PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRONo processo de libertação da mulher questiona-se o potencial emancipador do direito. A crença das feministas liberais na assimilação da mulher pelo direito deu lugar ao desencanto das feministas culturais na igualdade formal e à afirmação da diferença. Com as feministas radicais desenhou-se a crítica ao direito como status quo, que as feministas pós-modernas levaram mais adiante afirmando que o direito é causa e produto da desigualdade e a necessidade de um novo paradigma no direito. Os métodos jurídicos feministas questionam os métodos jurídicos tradicionais herdados da concepção moderna de Estado liberal, e apresentam uma nova perspectiva do direito, capaz de identificar os pontos em que a sua aplicação reforça as assimetrias de poder e de as corrigir. O estudo do crime de violação e do assédio sexual demonstra as diferentes perspectivas que o direito pode assumir na resolução dos problemas que se colocam às mulheres, e como por vezes se dá a absorção das reformas legais e a sua transformação pela ideologia patriarcal.
In women s liberation process, law is questioned in its emancipating potential. Liberal feminism belief in law assimilationism gave rise to cultural feminists disenchantment in formal equality and to difference affirmation. Radical feminists draw critics to law as a status quo, critics post-modern feminists took further stating law as inequality cause and product, and also the need for a new paradigm in law. Feminist juridical methods question the traditional methods inherited form liberal State modern conception, and present a new perspective in law, able to identify and correct law where its application reinforces power asymmetries. Violation and sexual harassment study aims to demonstrate how law can assume different perspectives in solving women s problems and how, sometimes, legal reforms are absorbed and transformed by patriarchal ideology.

There has been much academic work on autonomy and on identity in both political theory and feminist theory. Although this work provides valuable insights, there is arguably less theory that considers both. In part, this is the result of the predominance of a particular liberal position on autonomy depicting an isolated individual. Both communitarians and feminists seek to correct this and argue for a different view of autonomy that takes into account the situated self, but there is little discussion of the identity of this self. Also, feminist theory on identity has mostly been concerned with exposing the extent to which identity is tainted by power and by patriarchy. Inevitably there is little discussion of autonomy. These theorists seek to show the lengths to which autonomy, as a means of liberation, is an illusion. However, this thesis seeks to pursue a different approach. It combines some of the issues raised by feminist theory and contemporary political theory around questions of identity and autonomy with the application of the history of political thought to these questions. The concept of autonomy and identity constructed here hopes to go some way to avoiding the imposition of rigid identities and instead suggests that identity is better understood as changing, multiple, but also something we need to take control of ourselves. In order to support this version of identity there needs to be a concept of autonomy which denotes self-direction to control our identity. As well as control this thesis puts forward a notion of autonomy as a process which means that we have degrees of autonomy, it uses the notion of recognition, it considers the impact of a 'masculine' approach to autonomy and it emphasises autonomy as dynamic.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This PhD thesis, On Fate and Fatalism: Photography and Fatal Theories, is a twopart practice-led enquiry comprising a book of photographs and an exegesis. This exegesis, entitled Photography and Fatal Theories, is my written interpretation and response to two bodies of artwork presented in my book, On Fate and Fatalism, in which I examine the notion of fate and fatalism through a photographic practice. This project proceeds by posing the question: how can notions of fate and fatalism be explored, articulated and interpreted in a photographic practice? In my series, Femme Fatalist: Woman With Taxidermy, which comprises Part One of my book On Fate and Fatalism, I examine the notion of fate with pertinence to postfeminism and argue that the discourse of postfeminism is enclosed in a discourse of how women relate to popular culture and consumption. My femme fatalist is a parody of the postmodern femme fatale trope, and through conceptualizing popular postfeminism as a form of fatalism, I present a critique of conspicuous consumption as being an insufficient form of postfeminist empowerment. I suggest that the notion of the abject offers a perspective on the importance of the fatal to subjectivity in postmodernity, and my interest in the fatal follows through to my series, Body Bags: “I am a Trash Bag”, which comprises Part Two of my book of photographs. In this second series, in which I conceptualize the plastic bag as the quintessential icon of postmodern consumption, I move toward a consideration of waste as a means to explore the notions of fate and fatalism. Through this investigation I find that to be a fatalist, and to believe in fate, has lost much of its meaning in postmodernity, and I suggest that practice-led research offers opportunities for a meaningful reconsideration of fate and fatalism’s relevance to discussions of postmodern subjectivity and discourses of consumption.

This thesis examines the Women in Peacebuilding Program (WIPNET) of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) and the Raging Grannies, two current women’s movements at the frontlines of organizing for peace in their respective contexts. Based on fieldwork in West Africa and North America, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis of relevant documents, the thesis locates these groups within the wider politics of both the feminist movement and the peace movement. The thesis draws on three bodies of literature: feminist international relations, especially literature on women and war, feminist analyses of security and the relationship between militarism and patriarchy; peace studies, especially the concepts of the “positive” and “negative” peace, conflict transformation, and nonviolence; and social movement theory, especially in reference to collective identity and tactical repertoires of protest. The thesis investigates the relationship between “women”, “motherhood”, “feminism” and peace, concluding that, while women peace activists may organize around gendered identities, the relationship between women and peace is more complex than an essentialist position would propose. A detailed analysis of the tactical repertoires used by women peace activists examines activists’ gendered use of bodies and the manipulation and exploitation of gender and age stereotypes. This is followed by an analysis of the internal and external outcomes of activism, such as personal empowerment, collective identity formation, and policy impacts. The study concludes that women peace activists operate on understandings of “peace” and “security” that are distinct from those of mainstream actors; that they manipulate, challenge, and subvert gender stereotypes; and they use a range of protest and peacebuilding tactics, some of which attract reprisals from the state. Women’s peace activism also creates new political opportunities for women to express opposition to patriarchal militarism, thus challenging the marginalization of women within international and national politics on issues of peace and security. Following Cynthia Cockburn (2007), the thesis draws conclusions not about what women’s peace activism definitively is, but rather what it can look like and what it might achieve.

Graham, Elaine. „The implications of theories of gender for Christian pastoral practice and theological formulation“. Thesis, University of Manchester, 1993. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.620104.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The influence of feminist theology upon Christian pastoral practice and theological discourse has been growing in significance since the late 1960s. The critical impact of feminism has been to challenge many of the received traditions and conventions as sectional and androcentric; and its reconstructive impetus has exposed neglected areas of pastoral need, generated novel patterns of ministry, and articulated more inclusive models of religious language and theological metaphors. However, such practices and debates are also conducted within a social context of relations between women and men, and concern the experience of inhabiting a culture as a gendered person. Thus theological reflection on pastoral practice cannot pursue its deliberations in isolation from wider debates concerning questions of gender ontogeny, gender relations and the cultural representations of women and men. This thesis, therefore, considers the significance of theories of gender for Christian pastoral practice and theological formulation. It begins by interrogating a comprehensive selection of material from a wide range of disciplines in the human and social sciences. This reveals a model of human nature, agency and self-understanding that is necessarily self-reflexive; gender emerges not as an ontological category, but as the product of human practices by which culture and social relations are constituted. Cultural values relating to the nature of human ontology, epistemology, subjectivity, agency and teleology construct the norms by which such practices are organized. Christian pastoral practices are also embodiments of values and truth-claims. Historical and contemporary writings in pastoral theology exhibit a diversity of sources and norms by which models of pastoral practice have been directed and informed. If human experience as gendered renders the core truth-claims of purposeful human practices as contingent, contextual and provisional, then the articulation and evaluation of the normative principles of purposeful pastoral practice must rest upon forms of practical reasoning generated by the intentional community itself. The work of several social theorists is examined in order to construct critical criteria for a model of phronesis sufficient to reflect the contingency of human experience without collapsing into self-absorption or relativism. By regarding practical knowledge as positional, relational and embodied, communities may affirm the specificity and integrity of their own truth-claims, whilst recognizing the alterity at the heart of human identity. Part Three concludes by proposing a new disciplinary identity for Pastoral Theology; in the light of the preceding engagement with theories of gender, it is to be characterized as a critical phenomenology of pastoral practice. Pastoral practices sensitive to human experience as gendered will aim to build communities which resist the foreclosure of gender hierarchy and ontological difference, and see to realize a community grounded in the shared humanity of women and me. Such practices are theologically disclosive, too, in that a recognition of the 'Other' beyond the boundaries of our own particularity points to the possibilities of a transcendent, divine dimension amidst, and beyond, the immediacy and concretion of the pastoral encounter.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em CriminologiaÉ sabida da dicotomia que existe na nossa sociedade em relação ao género masculino e feminino. Sabemos o quão estigmatizadas são as mulheres em detrimento dos homens por terem o estereótipo de serem frágeis, sentimentais e com fraca força física enquanto que o homem tem como estereótipo ser rude, forte e mais irracional que as mulheres agindo mais vezes sem pensar e movidos pelos seus sentimentos mais negativos de ira ou raiva. Tendo isto em conta, é mais fácil prever um homem capaz de matar alguém que uma mulher e quando esta o faz é logo associada a um ato masculino o que não corresponde à verdade. Ambos os géneros são capazes de matar sendo por isso de interesse que hajam estudos acerca desta problemática. Para isso será feita uma revisão da literatura acerca de todas as envolvências neste assunto. O presente estudo tem como objetivo traçar um perfil da mulher portuguesa que já tenha cometido o crime de homicídio. Nesta sequência, sendo este projeto de graduação uma proposta de realização de uma investigação, a mesma terá como instrumento a realização de entrevistas às mulheres que estejam a cumprir pena pelo crime de homicídio e a análise de processos especificamente de mulheres homicidas para que possa ser feito um cruzamento de dados com o intuito de, então, traçar o perfil.
It is known of the dichotomy that exists in our society in relation to the male and female gender. We know how stigmatized women are to the detriment of men because they have the stereotype of being fragile, sentimental, and physically weak, whereas man has a stereotyped of being rude, strong, and more irrational than women, acting more often without thinking by moving of their more negative feelings such as anger. With this in mind, it’s easier to predict a man is more capable of killing than a woman, and when she does so it’s soon associated with a male act that doesn’t correspond to the truth. Both genres are capable of killing and therefore of interest are studies on this problem. For this, a review of the literature on all the implications in this subject will be made. In this sequence, since this graduation project is a proposal for conducting an investigation, it will have as an instrument the interviewing of women who are serving a sentence for the crime of homicide and the analysis of cases specifically of homicidal women so that it can be done a crossing of data in order to then draw the profile.

The purpose of this degree project is to examine to what extent certain groups in society are represented in the teaching material in upper secondary schools in Sweden. Through the scrutinizing of a selected number of English textbooks, the intention is to analyse texts and images to see whether representation of individuals on the basis of ethnicity, gender, gender identity and sexual orientation occur in the material. Another aspect of the essay is to identify possible stereotypes regarding the mentioned categories. The analyses draw on a number of theories: postcolonial, feminist and gender, as well as queer theories, in order to relate possible non-representation in the teaching material to the key concept of otherness. Furthermore, the concepts of hegemony and heteronormativity serve an important role in the analyses of the material as they expose dominant structures in society which tend to give certain groups authority over others.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Feminist theories emerged out of the revolutionary enthusiasm that swept the Western world during the late eighteenth and nineteenth century Europe. Based on the assumption that all persons have "inalienable or natural" rights upon which governments may not intrude, feminists in Europe and America advocated that equal rights should be extended to women who up to this point were not considered legal beings separate and deserving of these rights. Most African writers and feminists have argued that since most of the theories of feminist jurisprudence have their roots in this Euro-centric context, they cannot be applicable to African women and should therefore be discarded. The thesis acknowledges that to a certain extent their assertions are true. For years feminist jurisprudence has been restricted to an academic engagement with the law failing to take into account the practices and customs of different communities. It has largely been the realm of the middle class bourgeois white female and therefore has been inaccessible to the African woman. The thesis aims, however, to prove that these theories of feminist jurisprudence although Euro-centric have a place in the understanding and advancement of African women's rights in South Africa. In Chapter One the writer traces the history of South African women's rights and the laws that affect African women. Chapter Two presents the emergence of feminist theories and categories of feminism. The writer then seeks to identify the misunderstandings and tensions that exist between the two. The narrow conception of Euro-centric feminism has been that its sole purpose has been the eradication of gender discrimination, however, for African women in South Africa they have had to deal with a multiplicity of oppressions that include but are not restricted to gender, race, economic and social disempowerment. This is dealt with in Chapter Three. It is the opinion of the writer that despite these differences feminism does play a critical role in the advancement of women's rights in South Africa. Taking the South African governments commitment to the advancement of universal rights, the writer is of the opinion that African women can look to the example set by Western feminists, and broaden these theories to suit and be adaptable to the South African context. The answer is not to totally discard feminist theories but to extract commonalities that exist between African and European women, by so doing acknowledging that women's oppression is a global phenomenon. This is the focus of Chapter Four. To avoid making this work a mere academic endeavour, the writer in Chapter Five also aims, through interviews, to include the voices of African women and to indicate areas that still need attention from both the lawmakers and women's rights movements (Feminists). Finally, the writer aims to present a way forward, one that is not merely formal but also substantively attainable.

Con el objetivo de analizar desde un enfoque feminista la organización
social y jurídica de los cuidados en el Estado español, prestando especial
atención al modelo de cuidados que subyace en su regulación, así como al
impacto de género y derechos que conlleva, la presente Tesis se estructura en
tres capítulos.
Asumiendo que el significado de los cuidados es complejo y controvertido,
en el primer capítulo se ahonda en su concepto y en las críticas feministas
respecto a su organización jurídica y social. A través fundamentalmente del
análisis filosófico desde un enfoque de género y de derechos, se evidencia el
pensamiento liberal, capitalista y patriarcal que subyace en el sistema de
cuidados y se cuestiona en qué medida ese modelo de atribución de derechos
y responsabilidades de cuidado es coherente con los derechos humanos, en
cuanto fines últimos del Estado Social de Derecho.
El segundo capítulo se dedica al análisis de la organización jurídica de los
cuidados en el ordenamiento jurídico español, teniendo presentes asimismo las
normas supraestatales de derechos humanos que establecen obligaciones y
orientaciones en esta materia. Dicho análisis normativo se sustenta en las
metodologías propias del Feminismo Jurídico, con la finalidad de poner de
relieve los derechos y responsabilidades de cuidado que reconoce y el impacto
de género y derechos que conlleva dicha regulación.
Por último, en el tercer capítulo, se valora el alcance, la efectividad y las
consecuencias sociales de dicha regulación a través del análisis sociológico del
Derecho y se argumenta por qué razones sería conveniente avanzar hacia otro
modelo de organización de los cuidados en el marco del Estado Social y
Democrático de Derecho. Con ese fin se recogen las voces de personas que
se ven directamente afectadas por las normas, ya sea porque precisan de
cuidados o porque asumen la responsabilidad de cuidar de otras personas. A
sus experiencias, se suman las reflexiones aportadas por las expertas
entrevistadas y las conclusiones de estudios e informes publicados al respecto,
que permiten defender la necesidad imperiosa de repensar la organización
jurídica y social de los cuidados.
En definitiva, es preciso avanzar hacia otro sistema de cuidadados que,
asumiendo nuestra interdependencia y diversidad, garantice el bienestar
integral de todas y cada una de las personas y una asunción equitativa y
razonable de la responsabilidad de cuidar.With the aim of assessing from a feminist standpoint the social and legal model for care in Spain, putting specific emphasis on the care system which is conceived by its regulatory framework as well as its impact on gender and rights, the present PhD Thesis is structured in three chapters: Based on the assumption that the meaning of the term care is complex and controversial, the first chapter explores the notion of care and the feminist criticisms vis-á-vis its legal and social organization. By means essentially of a philosophical analysis from a gender and rights perspective, this chapter stresses that the care system is underlain by the liberal, capitalist and patriarchal schools of think underlie It also questions to what extent this model - that allocates rights and duties in relation to care- is consistent with human rights, which are the ultimate aim of any State based on the social rule of law. The second chapter focuses on the assessment of the care legal regime under the Spanish legal order, taking also into account supranational human rights rules that establish duties and guidance on this topic. This regulatory analysis is based on Legal Feminism methodologies, in order to highlight those rights and duties with respect to care that are recognised as well as the impact of this regulatory framework on gender and rights. Finally, the third chapter evaluates the scope, effectiveness and social consequences of the referred regulatory framework through the assessment of the sociology of Law. This chapter also argues why it would be convenient to move towards another organization of care within the framework of States based on the social rule of law. For this purpose, it reflects the views of people that are directly affected by the relevant rules, either because they require care or have assumed the duty to look after other individuals. These experiences are also supplemented with reflections resulting from interviews of experts and the conclusions contained in reports or studies published on this topic, which allow us to sustain the essential necessity to rethink the care system. In conclusion, it is necessary to move towards another care model that – while assuming our interdependence and diversity- guarantees the integral wellbeing of everybody as well as a fair and reasonable allocation of the duty to assume care obligations.

This thesis is about a problem of interest to reading theorists, psychological anthropologists and cultural studies researchers alike: why we find some narratives, plots, and images compelling and what this phenomenon can tell us about the cultural bases of human motivation. Gesturing to the interdependence of emotion, cognition, and motivation, the notion of the '(dis)positioned self' is proposed as a conceptual tool by which to address how motivation is both acquired and expressed in the way the self as 'feeling-mind' reads, that is, negotiates an interpretation of the signifying systems of a text to render it personally meaningful. (Dis)position allows us to overcome the sociocultural determinism of French structuralist and some poststructuralist reductions of the self to a precipitate of cultural constructs by reconceptualizing the interpreting self as an embodied, affective agent who employs unconscious knowledge that itself draws on another form of sociality. On this account, reading performance is culturally informed action and interpretations are motivated. Emotion is introduced as symptomatic of the intrapsychic investments which mediate how readers internalize cultural knowledge. The thesis looks at three soundings from social discourse--Janice Radway's Reading the Romance; The Singing Detective, a contemporary metafictional text; and the literature and group therapy practices associated with the codependency movement--in order to examine how presuppositions about emotion and the psychical reality of fantasy appear in cultural representations of the 'ill self as reader' while being fundamental to psychological notions of the self upon which healing practices themselves depend for their efficacy.

This thesis is an investigation of the journeys towards a sense of identity or selfhood, achieved through honest and accurate appreciation of the lives of others, made by several female characters in the fiction of A.S. Byatt and the late Iris Murdoch. I believe that because Byatt and Murdoch value literature as a serious business that teaches as well as entertains, their writing can play a significant role in illuminating the lives of women by means of its portrayal of the resolution of women’s struggles. Women’s lives, despite the rise of feminism, are still not equitable. While many women strive to attain a balance of independence and intimacy – what Thelma Shinn calls a “meronymic” relationship – and connection within community, many do not succeed in this endeavour. The numerous challenges they face are difficult and confronting, and the stories of their efforts resemble journeys through a labyrinth or maze. Byatt acknowledges Murdoch as her literary mother, frequently citing Murdoch’s belief in the ability of literature to improve human life. While Byatt and Murdoch are interested in what characters learn about their relations to others and the world, they make it clear that characters are constructs, not real people. Yet their fiction is an ongoing exploration of the nature of reality and the nature of selfhood, particularly that of women. According to feminist theories, women are more constrained than men, and are therefore the focus of this study, but their experience of constraint is a more complex matter than experience of mere undifferentiated oppression, and is better represented by the structure of the labyrinth than that of the simple, linear journey. I agree with Byatt’s and Murdoch’s view of the importance of fiction as a means of commenting on human relationships, particularly with the notion of the need for connection within community. The labyrinth, together with the Bildungsroman, provides a paradigm for the complex experiences of Byatt’s and Murdoch’s female characters. All the characters in this study struggle to flee from restraint, seek purpose and agency in the world through interaction with others, and escape a feminised Plato’s Cave by learning to see more accurately, and all but one emerge from the maze into an autonomous and independent existence in community with others.

Essa dissertação tem como objetivo analisar três livros de Lee Maracle, autora canadense de origem indígena, com base nas teorias autobiográficas, pós-coloniais e feministas, visitando brevemente a história canadense, para contextualizar a produção literária desta autora. A primeira publicação de Maracle ocorreu em 1975, com o lançamento de sua autobiografia Bobbi Lee Indian Rebel. Esta dissertação, entretanto, visa discutir a segunda edição desse livro, ampliada em 1990. A narrativa autobiográfica permite-nos conhecer as lutas, dificuldades e corrente situação dos povos indígenas canadenses, para que, no próximo momento possamos analisar a evolução da escrita de Maracle, na publicação de seus romances. Sundogs (1992) foi o primeiro romance da autora. Por meio de sua narradora em primeira pessoa, Marianne, Sundogs desdobra a trilha da jovem protagonista na busca de sua identidade indígena. O mais recente romance de Maracle, Daughters are Forever (2002), apresenta uma introdução mitológica da formação de Turtle Island, a América, baseada nas tradições orais indígenas. O romance narra a trajetória de Marilyn, uma assistente social, por volta de seus quarenta e cinco anos, que sofre pelo seu distanciamento de suas filhas, causado por sua própria maternidade inadequada. O nítido aperfeiçoamento das técnicas literárias ao longo dos anos, transforma Lee Maracle em uma das vozes de uma minoria oprimida que quebra o silêncio através da literatura indígena, denunciando a realidade de seu povo marginalizado há séculosThis dissertations objective is analyzing three books by Lee Maracle, First Nations Canadian author, based on postcolonial and feminist theories, briefly visiting the Canadian history, in order to contextualize Maracles literary production. Maracles first publication took place in 1975, with the release of her autobiography Bobbi Lee Indian Rebel. This dissertation, however, intends to discuss the second edition of this book, enlarged in 1990. The autobiographical narrative allows us to become familiar with the struggles, difficulties and actual situation of Canadian Indigenous peoples, which permits our subsequent analysis of the evolution of Maracles writing at the publication of her novels. Sundogs (1992) was the authors first novel. By the first-person narrator, Marianne, Sundogs unfolds the young protagonists search for her Indigenous identity. The latest novel by Maracle, Daughters are Forever (2002), presents a mythological introduction to the formation of Turtle Island, America, based on Native oral traditions. The novel narrates Marilyns trajectory, a mid-fifties social worker that suffers from her daughters distancing, due to her poor motherhood.

Lindgren’s character Pippi Longstocking is well-known all around the world. Acclaimed by feminist movements, she has been considered as a proud role model, striving for equality, who has significantly influenced many young children. However, scholars agree that she has not had the same impact in every single country due to problems that stem from the translation work’s ethic. Thus, this study strives to investigate translation’s power on readership’s perception and decryption of Lindgren’s character by comparing narrative and lexical choices of two French translations of Pippi’s books. Based on the translator’s invisibility concept and feminist translation theories, the results show that Pippi Longstocking’s depiction can purposefully be altered by the translator to match French cultural standards. By impeding readers to get a full and unbiased picture of the character, the translator suppresses the subversiveness of Lindgren’s work. Thus, the forced domestication process causes the loss of key features that make Pippi iconic.

This thesis examines theories of masculinity produced by feminist activists and intellectuals in France. These theories are situated, firstly, within the context of a history of the French women's movement and the production of feminist theory and, secondly, within the context of a broader debate on masculinity which is currently taking place amongst journalists, men's groups and non-feminist intellectuals. Two specific areas of French feminism, in which a growing interest in men and masculinity can be identified, are examined in detail. These are academic feminist theories of gender and feminist activism around the problem of male violence. The research demonstrates why feminists active in these areas developed an interest in the study of men and masculinity, and analyses the theories which have resulted from these developments. It shows that gender theorists have placed an increasing importance on both terms of the relation between men and women, and on the nature of the relation itself. It explains the growing awarenessin recent years of the necessity to study men as gendered subjects, no longer considering them as a gender-neutral norm from which women are seen to differ. Certain trends are identified in the way French feminists have approached the problem of male violence, including a shift in emphasis from the victim to the perpetrator. The current interest in the prevention of male violence necessitatesa n analysis of its causes, which involves a consideration of the links between violence, masculinity and male power. As well as considering the contributions made by French feminists to the masculinity debate, this thesis argues that, despite media assertions of the 'death of feminism', there is still feminist activity in France; that the term 'French feminism' is attributed very different meanings in and outside France; and that the split between the women's movement and feminist research, as well as the lack of exchange between French and Anglo-American thought, could be hindering the development of feminist theories of men and masculinity.

The aim of this thesis was to examine the conditions for democratic bildung-oriented education for students in the school science discourse. This is something that the Swedish curriculum is based on and thereby the education should develop students' capacity for social, political and cultural awareness. The theoretical framework used is grounded in critical didactics and feminist theories which assume that students should feel involved and get their voices heard. The Swedish national test in chemistry (2009-2012) and student answers (198n) from one of the items in the 2009 test have been analyzed using discourse analysis. The first study explored the norms and values present in the national tests in chemistry, in relation to people, society and nature. The second study focused on student’s evaluative language in their free-text answers to one of the items. Thereby attitudes in student answers were projected in relation to the norms and values found in the first study. Finally, the student answers were used once more in a third study, where students’ positioning in relation to the scientific discourse in the chemistry test (2009) was explored, as well as which feminist figurations these subject positions express. The results show that the national tests harbor an elitist image and anandrocentric bias.The normative message is that students should adopt an objective, rational, non-judgmental and non-emotional role. Topics connected to young people’s everyday life, that might interest students, are rare. Contrary to the normative messages mediated by the tests, students use evaluative and embodied language to a high extent in their answers. They choose to write about topics that are close to their everyday life and they show that they are emotionally engaged. Through feminist figurations theories used in the third study one can see how the student-subject positions offer resistance in different ways. This is shown in their criticism of science and technology, human society and nature. The students' responses have embraced an embodied chemistry that can be interpreted as teaching based on bildung and deliberative discussions.

In this essay, J.K. Rowling’s series about Harry Potter is analyzed by the use of feminist theories and gender studies. The main aim of the essay is to examine how Hermione Granger is portrayed. The analysis is based on three of the novels, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’sstone, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This essay argues that Hermione, in the first novel, is depicted as a stereotyped female character, but that she develops and grows over the course of time, which leads her character to deviate from the traditional gender stereotypes. The results are supported by different examples from the novels, which relate to the used theories and previous research.I denna uppsats analyseras J.K. Rowlings serie om Harry Potter med hjälp av feministiska teorier och genusstudier. Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Hermione Granger är porträtterad. Analysen är baserad på tre av romanerna Harry Potter and the Philosopher’sstone, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban och Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Uppsatsen argumenterar att Hermione, i första romanen, är skildrad som en stereotypisk kvinnlig karaktär, men att hon under tidens gång utvecklas och växer vilket leder till att hennes karaktär senare avviker från de traditionella könsstereotyperna. Resultaten stöds av olika exempel från texterna som relaterar till de använda teorierna och tidigare forskning.

Le féminisme anglo-saxon déploie une activité intellectuelle intense entre 1963 et 1975. Les théoriciennes féministes abordent de nouveaux champs analytiques et ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives théoriques. Tandis que la « question de la femme » est actualisée, le féminisme semble se scinder en trois grands courants de pensée. Durant la même période, les mouvements contestataires bouleversent les fondements culturels, sociaux, économiques et politiques des sociétés américaine et britannique. Les multiples analyses qui traitent du sujet « femme », de même que les non moins nombreux prolongements théoriques qui en découlent, permettent de distinguer les fractures idéologiques qui opposent le féminisme égalitaire, le féminisme radical et une autre alternative féministe : la théorie de l’androgynie. L’éclairage particulier qui est apporté aux paradigmes analytiques entrevus par Betty Friedan, Ann Oakley, Shulamith Firestone, Ti-Grace Atkinson et Germaine Greer, ainsi qu’aux perspectives réformatrices, révolutionnaires ou libératrices qu’elles développent, témoigne non seulement, de l’évolution de la pensée féministe vers d’autres grilles d’interprétation et de compréhension de la problématique « femme » mais démontre surtout l’interdépendance qui existe entre le féminisme et la société. Le premier s’empare des cadres idéologiques universels, des débats intellectuels, du changement des mentalités, du progrès technologique ou encore des turbulences sociales, culturelles, économiques et politiques pour les décliner au « féminin », contribuant ainsi à l’enrichissement et à l’évolution de la deuxièmeAnglo-Saxon feminism is marked by an intense intellectual effort, between 1963-1975. Feminist theorists tackle new analytical fields and open new theoretical areas. As the “woman’s question” is being actualized, feminism seems to divide into three main groups of thinking. During the very same period, anti-establishment movements shake the cultural, social, economic and political foundations of American and British societies. The many analyses that deal with the subject “woman”, as well as the no less numerous theoretical extensions, enhance the ideological divisions that oppose egalitarian feminism, radical feminism and another feminist expression : the theory of “androgyny”. Highlighting the analytical paradigms produced by Betty Friedan, Ann Oakley, Shulamith Firestone, Ti-Grace Atkinson and Germaine Greer, and highlighting their subsequent reformist, revolutionary or liberating concepts, helps to show the evolution of feminist thinking towards a new interpretation and a new understanding of the problem called “woman”. It also demonstrates the interdependence of feminism and society. The former takes possession of universal ideological frameworks, intellectual debates, the evolution of mentalities, technological progress, or social, cultural, eonomic and political troubles, and give them a feminist tune. In so doing, feminism acts upon society and reshapes it

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis is a study of the Girl and moving image artworks. The Girl—capitalised to mark it as conceptual question, not an age, stage or designation—is examined as a dimension of feminine subjectivity that amplifies but also challenges specific forms of feminist thought and aesthetic practices. It is addressed as a question in this thesis, specifically posed to a text by feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), and artworks by two artist/filmmakers, Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) and Eija-Liisa Ahtila (b. 1959). In Chapter 1, I formulate ‘the Girl’ as an ontological question and a dimension of feminine subjectivity. I draw upon this philosophically in a close reading of the chapter on ‘The Girl’ in The Second Sex (1949) by Simone de Beauvoir, establishing the distinct temporality of her situation of becoming. In Chapter 2, I explore the relationship between the Girl and cinema in films by Chantal Akerman, analysing Portrait d'une jeune fille de la fin des années 60 à Bruxelles (1993) and No Home Movie (2015). For the Girl to be analysed I have created a concept for Akerman’s cinema: the cinéfille, making the Girl a cinematic position in addition to a philosophical position. Focusing on the emergence in the 1990s of new forms of the moving image, in Chapter 3 I elaborate the distinctive relation between the Girl, the moving image and temporality by analysing a multi-screen installation artwork by Eija-Liisa Ahtila titled If 6 Was 9 (1995). The chapter considers the relationship between philosophical and feminist theories of difference, duration and the moving image, situating the figure of the Girl as a critical agent for imagining the future in terms of radical transformation. The study aims to contribute to debates on the moving-image from a feminist perspective on the relationship between the Girl and durational aesthetic practices. The Girl forms a thread which draws together this thesis by also tracing of theoretical genealogy from de Beauvoir’s historical inscription of the questioning of the feminine through Akerman’s cinematic exploration and then Ahtila’s movement into new forms of philosophical and aesthetic processes. The thesis identifies a clear historical shift of thinking the feminine at the intersection with significant technological changes, where the context of our encounter becomes vastly different. To understand contemporary feminist practice in the moving image, these three instances that I examine register the shifts, reveal complexity and have far-reaching significance for the Girl to the question of the feminine and subjectivity addressed to moving image artworks as a site for exploring such becomingness.

Iser's concept of cognitive subject, we argue that the reader, against the inmanents literary theories that have prevailed for decades, does not read the literary text in a neutral and passive way but that always incorporates their knowledge and social, historical, cultural, ideological, identity and sexual coordinates. Therefore, the aim of our work is to explain and demonstrate how a female reader, substantiated by the discursive structures of the narration and due to her feminist theoretical contents and her woman's point of view in the world, can re-build to certain female characters of the galdosian roman —only to those who have an important narrative unit and a subversive elements— from a feminist perspective

As a product of the western feminist movement, feminist films have become an important tool for displaying feminist connotations and reflecting femalec onsciousness. With the advancement of society and the awakening of female consciousness, feminist film theory, criticism and practice have gradually taken a place in the film system dominated by male discourse power, and have constantly tried to speak for women on the big screen. After China's reform and opening up, feminism took root in China. In the 1980s, under the influence of western feminist film theory and practice, Chinese female filmmakers also began to try to express the situation and demands of Chinese women through films. After more than 40 years of drastic changes in reform and opening up, major changes have taken place in alllevels of current Chinese society. Chinese feminism and feminist films have also changed in accordance with the trend of the times. When the next generation of feminist filmmakers stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, they incorporate the spirit of the new era for the expression of feminism. This article selects two representative Chinese feminist films, which are "Woman Demon Human" and "Send Me to the Clouds". Through the comparison and analysis of the thematic contents, narrative styles and lens languages of the two films, the differences between the two are revealed in three aspects of feminist connotation,which include the subjective consciousness, female desires and gender differences.作为西方女性主义运动的产物，女性主义电影成为了展现女性主义内涵和反映女性意识的重要工具。随着社会的进步和女性意识的觉醒，女性主义电影理论、批评与实践在以男性话语权为主导电影体系中渐渐占据了一席之地，并不断尝试在大荧幕上为女性发声。中国改革开放后，西方女性主义思潮进一步影响中国。八十年代中国的女性电影人在西方女性主义电影理论与实践的影响下，也开始尝试通过电影来表达中国女性的处境和诉求。在经历改革开放四十多年的剧变后，当下的中国社会各个层面都发生重大变革。中国的女性主义以及女性主义电影也顺应时代的潮流而改变。下一代的女性主义电影人站在前辈们的肩膀上，为女性主义的表达融入了新时代的精神。 本文从上世纪八十年代和近十年的中国影坛选取两部具有代表性的女性主义电影——《人鬼情》和《送我上青云》，并通过对两部电影在主题内容、叙事方式和镜头语言上的分析，发现两部电影在呈现女性意识的三个不同方面——主体性意识、女性欲望和性别差异上的表达呈现出不同的侧重点。由此，从而以小见大，从局部来窥见两个时代的女性主义电影所反映的女性主义的时代性内涵。

Feminist theories of international relations traditionally criticize realism as a representative of masculine values in the international relations. According to the feministic premises, the Czech foreign policy should be highly masculinises in the way of realistic discourse because of very low representation of women in foreign policy processes in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to analyse feminisation and masculinisation of the Czech foreign policy in cases of three events -- the terroristic attacks from September 11, 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This thesis points out the plurality of masculine and feminine values. From that reason it is not possible to adapt feminist critic of realism to the Czech foreign policy. The masculine values of the Czech foreign policy are determined more by the liberal constructivism.

Feminist theory is a vast area of discourse and, while the differences between the many tendencies are extremely interesting, it is beyond the scope of this thesis to engage in such an inquiry. I have chosen to conduct a critique of Habermas's theory of communicative action from a perspective informed for the most part by postmodern/poststructural feminism. I hope that my reasons for working within such a framework will become evident in the following chapters but, in my view, a postmodern/poststructural feminist perspective sharpens the critique of Habermas's theory precisely because it stands in such contrast to it.
For the purposes of this thesis, my critique will focus upon Habermas's most recent work - The Theory of Communicative Action, Volume I: Reason and the Rationalization of Society (1984), and Volume II: The Critique of Functionalist Reason (1987). Other works by Habermas will not be specifically addressed although references will be made to them as necessary to clarify his positions on various issues.Arts, Faculty of

A tese aborda a implementação pelo Poder Judiciário da Lei nº 11.340/2006, mais conhecida como Lei Maria da Penha. Esta consiste em uma política pública de gênero de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher. A fim de observar a resposta jurisdicional dada às mulheres que buscam o atendimento jurídico, a transversalização de gênero nas políticas públicas é analisada a partir dos dados produzidos por agências de pesquisa com enfoque de gênero. Toma-se o conceito de patriarcado como fundamental ao entendimento do fenômeno social da violência contra as mulheres, precisamente a violência doméstica. As possibilidades teóricometodológicas com base nas teorias políticas e feministas para o uso da construção do objeto de estudo, a relação do Poder Judiciário e a Lei Maria da Penha, tornam-se um desafio, pois, justamente, ao construí-lo é necessário desfazer compreensões misóginas, discriminatórias e excludentes que dizem ao que é ser mulher. A abordagem é no sentido da visibilização das mulheres enquanto um coletivo social passível de análise social. Para isso, torna-se importante ter o entendimento sobre os sentidos e significados das conquistas do movimento de mulheres por políticas públicas de enfrentamento à violência. Com isso, estabelecemos uma construção teórica para auxiliar a reflexão sobre o poder, a dominação masculina, e a recepção do Poder Judiciário sobre as desigualdades e as violências perpetradas contra as mulheres. A análise empírica e a leitura de documentos e legislações nos auxiliam no estudo e na reflexão da implementação da Lei Maria da Penha, bem como seu valor simbólico para a sociedade que esta representa.The thesis addresses the implementation by the Judiciary Branch of Law 11.340/2006, known as the Maria da Penha Law. This consists of a public policy of gender to confront violence against women. In order to observe the jurisdictional response given to women who seek legal assistance, gender mainstreaming in public policies is analyzed from the data produced by research agencies with a gender focus. The concept of patriarchy is taken as fundamental to the understanding of the social phenomenon of violence against women, precisely domestic violence. The theoretical-methodological possibilities based on the political and feminist theories for the use of the construction of the object of study, the relation of the Judiciary Power and the Law Maria da Penha, become a challenge because, precisely, when constructing it it is necessary to undo misogynistic, discriminatory, and excluding understandings that tell what it is to be a woman. The approach is towards the visibility of women as a social group capable of social analysis. For this, it becomes important to have an understanding of the meanings and meanings of the achievements of the women's movement for public policies to confront violence. With this, we established a theoretical framework to support reflection on power, male domination, and the reception of the Judiciary on inequalities and violence perpetrated against women. The empirical analysis and the reading of documents and legislation help us to study and reflect on the implementation of the Maria da Penha Law, as well as its symbolic value for the society it represents.

The main objective of this dissertation is to seek answers to three questions: 1) Why did it take so much longer for women than men to win the vote? 2) Why did it take women so long to be elected in any numbers to national legislatures?, and 3) What has been the political significance of women's entry into national legislatures? The answers are sought by examining an aspect of the development of parties ignored by most political scientists, namely the relationship between women's suffrage, party politics and patriarchal power. An empirical study on Iceland is used to examine this aspect in detail. In the period 1908- 1926, women in Iceland ran separate lists at local and national elections. The fate of the women's lists in Reykjavik is explored and so are the policies of women councillors. Iceland was not the only country to see the emergence of separate women's political organizations that ran candidates at elections. The outcome was nowhere as successful as in Iceland. Through the rise, and decline, of the women's lists and women's policies in Reykjavik, the factors that allowed women to carry out their own maternalistic politics within a male-run system are illuminated. The dissertation draws on numerous theories and postulations within political science. It also challenges many of them. Theda Skocpol's structured policy approach proves highly useful in examining the larger political environment and factors that stimulated or hindered women's politics and policies in Reykjavik. The approach does not, however, account for male power as a force on its own. The structured policy approach is challenged by providing another important factor, the role of individuals and their ideas as a political force. The conclusion is that patriarchal theories are needed within political science, and it is suggested that political parties, their origin and working methods, provide excellent starting points from which to examine male power, or patriarchy, as a political force of its own.digitalisering@umu

In a moment when visibility and representations of LGBTTQAI+ people are proliferating in North American society, it is important to think critically about how visibility and representations function and to interrogate their meanings and a/effects. This thesis uses data produced from five semi-structured interviews conducted with lesbian identified participants living in non-urban spaces in Ontario to demonstrate the importance of a continued lesbian specificity, to draw attention to heteronormativity and heterosexism in Ontarian society, to challenge femme invisibility and complicate the notion of femme privilege, and to move beyond the urban/rural binary as a way of making sense of sexuality. The methodological framework guiding this thesis draws on interpretive phenomenological analysis as well as feminist and queer methodologies, which facilitated a responsive and reflexive research process. This thesis is grounded in ongoing debates around identity politics and representation, drawing on literature from lesbian theories, lesbian-feminist histories, queer theories, heterosexism, heteronormativity and homonormativity, lesbian-feminist histories, white privilege studies, queer and feminist geography, and LGBTTQAI+ rural studies.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia ClínicaAlgumas teorias convencionais da Psicanálise acerca da mulher têm sido criticadas por serem determinadas por ideologias patriarcais e inadequadas à realidade psíquica das mulheres, recebendo também pouco apoio empírico tanto da Psicologia como de outras áreas. Tendo como base estas teorias psicanalíticas, procurava explorar-se o quanto psicólogos e estudantes de Psicologia concordavam com as mesmas e se tal se encontrava relacionado com aspetos da sua representação pessoal das mulheres. Foi aplicado um questionário com dois instrumentos desenvolvidos para este estudo (a Escala de Concordância com as Teorias Psicanalíticas acerca da Mulher e o Teste Semiprojetivo da Representação da Mulher) a uma amostra de conveniência de 101 Psicólogos e estudantes de 4º ou 5º ano de Psicologia (85 mulheres; média de idades de 27,2 anos). Existiu uma grande variabilidade entre sujeitos no acordo com as teorias psicanalíticas. Este surgiu mais ligado a variáveis pessoais (i.e., maior acordo em homens e sujeitos mais jovens) do que profissionais (i.e., modelo teórico, área). Um maior acordo relacionou-se com diversos aspetos da representação das mulheres: a uma representação menos vaga e mais precisa da mulher; a um maior foco no próprio como referência para a apreensão da mulher; a mais respostas narcísicas; a mais conteúdos morais e de aparência/sexualizados. Encontraram-se diferenças de sexo, idade, modelo teórico e área na representação pessoal da mulher. Estes resultados questionam o valor objetivo e universalizável das teorias psicanalíticas acerca da mulher, já que estas parecem estar consideravelmente relacionadas com um envolvimento pessoal, o que tem implicações na prática clínica. ------- ABSTRACT ------- A number of the conventional psychoanalytical theories about women have been criticized for being determined by patriarchal ideologies and inadequate to the psychic reality of women. They have also received limited empirical support from Psychology and other areas. Based on these psychoanalytical theories, we aimed to explore the extent in which psychologists and Psychology students agreed with them and if that agreement was related to aspects of their personal representation of women. A questionnaire containing two instruments developed for this study (ECTPM scale and TRIC semi-projective test) was administered to a convenience sample of 101 psychologists and 4th and 5th year Psychology students. It was found a considerable variability between subjects concerning the agreement with psychoanalytical theories. This agreement was more related to personal variables (i.e., it was higher in men and in younger subjects) than to professional variables (i.e., model, area). A higher agreement was related with several aspects of the representation of women: a less vague and more precise representation of women; a higher self-focus as reference for the perception of women; a higher amount of narcissistic answers; a higher amount of moral and appearance/sexual contents. There were differences in the representation according to gender, age, model and area of Psychology. These results question the objective and universalized value of these theories about women, since they seem to be considerably related to a personal involvement, which has practical implications.

The aim for this study is to compare Victoria Benedictsson’s position and views in the morality debate during the modern breakthough in the nordics. The works that I have choosen for this study is firstly Benedictsson’s book Money, published in 1885 and secondly the play Theories, written in 1887 and published in 1994. I will research whether or not Benedictsson’s position in the debate will change since there are only two years in between them. Money is published in the beginning of the morality debate and Theories at the end, wich will make the essence of the discussion.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Central to my analysis of Woolf's work are five novels: Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, The Waves. These are written in pursuit of Woolf's modernist project, but as I shall argue below, her modernism was at the same time a feminist subversion of conventions, and I will analyze the ways in which Woolf actually effects this fusion of her concerns in her texts. I will concentrate on her fiction in this thesis, an area of her work that has been, surprisingly, comparatively underemphasized in the recent, intense revival of interest in Woolf. Directed towards her centenary in 1982, the revival has at its centre a 'family' industry which includes Quentin Bell's biography, the publication of Woolf's innumerable letters and diaries, and previously unpublished material. As a consequence of this extensive, new access to Woolf's personal life, there has flourished a biographical and psychoanalytical criticism, but this latter has tended to focus on her actual mental illness rather than the possibilities of new readings of her texts, a relative neglect which this thesis hopes, to a degree, to remedy. The linkage of psychoanalysis and Woolf is not an arbitrary one, since the Hogarth Press has been Freud's English publisher since 1921. Leonard himself reviewed Freud's Psychopathology of Everyday Life. Though she was never treated by Freudian psychoanalysts, Woolf did meet Freud when he took refuge in England just before the war. It is not until towards the end of the 1930s that we can be certain, from the entries in her diary and her reading notebooks, that Woolf was actually reading Freud. ' Yet we can sense the great impact of Freudian psychoanalysis in her references to 'our psychoanalytical age'(CE II 142). She wrote a review called 'Freudian Fiction', in which she showed her dissatisfaction, not with Freud's own discoveries, nor with the principle of their use in fiction, but with the way a particular novelist (J. D. Beresford) had done so: 'It simplifies rather than complicates, detracts rather enriches'(CW, 154). shall seek to heed this caveat in the studies that follow. Contemporary feminism has, since the seventies, given impetus to this prodigious revival of interest in Woolf; its recent major emphasis has been the re-assessment of Woolf as a radical political thinker. Feminist assessments of Woolf's aesthetics (E. Showalter, Sidney Jane Kaplan) have often been on the whole negative, fundamentally continuous with the criticism of her by the politically committed writers of the 1930's or of Scrutiny: Virginia Woolf as hypersensitive, as a sheltered invalid lady unable to cope with a harsh 'reality'. A pioneer book by Herbert Marder in 1968 stressed the crucial importance of feminism in Woolf's art: 'far from being a mere excrescence on her work, feminism ... is essential to her conception of reality.' But the major shift in evaluation was initiated by American feminists around Jane Marcus, who aim to revolutionize the commonly accepted accounts of Woolf by emphasizing the political dimensions of her writing. These recent books and articles have valuably uncovered previously unknown or repressed aspects of Woolf, which offer the possibility of a new and fuller comprehension of her literary endeavours. Yet, because these works are eager to dispel the old image of ethereal aestheticism, they tend to eschew fullscale dealings with Woolf's formal experimentation, that series of works from Jacob's Room to The Waves which have conventionally been regarded as quintessentially Woolfian, which have supported the image of her work as beautiful, pure artefact, subjectivistic and hypersensitive. What is needed now is to radicalize the reading of precisely these novels and of the aesthetic behind them, and I have sought to bring the resources of contemporary critical and psychoanalytic theories upon them, stressing those aspects of theory which seem to me most germane and illuminating for each particular novel. I shall argue that Woolf's series of major experimental works, which are traditionally assigned to a gender-free category of 'modernism', can be interpreted as a quest for what she refers to as a 'woman's sentence' that would allow 'a woman [to] write exactly as she wishes to write', and what I refer to, in my title and throughout this thesis, as 'feminine writing'. Both modernism and literary feminism - projects which, as I shall suggest below, are uniquely conjoined in Woolf - are a questioning of a previously dominant mode of writing, and the crisis-of narrative that they represent is also a crisis of the self. Lacanian psychoanalysis illuminates this crisis of the subject by bringing Freud's work into relation with structuralist theories of language, and allows us to define feminine writing as a concern which addresses itself to the position of mastery maintained in the order of discourse. The 'feminine' can then be seen as the subversion of a mastery guaranteed by the 'Cartesian' subject or self which also sustains the narrative conventions that Woolf's experimental novels so effectively interrogate. Far from being a flight from social commitment into an arcane modernism, her experimental texts can, I shall argue, best be seen as a feminist subversion of the deepest formal principles - of the definitions of narrative, writing, the self - of a patriarchal social order.

Muslims have the starring role in the mass media’s curriculum on otherness, which circulates in-between local and global contexts to powerfully constitute subjectivities. This study inquires into what it is like to be a female, Muslim student in Ontario, in this post 9/11 discursive context. Seven young Muslim women share stories of their high schooling experiences and their sense of identity in interviews and focus group sessions. They also respond to images of Muslim females in the print media, offering perspectives on the intersections of visual media discourses with their lived experience. This interdisciplinary project draws from cultural studies, postcolonial feminist theory, and post-reconceptualist curriculum theorizing. Working with auto/ethno/graphy, my own subjectivity is also brought into the study to trouble researcher-as-knower and acknowledge that personal histories are implicated in larger social, cultural, and historical processes. Using bricolage, I compose a hybrid text with multiple layers of meaning by juxtapositing theory, image, and narrative, leaving spaces for the reader’s own biography to become entangled with what is emerging in the text. Issues raised include veiling obsession, Islamophobia, absences in the school curriculum, and mass media as curriculum. Muslim females navigate a complex discursive terrain and their identity negotiations are varied. These include creating Muslim spaces in their schools, wearing hijab to assert their Muslim identity, and downplaying their religious identity at school. I argue for the need to engage students and teacher candidates in complicated conversations on difference via auto/ethno/graphy, pedagogies of tension, and epistemologies of doubt. Educators and researchers might also consider the possibilities of linking visual media literacy with social justice issues.

This project explores storytelling tools for the collaborative work with persons in vulnerable situation, in this case, a group of unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan, living in Umeå, Sweden. The concept presented is the prototype of an eating experierence, BAHAM bolani: An idea for a social company where the participants are active into creating their own possibilities to stay in Sweden. With their own stories, they fill in the gap of how unaccompanied minors and asylum seekers are depicted in the dominant narrative. It is them providing meaning to the design concept. The theoretical approach is from a decolonising and feminist point of view, with collaborative design methods. In the discussion, I debate the need of more listening tools for the design community based on these theories, because they allow the designer to challenge their own cultural assumptions, and meet the participants in a more humble and equal way, especially when working with persons in vulnerable situations.

Feministische Mädchenarbeit fungiert als selbstkritisches, pädagogisch-politisches Angebot, das der Jugendarbeit zugeordnet wird und aus historischer Perspektive einen starken Bezug zur Frauenbewegung aufweist. Ursprünglich als geschlechtshomogener Schutzraum gedacht, hat sich feministische Mädchenarbeit seit ihrer Entstehung Ende der 1970er Jahr durch die Rezeption (queer-)feministischer und rassismuskritischer Theorien bzw. Konzepte weiterentwickelt: entstanden sind Trans*-Räume und Empowermenträume sowie das Konzept der heteronormativitätskritischen Mädchen_arbeit.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Vorliegende Dissertation greift in zeitgenössische Debatten queerer und feministischer Politiken durch die Analyse von Gegenwartsliteratur ein. Hatte die zweiten Frauenbewegung vertreten, dass im Zentrum politischer Veränderungen stets persönliche Veränderungen stehen, nutzt die Arbeit mit diesem Ausgangspunkt ein scheinbar anachronistisches Paradigma, um solche Narrative zu kritisieren, die Queerness sowie queere Politik und Theorie im Präsens, lesbischen Feminismus dagegen in der Vergangenheit positionieren wollen. These ist dagegen, dass die utopischen Impulse des lesbischen Feminismus der zweiten Frauenbewegung sich mit aktueller queerer Politik überschneiden und dass beide auf zu differenzierende Art Praktiken und Konzepte von Intimität in den Vordergrund stellen, die auf soziale Transformationen in größerem Maßstab verweisen. Die Erkundung der komplexen Weisen, in denen Politik durch Intimität praktiziert wird, erfolgt hier am Beispiel der Figur der Lesbe in der zeitgenössischen Anglo-Amerikanischen Literatur, speziell in Auseinandersetzung mit der Literatur der kanadischen Schriftstellerin Ann-Marie MacDonald. Mit Figur oder Trope der Lesbe im Zentrum der Analyse ist ein spezifischer historischer und politischer Kontext signalisiert. Die Lesbe sowie lesbian existence als eine feministische Praxis bieten einen produktiven Ausgangspunkt, weil beide im Lauf der Zeit oft und teils simultan als das Abjekt oder das idealisierte Objekt von sexueller und Genderpolitik konstruiert worden sind. Darüber hinaus markiert lesbischer Feminismus einen bestimmten zeitlichen Ort sowie eine politische Funktion und besetzt einen bestimmten Platz im feministischen und queeren Imaginären. Aufgabe der Dissertation ist es, die Potentiale herauszuarbeiten, die heute noch immer von der Figur der Lesbe und vom lesbischem Feminismus ausgehen, ohne dabei deren teils unbequeme Beziehung zum beachtlichen Einfluss der Queer Theory aus den Augen zu verlieren.This dissertation intervenes in contemporary debates in queer and feminist politics through an analysis of literary fiction. Taking as its point of departure the second-wave feminist claim that personal and intimate transformation are at the heart of political transformation, it uses a seemingly anachronistic paradigm to critique linear narratives that position queerness and queer politics and theory in the present and lesbian feminism in the past. It argues that the utopian impulses of second-wave lesbian feminism overlap with those of contemporary queer politics, and claims that both foreground practices and conceptions of intimacy that prefigure broader social change. Exploring the ways in which politics are enacted via intimacy, this dissertation takes as its object of study the figure of the lesbian in contemporary Anglo-American literature, specifically engaging with the fiction of Canadian writer Ann-Marie MacDonald. Situating the figure of the lesbian at the centre of this analysis signals a specific historical, political, and social context. The lesbian, as a figure or trope, or lesbian existence, as a way of doing feminism, offers a productive point of departure for such considerations because both have, over time, been variously and often simultaneously constructed as either the abject or idealized object of sexual and gender politics. Lesbian feminism signals a specific temporal location and political function and holds a particular space in the feminist and queer imaginary. While exploring both the influence of queer theory and politics in the political and theoretical structures of sexuality, and the unprecedented mainstreaming both of (certain versions of) non-heterosexuality and (certain versions of) feminism, this dissertation’s project is to consider the possibilities still generated by the figure of the lesbian and lesbian feminism, while considering its sometimes-uncomfortable relationship to the considerable influence of queer theory.

Feministische Staatstheorie analysiert den Staat in seinen vergeschlechtlichten und vergeschlechtlichenden Dimensionen. Konzepte des Kanons der Politikwissenschaft (wie Gesellschaftsvertrag, Staatsbürgerschaft, Recht, Gewalt) werden erweitert, indem deren Vergeschlechtlichung sichtbar gemacht wird. Ebenso werden neue Konzepte wie bspw. Maskulinismus, Privatheit, Reproduktions- und Verwandtschaftspolitiken in die Staatstheorie aufgenommen, um staatliche Machtausübung umfassend theoretisieren zu können.
