Download or read book Pax Feminica written by Ajit Chaudhuri and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a society ruled by women, where women are the administrators, judges, and military commanders. Would it be free of want, injustice, and violence, as feminists would have us believe, or would it be much the same as any other society? This novel describes such a world, with its rules and norms and its philosophical underpinnings, from the viewpoint of patriarchal outsiders. Two middle-aged male wannabe adventurers, one an inveterate womanizer and the other a family man, stumble upon this world via a series of accidents in this work that takes the reader from Delhi and Kiev to a remote valley in the Indian Himalayas and flits between the thirteenth century, when Mongol hordes invaded Europe and a group of women decided that they had had enough of men, and the previous decade.

Download or read book Motherhood written by Andrea O'Reilly and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In feminism, the institution of mothering/motherhood has been a highly contested area in how it relates to the oppression of women. As Adrienne Rich articulated in her classic 1976 book Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution, although motherhood as an institution is a male-defined site of oppression, women's own experiences of mothering can nonetheless be a source of power. This volume examines four locations wherin motherhood is simultaneously experienced as a site of oppression and of power: emodiment, representation, practice, and separation. Motherhood: Power and Oppression includes psychological, historical, sociological, literary, and cultural approaches to inquiry and a wide range of disciplinary perspectives — qualitative, quantitative, corporeal, legal, religious, fictional, mythological, dramatic and action research. This rich collection not only covers a wide range of subject matter but also illustrates ways of doing feminist research and practice.

Download or read book Excerptiones de Prisciano written by Aelfric (Abbot of Eynsham.) and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2002 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition of 10th-century compendium of grammatical lore, second only in importance to Ælfric's own Grammar. When the famous Anglo-Saxon scholar Ælfric wrote the first grammar in a European vernacular, he used as his direct source the Excerptiones de Prisciano excerpts from major curriculum authors of the medieval schools, including Donatus, Isidore and Priscian himself . The tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably compiled by Ælfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical lore, and it is, with the exception of Ælfric's own Grammar, arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time, the Excerptiones appear with all scholia, an English translation, and a full contextual introduction. DAVID W. PORTER is Professor of English, Southern University, Baton Rouge.

Download or read book Horace on Poetry written by C. O. Brink and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982, this is the culminating volume in Professor Brink's great study of Horace's critical writings. The book contains a full edition of the Letters to Augustus and Florus, presented on the same lines as that of the Ars Poetica in the preceding volume. The edition is followed by a very detailed commentary which seeks to justify his text of the poems, and on this basis leads to an assessment of style and subject matter in the two epistles. In the second half an attempt is made to unravel the complexities of Horace's mode of composition and to determine the scope of the critical epistles against the background of Augustan poetry. The complete three-volume commentary constitutes one of the fullest scholarly commentaries on Horace's critical writing. It will continue to be of great value to all with an interest in this much-debated subject.

Download or read book We Are Not Born Submissive written by Manon Garcia and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosophical exploration of female submission, using insights from feminist thinkers—especially Simone de Beauvoir—to reveal the complexities of women’s reality and lived experience What role do women play in the perpetuation of patriarchy? On the one hand, popular media urges women to be independent, outspoken, and career-minded. Yet, this same media glorifies a specific, sometimes voluntary, female submissiveness as a source of satisfaction. In philosophy, even less has been said on why women submit to men and the discussion has been equally contradictory—submission has traditionally been considered a vice or pathology, but female submission has been valorized as innate to women’s nature. Is there a way to explore female submission in all of its complexity—not denying its appeal in certain instances, and not buying into an antifeminist, sexist, or misogynistic perspective? We Are Not Born Submissive offers the first in-depth philosophical exploration of female submission, focusing on the thinking of Simone de Beauvoir, and more recent work in feminist philosophy, epistemology, and political theory. Manon Garcia argues that to comprehend female submission, we must invert how we examine power and see it from the woman’s point of view. Historically, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and even some radical feminists have conflated femininity and submission. Garcia demonstrates that only through the lens of women’s lived experiences—their economic, social, and political situations—and how women adapt their preferences to maintain their own well-being, can we understand the ways in which gender hierarchies in society shape women’s experiences. Ultimately, she asserts that women do not actively choose submission. Rather, they consent to—and sometimes take pleasure in—what is prescribed to them through social norms within a patriarchy. Moving beyond the simplistic binary of natural destiny or moral vice, We Are Not Born Submissive takes a sophisticated look at how female submissiveness can be explained.
