In 1987, statistics transformed rape from a rare and personal concern into an epidemic in popular consciousness. Mary Koss and colleagues conducted victimization surveys with thousands of college women, 1 in 4 of whom reported completed or attempted rape. This finding received tremendous attention in the 1980s, and continues to influence activists and state officials. Notwithstanding the importance of this and other scientific facts, scholars have rarely explored the role of scientists in shaping perceptions of and responses to sexual violence. This project addresses that gap in the literature, via the following questions: (1) how have scientists conceptualized sexual violence among adults; and (2) what social mechanisms enable, constrain, and otherwise influence scientific research on sexual violence? Drawing on insights from feminist science studies, I approach sexual violence as an intra-active phenomenon, and regard objects of study (sexual violence) as inseparable from agencies of observation (research instruments, researchers). Data came from three sources: content analysis of journal abstracts (N=1,313), in-depth assessment of texts in different subfields (N=84), and interviews with researchers (N=31). Ultimately, I argue that sexual violence research has been dominated by psychological inquiries, as well as gendered assumptions regarding who is most capable of perpetrating and experiencing rape. Scientists have produced a tremendous body of knowledge regarding the individual-level causes, individual-level outcomes, and prevalence of men’s sexual aggression toward women. Systemic forces and sexual violence that deviates from this particular gendered pattern remain underexamined. I further argue that scientific research on sexual violence is shaped by a range of social mechanisms that are particular to fields associated with questions of social morality and social movements including feminism(s).

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Irish authoress Anna Jameson’s artistic and personal production during her travel to Canada from December 1836 to December 1837, namely: her travel narrative, Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada (1838), the album of sketches she drew while there, and the letters she wrote during the period. A joint analysis of these three media reveals the political scope of the traveller-writer’s elaborating of her identity. Her generic negotiations — delivering a narrative at the crossroads between diary, letter and travel writing —, her ethnographic writing of the Indian, as well as her perception of the Canadian landscape, all serve a proto-feminist agenda, arguing first and foremost for the education of women. From Europe to Canada, in a perpetual shift between collective and individual identity, travelling enables re-envisioning: the representation of Canada becomes a revision of Great Britain, the writing of the Other turns into a reconstruction of the Self, and conversely. The travel narrative becomes the locus of the refiguration of Jameson’s identity, as her contact with Others — settlers or Indians —, at times through differentiation, at times through identification, enables her to rewrite herself as a free woman. The freedom which writing allows for is manifest in the play of identities, in the rambling through which Anna Jameson reconfigures the definition of woman in the 19th century

Full textMy study of contemporary feminine poetry in canada is a survey of the problems inherent in the critical approach to the poetic text. Starting with a semantic definition of poetry, my aim was to give some "lectures de l'imaginaire". After a definition of "l'imaginaire", i considered the image in the poets' writing. A survey of contemporary poetry in canada, was followed by a symbolical interpretation of eight women poets. At the end of the study it appears that women poets instead of showing an "imaginaire schizophrene" are looking for unity, for a "structuration d'un imaginaire synthetique" which suggests the possibility of a specific feminine mythopoiesis

Sabe-se que, funcionando como um espelho refletor das relações em sociedade, a literatura tem perpetuado, ao longo dos anos, perfis de mulheres estereotipadas segundo os preceitos da sociedade patriarcal que as emolduram no modelo de submissão, emparedamento e silêncio. Considerando que no século XX, sobretudo nas décadas de 60 e 70, movimentos feministas propiciaram a emancipação feminina, esta dissertação teve como objetivo principal investigar como as questões de gênero são retratadas na ficção de Jorge Amado, cujo elemento central é a mulher, nesse caso específico, na obra Tereza Batista Cansada de Guerra. Para tanto, foi fundamental o apoio nas teorias que abordam o estudo do gênero feminino e suas representações, bem como nos textos que se dedicam à crítica da obra amadiana. Nesse percurso, iniciado com uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o autor e suas criações literárias, bem como das representações da mulher na literatura brasileira, os dados obtidos foram alinhavados de forma a buscar as nuances de que se reveste a construção do perfil de Tereza Batista, na intenção de revelar em que medida o texto literário flagra e descortina situações sociais como uma forma de denunciar a violência e a opressão contra a mulher.
It is known that, working as a mirror reflecting relations in society, the literature has perpetuated over the years, profiles of women stereotyped according to the precepts of patriarchal society that frame the model of submission, walling and silence. Whereas in the twentieth century, especially in the 60s and 70s, the feminist movement brought about the emancipation of women, this dissertation aimed to investigate how gender issues are portrayed in the fiction of Jorge Amado, whose centerpiece is the woman in this case particular, the work Tereza Batista Tired of War. Therefore, it was essential to support the theories that address the study of females and their representations, as well as in texts dedicated to the critical work of Jorge Amado. Along the way, started with a literature search on the author and his literary creations and representations of women in Brazilian literature, the data were put together in order to get the nuances that are important to building the profile of Tereza Batista, in intended to reveal the extent to which the literary text busted and highlights social situations as a way to denounce the violence and oppression against women.

Esta tese é um estudo comparativo das relações que a sociedade civil, o parlamento e os governos estabelecem para integrar as questões de gênero no Estado brasileiro e canadense, desde a criação da “Plataforma de Pequim” em 1995, momento paradigmático para a incorporação das questões de gênero nas políticas e programas dos governos até o ano de 2011. O foco predominante foi dado no Brasil a partir de 2003 com a chegada do Partido dos Trabalhadores na gestão do país, e no Canadá a partir de 2006, com a gestão federal do Partido Conservador. Ao estudar as relações em prol da igualdade de gênero estabelecidas pela sociedade civil, pelo parlamento e governos, buscamos dar ênfase às enunciações de três segmentos: feministas, parlamentares e gestores públicos das políticas de igualdade. Ao longo desta pesquisa, constatamos a presença de diferentes constrangimentos e oportunidades políticas que atrizes e atores, de distintos espaços de fala, vivenciam para institucionalizar as questões de gênero no Estado brasileiro e canadense. A disputa das temáticas de gênero pelas feministas brasileiras e canadenses implicou, em muitos momentos, em um enfrentamento constante aos valores culturais arcaicos ainda presentes nas sociedades, as forças políticas conservadoras, e as orientações neoliberais que influenciam a ação dos estados. As conclusões apontam que o sucesso na disputa pela incorporação das questões de gênero no Estado depende da construção de alianças entre feministas, parlamentares e governo. O estudo mostrou, dessa maneira, que a igualdade entre os gêneros para as feministas, parlamentares e gestores públicos está distante da realidade dos dois países, já que nenhum deles tem oferecido oportunidades de inserção igualitárias para as mulheres na sociedade, na política e na economia. O estudo mostrou, dessa maneira, que se as alianças são forças impulsoras para a integração das políticas de gênero nos Estados, os seus avanços e os seus recuos; a igualdade entre os gêneros para as feministas, parlamentares e gestores públicos continua distante da realidade dos dois países, ainda que os índices de desigualdade se distanciem entre os dois países, já que nenhum deles tem oferecido plenas oportunidades de inserção igualitárias para as mulheres na sociedade, na política e na economia. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This thesis is a comparative study that investigates the integration and establishment of gender issues in civil society, parliament and government of both countries, since the creation of the Beijing Platform in 1995, which was a paradigmatic moment for the incorporation of political gender issues and governmental programs up to 2011. In Brazil, the significant fact occurred in 2003, when the Labours Party started to run the country. In Canada, the main fact happened in 2006, when the Federal Conservative Party came to power. By studying the relation established by civil society, parliament and government, in favor of gender equality, we emphasises the utterances of three segments: feminists, legislators and public administrators of equality policies. Throughout this research, we found the presence of different constraints and political opportunities that actors and actresses, from different places of speech, experienced in order to institutionalises gender issues in Brazil and Canada. The discussion concerning gender thematic, raised by Brazilian and Canadian feminists, triggered a constant confrontation related of cultural values remaining from archaic societies, conservative political forces, as well as, the neoliberal guidelines that influence the actions of states. The findings suggest that the success of the dispute to the incorporation of gender issues in the State depends on building alliances among feminists, parliament and government. The study showed that the gender equality for feminists, legislators and public administrators are distant from the reality of both countries, as none of them has offered opportunities for the inclusion of women in the society, politics and economy. In addition, the study showed that the alliances are the driving forces to the integration of gender policies in the States, their progress and their setbacks, the gender equality for feminists, legislators and public administrators are still far from the reality of both countries, even although the levels of inequality are different between them, as none of them has offered full integration and equal opportunities for women in society, politics and the economy.
