In the current sociopolitical landscape, hyperandrogenism has become a lightning rod for collective anxieties about transgender identities and "preserving" women's sports, as well as misunderstandings about the inherent fairness of sport and the biological mechanisms that quantify athletic advantage. Perched behind this discourse, people living with hyperandrogenism face ongoing destabilization of healthcare access and find their experiences are often silenced and marginalized.This book offers a novel therapeutic method for individuals with hyperandrogenism to share their experiences using literary hypertext - a form of digital storytelling that invites readers to participate by selecting hyperlinks. Focusing on a case study of women and nonbinary individuals with hyperandrogenism, ten hypertext authors' narratives are explored. Their experiences highlight the therapeutic value of writing a hypertext illness narrative by mapping reflective experiences through hyperlinks and sharing their narrative with the broader community.Providing interdisciplinary insights into the lived experience of hyperandrogenism, as well as practical guidance on the clinical use of literary text, this book will appeal to researchers and clinicians interested in hyperandrogenism, gender studies, health humanities, narrative therapy, electronic media, game design, and feminist media studies.

In the context of authoritarian rule, torture has repeatedly emerged as a tool of social control. When we ask why and how through a comparative lens, patterns become visible. The right-wing military regimes of Francisco Franco in Spain and Augusto Pinochet in Chile exemplify how militarized masculinity served to enforce political repression and instill fear. Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile proposes that, until we connect the dots between masculinity, militarism, and violence, we cannot fully comprehend the causes and consequences of dictatorial brutality. Lisa DiGiovanni provides an in-depth examination of how literature and film illuminate these often-overlooked relationships, bridging historical and cultural contexts. The book presents a comprehensive exploration of militarized masculinity as it pertains to these interconnected regimes, revealing the intersections between gender constructs and state violence. By analyzing representations in various cultural texts, Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile sheds light on the enduring mechanisms of power and control that continue to resonate today.

Gallagher, Mark, Cosmosexuals: Screen Acting, Stardom, and Male Sex Appeal. 304 pp. 2025:12 (U. Texas Pr., US) <752-983>
ISBN 978-1-4773-3283-2 hard ¥11,616.- (税込) US$ 55.00

An examination of male screen sex appeal and the ways that race, ethnicity, and national origin combine with performance tools and film and television style to aid or inhibit actors' circulation on an increasingly global stage. Sex appeal is complicated, especially for screen actors. Looking good is not enough. Charisma and charm have to register when the camera rolls. And sexiness has to travel. Today's heartthrobs are expected to raise temperatures all around the world. Cosmosexuals theorizes male sex appeal as a form of capital in an age of international stardom. Screen scholar Mark Gallagher assembles a diverse cast - Idris Elba, Pedro Pascal, Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling, and more-analyzing how each actor uses his appearance, voice, and movement to perform in ways that viewers across cultural divides register as sexually appealing. Cosmosexuals also explores the intersection of global sex appeal and exoticism in historical and contemporary contexts-from the malleable racial identities of Omar Sharif and Conrad Veidt to Mads Mikkelsen's "accented whiteness"-and assesses the barriers that confine nonwhite actors, in spite of their talent or celebrity. Far more than handsome faces and chiseled abs, male sex symbols emerge as laborers subject to disciplinary regimes steeped in patriarchy, racism, and structural inequity. As such, they have much to tell us about the economies of taste at work in the construction of screen masculinity and the terms of human desire.

How the sound of the female playback voice impacts Bollywood's cultural, musical, and cinematic environment.Drawing on sound studies and performance theory, scholar Shikha Jhingan explores the discursive nature of the female playback voice in Bombay film songs. Mapping the production, circulation, and reception of the voices of singing stars-notably Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle-Jhingan situates the singing voice as a cinematic object with limitless possibilities of distribution and dispersal. She employs the perspectives of a diverse range of listeners across a vast media landscape to illustrate how the affective charge of the female playback voice, combined with developments in audio technology, has led to a gradual expansion of opportunities for women in film, popular music, and media and audio production. With nuanced exploration of the way the human voice becomes intertwined with devices such as the microphone, radio, cassettes, and digital technologies, Jhingan argues for the sonic excess of the female voice beyond the narrative and visual. The Female Playback in Bombay Cinema is an authoritative addition to the field of sound studies with implications for gender studies, performance studies, and cinema studies.

Tracing cultural representations of queerness in the Dominican Republic from the 1950s to the present In this book, Maja Horn examines the evolution of queer Dominican literary and cultural production from the 1950s to the present, challenging simplistic developmental narratives of LGBTIQ progress. Through an analysis of literature, theater, and activism, Horn traces how same-sex desire and gender nonconformity have been negotiated both tacitly and overtly across the years. Beginning with early forerunners, Horn looks at literary representations in works by Hilma Contreras and Pedro Rene Contin Aybar during the 1930-1961 dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Horn goes on to explore the emergence of queer nightlife spaces during the Balaguer years through novels by Rita Indiana Hernandez and Rey Emmanuel Andujar. Horn discusses how the work of playwright Waddys Jaquez challenges reductive mainstream representations of trans subjects and HIV/AIDS in the new democratic era. The book concludes with a discussion of groundbreaking recent texts that have expanded portrayals beyond Santo Domingo and introduced new perspectives. Throughout Queer Genealogies in Dominican Literature and Culture, Horn shows how class, race, and gender have shaped access to public space and strategies for negotiating sexuality. Horn also reveals the coexistence of different ways of expressing queer identities. Recognizing the influence of coloniality and narratives of identity in the global North, Horn celebrates the shifting geographies and multiplicities of a uniquely creole Dominican queerness.

Queer Migration and Drag in Japan: Queering Identity, Participation and Belonging explores how queer migration intersects with drag performance in Japan, illuminating the intricate interplay between gender, embodiment, and identity.The book follows migrant drag artists as they build lives and stages in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Drawing on interviews, ethnography, and collaborative tojisha research, the book explores questions of identity and belonging, and traces how performers - by shifting between insider and outsider positions - reclaim the "gaijin" (foreigner) label, navigate rigid work-family structures, and build coalitions linking Japan's bars to a booming global drag economy. It offers a fresh, accessible entry point into urgent debates about identity, belonging, and demographic change in contemporary Japan.Queer Migration and Drag in Japan: Queering Identity, Participation and Belonging is ideal for both students and researchers in gender studies, migration, Japanese studies, and performance studies.

A revision of the history of modern sports in late Ottoman Istanbul, showing how Muslims, Christians, and Jews created a shared sports culture that was simultaneously global, imperial, and local. The history of sports in Turkey is deeply contested. Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman World of Sports tells the story of how Istanbul's Muslims, Christians, and Jews-gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans-created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted athletics as a source of fun, beauty, and moral education. Influenced by the emerging global vogue for organized sports, all boys from the expanding middle class of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century imperial capital were expected to exercise and compete on the playing field in order to develop into moral men. Yet even as the embrace of modern athletics transcended ethno-religious divisions, it did not erase them. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, historian Murat Yildiz shows that sportsmen created new communal boundaries in team affiliations, fandom, and sports media. Adeptly reconstructing Istanbul's imperial culture as it was experienced more than a century ago, The Ottoman World of Sports recovers a lived imperial culture whose defining features were shaped by its multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual sportsmen.

This groundbreaking book provides an account of how Traveller and other minoritized women understand, assess and experience local politics in Ireland. Through personal narratives and expert interviews, the book explores minoritised women's exclusion from traditional political spaces, their grassroots activism, and the challenges they face running for office. Drawing from a comparative analysis of minoritised women and politics from the USA, UK, and beyond, the book offers valuable lessons for fostering political inclusion. Its analysis is a vital contribution to global discourse on diversity, gender, and representation, making it essential for policymakers, scholars, and advocates for political equity.

Feminist Responses to Crises and Dehumanization brings together academic knowledge with activist strategies and lived experiences from different socio-geographic angles - bridging the gap between theory and on-the-ground impact.The experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare humanity's existential vulnerabilities. But ecological, economic, political, reproductive, and other instabilities have also shown us how we are connected to non-human species and planet Earth, and how human practices that have long normalized devaluation have in fact created the contemporary multi-crisis. In response to this historical moment, this book articulates visions toward fairer, more caring, and sustainable societies. It brings together feminist and queer scholars and scholar-activists from different world regions who write about critical crisis issues, offer reinterpretations of these crises and develop strategies of resistance. The contributions focus on three dimensions of crisis-ecological devastation and economic exploitation; political authoritarianism and violence; and the denial of reproductive justice and bodily autonomy-and combine systemic and situated analysis with a focus on agency.This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in transnational feminism, in areas such as Gender Studies, Political Science, Social Studies, and International Relations.

ISBN 978-1-032-63787-7 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book focuses on the de-Europeanization processes that Turkey is undergoing through an examination of women's civil society organizations.Considering the lively women's movement in the country and its diversity, it questions whether a transformation has occurred in the way that women's civil society organizations perceive the European Union and make use of the financial and strategic support offered by the EU as part of the latter's recognition of the importance of civil society organizations in candidate and new member states. With attention to the ways in which the contributions of the EU enabled such organizations to intensify and widen their activities, as well as their lobbying and networking prospects, the authors examine the effects on these of Turkey's fluctuating relations with the EU, and the parallel de-Europeanization process that has marked the last decade. An exploration of the process of de-Europeanization as experienced by women's civil society organizations, with a particular focus on the axis of their independence, this volume considers their responses: though the very survival of some is uncertain, many have responded by adopting new strategies and resources for lobbying, networking and collaboration.A study of political change and the effects of de-Europeanization in a country with changing attitudes towards the EU, this volume will appeal to scholars of political sociology, political science and European studies with interests in civil society organizations and gender.

The volume is organized into three interconnected parts examining situated subjectivity and knowledge production, embodiment and normative body formation, and the relationship between affectivity and agency.Intersections of Feminist Technoscience and Phenomenology is an essential resource for both undergraduates and postgraduates studying Gender Studies, Philosophy, Science and Technology Studies, Environmental and Medical Humanities, and Bioethics.

Liberato, Lynn, Michigan's Con-Con 11: Women and State Constitution-making in 1961. 220 pp. 2025:11 (Michigan State U. Pr., US) <752-426>
ISBN 978-1-61186-553-0 paper ¥6,958.- (税込) US$ 32.95

Michigan's CON-CON 11 highlights the contributions of the eleven female delegates to the 1961-1962 Michigan Constitutional Convention. As the first female delegates to a state of Michigan constitutional convention, these pioneers demonstrated that women were more than capable of helping to revise Michigan's highest law. Their examples encouraged other women to enter politics during a time when few women held state or federal public office. Following the women's Con-Con journey over seven and a half months, the book offers a general overview of what a state constitutional convention is and what it means to be a delegate. Michigan's CON-CON 11 both educates the reader on constitution-making and sheds new light on an exciting moment in Michigan political history.

Documenting the intertwined history of international institutions and transnational feminism through the lens of Mandate Palestine in the inter-war period, this book elicits the historical formation of a prototypical form of feminist governance at the international level. It is commonly accepted that 'International Women's Rights' entered the halls of international institutions with the 1979 passage of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. But as this book argues, feminist interventions in international law began much earlier. Engaging the history of feminist engagements with the first international institution of modern international law, the League of Nations, this book - based on archival research and drawing upon TWAIL and critical legal feminist approaches - focuses on the Arab-Palestinian feminist movement. Uncovering a peripheral feminist legal agenda, driven by women under colonial rule, the book interrogates feminist legal advances in three different fields: criminal and anti-trafficking laws, family and divorce laws, and human rights and prisoners' laws. Detailing this subaltern feminist legal activism, the book demonstrates how today's feminists' mission, as enshrined in the UN Charters, are the by-product of a much longer history of colonial resistance and contestation. This book will be of considerable interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of international law, international history, women's and feminist history, and feminist legal studies.

Writings from feminist scholars of color about their experiences during the pandemic. Bringing uncertainty, fear, and change, the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, altered people's lives, and sparked a wave of introspection. Underserved communities-people of color, women, and queer people among them-were affected the most, and their experiences, in turn, reflected hope and opportunities to reinvent themselves individually and collectively. Drawing on Gloria AnzaldUa's use of nepantla-the NAhuatl word meaning "in-between space," the en medio and a liminal space between worlds imbued with change-World Making in Nepantla collects writings about the hurdles feminist scholars of color faced during the pandemic years. Contributors explore how COVID affected feminist scholars of color while recognizing the ways in which inequality influences experience and also celebrating the resilience of communities all over the world. Dispatches from classrooms and quarantined homes and introspective essays on disability, mutual aid, and borders are included among the essays here. These pieces serve as a concrete record, capturing an ephemeral time already being lost to memory. Created during the heart of the pandemic, World Making in Nepantla is an honest and intimate recording of how feminist scholars of color navigated struggles and found strength during an era that forever changed the modern world.

Divers, Jo / Chenery-Morris, Sam, Exploring Women's Experiences in Higher Education: A Focus on Nursing and Midwifery. (Routledge Research in Nursing and Midwifery) 220 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <752-259>
ISBN 978-1-032-78160-0 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book considers the structure and demographics of the workforce in nursing and midwifery higher education, observing the gender divide, highlighting the impact of intersectionality and exploring the challenges and opportunities this provides. Divers and Chenery-Morris look at the power of clinical practice, the perception of nursing and midwifery as 'women's work', perceptions of meaning around being female, social mobility, race, sexuality, the 'caring role', academic identities and the role of men. To investigate these issues, they introduce intersectional case studies of the lived experiences of women working in higher education and make connections to the wider international literature, in particular sociological, feminist and gender theories.The chapters are linked to larger questions that encompass the purpose of universities more generally, including social mobility, generating new knowledge, challenging irrelevant practices or those rooted in colonisation and reflexivity culminating in visions of the future for the professions. Showcasing a range of experiences and voices from nursing and midwifery academics, this is an important contribution to discussions of gender in higher education and in the caring professions.It will interest advanced students and researchers from nursing, midwifery, education, sociology and gender studies.

This book explores women's entrepreneurship in Asia and analyses the experiences of women entrepreneurs through institutional logics. Covering nine different countries throughout Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Brunei, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, this book highlights a range of success stories, the supports, challenges, policy and practical implications to improve women's particiaption in entrepreneurship.Women in some of the Asian countries are subjected to cultural norms and beliefs systems which regard women as inferior. This book suggests actions by governments, universities, organizations and women themselves to help improve the position of women as entrepreneurs in Asia and explains how these actions are in line with UN's Sustainability Development Goal (SDG) of gender equality. The book also considers how women may contribute to developing businesses that focus on addressing corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.This book is an essential resource for women entrepreneurs, academics researching these areas, and student's studying women's entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship more generally. Women who are keen to start their own businesses and policy makers seeking to support the establishment of women led business in the Asian region will also find this useful.

Tilton, Jessica Huset, Women in Chinese Buddhism: Rights, Spirituality and the Path to Freedom. (Routledge Studies in Religion) 214 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <752-126>
ISBN 978-1-041-06421-3 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Tilton examines how cultural, political and economic forces exert pressures on the levels of freedom and equality for female Buddhists within the Buddhist community as well as women's rights within society.The book charts women's spiritual paths over four periods beginning with the Buddha and his revolutionary stance on women, to the creation of a fully ordained female Sa?gha in China - which peaks during the Tang dynasty - and finally to its resurgence in the late Qing and early Republic period, ending with its sharp decline to the near extinction during the Mao Zedong years (1949-1976). As the nun and lay communities arise directly from the broader female community, Tilton argues that there is a direct correlation between women's rights issues and those of liberties for Buddhist women within the Sa?gha; specifically, women's equality within "this world" as well as their right to achieve liberation from "this world," or sa?sara. Charting the evolution of Buddhist women in China across multiple centuries, this is a valuable resource for academics, researchers and students of Asian Studies, Buddhist Studies, as well as those interested in the intersection of gender and religion.

ISBN 978-0-268-21045-8 hard ¥7,392.- (税込) US$ 35.00

Abortion and America's Churches explores the surprising history of how American Christians think about abortion. Many people assume that Christians have steadfastly condemned abortion throughout the United States's history. Daniel K. Williams overthrows all assumptions about the unity, consistency, or simplicity of American Christian thought and belief in this groundbreaking new book. He demonstrates that churches in the United States have fought among themselves and with the wider culture as they developed and enforced their stance on abortion, revealing major struggles to define their often-changing positions. Far from a cynical exercise of political interest, changes and disagreements arose from serious theological considerations informed by each tradition's approach to the faith. These theological shifts-and corresponding shifts in interreligious political alliances-led to the changing fortunes of Roe v. Wade. By capturing the fascinating and complicated history informing each faith's position, Abortion and America's Churches restores much-needed context to the sharp polarization over abortion today.

Queer Print Cultures explores the intersections of queer studies, book history, and visual culture, challenging traditional narratives about printed objects and their cultural significance. This collection of essays examines how printed materials illuminate histories of gendered and sexual embodiment, revealing the complex interactions between texts, their creators, and their readers. With essays from scholars, librarians, archivists, and activists, the volume amplifies voices often excluded from mainstream discussions, focusing on individuals marginalized by gender, sexuality, race, and class. Contributors investigate how queer communities have utilized various forms of media - from science fiction and romance novels to zines and social media - to articulate queer identities and navigate questions of kinship and citizenship. In a time when expressions of identity are becoming increasingly diverse, Queer Print Cultures serves as an essential resource on the transformative power of print in shaping queer experiences and resisting societal norms.

The history of the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Memory Collective, an archive dedicated to preserving Chicana feminist knowledge of the 1970s and memory work. The late 1960s and early 1970s witnessed an explosion of publishing by Chicana activists as they took part in the Movimiento against oppression of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Today, thousands of these documents, including written works and oral histories, have been assembled by the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Memory Collective. Drawing on these unique resources, Fleshing the Archive traces the innovative Chicana knowledge projects of the Movimiento years. Seeking to think with the past rather than about it, MarIa Cotera explores transgressive sites and discourses of Chicana knowledge, from poems and essays to newspapers, bibliographies, and testimonies. Often published independently and distributed by readers themselves, these works embodied a praxis of feminist and queer consciousness-raising. Observing the startling convergences between Chicana praxis of the 1970s and digital knowledge production in the present, Cotera argues that the Chicana archive enables transformative moments of recognition across time that unsettle supposedly objective accounts of history. The materials preserved by Chicana por mi Raza offer Chicana scholars a model of teaching and learning liberated from a corporate academy that is increasingly hostile to intellectual inquiry.

ISBN 978-1-032-70670-2 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

The book explores co-authored dynamics of collective knowledge production in feminist and queer geographies. It explores how to use co-authorship as a generative feminist practice of care, endurance, and institutional transformation in support of feminism's next generation of intellectual communities.This book reveals the auto-biographical back-stories and emotional registers of geographical knowledge production through the co-written chapter intimacies of letters, poetry, interviews, and conversations. In doing so, it demonstrates the care-full and hope-full power of collaborations, mentorships, solidarities, and friendships to not only sustain lives and careers, but also to enable social change. It confronts neoliberal reification of individual scholarship as the celebrated metric of academic productivity and presents co-authorship as a practice and politics of generating hope through the dynamics of collective care that its collaborations, mentorships, solidarities, and friendships manifest and sustain.This is an interdisciplinary book at the interstices of Geography, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Education, Sociology, Women's and Gender Studies, and LGBTQ+ Studies. Its intended audiences are scholars of pedagogy, feminist and queer theory, and sexual and gender minority life. It targets upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, writers, and educators.

The lyrical and political power of nineteenth-century women reformers' life writing Paper Heroines studies the ways women represented their own and one another's lives in their personal diaries and their biographies of their contemporaries. Author Mollie Barnes urges us to read the life writing that emerged from among the relief-work networks of the South Carolina Lowcountry as deeply interconnected. By reading these women writers-Black and white, obscure and well-known-in conversation, Barnes presents entirely new portraits of these nineteenth-century freedom fighters. Like feminist and anti-racist leaders in our own moment, the women in Paper Heroines were often flawed. White women reformers sometimes created tensions, silences, revisions, and erasures within their print-culture networks, obscuring the lives and contributions of Black women. Black women developed counternarratives and counternetworks as they sought to reclaim their own life histories. What emerges from Barnes's exploration of these textual conversations is a story of complicated relationships that reveal the dynamism of women's lives in a place and time that was equally tumultuous and consequential.

Crooks, Katherine, At Home in the Cold: Domestic Culture in Arctic Exploration, 1890-1940. 336 pp. 2025:11 (McGill-Queen's U. Pr., CN) <752-1122>

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the idea of home came into focus as a place of warmth and comfort, associated with interior spaces and feminine touches. In the same period, writing about the Arctic as a frigid and inhospitable landscape proliferated. American readers were fascinated by stories of Arctic exploration and supposedly heroic feats of survival by rugged white men. Moving across these opposing pictures were a handful of white and northern Indigenous women who travelled between the eastern Arctic and America from 1890 to 1940 in connection with exploratory expeditions. Their journeys and recollections challenged prevailing ideas about home, the North, and the rightful place of women.At Home in the Cold brings to light the histories of five women involved in Arctic exploration. The stories of three white women explorers - Mina Hubbard, Josephine Peary, and her daughter, Marie Peary - reveal the importance of middle-class domestic ideology to understanding the history of Arctic exploration, as they sought to transform the Arctic into a more familiar environment. Their journeys are considered alongside the stories of two northern women - Eqariusaq, from Greenland, and Elizabeth Ford, born in Labrador - who travelled to the United States in connection with Arctic expeditions. They, too, made comparisons of eastern Arctic and American environments that were rooted in their experiences of the Arctic as a natural home.Representations of the Arctic as a difficult place to live continue to dominate outsider perceptions of the North as an inferior region, with significant implications for northern residents today. At Home in the Cold considers the colonial implications of home and domestic ideology in the Arctic context.

This volume addresses the historical neglect of women's contributions to language learning and teaching. While the historiography of language education has often focused on male-dominated frameworks, overlooking the pivotal roles women have played, the case studies in this book highlight female pioneers in language education across various cultural and linguistic traditions, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Covering a wide range of languages - including Greek, Arabic, French, and English - and exploring the gendered dimensions of language education, where social class and gender influence both the languages taught and the methods employed, the book reveals women's agency in shaping language education - and the systematic undervaluing of their contributions. In doing so, it calls for a broader, more inclusive historiography that recognises women's significant impact on the field, often in non-institutional and domestic contexts, and a reconsideration of the history of language education to acknowledge the contributions of women globally.

Faini, Marco (ed.), Doubting Women in Early Modern Italy: Gender, Uncertainty, and Agency. 180 pp. 2025:4 (Amsterdam U. Pr., NE) <752-1127>
ISBN 978-94-6372-168-4 hard ¥28,930.- (税込) GB￡ 100.00

This book explores early modern Italian women as agents of doubt. While women were often considered prone to doubt as a result of their natural "weakness," the essays gathered here reverse this view, demonstrating how women were able to embrace doubt as a means to expand their agency. Using doubt to contest both official narratives as well as religious and civil practices, women were able to carve out a space of their own in contemporary culture and society. The volume covers a period from the late fifteenth to the mid seventeenth centuries, offering critical insight into early modern doubt and investigating how doubt, like other categories of thought, could be gendered. Contributors address the topics of doubt and the Querelle des Femmes, religion, writing, and social networks. The volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to early modern doubt, combining gender studies with religious history, the history of literature, social history, and the history of science.

スコットランドにおける労働者階級の求婚、結婚、離婚　1855～1939年

ISBN 978-0-19-878931-4 hard ¥28,640.- (税込) GB￡ 99.00

This is the first book-length study of the history of working-class courtship and marriage in Scotland, from the establishment of civil registration to the introduction in 1939 of legislation which abolished irregular marriage and introduced civil marriage. Adopting a 'life course' approach, the book explores the social, economic, and cultural contexts of romantic partnerships, from courtship through to marital or family dissolution. Drawing from a wide range of sources that capture official accounts and discourses on the one hand, and the testimony and experience of working-class people on the other, the book offers a uniquely broad and textured view of courtship and marriage in this period. In so doing, it advances recent historiographical debates surrounding marriage in the Anglophone world, particularly the mutability of 'love', and whether the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries constituted a social and cultural 'turning point' for the working classes in terms of choice of marriage partner, the nature of the marital relationship, and the parent-child relationship. The book also engages with debates about extra-marital sexual activity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whether the family was more or less 'stable' than the contemporary family, and the different ways that marriages broke down before the advent of divorce reform. This has important implications for wider European and North American historiography, and raises timely questions about the primacy of the 'traditional family' in policy and public discourse.

This introduction presents in a readable, lively style an overview of feminism as an essentially contested field of theory and political engagement. Renee Heberle offers readers a unique approach to studying feminisms in the plural, combining historical and theoretical perspectives on the academic and political lives of the term "feminism." While the popular imagination identifies feminism in the singular with political activity about women's rights, this book introduces readers to diverse, historically significant, critical perspectives and interventions. Heberle's approach demonstrates the ongoing relevance of feminisms to contemporary political thinking and practice. This book will be particularly useful in upper division undergraduate classrooms and introductory courses at the graduate level of study. It is written in an accessible narrative form that will appeal to the non-academic reader as well.Key FeaturesReviews the historiography of the term feminism and perspectives and activism associated with the termIntroduces feminisms for their value in understanding complex dynamics of domination and power from interdisciplinary perspectivesExplains differences among self-identified feminists as thinkers and activists historically and in the contemporary moment Serves as an excellent springboard for classroom discussions of the nature and purpose of feminisms as complex and contested field of theories and practices Discusses contemporary work by Brittney Cooper, Sarah Ahmed, Nevedita Menon, and Veronica Gago to set up questions about how/why each contemporary author identifies as a feminist and what they describe as feminismShows how integral feminisms have become to academic, institutional and public understandings of historical and contemporary events and dynamicsFeminism: The Basics is a fresh introduction to our understanding of feminisms and feminist theories.

Hirschfeld, Magnus, Berlin's Third Sex. Ed. & tr. by J. J. Conway. 156 pp. 2025:5 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <752-1133>

In 1904, Berlin did not exactly look like a haven of tolerance. Sex between consenting males and gender non-conformity were illegal, and other forms of sexual expression faced oppressive societal taboos. But despite fear, secrecy, and blackmail, Germany's imperial capital nurtured a vibrant and diverse queer subculture.In Berlin's Third Sex, German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld offers a sympathetic glimpse into this queer life, depicting spaces such as gyms, bars, cafes, aristocratic drawing rooms, and tenement apartments that drew the "third sex" - exiles from contemporary gender and sexual norms. Intimate, striking, and surprisingly sentimental, Hirschfeld's account takes us from drag king cavaliers at all-night lesbian balls to "uranian" men darning socks for their soldier sweethearts, and from cigar-smoking trans men to sex workers in moonlit parks. Hirschfeld reveals vast networks of clandestine connections: coded vernacular, camp aliases inspired by pop culture, encrypted classified ads, and even a pre-Grindr telegraphic service for summoning temporary companions. Featuring extensive notes, an informative afterword, and an earlier pamphlet on same-sex attraction by Hirschfeld, this volume is of crucial importance for students, scholars, and readers interested in queer history.

Leng, Kirsten, Pleasure, Play, and Politics: A History of Humor in U.S. Feminism. (Expanding Frontiers: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality) 277 pp. 2026:1 (U. Nebraska Pr., US) <752-1140>

Pleasure, Play, and Politics is the first book to examine the roles humor played in U.S. feminism during the late twentieth century. Based on extensive archival research, it brings to light the stunning, moving, and frankly hilarious ways feminists have used satire, irony, and spectacle as they worked to build a better world. The story it tells includes activism and music, political mobilization and cartooning, stand-up comedy and demands for change. Kirsten Leng explores the ways culture and politics feed one another and shows how humor contributed to movement-building by changing hearts and minds, creating and maintaining a sense of community beyond a single issue, and sustaining activists over the long haul. The fascinating individuals, groups, and objects examined here-including the sex workers' rights group COYOTE, the Guerrilla Girls, Florynce Kennedy, and the Lesbian Avengers-don't just provide entertaining anecdotes or unsettle lazy assumptions that feminists are perennially dour and censorious: they offer a lesson or two for contemporary feminists and social justice activists. Taken together, they remind us that laughter can move us, that humor and anger can coexist, and that play and pleasure have a place in struggle.

Libresco Sargeant, Leah, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. (Catholic Ideas for a Secular World) 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Notre Dame Pr., US) <752-1142>
ISBN 978-0-268-21033-5 hard ¥5,913.- (税込) US$ 28.00

The Dignity of Dependence argues that women's equal rights depend on advocating for women as women. The world is not ready to welcome women as women; a culture that fears dependence and asks everyone to aim for autonomy and independence will always be a society hostile to women. Women are expected to care for those around them while living in a society that despises need and penalizes those who care for the weak. The Dignity of Dependence aims to liberate women and men from this corrosive and false ideal of the human person as strongest alone. Leah Libresco Sargeant argues that to thrive, human beings need to exist in webs of mutual dependence, not in isolating, radical autonomy. Women's equal dignity doesn't require women to deny biological reality or attempt to be interchangeable with men. Sargeant advocates for building a culture that accepts and celebrates women as they are rather than demanding that women keep their relationships and their bodies in check. The fight for women's dignity is a fight for a full, human dignity-a dignity that isn't threatened by dependence. It is our need for each other that makes us human.

This Handbook aims to provide a comprehensive, international cartography of Queer Death Studies, offering broad, in-depth insights into the field and its emergence through tentacular transdisciplinary networking. Taking research and art-making on death, dying, mourning and afterlife into new directions, it explores the multiple effects of contemporary necropolitics and the proliferation of death-worlds during the current period of Earth's history, 'The Anthropocene' or 'the Age of Man'.Informed by queer, critical posthumanist, decolonial and feminist approaches, the Handbook presents a unique variety of both critical and affirmative reflections upon the world's intersecting necropowers, and ethico-political potentials for social and environmental change. Contributors speculate on ways to reimagine life/death-relations as vibrant entanglements. They also investigate modes of mourning differently, resisting necropolitical regimes that deem human and non-human individuals and populations to be disposable and non-grievable when they differ too much from the normative modern subject, Universal Man, in terms of intersections of gender, racialisation, class, sexuality, embodiment, embrainment, geopolitical positioning or species.A thought provoking read, this Handbook is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, artists, teachers, students, death-professionals, (health)careworkers, activists and NGOs interested in tools to rethink and reimagine death, dying, mourning and afterlife from intersections of queering, decolonising, posthumanising and feminist perspectives.

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based and engaging inquiry into women's oppression and contemplative practices like meditation. It combines scholarly depth with embodied experiences and practices that interweaves individual, interpersonal and public relationships. Locating oppression as an internalized psychological response to toxic social messaging, the author distils research from multiple sources - cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, feminism, and Buddhist psychology - to consider how mindfulness might be deployed to help women navigate misogyny. The book draws on cross-cultural data from historical and contemporary sources, as well as interviews with longstanding women meditators and accounts from the author's own life, and illustrates misogyny through cases ranging in severity from overt violence to covert micro-aggressions and gaslighting. Introducing new theories and insights on the role of emotions and consciousness in oppression, the author proposes an anti-oppressive mindfulness agenda to help women navigate misogyny and recover from the aftermath of oppression. Mapping out a vision for how meditation might become a more effective path for women's liberation and wellbeing, this is an invaluable resource for educators, social workers, clinicians, and contemplative practitioners alike. It will also be highly relevant reading for students, educators, clinicians, and researchers of psychology, mindfulness and gender studies.

This book considers how methodologies, theories and analytical frameworks from gender studies can be applied to African societies' cultural, social, and historical contexts.The book advocates for the importance of feminist research practices which highlight women and their lived experiences within a gendered world in Africa. Gender studies has grown in prominence over recent decades, rooted in an awareness that gender is no longer just an issue in the margins but core to the analysis of the interaction of power, identity, and social relations in the world. This book considers how the field can evolve further in a post-colonial context, integrating indigenous and local knowledge systems and practices. Covering how gender is contested in African settings, the book outlines how researchers can approach the ways in which social and racial categories, class, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status intersect to produce gender-based violence.Overall, this book shows how gender-sensitive methodologies can help researchers to gain deeper insights into discrimination, inequalities, and gender-based violence, and thus contribute to better-adapted social and legal reforms.

Eastern Poland's inclusion in the Soviet Union through the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact initiated the local Ukrainian population's long and bloody resistance to Soviet rule. Even after the end of the Second World War, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) persisted in their fight for an independent Ukrainian state. The continued confrontations between the Ukrainian underground and the Soviet security service lasted until the late 1950s. While existing scholarship has focussed on the political aspects of this conflict, women's participation in opposing Sovietization is largely ignored.Women in the Ukrainian Underground foregrounds women's experience in the resistance movement during the conflict with the Soviet secret service between 1944 and 1954. Olena Petrenko describes various methods and waves of women's mobilization in the OUN and the UPA, and examines women's role as agents in the underground struggle. The book also considers female sexuality as an instrument of power and gendered experiences of violence. Petrenko's examination of archival records challenges stereotypes of female insurgents as bloodthirsty, easily compromised, or unthinking subordinates and considers women's representation in film and literature. Changes in memorialization practices demonstrate how the perception of women's activities in the nationalist underground has been shaped by competing historical views - in the USSR, among Ukrainian exiles, in post-Soviet Ukraine, and in Russia.Drawing on both Soviet and underground documents, as well as oral histories, Women in the Ukrainian Underground depicts the fates of the individual women involved in fighting communism.

Linguists have been interested in the relation of language and gender for a long time, yet only recently has the field diversified extensively in both its research questions and its methods. However, few attempts have been made to bring together these diverse perspectives in a systematic exchange of ideas and approaches. This volume offers a collection of the latest empirical research on language and gender from a variety of linguistic perspectives. Among other questions, the studies in this volume investigate the processing of gendered forms in spoken and written language, examine their morphosyntactic properties, model their semantics and pragmatics, and engage with the discursive and orthographic patterns of gendered language. They apply a wide range of corpus linguistic, experimental, and computational methods to a diverse set of languages, including Portuguese, Italian, Georgian, German, and English. This volume is a valuable resource for all scholars interested in the current state of research on language and gender and a much-needed kick-off for interdisciplinary collaboration in this field that takes into account the bigger picture.

This ground-breaking book explores the increased visibility of trans people in various academic fields of study including education. It asks who this visibility benefits, and how. With much of the trans studies literature in education yet to seriously consider trans as a global phenomenon, or anything beyond an embodied reality, the authors present new possibilities for trans as a global concept, interrogating the Western, trans-normative discourses in education scholarship. In doing so, they introduce a new, transnational lens for the discussion of trans and gender issues in higher education, explore the elucidation of a 'new' trans studies in education from various perspectives, and demonstrate how trans extends beyond an embodied or material construct.A bold reconceptualisation of trans in educational contexts, this book argues that the 'new' trans studies can - and must - alter how we think, know, view, feel, and describe the phenomenon of gender. It will appeal to scholars, faculty, graduate students, early career scholars, and critical educators with interests in gender and sexuality in education, gender-related scholarship, trans studies, and international education.

ISBN 978-963-386-751-8 hard ¥34,137.- (税込) GB￡ 118.00

The volume offers a comparative and transnational exploration of women's work in the twentieth century, concentrating especially on the turbulent periods after both World Wars and the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s. The spatial focus of the analysis is the northeastern Adriatic region, which includes the border areas of Italy and Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia. The study is one of the results of an international research project carried out with the support of the European Research Council. The seven studies in the book represent a cross-section of specific professional groups of women. The spectrum ranges from female teachers, clerks, tobacco and textile workers to intellectual, artistic or entrepreneurial activities of women. Although "gender" is a central category of analysis in the book, the aspect of representativeness was also observed in relation to other social factors such as race, class, generations, educational and religious background, etc. The main question of the study was the extent to which new state affiliations, geopolitical boundaries, and the establishment of new political regimes affected the women's labor market in the three postwar constellations.

Examining a range of sex trade accounts from state documents, activist groups, folk narratives, and key figures in Polish, Ukrainian, and Yiddish literature, this book applies new materialist perspectives to cultural history, coloniality, and imperiality in the study of Europe's eastern borderlands.The text centers on late 19th- and early 20th-century contexts, with eastern Galicia and Lviv as its focal point. However, these narratives flow across time and space, stretching back to the early modern period and continuing to the present across cities in the Americas, Asia, and along the Mediterranean Sea. The book addresses the convergence of sex trade stories with older narratives, including links to early modern abduction accounts and antisemitic tropes. It also examines the involvement of prominent activists whose personal lives contributed to modern research in psychology and sexuality such as Bertha Pappenheim ("Anna O.") and Karl M. Baer. Its groundbreaking approach, unsettling notions of center and periphery, is relevant to study of a myriad of geographic contexts worldwide and to both historical analysis and present-day situations.This volume is intended for undergraduates, postgraduates, specialists and general readers interested in east-central Europe, gender, coloniality/imperiality, migration, technology and modernity, narrative and literary studies, and new materialist approaches.

The study of gender in early Christianity has been one of the catalysts for new historical insight into the early Jesus movement and beyond. By focusing on the construction of various kinds of masculinities in early Christian texts, both biblical and extra-biblical, and by showcasing a number of examples of the reception of such texts in the construction and discussion of masculinities, the essays collected in this volume draw attention to a kind of gender that is often in equal measure overlooked as it is influential in the shaping of communities and societies, i.e., masculinities in all their diversity and with their different effects on those embodying them and those encountering them. The volume seeks to contribute to the study of early Christian literature and its reception, to the study of gender in the (Christian) theological tradition, and to gender studies in general.
