Once dismissed as "tragedy," the commons have been making a comeback. Amid intensifying social and environmental injustices in neoliberal regimes, scholars and activists have turned to the commons - historically, the shared ownership of land - as a way to express more just ways of living within and against the grasp of capitalism. Resurgent Commons reframes the commons by foregrounding relations of care and socio-ecological reproduction, while questioning anthropocentric formulations that would render the commons a set of available resources and the product of human cooperation. Interdisciplinary in nature, Tola's book troubles universalist accounts of the commons by unearthing its ambivalent role in European colonial histories marked by racial and sexual violence and environmental destruction. As central case studies, the book considers contemporary political projects that enact feminist, anti-racist and more-than-human practices of urban commoning in Rome, a sprawling built environment in the European South that is also a city of ruins. From transfeminist commons to struggles for repairing areas where industrial ruins and recalcitrant natures coexist, to encounters with indigenous perspectives from the Americas, resurgent commons enact forms of life that are at odds with dominant regimes of property and governance. The book shows how a reconsideration of a supposedly obsolete mode of shared ownership can enable new modes of inhabiting the earth.

Cox, Sandra, Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut. (Routledge Studies in Gender, Sexuality, and Comics) 200 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-996>
ISBN 978-1-032-74808-5 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut provides timely cultural criticism of both fiction and nonfiction graphic narratives in order to reveal how social mores related to gender and sexuality have-and haven't-shifted since the turn of the twenty-first century. Beginning by tracing recurring moral panic over comics from the 1940s to the present day, the book contributes to current controversies about the form, content and audiences of American comics and graphic memoirs. Interpretations of a varied body of cartoonists' work-including Alison Bechdel, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Trung Le Nguyen and Laura Gao-are posited using various lenses drawn from intersectional feminist theory to queered approaches to popular cultural studies. Readers will be prompted to consider how visual rhetoric and textual dialogue and narration operate in tandem to produce, reflect and challenge gender norms, question stereotypes about sexual identity, and resist heteropatriarchal systems.Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut serves as an invaluable resource for scholars and students of the visual and literate arts, gender studies, cultural studies, media studies, and other many other disciplines.

Cvoro, Uros, Bosnian Girls, Art and Nationalism: Contemporary Feminist Art from Bosnia and Herzegovina. 92 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-998>
ISBN 978-1-032-78347-5 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book is the first academic study of contemporary feminist art in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).Focusing on art from BiH-a Former Yugoslav republic that has been largely overlooked in the literature-this book demonstrates the unique contributions by artists in understanding the intersection of gender and class with nationalism in a post-conflict society. Examining the historical precedents and drawing on conversations with the artists, this book examines the way in which artists present a counterpoint to the toxic normative culture of remembrance. It provides an argument for feminist art as a mode of remembrance and anti-nationalist collectivity in a region that has been subject to prolonged instability and crisis.This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, feminist studies, war and conflict studies, and European studies.

Female combatants are often central to rebel groups' outreach strategies, yet their impact on foreign support remains unclear. This Element examines how the presence of female fighters shapes international perceptions and support, drawing on original survey experiments in the United States and Tunisia as well as cross-national observational data. The findings demonstrate that foreign audiences are more likely to endorse government sponsorship of rebel groups with female combatants, perceiving them as more gender-equal, democratic, morally legitimate, and as less likely to harm civilians, even when they are agents of political violence. These favorable perceptions, in turn, increase the likelihood that democratic states will offer material support. In addition to establishing gender composition as a factor influencing external support in armed conflicts, this Element contributes to broader debates on the gender equality-peace nexus, humanitarian aid, rebel legitimacy, and gender stereotypes in nontraditional political spheres.

日本人女性と離婚の文学的物語
Sokolsky, Anne (ed.), Bold Breaks: Japanese Women and Literary Narratives of Divorce. 277 pp. 2025:11 (U. Hawai'i Pr., US) <755-756>

The various words for "divorce" in Japanese-rien, enkiri, fufu wakare, rikon-reflect how the socially constructed institutions of marriage and family, along with their dissolutions, have been understood in Japanese history and jurisprudence. Employing a broad definition of divorce as the end of a romantic union sanctioned by law, social custom, or mutual agreement, Bold Breaks: Japanese Women and Literary Narratives of Divorce explores the shifting attitudes toward divorce in literature by women from the Heian (794-1185) to Heisei (1989-2019) periods. The collection features writing by iconic authors such as Tamura Toshiko (1884-1945), Uno Chiyo (1897-1996), and Tsushima Yuko (1947-2016), who used divorce as a literary device to enable their female protagonists to take bold steps toward new lives. A coda explores more contemporary views on marriage, divorce, and romantic love in the work of novelists Itoyama Akiko (1966-) and Kawakami Mieko (1976-) and poet Saihate Tahi (1986-). A wide-ranging introduction provides an overview of the historical, legal, and literary significance of divorce in Japan. The translated texts, appearing in English for the first time, are accompanied by essays introducing the authors and offering brief analyses. Bold Breaks will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese literature and culture, particularly those interested in gender issues and family social practices, and will enrich the growing conversation on marriage and divorce across cultures and eras.

The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Corruption showcases the most innovative and exciting research being conducted in this area of study, providing a comprehensive go-to reference for all who are interested in the topic.In the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of understanding the nexus between gender and corruption; in terms of understanding the way men and women experience corruption and the differential impact of anti-corruption frameworks on men and women, as well as an understanding of how women in different spaces affect the prevalence and kinds of corruption. This Handbook examines these issues as well as the role of social and gender norms in relation to corruption. This understanding is crucial for our ability to design anti-corruption frameworks that are effective and do not create unintended consequences for any group. Despite the importance of this issue, there remains a lack of in-depth, analytical, and geographically diverse investigations into the nexus of gender and corruption. This book addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, geographically balanced treatise on gender and corruption. This book combines sectoral, thematic and country-specific studies to allow readers to easily compare differing perspectives and approaches on cutting-edge issues and their implications for gender and corruption. Key sectors such as education, politics, public procurement, healthcare, sport, sanitation and immigration are considered, as well as the role of new technologies, in supporting whistleblowing. This Handbook provides academics, practitioners, and graduate researchers of public policy, public administration, law, and anti-corruption with all of the tools they need to understand the nuances of gender and corruption.

女性と共和主義

The history of republican philosophy has long been regarded as an exclusively male endeavour. In recent years, scholars have highlighted and restored the undeniable republican contributions of a select group of women. Berges and Coffee here collect ten essays that examine the important philosophical contributions made by women to the history of republican political thought. The contributors reveal the depth and richness of women's political thought within the republican paradigm. They highlight the history of women's exclusion in republican discourse, not only as citizens and thinkers but even within the masculine-coded language and ideas embedded in its key terms, such as virtue, that have been transmitted across generations. Alongside chapters on figures whose republican contribution has been well attested, such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Catharine Macaulay, the volume also highlights the work of lesser known republican scholars, including by French (Louise de Keralio, Germaine de Stael), Italian (Rosa Califronia), Brazilian (Nisia Floresta), Turkish (Halide Edip, Nezihe Muhiddin) and African American women (Maria Stewart, Harriet Jacobs, Anna Julia Cooper). Women in Republicanism broadens the conversation about republican history from its Anglo and North American core to embrace a more global understanding, particularly in the context of emancipatory struggle.

In this groundbreaking volume, editor Wallace Swan, and co-editors Chris R. Surfus, and Dallas S. Drake assemble an impressive collection of scholarly perspectives examining the complex relationship between LGBTQIA+ communities and public health crises. From the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s to COVID-19 and Mpox, this comprehensive work analyzes how pandemics disproportionately impact marginalized populations and how institutional responses have evolved over time. Contributors explore the critical intersection of public health policy, social equity, and community resilience through a multidisciplinary lens.Drawing on extensive research and firsthand experiences, the book reveals how LGBTQIA+ communities have mobilized in response to inadequate governmental action, creating their own support systems and advocacy networks. Chapters examine intersectional health disparities, the role of nonprofit organizations, bureaucratic responses, and the political dimensions of public health funding. By "connecting the dots" between multiple pandemics affecting LGBTQIA+ populations, the contributors provide a framework for understanding how social marginalization shapes health outcomes and how inclusive, evidence-based approaches can create more equitable responses to public health emergencies.Highlighting both historical failures and emerging best practices in pandemic response, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community advocates. It further stands as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ communities during health crises and the path toward more just and effective public health systems.

恐ろしい梅毒－近世ロンドンにおける性と病気

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, venereal disease, or the 'pox,' was a dreaded diagnosis throughout Europe. Its ghastly marks, along with their inexorable link to sex, were so stigmatizing that it was commonly called 'the secret disease.' How do we capture everyday experiences of a disease that so few people admitted having? Olivia Weisser's remarkable history invites readers into the teeming, vibrant pox-riddled streets of early modern London. She uncovers the lives of the poxed elite as well as of the maidservants and prostitutes who left few words behind, showing how marks of the disease offered a language for expressing acts that were otherwise unutterable. This new history of sex, stigma, and daily urban life takes readers down alleys where healers peddled their tinctures, enters kitchens and gardens where ordinary sufferers made cures, and listens in on intimate exchanges between patients and healers in homes and in taverns.

This comprehensive book study comprises two volumes, and the topics covered in this second volume are a continuation of those presented in the first volume. The main reason for this is that numerous issues related to the situation of women in business and society await solutions, and they have become too numerous to be addressed in a single book. Our aim in this study is to explore how technological developments impact women and to contribute to the literature by elucidating the fundamental requirements for entrepreneurship, leadership, sustainability, and gender equality in the digital society. The most important feature of the study that distinguishes it from other works is that it presents the experiences of different countries in all aspects, employing an interdisciplinary approach by authors with diverse field experience. Our women and girls constitute the segment of society that needs the most support, and we all have responsibilities in this regard. As editors and authors, we are pleased and honored to address these issues and raise awareness through collaborative efforts. Those who read this work and contribute to disseminating the information it contains to society will also act with a sense of responsibility, supporting the security of our future. We want to thank all our stakeholders in advance for their prompt action on this matter. We hope that the book will serve as a helpful step toward further action.

War Economy: Gendered Circuits of Violence and Capital examines the war economy from feminist perspectives, bringing fresh thinking in the context of heightened geopolitical tensions.The book challenges the common understanding of war economy as a state-driven, top-down project necessitated by a conflictual international order. It introduces the concept of gendered circuits of violence - different types of violence across space and time - to conceptually and empirically link crises and wars through flows of capital, bodies, weapons and militarized technologies. The book deals with real-world conflicts, including in Gaza and Russia/Ukraine as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Liberia, and Mexico. With increasing calls for the development of a war economy, especially in Europe, and broad acceptance that the global political economy is rapidly being primed for war, the book's feminist political economy analysis and alternatives are vital and urgent.War Economy will appeal to students, scholars and policymakers in the areas of International Political Economy, Politics and International Relations, Gender Studies, Security Studies, and War, Peace, and Conflict Studies.

Heine, Frederic, The Gender Politics of Monetary Governance in Germany and the Eurozone: Masculinity, Metaphor and Money. (RIPE Series in Global Political Economy) 198 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-236>
ISBN 978-1-032-58435-5 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

The Gender Politics of Monetary Governance in Germany and the Eurozone provides a nuanced reading of how gender politics matter in monetary governance, contributing to a gendered critique of the political economy of Germany and the Eurozone and to efforts of 'de-patriarchalising' monetary and economic governance.While gender aspects of economic governance have increasingly been made visible in critical scholarship, less focus has been placed on the role of masculinities and of monetary governance. This book shows that the intersection of gender politics and monetary governance plays a fundamental role in the making of the political economy. It argues that, materially, monetary governance amplifies gendered power hierarchies in (re)productive relations. Culturally, gendered narratives play an important role in performing the credibility and legitimacy of monetary governance. They do so by metaphorically making sense of monetary policy through masculinised gender qualities of authority, (self-) control, toughness, while disavowing feminised qualities such as temptation and excess. The book shows how these narratives have been mobilised at key junctures to promote a prioritisation of monetary and fiscal 'discipline' in German economic history, the institutional design of EMU and in the governance of the Eurozone crisis. These narratives are vital in producing opportunities for some and restricting them for others, enabling particular, hierarchical, forms of accumulation while foreclosing possibilities for different ways of doing economic relations. Yet, meanings are contingent, incomplete, and open to challenge, and thus monetary governance can be re-signified in order to facilitate social thriving beyond the strictures of heteronormativity and austerity.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars researching International Political Economy, Gender and Politics, Men & Masculinity Studies, Economic Sociology and Cultural Economy, and European Studies.

Sori, Iztok / Hrzenjak, Majda (eds.), Transformations of Labour through the Lens of Sex Work: Navigating Digitalisation, Precarity and Resistance. 232 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-304>
ISBN 978-1-041-07500-4 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This volume engages with the question of how labour is transforming under late capitalism, and what insights the study of sex work offers into these transformations.Presenting case studies from the global North, this book situates sex work within the frameworks of neoliberal governance, digitalization, platformization, and gig economy to examine how economic relations, labour practices, and activism are changing under these conditions. It demonstrates that sex work offers a powerful lens through which to understand the contradictions of contemporary labour regimes: autonomy bound up with precarity, visibility with surveillance, and agency with algorithmic control. The book highlights the mobility and agency of labouring subjectivities showing how resistance often emerges through strategic engagement with the very structures produced by neoliberalism. While affirming the importance of legal recognition of sex work, the book contend that this alone is insufficient to disrupt the broader systems of exclusion and inequality experienced by sex workers and embedded in late capitalist economies.This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced readers engaged in debates on labour, sexuality, and political economy. It is particularly relevant to those working in critical labour studies, feminist theory, sociology, and socio-legal research, as well as to policymakers and activists concerned with labour rights and social justice.

For most of Christian history, theology has been done primarily by men. Beginning in the early 1960s, feminists identified ways traditional theologies omitted, ignored, and vilified women's experiences, issues, and perspectives. In the past 60 years, feminists have developed a vibrant theological tradition that is essential for a full understanding of Christian theologies. Feminist theologies engage some of the most important and controversial issues of our time, from the roles of women in society to sexuality, abortion, gender identity, and the environment. Feminist Theologies: The Basics aims to:Provide historical context for the development of feminist theologyExamine feminist theological methodsShare new and emerging feminist voicesFocus on the feminist concept of intersectionalityUsing the idea of justice to understand feminist theologies.With a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading throughout, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to feminist theologies as well as broader themes in theology, gender, and sexuality.

In Christian circles, consuming pornography has been treated primarily as a moral issue, and the analysis of pornography has dealt with motivations, harms and responses. This book explores how such analyses end up missing important theological dimensions of pornography, and in so missing those dimensions, leave important aspects of the cultural power of pornography unaddressed. The book argues that a purely moral analysis of pornography has led to several presumptions concerning pornography about sex, bodies and the erotic. Working through these presumptions is another, subtler presumption that the act of viewing pornography constitutes an act of viewing proper.This book argues that the Christian tradition can also furnish a theological analysis of pornography as a theological reality, which uncovers these unaddressed dimensions concerning the cultural challenge posed by pornography. In addition, it argues that theology's vocabulary will also yield surprising analyses that overturn these three presumptions. Ultimately, the book argues that pornography distorts the very act on which it trades, namely the viewing of the sexual act. More specifically, it states that pornography is not sexual, erotic or embodied, arguing instead that it is Christological, mimetic and divinizing. In making these critiques, Christian theology also declares that a properly theological engagement with pornography will involve the transformation of gazing into beholding.

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workers In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Recruited by the French government with the promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France. After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Francoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in a wealthy French home in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves Ega's experiences with memories of her childhood in Martinique, the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society. Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, these pages comprise one of the most moving literary witnesses to female exploitation and racism in the twentieth century. From a singular and unforgettable voice, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.

Highlighting hypocrisy of US Civil Rights oppression while fighting for Korean freedom The Korean War is commonly known as the 'forgotten war' because it supposedly had little impact on American culture in comparison to World War II or the American War in Vietnam. Yet from 1950-1953, the conflict produced vigorous anti-war activism, particularly among Black radical women. Informed by their experiences with racism and misogyny within the US, these women were convinced that peace was not just the absence of military aggression, but that it required the liberation of the most oppressed, including the end of capitalist exploitation of women and People of Color and the return of self-determination to colonized peoples- themes that later anti-war activists would echo and develop. Whether or not the Korean War has ever truly been forgotten, the visionary activism of these women has been largely overlooked. In Women March for Peace, Denise Lynn examines the lives of seven Black women- Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Eslanda Robeson, Lorraine Hansberry, and Beulah Richardson- and their resistance to domestic and foreign US policies during the height of anticommunist hysteria. While much peace scholarship focuses on the threat of nuclear conflict, Lynn instead explores how these women connected issues of civil rights at home with international military campaigns, highlights the hypocrisy of containment policies that sought to secure the freedom and rights for Koreans when US citizens were still oppressed. Lynn traces their peace advocacy through their personal papers, local and national articles, Progressive Party documents, and global conventions. Women March for Peace recovers the radical activism of these Black women to understand a crucial chapter in the fight against American imperialism and white supremacy.

The life story of the Judean queen Berenice, descendant of Herod the Great, who became a player on the stage of Roman conquest and politics Berenice (born ca. 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor-to-be, guaranteed Berenice's celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great-granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family's unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II's advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish-Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor. Bruce Chilton traces Berenice's quest for power and her influence in Rome and beyond through the lens of the tensions, conflicts, political intrigues, and cultural interactions that shaped the empire during the second half of the first century.

Illuminating a powerful yet underappreciated force in the American peace and women's movements On November 1, 1961, thousands of middle-class white women took to the streets throughout the United States to demonstrate against atomic weapons. They were brought together by the group Women Strike for Peace (WSP), which grew from modest beginnings at a Georgetown cocktail party to become one of the most effective peace organizations in American history. Under the stewardship of children's book illustrator Dagmar Wilson, and with indispensable support from figures such as Bella Abzug, a lawyer who would later help found the National Women's Political Caucus and serve as US Representative for New York, WSP branches spread to cities and towns across the country, and the group influenced major arms-control treaties and successful antiwar efforts of the Cold War period. Single-handedly, WSP dismantled the McCarthyite House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), catalysed public support for the 1963 Nuclear Weapons Test Ban Treaty, and brokered unprecedented exchanges between American and Vietnamese women during the American War in Vietnam. WSP accomplished their political wins , in part, through a public image that stressed the inherent moral authority and sanctity of motherhood. In Not Just a Housewife, Jon Coburn explores the fascinating story of WSP to argue that the group's historic significance was much more complex than the maternal activism for which it is often remembered. He traces activists' evolution through the Cold War's cultural upheavals, uncovering the significance of forgotten episodes, such as the extraordinary self-immolation of 82-year-old Detroit activist Alice Herz and WSP's unheralded contributions to the 1977 National Women's Conference. In so doing, Coburn recovers WSP's revolutionary politics and militant protests and contends that the organization fused this radical activism with the seeming respectability of motherhood. Through unprecedented access to organizational archives and oral histories, Not Just a Housewife details how WSP's unique fusion of radicalism and respectability significantly shaped Cold War-era women's peace movement history, as well as the broader American culture.

This book provides a critically informed and interdisciplinary global examination of the instrumental role of women as resistance actors, both historically and today.Attention is given to the long and global histories that reveal systemic and structural oppression suffered by women, while highlighting that they have been, and continue to be, an important force for organizing for social change. Whether through the employment of formal or informal strategies of resistance, such as acts of dissent, activism, pacifism, and collective action, this book recognizes and highlights that women have repeatedly stood in the face of social, political, and cultural violence in ways that have gone unrecognized. Drawing heavily from existing feminist thought, especially those feminist voices that exist on the disciplinary margins, case studies are used to examine women's strategic resistance acts.Cases include women's resistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Chile's un violador en tu camino (a rapist in your path), the censoring of feminist activism in China, Korea's 4B movement, Pussy Riot in Russia, Turkey's International Women's Day, the Women's Social and Political Union in the United Kingdom, and the #MeToo movement, #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, as well as the freedom songs of the Civil Rights era from the United States. Careful consideration is given to the role of the oppressive patriarchal state, recognizing that many resistance actors and movements operate within a global order that enforces colonial carceral policies and prioritizes hetero-patriarchal Western ideals. The book includes chapters on the broad history of women's resistance movements, strategies of nonviolent and violent resistance, state and feminist backlash, the dominance of white feminism in resistance, development, and philanthropic spaces, media both traditional and digital, and artivism.This is essential reading for scholars and students of criminology, victimology, feminist and gender studies, sociology, and international relations studies, who are interested in the oft neglected role of women's resistance.

This seminal book is the original and definitive text presenting Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity Therapy (GSRD Therapy) as its own therapeutic rather than simply a set of techniques or "add on" to other modalities in working with LGBTQ+ clients and other marginalised populations.This edited volume draws on the expertise of international clinicians who offer contemporary perspectives as well as modernising traditional psychotherapeutic theories. The book will first introduce the modality explaining the essence of GSRD Therapy: its history, its philosophy, its theories, what it is used for, and how it is practiced and will set the landscape for GSRD Therapy centred on its seven core components. It will focus on specific populations and themes that are prevalent in the GSRD communities, yet, often not written about or discussed in core clinical training, such as working with Queer and trans young people, parenting, working with serious mental health difficulties, and ageing and the end of life. It also covers topics such as neurodivergence, self-harm, and body image.The book will be a critical resource for clinicians worldwide, particularly those working with, or interested in working with populations who do not fit the dominant "norm" of heteronormativity, mono-normativity and those who are gender-expansive.

This book explores the changing attitudes and clinical responses to gender and transition in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.It examines gender as a dynamic and elusive psychic situation-lived through affect, fantasy, and symbolic pressures. Gozlan argues that gender shapes experience not only in patients' lives but also in theory-where it unsettles coherence, challenges neutrality, and brings forward what is lost or unsymbolized. Engaging figures such as Sullivan, McDougall, Stoller, and Quinodoz, he reimagines the analyst as implicated in the transmission of gendered meanings, where the mind becomes a site of ethical and aesthetic reworking. This extends to the psychic life of psychoanalytic institutions, where gender's fate and its impact on the analyst's own transformation are examined. The book also interrogates the conditions under which the analyst's thinking shifts-or resists shifting-and invites readers to rethink how gender circulates through psychoanalysis, theory, and institutional life.With a deep and nuanced understanding of gender in the clinic and beyond, this book is essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals seeking to update their thinking and practice around gender and transitioning.

A new and incisive exploration of female slavery and reproduction in ancient Rome One of ancient Rome's most significant legacies is a legal framework for hereditary slavery. Under the Roman principle that would come to be known as partus sequitur ventrem (the offspring follows the womb), enslaved women bore enslaved children regardless of the identity of the child's father. For centuries, across the globe, this legal doctrine was invoked to justify control over enslaved women's reproductive labor. This is the first book to examine the development and practice of the partus principle in its original Roman context, tracing the lives of five women subject to different forms of corporal control, from coerced reproduction to concubinage to forced marriage. These women's stories-recovered from fragments of papyrus, stone monuments, wooden tablets, and more-reveal the diverse ways that slaveholders used the partus principle to their advantage. Offering an intimate, nuanced account of the sexual and reproductive dimensions of slavery across the vast Roman Empire, Katharine P. D. Huemoeller reveals the particularities of female enslavement in the Roman world and the long history of reproductive injustice.

A Trailblazing Journalist Who Took on New York's Gilded Age Injustices Zoe Anderson Norris was a woman ahead of her time. A Kentucky-born belle turned fearless Manhattan journalist, she used her pen as a weapon in the fight for justice. From exposing slumlords and corrupt politicians to advocating for impoverished immigrants, she captured the injustices of her era with a wit and tenacity that still resonate today. In this first biography of Norris, independent scholar Eve Kahn restores her legacy, illuminating her work as a novelist, magazine publisher, and social reformer who challenged the powerful and gave voice to the oppressed. A prolific writer and editor, Norris chronicled the struggles of Lower East Side immigrants in her self-published periodical The East Side, often going undercover to report on the harsh realities of tenement life. She documented tragedies such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, publicly denounced predatory men, and advised women on seizing control of their destinies. With her bohemian spirit, she led the Ragged Edge Klub, a gathering of artists, writers, and social critics who rejected the status quo. But Norris's courage came at a personal cost. Her life was marked by tumultuous relationships, family estrangement, and battles against the very injustices she exposed. She endured financial struggles, unfaithful or deadbeat husbands, and social ostracization for her refusal to remain silent. In her final issue of The East Side, she eerily predicted her own death, an uncanny premonition that made national headlines before she faded into obscurity. With meticulous research and captivating storytelling, Kahn brings Norris's extraordinary life back into the spotlight. Drawing on newly uncovered archival materials, including Norris's own writings, letters, and investigative reports, Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death sheds light on a fearless journalist whose influence on investigative reporting and social justice continues to be felt today. This biography is a compelling testament to the power of the written word in the fight for truth and equity.

Constructed around powerful stories of maternal agency, care and emotion, this novel volume conceptualises the primary homework experience as a social and relational practice and act of mothering, thereby raising wider questions about parental involvement in education, families' agency in school practices, and the broader implications on policy.Using data gathered through repeat interviews, videos of mother-child primary homework interactions and stimulated reflections, chapters present a series of unique maternal portraits that reflect various dimensions such as class, ethnicity, and parenting children with special education needs. The book demonstrates how practices from the educational sphere bleed into family relations, and how in return, mothers shape educational processes through their mothering. Contesting prevalent deficit discourses about mothers, the book highlights their relational skills and investment in their children's education. Chapters contextualise parent involvement and the international reach of primary homework practices, as prompted by neoliberal discourses of parental responsibilisation, and the globalisation of educational approaches.This book will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in parent involvement and engagement, homework and primary education. The book will also be important for those researching mothering, parenting and gendered practices.

This book draws on a wide range of sources to provide the first comprehensive account of the experience of eighteenth-century working girlhood across all regions of Britain, examining the lifecycle stage of growing up for the middling and lower classes as they worked and prepared for a life of work.Studies of history have often tended to slide over the distinct history of girls in its focus on women's history, merging their stories into broader narratives. This volume continues the more recent historical reclamation of girls and girlhood as a useful analytical tool, while also specifically addressing the lacunae in histories of eighteenth-century working girls. Examining the role of home, schools and apprenticeships in girls' upbringing, it considers how mobility shaped their trajectories. Furthermore, it examines sociability, love, sex and the 'misfortunes' they might encounter. An underpinning message is the active role that girls played in shaping their own destinies using whatever tools were at their disposal.Written in an accessible style and bridging gaps in the literature, this volume is a valuable resource for university courses in the istory of childhood and women's studies/history.

Revisiting Psychic Bisexuality: The Feminine Within explores the complexities of psychosexual development from a psychoanalytic perspective, challenging traditional ideals and theories.Viewing the feminine and the masculine as an interdependent dyad in the human psyche, this book examines the construction of identity, as well as the sexual identification process. Considering inter- and intrapsychic dynamics, the chapters explore the relationship between analyst and analysand, looking at how various perspectives on the identification process of the masculine and feminine can challenge the analytic process. Focusing on classic and contemporary psychoanalytic theories, the chapters approach the phenomenon of psychic bisexuality as a mediating and mental function and work to find a model that fits with contemporary Psychoanalysis and life in the twenty-first century. Based on the universal idea that each element of the analytic pair carries inside his/her idiosyncratic experience of the feminine/masculine relationship, and that the analytic pair is engaged in an ongoing unconscious communication, the global cohort of contributors invite psychoanalysts working today to expand their viewpoints and move beyond the traditional psychoanalytic frame to better help their clients. This book is an invaluable resource for all mental health practitioners, as well as those in education and social care, looking to reflect on the vicissitudes of psychosexual development.

A compelling examination of Nazi women's perpetration of war crimes, and how-or whether-courts held them accountable To date, our understanding of women's participation in Nazi war crimes has been shaped by political decisions made by men, which reflect entrenched gender norms that diminish both women's agency and their accountability. Jessica Trisko Darden offers a corrective to this by providing a groundbreaking holistic account of the variety of war crimes that women of all ages committed during the Nazi era, as well as the range of legal outcomes that they faced in the wake of the Second World War. By analyzing records from German, French, Hungarian, Soviet, and Israeli trials, Trisko Darden observes that postwar politics contributed to disparities in sentencing between men and women, which in turn allowed some women to receive more lenient sentences than others, or to be acquitted altogether. Her rigorous analysis of these women's cases makes an important contribution to scholarship on women's agency and culpability in perpetrating violence.

This classic text, updated with new material, introduces students clearly and effectively to a "gendered" way of understanding translation by convincingly constructing a link between translation studies and the interdisciplinary field of women's studies.Translation and Gender places work in translation against the background of the women's movement and its critique of 'patriarchal' language. It explains the origins and goals of this approach to translation, exploring translation practices derived from experimental feminist writing, the development of openly interventionist translation strategies, the initiative to retranslate fundamental texts such as the Bible, translating as a way of recuperating writings 'lost' in patriarchy, and translation history as a means of focusing on women translators of the past.With new chapters focusing on queer theory and its applications to translation and translation studies, and transnational and decolonial feminisms and their applications to translation and translation studies, this edition ensures continued relevance and importance to all studying and researching the vibrant area of translation and gender, within translation studies, comparative literature and gender and women's studies.

Casas, Roger, Worldly Engagements: Buddhist Monasticism and Masculinity Among the Tai Lue of Southwest China. (Contemporary Buddhism) 277 pp. 2025:11 (U. Hawai'i Pr., US) <755-121>
ISBN 979-88-8070-087-5 hard ¥15,922.- (税込) US$ 75.00

The Tai Lue of Sipsong Panna, located in China's southern Yunnan province, are the largest community of Theravada Buddhists in a country where the Mahayana tradition is historically and overwhelmingly dominant. Following years of repression during the Maoist era, in the 1980s Buddhism among the Lue recovered and even thrived. In recent decades, and in light of ever-increasing global connectivity and visibility online, the public participation of Tai Lue novices and monks in practices such as eating in the afternoon, drinking alcohol, having girlfriends, and competing in sports-all considered unfitting, even unacceptable, behavior for Buddhist monastics in China and Southeast Asia-has been censured and evidenced as proof of the inadequacies and backwardness of this minority religious community. Worldly Engagements places such alleged misconduct by Lue monastics at the center of its enquiry to demonstrate that, far from characterizing a degraded or corrupt form of practice, it represents an essential part of the monasticism traditionally prevalent in the region, an all-encompassing and amphibious technology of self-mastery inextricably embedded in the mundane and the non-religious-that is, a vernacular discipline concerned mainly with making boys into men. Based on long-term ethnographic research in Sipsong Panna and earlier work conducted on mainland Southeast Asia, Worldly Engagements offers a comprehensive and innovative view of temporary Buddhist ordination among the Tai Lue as a key element in the contemporary configuration of localized manhood. It expands on conventional understandings of monasticism by focusing on religious specialists' daily routines-from the moment they enter the temple as novices to their disrobing-paying attention to the socially embedded and individually embodied aspects of a journey determined by the dynamics of gender performance. The result is a rich portrayal of the temple experience as a site for Lue youths to negotiate competing demands from families, religious superiors, and peers, as well as navigate the challenges presented by national models of successful masculinity and the powerful influence of Thai Buddhism.

This volume offers a multidisciplinary reassessment of women's intellectual, spiritual, and artistic contributions during the Enlightenment, challenging their place in dominant historical, theological, and philosophical narratives.Women in Christianity in the Age of Enlightenment brings together eight thematically interconnected chapters that examine how women across diverse geographies navigated patriarchal institutions to assert agency in theology, philosophy, sainthood, education, science, the arts, and religious practice. Drawing from a wide range of case studies, the volume traces counter-narratives that questioned Enlightenment rationalism, ecclesiastical authority, and canonical androcentrism. Featured figures include the Puellae Doctae, Rachel Speght, Jeanne Guyon, Mary Astell, and Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun in Europe; "Mama Antula," Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Francisca Josefa del Castillo, and Maria de Jesus in the Americas; and Luo Qilan, Kiyohara Yukinobu, and Ike Gyokuran in Asia. The volume reframes the Enlightenment as a contested global terrain of gendered power.This book will appeal to scholars and advanced students in gender studies, theology, intellectual history, and the arts, as well as to general readers interested in the Enlightenment and feminist thought. It offers a valuable resource for rethinking modernity through the often-overlooked contributions of women to Christian intellectual and cultural traditions worldwide.

This book analyses synchronization as a symptom of the contemporary art world.Acting as a tool within present-day social, economic, and political systems, synchronization assigns individuals to predetermined forms of representation. At its core, the book challenges normative synchronization concepts as projections of a unity of bodies and voices, past and present, self and environment. The text offers a non-linear art historical narrative of those practices which have consistently tried to 'desynchronize' from antisemitism and homophobia. Through thoughtful analysis of art practices from Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, Zanele Muholi, Anna Daucikova, Sharon Hayes, Glenn Ligon, and Chantal Akerman, the author seeks to address the current wish to create contemporaneity for all-often through violence against those perceived as not belonging to it.This book is ideal for researchers and scholars in Art History, Philosophy, Queer Theory, Gender Studies, and Sociology.

Illusive Materialisms brings a close attention to gender to bear on the philosophical and political argument that sensual pleasure, framed as a mode of feminine responsiveness, is the primary business of enlightenment. Ultimately, the book argues on behalf of a history of feminine speculation that resonates with contemporary feminist and queer efforts to recenter pleasure and its generative illusions in the necessary work of critique. Through its analysis of a materialism that is often hiding in plain sight, Illusive Materialisms explores different ways to cultivate delight in a world in ruin. While most studies of materialism during the French Enlightenment focus on works by men, Illusive Materialisms foregrounds responses by women to the materialist currents that cut across the eighteenth-century canon and that aim to recast femininity as the privileged condition of the modern, enlightened subject. For the women writers examined here, femininity is both a form that is embodied and an art that is practiced, often with transformative effects. Illusive Materialisms illuminates the crucial role played by femininity in a long history of materialist philosophy. At the same time, it uncovers a specifically feminine engagement with the materialist thought and practice of eighteenth-century France. The book shows how three women authors (Madeleine de Puisieux, Emilie Du Chatelet, and Francoise de Graffigny) rework, revise, and reuse materialist texts and ideas in order to craft an ethic of pleasure whose effects traverse their writing and their life. At the same time, it demonstrates that feminine forms, images, and persons lie at the heart of a tradition of materialist thought stretching from antiquity into the present day.

Roth, Amanda, LGBTQ+ Family-Making, Reproductive Ethics, and the (Re)Shaping of Family Values. (Routledge Research in Applied Ethics) 262 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-104>

This book examines the ethical issues surrounding assisted reproductive technologies and queer family-making practices. By focusing on LGBTQ+ people and experiences in relation to procreative ethics, the book challenges dominant approaches and views in philosophical bioethics. In Part 1 of the book, the author introduces the idea of queer epistemic privilege regarding issues of family and reproduction and applies this notion to the bioethical debates around donor conception. In Part 2, the author problematizes the typical philosophical conception of the debate over donor anonymity by centering queer perspectives and experiences. Drawing on social science research, she makes the case for "queer difference" in how donor conception is practiced and then employs this notion to show why the dominant ethical views opposing donor anonymity fail. Whereas most scholars view this issue as an issue of pure procreative/parental ethics, the book instead employs a queer perspective to draw out an alternative framing of the conflict-one between procreative/parental ethics and the moral responsibility to resist unjust social systems and norms, e.g. bionormativity. This broader framing offers a limited defense of some uses of anonymous donor gametes that is tied directly to the nature of ongoing LGBTQ+ family marginalization. Finally, in Part 3, the author draws attention to two aspects of donor conception that are common in the queer community but receive virtually no attention in the bioethical literature-known donation and donor sibling contact/relationships-and shows what we miss philosophically when these queer practices are erased from the bioethical discussions around donor conception. LGBTQ+ Family-Making, Reproductive Ethics, and the (Re)Shaping of Family Values is an essential resource for researchers or advanced students working in Moral Philosophy-especially Reproductive Ethics, Feminist Philosophy, and LGBTQ+ philosophy-Bioethics, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies.

Quilty, Emma, Witch Power: Hexing the Patriarchy with Feminist Magic. 208 pp. 2025:9 (Polity Pr., UK) <755-1073>

When most people hear the word 'witch', they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. Witch Power follows Emma Quilty - herself a witch and an anthropologist - on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to 'red tent' menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to readers to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.
