Doing Gender in Media, Art, and Culture provides a critical introduction to recent developments in cultural gender studies. Focusing primarily on the fields of art, culture, and media, it encompasses literary, historical, film, performance, and indigenous studies, as well as the digital humanities.Gender studies currently find themselves at the heart of a deeply troubling socio-political landscape. The eighteen chapters in this volume aim to provide knowledge on how to understand the current backlash against feminism and how to navigate the increasingly polarised debates surrounding systemic racism and sexism, anti-trans violence, and non-binary gender identifications. It teaches its readers how to address epistemic inequalities in knowledge production and how to make sense of the role of gender in thinking about racism, climate change, and armed conflict. Analysing the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion is a core task of feminist scholarship and, consequently, motivates the intersectional and gender-sensitive research methods that are brought to the fore in this book.This vibrant and wide-ranging collection of essays is essential reading for anyone seeking an accessible yet sophisticated guide to the foundational issues, concepts and debates within gender studies.

Marriage and fertility rates are falling around the world, upending social security planning and threatening economic growth. In Love Apocalypse, anthropologists present their insights into this society-altering demographic shift, drawing on their research into the ways love, romantic relationships, and family are being transformed by cultural, social, and economic forces. Each case study in this volume examines a unique cultural context from either Asia (China, South Korea, Japan, India), Europe (Germany, Lithuania), or Latin America (Cuba, Peru), grounded in years of ethnographic research into how communities' experiences and perceptions of love, marriage, and family are changing in response to economic precarity, shifting gender relations, status competition, and diversifying cultural norms. It is increasingly clear that marriage and two-parent nuclear families will not be the universal norm of the twenty-first century even if this arrangement was largely idealized a mere generation ago. However, this does not mean the end of love, intimacy, or family but rather its transformation and the emergence of new intimate relationships and adaptations to the challenges and opportunities of life in the twenty-first century.

オスマン帝国の王宮の女性のハーレム後の生活

This book explores the post-harem lives of Ottoman palace women who-unlike valide sultans, mothers of princes (sehzades), or imperial princesses (hanim sultans)-lost their formal prominence after the death of the reigning sultan and have remained largely overlooked in imperial historiography. These women, often without surviving children or powerful networks, have been relegated to the background of dynastic narratives and treated as peripheral figures in mainstream history writing. Focusing on the consorts of Sultan Abduelhamid I (r. 1774-1789), this volume examines how these women sustained their social status, financial stability, and symbolic ties to the dynasty in the aftermath of palace life. Drawing upon a wide range of Ottoman archival materials-including rental agreements, vakfiye (waqf deeds), household expense records, and posthumous inventories-it reveals the economic strategies, spatial transitions, and charitable activities through which these women rebuilt a sense of belonging and dynastic visibility outside the palace walls. The book demonstrates that although these women did not enjoy fixed entitlements from the central treasury, they succeeded in securing stable and long-term income sources through investments in rental properties, esham bonds, and agricultural estates. Their engagement with the imperial revenue system-distinct from that of valide sultans and hanim sultans-shows an alternative but equally structured model of female economic agency. By tracing these overlooked trajectories, the book offers a fresh lens on gender, space, and power in the Ottoman Empire and fills a critical gap in the literature on dynastic wealth, representation, and imperial femininity. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and educators working in the fields of Ottoman history, gender studies, Middle Eastern economic history, cultural anthropology and Sociology,

Explores Muslim queer and trans experiences in the world's largest Muslim-majority countryMany gender and sexual minorities in Indonesia remain practicing Muslims, but they face violence stemming from Muslim society's rejection of their sexual and gender identities. With their faith often pitted against their desires and ways of living, many are confronted with a forced choice between two seemingly irreconcilable ways of being. Drawing on ethnographic research in multiple locations in Indonesia, Enduring Otherwise examines how Muslim individuals and communities grapple with the challenges and possibilities of inhabiting queer and trans religiosity. Some distance themselves from religious tenets because of the harms implicated in them, while others immerse themselves in religious practices and spiritual values, seeking to reimagine them. There are also those who remain caught in tensions, having to navigate a life entrenched in ambivalence. Yet across these varied engagements, they continue to find ways to keep going.This book showcases how everyday gestures of endurance complicate widely held notions of survival and resilience. Through such actions, Muslim queer and trans subjectivities build complex relationships with faith, piety, and religious norms, while also laying the groundwork to transform the conditions that marginalize them.Offering a nuanced account of the affective politics of worldmaking at the intersection of sexuality, gender, and religion, Enduring Otherwise highlights how the drawn-out moments of hope, failure, improvisation, and exhaustion experienced by queer and gender non-conforming Indonesians configure efforts to create a world where no one will have to endure the unendurable anymore.

Analyzes the narrative agency of women who have come forward to break silences around wartime atrocitiesIn Troubling Testimonies, Annika Bjoerkdahl, Kristine Hoeglund, and Johanna Mannergren explore the power of women's voices in the aftermath of war. Demonstrating the importance of personal testimony, this book analyzes the narrative agency of women who have courageously come forward to shatter gendered silences around wartime atrocities and who have produced crucial new knowledge about women's experiences of war and its aftermath. Employing a feminist lens, the authors highlight women's powerful testimonies from different post-war contexts; Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, and Iraq. They examine how these testimonies provide insight into complex forms of gender-based violence, such as wartime rapes in Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the enslavement of young Yazidi women at the hands of ISIS, and the trauma of "secondary witnessing" in Sri Lanka. Most importantly, they examine how the act of testifying provides agency to the women themselves. The book develops an innovative theoretical framework for understanding narrative agency, offering scholars and practitioners a new tool for analyzing how testimony contributes to transitional justice, peace and transformation after war.

女性のテロリズムの構築－1952年以降の英仏におけるジェンダー、政治的暴力、国家アイデンティティ

News media reporting on female political violence invariably portrays the perpetrators as duped, naive and exploited, acting from personal rather than political motivations, as anomalous intruders in a masculine realm and de-feminized as monsters. By diminishing their agency, the challenge that women's violence poses to the gendered national order is contained. Drawing on five comparative case studies spanning more than 70 years of militant campaigns against the UK and France, this book interrogates how media representations of politically violent women are shaped by gender, race, religion, class and geography. It considers how women's political violence is framed, what influences these portrayals, and what ideological work they perform. In answering these questions, the book reveals how these representations operate as a battleground where the nation's gendered boundaries are defined and defended, and the national order is reproduced.

Breaks new ground by showing how women in prison and their families interact through prison boundariesAlthough women make up only 7% of the overall prison population in the US, their numbers are rising faster than men's, and yet little research has been done on their lives behind bars. In We All Do the Time, Holly Foster-Talbot focuses on how incarcerated women maintain connections to their families and communities while inside prison, and shows how these connections foster positive emotions and feelings of belonging with broader society, in line with re-integrative and rehabilitative ideals. She argues that generating inclusive emotions is a vital part of how imprisoned women and their families cope with and survive imprisonment. Focusing on the experiences of over 300 women in minimum-security federal prison, Foster-Talbot demonstrates that women and their families navigate the prison-family interface through two key mechanisms: women's intersectionally linked lives and their intergenerationally linked lives. Among core findings is that Latina and Black women suffer worse self-rated mental health in prison than white women, despite having more supportive family ties. And if not for these ties, women's racial and ethnic health disparities in prison would be even greater than they already are. This book also shows how the families and communities hit hardest by mass incarceration are also more heavily affected by resultant caring-related absences when women are incarcerated. Ultimately, Foster-Talbot argues that understanding these important connections behind bars are vital for prison programming and policy.

The book provides valuable insights into the landscape of women's rights in West Africa through the transformative decisions made by the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice (ECOWAS Court). Originally established to foster socio-economic integration, the ECOWAS Court has evolved into Africa's premier regional human rights court. With nearly 90% of its decisions addressing human rights issues, the ECOWAS Court now surpasses the African Commission - the continent's longest-standing human rights body - in the number of human rights cases it handles. It offers a compelling analysis of the ECOWAS Court's women's rights jurisprudence, an often-overlooked but essential aspect of the Court's human rights mandate. Grounded in the due diligence principle and the Maputo Protocol, the book sheds light on how adjudicating women's rights cases promotes the global gender equality agenda and challenges state actions that undermine human rights.

Explores the global landscape of abortion law reformIn many countries, barriers to abortion access - legal, cultural, or practical - have been dismantled in places as diverse as Mexico, Kenya, Thailand, and Ireland. Yet, in a few countries - the United States and Poland to name two - obstacles to abortion abound. Why? Why do some countries find abortion access a publicly polarizing issue and others a relatively uncontroversial health and family decision? Why has abortion access been a rallying point for progressive political organizing and, in others, the site of democratic backsliding? In Accessing Abortion, expert academics and lawyers look to countries that have passed permissive abortion laws to make visible how legislation both settled and stirred conflict in politically-divided environments. By comparing the process of enacting laws in these countries, the volume spotlights current social mobilization for and against abortion rights. At the same time, the volume assesses how these varied and comparative national developments unfolded in an international and transnational context where the floor of what countries can do is set by international human rights norms. Ultimately, this collection aims to show how law and public policy functions to facilitate both permissive and restrictive abortion law reform, and how that reform then changes the delivery of abortion services. Providing a sustained comparative analysis of the costs and benefits of legislating and/or judicializing abortion rights across the globe, Accessing Abortion assesses what is missing from contemporary conversations on reproductive justice.

Howson, Stevie Lang, Gender, Punishment and the Maternal Subject of Law: The Matrix of Vulnerabilities. (Gender in Law, Culture, and Society) 228 pp. 2026:4 (Routledge, UK) <763-443>

This book analyses the experiences of mothers in the criminal justice system, arguing that a legal system oriented around the idea of isolating and punishing individuals - without considering the relational dynamics in which they are embedded - produces disproportionate punishment for mothers.Drawing on original qualitative research, the book considers the relevance of mothering to women's pathways to prison, introducing readers to the 'matrix of vulnerabilities' - a complex interplay of trauma, poverty and coercive relationships. This matrix, the book argues, is a central dynamic in women's criminalisation, and one that should be considered in questions of culpability. Grounded in a study of the operation of sentencing law in NSW, Australia, it demonstrates how, in a jurisdiction where sentencing is focused on individualised justice, the imperative to isolate and punish individuals cannot adequately recognise relational dynamics like mothering, resulting in unfair and inconsistent treatment in sentencing courts. Challenging legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to reconsider how criminal justice systems can better account for the relational realities of mothers' lives, the book then articulates a more adequate, non-essentialist, but materially-grounded, understanding of mothering in policy and the law. It thereby offers crucial insights for creating more equitable approaches to justice that recognise the complex vulnerabilities shaping women's experiences with the law.This book will appeal to scholars working in socio-legal studies, feminist or critical criminology, criminal justice, and feminism more generally.

Uncovers the hidden federal regulation of assisted reproductive technology and reproductive genetic innovation The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has become increasingly prevalent in society, with approximately 42% of American adults reporting in 2023 that they or someone they know has undergone fertility treatment. Yet, while traditional ART techniques like artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) have led to the birth of millions of children worldwide, their use and research has remained contested within the American regulatory sphere. In Regulating Conception, Myrisha S. Lewis assesses the moral, political and social issues that influence the federal regulation of ART and reproductive genetic innovation. Contrasting the prevailing viewpoint that ART is "minimally regulated," Lewis uncovers how ART techniques that combine IVF with genetic modification or substitution face hidden regulations from federal agencies that curtail access to reproductive genetic innovation. Though the jurisdictional basis of these agency actions has never been clearly articulated, agency employees continue to use agency-issued letters and advisories to deter practitioners of reproductive genetic innovation. In doing so, these actions limit access to life-altering reproductive technologies in the United States and further disparities in access to assisted reproduction. Exposing the extent of over-regulation assisted reproduction in the US, Regulating Conception urges the minimal regulation of assisted reproduction and reproductive genetic innovation in place of clandestine regulation, to increase transparency and safeguard reproductive rights.

Food and Gender: Making the Modern World places food and gender at the center of the human experience and through this creates a new periodization for modern world history. In focusing on food and gender, and the connections between them, the books shows that a shift in the markers of modernity is needed, away from the traditional perspectives organizing this history that emphasize war, political states, and the global economy which often exclude and marginalize women and trivialize the study of foodways.Instead, it places emphasis on the changes in household organization, female labor, family, the informal sector, personal technology, urban literacy and education, enfranchisement, sexuality, and childrearing/cultural/social reproduction as among the most powerful forces at the heart of modern history. It then recovers a narrative that considers feminist perspectives and traces the impact of masculinities, while fully integrating women, both aiming to restore female agency to the "food in world history" narrative. Chapters trace themes that focus on the embodied history of foodways, including the role of accumulation, exchange, power, revolution, conflict, migration, technology, and difference. Together these thematic explorations show how contemporary patterns of abundance and scarcity have been created. The relationships between gender and food also serve as markers of cultural, racial, social, national, and sexual identities and thus reflect the differences and disparities that have shaped our history.This book explores the major themes of world history: the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, ideas and power, and technology and innovation, but puts women, gender, and foodways at its center.

Black Crip Modern uncovers how early twentieth-century Black writers, artists, and activists laid the groundwork for modern disability consciousness. Under Jim Crow, Black disabled citizens were excluded from social services and medical reforms, even as racist violence, carceral surveillance, eugenic logic, and exploitative labor conditions deepened disabling experiences. Through literature, film, photography, and personal testimony, Black modernists registered these compounded injustices and articulated new ways of thinking about illness, impairment, and care.Engaging the work of figures such as Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, Wallace Thurman, Pauli Murray, Langston Hughes and Marita Bonner, Jess Waggoner traces how Black cultural production challenged both white supremacy and ableist ideals of progress. In their writing, Waggoner finds an early "Black crip modern" consciousness - one that rejected eugenic reform, critiqued racialized caregiving hierarchies, and envisioned collective care grounded in feminist and anti-carceral principles.In conversation with contemporary disability justice movements, Black Crip Modern reveals how Black thinkers and artists forged a disability politics before it was formally named. By assembling these overlooked histories of Black ill and disabled life, Waggoner reframes the foundations of disability studies and insists that Black cultural production has always been central to the struggle for bodily autonomy, access, and justice.

Reproductive Boundaries examines the shifting boundaries of prenatal care in Switzerland, focusing on the Pregnancy Support Center's innovative psychosocial model. By redefining the territory of care, the Center extends its reach beyond the medical domain, exemplifying the reproductivization of life, the increasing organization of various life aspects through a reproductive lens. The book explores how this approach challenges traditional borders between medical and psychosocial care, offering an alternative to Switzerland's heavily medicalized reproductive care. Through ethnographic insights into reproductive talk, it reveals how psychosocial advisors shift the boundaries of reproductive care, balancing support with broader state goals of reproductive governance. Set against Switzerland's history of stratified reproductive policies, the study critically examines how psychosocial care reshapes the landscape of pregnancy, raising questions about surveillance and evolving gender roles. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider the limits and possibilities of care in a fragmented society.

Die Forschung zu weiblichem Unternehmertum hat in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten an Bedeutung gewonnen. Obwohl weltweit immer mehr Frauen zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung durch Unternehmensgruendungen beitragen, begegnen sie weiterhin erheblichen Huerden beim Zugang zu Ressourcen, Finanzierung und Netzwerken. Diese Herausforderungen wurzeln sowohl in formellen institutionellen Strukturen als auch in tief verankerten kulturellen Normen, die besonders in Transformationsoekonomien unternehmerische Moeglichkeiten von Frauen limitieren. Im Zentrum der empirischen Untersuchung dieser Arbeit steht Georgien, das Herkunftsland der Autorin. Anhand von 42 qualitativen Interviews mit Gruenderinnen und Unternehmerinnen analysiert die Dissertation den Einfluss staatlicher Institutionen, Bildungseinrichtungen und gesellschaftlicher Einstellungen auf den Gruendungsprozess. Sie geht der Frage nach, welche Formen von Unterstuetzung Gruenderinnen und Unternehmerinnen benoetigen, welche Hindernisse sie ueberwinden muessen und wie lokale Oekosysteme gestaltet sein sollten, um ihr Potenzial zu entfalten. Ein zentrales Thema der Arbeit ist die nach wie vor bestehende geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheit. Viele Frauen scheuen den Schritt in die Selbststaendigkeit aufgrund fehlender Vorbilder oder eingeschraenkter Informationszugaenge. Die Dissertation macht deutlich, welche strukturellen Veraenderungen notwendig sind, um ein inklusives unternehmerisches Umfeld zu schaffen. Das Werk verbindet die Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Theory mit einem geschlechtersensiblen Analyseansatz und leistet so einen wertvollen Beitrag zur internationalen Entrepreneurship-Forschung ? insbesondere im bisher wenig erforschten post-sowjetischen Kontext. Die Dissertation richtet sich an Wissenschaftler, politische Entscheidungstraeger und Praktiker im Bereich wirtschaftlicher Teilhabe, Entrepreneurship und Gleichstellung. Durch ihre empirischen Einblicke und klaren Empfehlungen liefert die Dissertation konkrete Impulse fuer den Aufbau gendergerechter und zukunftsfaehiger unternehmerischen Oekosysteme.

What does it mean to be queer and Muslim in a world that insists you cannot be both? Queer and Muslim is a powerful collection by and for LGBTQ+ Muslims navigating layered identities across lines of faith, family, culture, and community. With contributions spanning essays, poems, letters to past and future selves, and more, the book explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of queer Muslim life and challenges the perception that faith and queerness are inherently incompatible. These raw accounts confront the psychological toll of grappling with tensions between religious expectations and queer identity and offer rare insight into the ways mental health is lived, expressed, and supported across diverse cultural and theological landscapes. They tell of building chosen families and reconnecting with birth families, radical healing, cultivating spaces of belonging, and reclaiming faith on your own terms. In an era of rising Islamophobia and escalating threats to queer and trans lives, the stories contained within Queer and Muslim-stories of resilience, grief, pleasure, rage, and joy-are vital, each of them an affirmation of the multiplicity of queer Muslim identities. Queer and Muslim invites readers to listen deeply, think expansively, and care more courageously.

This volume studies initial attempts by Italian women of the early modern period to assert their dignity and gender equality through skillful interpretation of the Bible. It shows how the holy text represented a means to self-awareness and self-valorization, both through the role models of female figures in the New and Old Testaments, and because of the authoritativeness of the divine dictate that sanctioned equality of the genders.Organized into three sections (the origins; biblical models; the worth of women in Venice), this book is devoted to the reception, discussion, and use of biblical texts aimed at gender equality. It proves how these women fought for their contested value through careful exegesis that revised readings by Patristic and Scholastic theologians to promote the dignity of their gender. There is an evident desire to communicate this new consciousness in order to encourage their female readers to exercise their right to equality and self-determination, allowing them to be agents in their own lives.The Bible Interpreted by Women in Early Modern Italy speaks to a large potential readership: it is indispensable for scholars of early modern Europe, and more broadly for scholars and readers looking to better understand the evolution of women's thinking on gender. It is meant to be accessible to non-specialists too-readers curious about the history of women, the Italian Renaissance, religious history, and biblical interpretation. The book offers a novel and much-needed fresh approach to women and gender studies in early modern Europe, focusing on the intersection of gender awareness with devotional and religious writing.

James, Hayley, Pension Saving in a Gendered Lifecourse. (The Gendered Economy) 160 pp. 2025:11 (Agenda Pub., UK) <763-197>

Despite automatic enrolment in work pension schemes, private saving for pensions in the UK is relatively low, with most people under-pensioned in later life and reliant on the state pension. In this book, Hayley James shows that equally significant is that women save far less for old age than men. Indeed, her detailed research reveals the ways in which pension saving, as an everyday practice of finance, is shaped by gender and how this evolves over the lifecourse. The book challenges the hetero-patriarchal assumptions in pension systems by demonstrating the ways in which they are not gender-neutral since they assume behaviours that marginalize the lived experiences of women. The book makes a compelling case to resolve gendered inequalities in pensions by changing pension provision to better suit the realities of lived experience.

When we think of a "woman entrepreneur", what comes to mind? Women entrepreneurs hold a dominant presence in political, social, economic and development imaginaries, as a global class of workers typifying the contemporary, neoliberal era. Their enterprise is readily proffered as the evidence of a nation's progress, inclusion and development. International institutions, development banks, states, civil society groups, corporations and international financial institutions promote women's enterprise in nearly every corner of the globe. A powerful mythology has grown up around the idea of women as empowered, financial saviour-mothers who benefit the prosperity, inclusivity, and security of a nation and the global economy. In this book, Melissa Langworthy exposes these myths for what they are and in offering a political economy of women's enterprise, she asks what value women's enterprise gives, not to women, but to the institutions that have shaped them and placed them in the centre of the global imaginary.

This book engages Karl Barth's Christological anthropology in order to provide a Christian account of identity that affirms both humanity's universally-shared identity in Jesus and each person's particular identities, especially regarding sex, gender, and sexuality.This unfolds through highlighting the significance of Barth's rejection of Natural Theology, affirmation of science, the necessity of Jesus' embodied particularity for the universality of his person and work, and the corresponding anthropological affirmation of each person's unique embodiment. Using Barth's primary methodological and Christological commitments, this book remedies Barth's inconsistencies within his ordered male/female dyad and builds on Barth's work to provide a Christian account of identity that affirms the universal humanity and unique particularity of persons within and outside of the cisgendered heteronormative male/female dyad, thus creating a shared starting point for Christians in conversations of ethics.Offering Barth's Christological anthropology as a corrective to both essentialism and subjectivism, and as a meaningful resource for re-thinking identity, this book will be of interest to scholars in Religious Studies and Theology, Anthropology and Gender Studies.

From her start as one of the youngest activists in US history, Pauline Newman helped shape the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) into a dominant force in industrial America. Cathryn J. Prince tells the story of a self-educated Jewish immigrant who dedicated herself to a legion of causes and lifelong battles against sexism and classism. Prince follows Newman's life from a youth split between Lithuania and New York City sweatshops to her work as an advisor to New Deal-era labor secretary Francis Perkins. Newman's long hours at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory informed her entree into labor activism. In the following years, she tirelessly advocated for workers, ran for New York Secretary of State as a socialist, and became the first woman to serve as the ILGWU general organizer. Her interest in the health of workers led to service on the Joint Board of Sanitary Control and a decades-long term as education director of the ILGWU health center. Membership in Eleanor Roosevelt's circle opened doors to government positions and advisory roles that continued into the postwar era. Prince also weaves in the details of Newman's fifty-year relationship with a woman, her struggles with her sexual identity, and her final years. Engaging and panoramic, For the Love of Labor is the first major biography of an important figure in labor and women's history.

Global Gender Politics analyzes the gender(ed) divisions of power, violence, labor, and resources that contribute to the global crises of representation, insecurity, and sustainability.This new edition of a foundational contribution to the field of Feminist International Relations, co-authored with a new generation of feminist global politics scholars, continues to examine long-standing and new challenges for placing inequalities and resisting injustices at the center of global politics scholarship and practice through intersectional and transnational feminist lenses that challenge the power of gender. Accessible and student friendly, the book emphasizes how hard-won attention to reducing gender and other inequalities to stem global crises is now jeopardized by the consolidation of new and old anti-equality authoritarianisms, arising from the deprivations of neoliberal capitalism undermining human and planetary welfare, and creating conditions and desires for reassertions of patriarchal rule and relations. In the context of this shift in world order and the centrality of gender to that shift, analyses of gendered global governance, global security, and global political economy are updated and expanded, finding that gender equality norms are being rolled back, gendered insecurities are being heightened by increased war and militarization (including the rise of cyberviolence), and gendered injustices, laid bare by the COVID pandemic, are growing with the rise of oligarchic corporate power, the increased informalization of labor and extraction of resources, and the further breakdowns in social reproduction and denials of reproductive justice. But the book also finds promise in ongoing feminist struggles for democracy and social justice, providing new case studies of transnational and translocal feminist organizing for democratization, nonviolence, and sustainable human and planetary life.To provide support to instructors and readers, this edition includes new questions for discussion, suggested readings, and illustrative boxes, and an accompanying e-resource containing web resources, sample quizzes, and a recorded conversation among the co-authors.Global Gender Politics will be of great use to students of Politics, International Relations, Gender Studies, and those working on Global Governance, Security, Political Economy, and Justice. It will also be of interest to scholars who have followed the previous editions.

Campus Whisper Networks examines how personal knowledge about student sexual assault circulates within college campus communities. Based upon both qualitative and quantitative survey data, Janet Shope and Richard Pringle's research demonstrates that students who have been sexually assaulted tell someone -almost always a friend. Most college students know someone who has been assaulted. Simply knowing, by means of relationships, that one or more peers have been assaulted affects the knowers, and the effects reverberate unevenly across campuses. Shope and Pringle highlight the structural properties that prohibit relational knowledge from becoming official institutional knowledge, confining it to whispers and secrecy within informal spheres of knowledge. The rules governing the circulation of such knowledge create an uneven epistemic field of sexual assault. This uneven field is consequential for the communities, affecting survivors and their confidants and shaping student views of the college community. Campus Whisper Networks demonstrates how personal and institutional avoidance, both the "need to not know" and "no need to know," create knowledge gaps that hide the community's wounds and prevent personal knowledge from becoming social knowledge.

The couplings of millionaires with stenographers, servants, and other so-called working girls supplied early twentieth-century newspapers with sensational headlines and swarms of eager readers. Carole Srole delves into how the media prominence and popularity of these unions reflected unease over the rapid changes shaking American society. Women's desire for autonomy, a rising divorce rate, the declining power of the upper class, new ideas of beauty and sexuality - newspaper tales of cross-class nuptials brought a host of anxieties about gender and class to the front page. Srole focuses particular attention on the economic changes faced by working-class women while also surveying newspaper attacks on their morality and womanhood, and their complicity in their own poverty. As she shows, working women and their advocates persevered by asserting an independence they pursued through union activism, professionalism, land ownership, and filling traditionally male jobs. An engaging merger of media and women's history, Marriage Making News looks at a rags-to-riches genre and illuminates the forces of change at work behind the stories.

Explores the Christian-theological foundations of modern social justice movements and how they've shaped contemporary debates on climate, race, and genderFrom Pope Francis's call to "repent for ecological sins" to murals depicting George Floyd in the Virgin Mary's arms, Christian motifs have permeated contemporary justice discourse. In Secular Christian-Social Justice, legal scholar Noa Ben-Asher investigates the often-hidden theological foundations of seemingly secular social justice movements, exploring how climate, racial, and gender justice are fundamentally animated by Christian themes and values.Combining critical legal theory, theology, feminist and queer thought, and cultural analysis, Ben-Asher demonstrates that contemporary social justice movements operate through four distinctly Christian theological frameworks: apocalyptic worldviews that frame social crises as existential battles between good and evil; trauma-centered narratives that mirror Christian concepts of grace and redemption; appeals to human dignity rooted in Catholic social teaching; and critiques of material inequality that echo biblical economic justice traditions. This interdisciplinary approach allows for tracing the subtle yet pervasive influence of Christian thought across climate, racial, and gender justice. Thus, Ben-Asher argues, the so-called "culture wars" in the United States aren't taking place between religious and secular forces, but between two Christianities: one traditional and institutional, the other reformist and ostensibly secular.The book contends that reckoning with these theological foundations is essential for both intellectual honesty and effective legal and political action. Providing a critical diagnosis of contemporary law and activism, Secular-Christian Social Justice challenges and deepens readers' understanding of the relationship between religion, law, and politics in America, and calls for more radical forms of climate, racial, and gender justice that transcend inherited theological paradigms.

Uncovers the untold story of LGBT activism in the American South as they navigated faith, politics, and activismFor more than forty years, historians have researched the formation of gay communities and activism in the United States. Yet, the vast majority of scholarship on gay activism in the United States focuses on liberal urban areas like San Francisco, New York City, and Chicago, as opposed to conservative regions.In The Dallas Way, M. Rhys Dotson examines the development and impact of Dallas's queer community throughout the twentieth century. The book explores the unique challenges and values that impacted queer residents' experiences in conservative regions, from the interplay of traditional family structures, to religious values, and skepticism of rapid social change. Responding to these circumstances, Dotson highlights how early gay activists adopted a nuanced form of activism that both challenged and aligned with their city's conservative values, forging a distinctive path to equality through their own "Dallas Way." Moreover, the book illustrates how activists utilized strategies that complemented existing social and political structures in Dallas to further their advocacy for collective equality. From the formation of the state's first homophile organization, the Circle of Friends, in 1966, to the establishments of a gay-affirming church, and the Dallas Gay Political Caucus in the 1970s, the book showcases the way Dallas' queer activism used religious communities and political activism to foster community and circumvent law enforcement raids. Offering a fresh perspective on the history of LGBT activism in the United States, The Dallas Way displays the unique strategies Southern gay activists leveraged to effect meaningful change and equality in Dallas.

Though often restricted as aviators, women helped build a stable aircraft industry that became the envy of the world. Barbara Ganson delves into the lives of the women whose work as test pilots, flight school owner-operators, airport managers, and in other roles impacted and reflected larger trends in society. Women aviators challenged social norms that considered them inept with machinery and incapable of handling early flight's very real dangers. Ganson follows how the New Woman ethos of freedom of movement and career inspired engagement with aviation. Despite resistance, women pushed limits by setting records for speed, altitude, distance, and endurance. The fashions of airwomen, meanwhile, reflected changing attitudes of women toward traditional roles and the pursuit of their career aspirations. Informed by interviews and rare archival information, Lady Daredevils tells the stories of the pioneering women of early aviation history and reveals their dynamic interactions with social and technological change.

Gender: A Contemporary Introduction offers a sophisticated exploration of gender through a psychoanalytic lens, moving beyond binary frameworks to present gender as a fluid, kaleidoscopic state of mind shaped by cultural narratives, unconscious fantasies and libidinal attachments.Oren Gozlan presents a critical re-examination of psychoanalytic theories of gender and its relation to sexuality, examining how and why we are invested in it through a comprehensive psychoanalytic approach. The volume provides novel conceptualisations of gender and transitioning, offering original metaphors for new ways of listening to gender in clinical practice. Each chapter considers multiple vantage points including social, cultural, therapeutic, experiential and theoretical perspectives on gender, exploring the interplay between cultural, political and conceptual shifts. The book places in tension the concept of gender as a social identity, subject position, emotional situation and state of mind, engaging the contradictions between these differing viewpoints. By redefining gender as a psychoanalytic object that can only be approached indirectly through fantasy, relation and the unconscious, Gozlan provides clinicians with fresh conceptual tools to navigate these complex territories.This book is an ideal guide for psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and social workers seeking enhanced clinical understanding of gender diversity. It is also an essential resource for training institutes and graduate programs in psychology, gender studies and related fields.

Shows how trans activists confront the intersections of white supremacy and transphobiaTrans Geographies of Joy charts the stories of trans activists in Atlanta, focusing particularly on people of color, to document how they confront the intersections of white supremacy and transphobia through their organizing. The volume offers insight into the oft-overlooked trans activist scene, particularly as political strategists and the broader news media struggle to make sense of newly-purple states like Georgia.Elias Capello uncovers how trans activists create spaces to help them feel safe in the face of the violence they routinely encounter. He argues that colonialism, white supremacy, and cisnormativity are all connected through shame, designating cisgender bodies as "safe, secure, and sane." Cisgender culture masks itself within whiteness to create a narrative of safety that prioritizes cisgender lives, all the while pathologizing, policing, and commodifying trans lives. Yet, as Capello illuminates, trans activists offer alternative narratives of safety, creating spaces of joy outside of cisnormativity's colonial-based shame. The volume details how activists create art, spaces, and communities that help them flourish, illuminating trans pleasure and joy rather than focusing solely on the struggles trans people face.

What if, instead of overcoming grief, we learned to live with it? Unfinished Grief invites readers to linger within loss and to understand mourning not as an endpoint, but as a mode of relation, continuance, and care.In this lyrical follow-up to his acclaimed After the Party, Joshua Chambers-Letson turns toward the art and theory of grief as a way of imagining queer survival. Drawing from queer of color critique, performance studies, Asian American studies, and Black studies, Chambers-Letson explores how love and loss are inseparable conditions of queer life. Engaging artists including Yoko Ono, Gertrude Stein, Bimbola Akinbola, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Joshua Rains, and Kia LaBeija, he considers the lessons art and performance teach about living with what remains unfinished.Set against the backdrop of public and private catastrophe, from war and pandemics to the ravages of racial capitalism, Unfinished Grief insists that mourning and political struggle are entwined practices. Through sensuous, reflective prose and a deeply personal critical voice, Chambers-Letson reveals how grief can be both a sustaining and shattering site of vulnerability, creativity, and communal becoming. Intimate, meditative, and defiantly alive, Unfinished Grief reflects on the queer art of mourning in this guide to the beautiful, difficult work of staying with loss and finding life within it.

A radical challenge to the ways anti-rape advocates work with the survivors of sexual assaultWhat is "victim advocacy" when regulated by the government? Victim advocates have long served as the designated support people for survivors of sexual violence. But in the neoliberal era, advocates no longer work at independent collectives supporting survivors through whatever means necessary, but instead operate at rape crisis centers, government-funded agencies with strict policies on the uses of their funding. In this compelling book, Melinda Chen argues that pressures from governmental granting agencies onto rape crisis centers have compelled advocates to turn away from their responsibility of challenging intersectional violence and instead lean into normative interpretations of rape and survivorship, hurting the most marginalized of victims. Killing Radicalism demonstrates that even the most well-intentioned anti-rape activists can inadvertently harm survivors when they forgo an intersectional critique of the oppressive social and institutional structures around them. Through interviews with advocates from over 50 rape crisis centers, and drawing from her own experience as an advocate, Chen examines how neoliberalism affects anti-rape advocacy today. She shows that through everyday activities like grant writing or the compilation of survey data, advocates can inadvertently force victims out of the post-rape process through small-scale acts suggesting that they are not worthy victims. Chen asks advocates to reconsider their relationship to racial and other marginalized peoples' movements to reimagine a radical politics that can resist hegemonic and normative state powers. Ultimately, this book is a wake-up call for advocates and scholars to reexamine their approaches to anti-violence work and prioritize the needs of all survivors.

This book explores how gloves shaped and reflected gender relations in early modern society. By examining the cultural, economic, and political significance of gloves, it reveals how these everyday objects both reinforced and challenged gender ideologies of the time.The study demonstrates that gloves were far more than simple accessories-they were powerful symbols that helped construct social hierarchies and express various forms of authority and agency. Through their material presence and symbolic meaning, gloves participated in complex dialogues about gender, power, and identity. Drawing on methodologies from history, archaeology, anthropology, geography, art history, material culture studies, performance studies, and disability studies, this interdisciplinary approach examines how physical objects and bodily practices intersected to create meaning. The analysis focuses on the tangible relationships between people, objects, and power structures, showing how material culture actively shaped social relations rather than simply reflecting them.This work contributes to our understanding of how gender operated in early modern contexts, demonstrating that power relations were constructed through everyday interactions with material objects like gloves.

Traces the development of new anti-LGBTQ movements in Taiwan and their interactions with the U.S. Religious Right In 2019, global media celebrated Taiwan as the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage. However, the pursuit of this human rights milestone spurred waves of opposition to LGBTQ rights that have fundamentally shaped the nation's democracy and its relationship with the United States. This book examines Taiwan's anti-LGBTQ movements, analyzes their rise and fall, and reveals their surprising links with American religious conservatism. Given that Christianity is a minority religion in Taiwan and East Asia, the book seeks to answer how and why Christian-led anti-LGBTQ sentiments became so powerful in Taiwan, and how they have built transnational connections with American and other international counterparts. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews with leading figures across a wide political spectrum, and two years of cumulative ethnographic observation in both Taiwan and the United States, Kao reveals that moral conservatism has been flowing across borders and adapting to contemporary socio-political institutions as it seeks to protect its moral territories and expand its ideological power. Exploring the transnational ebbs and flows of moral conservatism as a direct response to rising pro LGBTQ liberalism and queer radicalism, Fear of Queer Taiwan offers a groundbreaking theoretical framework to understand conservatism's fluidity in today's ever-evolving global landscape of gender and sexual politics.

There is a long history of discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in the American military and intelligence services, from vice squad stings during World War I to the "Lavender Scare" of the early Cold War through "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the Trump administration's transgender ban. How have the rationales for anti-LGBTQ+ policies changed over time? When and why did these policies shift? What does anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination reveal about the US military, American political institutions, and broader themes in queer history?The Lavender Bans is a comprehensive account of the evolution of anti-LGBTQ+ policies from World War I to the present. Dorian Rhea Debussy-a leading expert on LGBTQ+ history in the US military-examines six distinct periods of exclusion over the course of a century, tracing continuities and changes alongside the growth of the national security state. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship and close analysis of archival documents, she offers new insights into the policies affecting LGBTQ+ people in the armed forces.Meticulously researched and rich in detail, The Lavender Bans sheds light on a long and troubling history-with deep contemporary relevance as exclusion of transgender people continues. It is an engaging, important, and timely book for a range of readers, including scholars, students, policy makers, military personnel, and people affected by anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.

This book examines how ancient Zoroastrianism is practiced in the US diaspora and how it has evolved dynamically. As it developed in the patriarchal cultures of Iran and India, to move beyond the dominant male perspective, this book focuses on women. The lived religion approach demonstrates that Zoroastrianism in their everyday experiences is more than just a religion, but is a spiritual path, an ethnic tradition, and a cultural identity. Some women challenge old patterns, and Zoroastrianism in the diaspora turns out to be multifaceted and vibrant, despite the fear held by some community members that it may become extinct.Richly illustrated with the narratives of subsequent generations of Iranian and Parsi immigrants as well as photos, the book gives a taste of the diverse Zoroastrian life across the US. It not only broadens the picture of the ethnoreligious landscape in the country and expands interest in Zoroastrian studies, but also highlights the role of social practice theory in the study of religion, demonstrating how it may apply to qualitative field research, stimulating further discussion.

Moeller, Hans-Georg, The Enigma of Gender: Why Identity Is Neither Individual Nor Essential. 232 pp. 2026:2 (Columbia U. Pr., US) <763-1203>

Current debates about gender identity are fraught with contradictions. Even as we increasingly recognize gender as an assigned category or social convention, we still see it as inherent to who we are, fundamental to our sense of self. But the quest to find one's true self is unfulfillable. How can we find alternatives to the focus on getting our identity "right"?This book offers a cultural critique of gender narratives, spanning traditional conformity to gender roles, the modern quest for individual authenticity beyond gender, and the recent social media-fueled concern with curating gendered profiles. Hans-Georg Moeller puts Daoist philosophy into conversation with present-day thinkers, showing why it helps us rethink common notions about identity. Discussing a wide range of cases, from Chinese foot binding to the politics around transgender issues today, he argues that we can defuse our anxieties by recognizing that gender-like all identities-is social, not individual, and changes at different times and in different places. Accessibly written and empathetic, The Enigma of Gender calls on us to be at ease with whoever we happen to be.

How young Black queer men in Los Angeles reject stigma and stereotypes and instead find pride in their racial and sexual identitiesShameless is an in-depth exploration of the ways that young Black gay men in Los Angeles come together to learn how to navigate racial and sexual stigma in everyday interactions. Based on 4 years of intensive ethnographic fieldwork resulting in observations with over 200 young men in a Los Angeles community health organization, in-depth interviews with self-identified Black queer men, observations with gay kinship families, and media content analysis, Terrell J. A. Winder paints a full picture of the socialization and stigma negotiations of young Black gay men. He explains how traditional strategies like passing and covering can become untenable and ineffective for young Black gay men dealing with multiple stigmas simultaneously, who are looking to experience their identities with a sense of pride, rather than as a source of shame.

Harper, Misti Nicole, Ladies of Little Rock: Black Femininity and Respectability Politics in the Fight to Desegregate Central High School. (Southern Legal Studies) 288 pp. 2026:7 (U. Georgia Pr., US) <763-1133>

Ladies of Little Rock explores the agency and activism of middle-class Black women and girls who led the movement to desegregate Little Rock Central High School. Misti Nicole Harper argues that these ladies assumed this responsibility as part of a broader legacy of middle-class Black women who wielded respectability politics as social justice strategy. Black women such as Daisy Bates, president of the Arkansas state chapter of the NAACP, and the six Black girls of the "Little Rock Nine" proved their politically savvy and imminent respectability in Little Rock and on the international stage. Black ladies threatened the precarious social position of working-class white women and girls whose lone claim to social privilege was their whiteness and who spearheaded massive resistance as a direct reaction to the challenge that middle-class Black ladies posed.

Founded in 1919, the Federated Press (FP) collected, compiled, and distributed news to America's labor and radical newspapers. Victoria M. Grieve focuses on the lives and work of four correspondents and staffers - Jessie Lloyd, Julia Ruuttila, Virginia Gardner, and Miriam Kolkin - to examine the impact of women at the FP and across the labor movement. These journalists wrote women into labor news by shedding light on essential issues like the need for equal pay and an end to discrimination. Their work increased women's visibility in unions and the workforce while revealing that not only class but gender and race shaped their on-the-job experiences. Grieve also examines labor feminism within the larger stories of links between the Old Left and New Left and the FP's pioneering role in articulating early iterations of intersectional feminism. A compelling portrait of four women and a movement, Labor Journalism, Labor Feminism looks at an essential labor press organization and profiles politically active, leftist women who created relationships, established networks, and worked for social change.

Myths of Masculinity and American Film examines ideologies of white American manhood that permeated U.S. culture between 1974 and 2016-the period in which the boys of Generation X grew into adulthood.Stephen R. Duncan argues that the mass media of movies and television, along with some popular novels, music, and certain newsworthy events, can help reveal these ideologies-for good and for ill-as they dramatically changed in the wake of the social movements of the 1960s and early 1970s. Tracing how 'presidential patriarchy' and cinematic representations of white manhood evolved in these decades, the book explores the resulting reinforced ethos of masculine individualism that underpinned popular support for Trumpism by 2016. It demonstrates that the key that unlocks the connections between culture and politics is a discourse around patriarchy that is shared both by films of this period and popular perceptions of presidents, from Nixon, Carter, and Reagan, to Bush, Clinton, and Obama.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of U.S. media and cultural history, American Studies, and gender studies.

The #MeToo revelations put a twenty-first-century stamp on the age-old story of women's mistreatment in Hollywood. Karen McNally edits a collection focused on examining and revising film history in the aftermath of the women's stories, past and present, that have come to light. The collection begins with essays on the interplay between reality and imagination in narratives and representations of women's experiences of unequal treatment. In Part 2, contributors discuss how the gendered attitudes of the media's stories enable inequality in Hollywood and look at the forces that arise whenever women resist these media assaults. The next section addresses the structures that built the inequalities and mistreatment while Part 4 revisits established narratives to challenge, renew, and expand upon our understanding of film history through women's stories. Essays in the final section address the combination of inequality and resistance that defines women's experiences in Hollywood. Piercing and astute, Women in Hollywood's Dream Factory confronts our perception of Hollywood as a mythological land of dreams. Contributors: Alicia Byrnes, Anna M. Dempsey, Harriet Fletcher, Amanda Konkle, Tamar Jeffers McDonald, Kerry McElroy, Adrienne L. McLean, Karen McNally, Donna Peberdy, Melanie Piper, Victoria K. Pistivsek, Sarah Polley, Ina C.

Shi, Xia, Concubines in Public: The Rise of the Social Wife in Republican China. 228 pp. 2026:5 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <762-788>

Moving beyond familiar narratives of abolition, Xia Shi introduces the contentious public presence of concubines in Republican China. Drawing on a rich variety of historical sources, Shi highlights the shifting social and educational backgrounds of concubines, showing how some served as public companions of elite men in China and on the international stage from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Shi also demonstrates how concubines' membership in progressive women's institutions was fiercely contested by China's early feminists, keen to liberate women from oppression, but uneasy with associating with women with such degraded social status. Bringing the largely forgotten stories of these women's lives to light, Shi argues for recognition of the pioneering roles concubines played as social wives, their impact on the development of gender politics, and on the changing relationship between the domestic and public for women during a transformative period of modern Chinese history.
