to pry open, critically reflect on and formulate alternatives to water development-as-usual. The book also shows how the community of feminists interested in studying water has diversified and expanded, from often white female scholars studying projects and gender relations in the so-called Global South, to a varied mix of scholars and activists theorizing from diverse geographical and political locations – prominently including the body. It is organized into five interconnected parts: Part I: Positionality and embodied waters Part II: Revisiting water debates: diplomacy, security, justice and heritage Part III: Sanitation stories Part IV: Precarious livelihoods Part V: New feminist futures Each of these parts brings out the gendered nature of water, shedding light on the often neglected care and unpaid labour of women and its relationship with extractivism and socioeconomic inequalities. The overall aim of the handbook is to apply social science insights to water governance challenges, creating synergies and linkages between different disciplines and scientific domains. The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance is essential reading for students, scholars and professionals interested in water governance, water security, health and sanitation, gender studies and sustainable development more broadly.
Download or read book Problems in Modern Mexican History written by William H. Beezley and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexicans, since national independence, have defined their challenges as problems or dimensions in their lives. They have faced these issues alone or with others through politics, security (the military, police, or even public health squads), religion, family, and popular groups. This unique reader collects documents—texts, visuals, videos, and sounds—from organizational reports, popular expressions, and ephemeral creations to express these concerns, reveal responses, and measure successes. They allow readers to consider and discuss how these documents enabled Mexicans to evaluate their history and culture from 1810 to the present. Offering a wide variety of materials that can be tailored to the needs of individual instructors, these rich sources will stimulate critical thinking and give students new insights and often surprising respect and understanding for the ways Mexicans have managed to find humor, even magic, in their lives.

This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estamos proyectando el análisis de una metamorfosis global en la actualidad, como los cambios de identidades en el proceso de transformación cultural. En consecuencia, buscamos un concepto de intercambio cultural, como una síntesis de diferentes factores y dimensiones en el mundo multi e intercultural. Igualmente, queremos enfocar los elementos etnoecológicos, tanto regionales como globales, para el establecimiento de una visión holística y armoniosa. Además, planeamos desarrollar criterios para una Didáctica de la Cosmovisión con paradigmas nuevos del Metabolismo Cultural como una opción frente al camino actual en el marco de la globalización, concebido como unidimensional y unidireccional, que conduce a un callejón sin salida por la realización de cierta monocultura, una tendencia central, monopólica, racional, fragmentada y material que cosifica el mundo. Lograrlo implica investigar horizontes hacia una concientización y la búsqueda de una convivencia integrativa, armónica e interrelacionada, complementaria que sirva de inspiración en el sentido de un Metabolismo Cultural, como una fórmula y síntesis para convivir en un marco globalizante, sin perder la heterogeneidad de las singularidades del regionalismo biológico y cultural, algo propio de las unidades, que da sentido y función de la sustentabilidad contundente en una totalidad (Holón) continua.
Download or read book Citizen Media and Practice written by Hilde C. Stephansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking collection advances understanding of the concept of media practices by critically interrogating its relevance for the study of citizen and activist media. Media as practice has emerged as a powerful approach to understanding the media’s significance in contemporary society. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars in sociology, media and communication, social movement and critical data studies, this book stimulates dialogue across previously separate traditions of research on citizen and activist media practices and stakes out future directions for research in this burgeoning interdisciplinary field. Framed by a foreword by Nick Couldry and a substantial introductory chapter by the editors, contributions to the volume trace the roots and appropriations of the concept of media practice in Latin American communication theory; reflect on the relationship between activist agency and technological affordances; explore the relevance of the media practice approach for the study of media activism, including activism that takes media as its central object of struggle; and demonstrate the significance of the media practice approach for understanding processes of mediatization and datafication. Offering both a comprehensive introduction to scholarship on citizen media and practice and a cutting-edge exploration of a novel theoretical framework, the book is ideal for students and experienced scholars alike.
