Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les droits de l'homme contre les femmes. Poursuivant sa grande enquête au cœur de l'exception politique française, Eliane Viennot aborde ici, après L'invention de la loi salique (Ve-XVIe siècle) et Les résistances de la société (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècle), la période cruciale qui va de la Révolution à l'Empire. Par l'étude de nombreux documents d'époque, elle montre que les femmes de ce temps, habitées par des modèles d'héroïnes que l'Ancien Régime n'avait cessé de célébrer, se sont investies dans la " régénération de la patrie " avec un enthousiasme identique à celui des hommes, qu'elles ont revendiqué haut et fort l'exercice des mêmes droits et qu'elles ont bien souvent réussi à convaincre leurs proches. Mais que les hommes au pouvoir, nourris de l'idéal rousseauiste de la " séparation des sphères " autant que d'Histoires de France vidées de toute référence faite aux femmes, n'ont eu de cesse de renforcer le " privilège masculin " – et cela quels que soient les désaccords existant entre eux. Mettant fin à des pouvoirs féminins séculaires, réservant la citoyenneté et les améliorations du système scolaire aux seuls hommes, ne pensant qu'à conforter leurs positions en légiférant sur le divorce et l'héritage égalitaire, travaillant à un Code civil garant des puissances paternelle et maritale, s'activant à faire taire les contestataires, ils ont jeté les bases d'un ordre masculin qui, sous couvert d'égalité, de liberté et de modernité, perdurera jusqu'à la fin du XXe siècle en essaimant dans une bonne partie du monde.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Gender and the Law by : Stéphanie Hennette Vauchez
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Gender and the Law written by Stéphanie Hennette Vauchez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent is the legal subject gendered? Using illustrative examples from a range of jurisdictions and thematically organised chapters, this volume offers a comprehensive consideration of this question. With a systematic, accessible approach, it argues that law and gender work to co-produce the legal subject. Cumulatively, the volume's chapters provide a systematic evaluation of the key facets of the legal subject: the corporeal, the functional and the communal. Exploring aspects of the legal subject from the ways in which it is sexed and sexualised to its national and familial dimensions, this volume develops a complete account of the various processes through which legal orders produce gendered subjects. Across its chapters, each theoretically ambitious in its own right, this volume outlines how the law not only acts on the social world, but genders it.
Book Synopsis Potential History by : Ariella Aïsha Azoulay
Download or read book Potential History written by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionately urgent call for all of us to unlearn imperialism and repair the violent world we share, from one of our most compelling political theorists In this theoretical tour-de-force, renowned scholar Ariella Aïsha Azoulay calls on us to recognize the imperial foundations of knowledge and to refuse its strictures and its many violences. Azoulay argues that the institutions that make our world, from archives and museums to ideas of sovereignty and human rights to history itself, are all dependent on imperial modes of thinking. Imperialism has segmented populations into differentially governed groups, continually emphasized the possibility of progress while it tries to destroy what came before, and voraciously seeks out the new by sealing the past away in dusty archival boxes and the glass vitrines of museums. By practicing what she calls potential history, Azoulay argues that we can still refuse the original imperial violence that shattered communities, lives, and worlds, from native peoples in the Americas at the moment of conquest to the Congo ruled by Belgium's brutal King Léopold II, from dispossessed Palestinians in 1948 to displaced refugees in our own day. In Potential History, Azoulay travels alongside historical companions—an old Palestinian man who refused to leave his village in 1948, an anonymous woman in war-ravaged Berlin, looted objects and documents torn from their worlds and now housed in archives and museums—to chart the ways imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics. Rather than looking for a new future, Azoulay calls upon us to rewind history and unlearn our imperial rights, to continue to refuse imperial violence by making present what was invented as “past” and making the repair of torn worlds the substance of politics.
Book Synopsis Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy by : Jérôme Brillaud
Download or read book Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy written by Jérôme Brillaud and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy focuses on chance and scripted encounters as sites of tensions and alliances where new forms, ideas, meanings, interpretations, and theories can emerge. By moving beyond the realm of traditional hermeneutics, Jérôme Brillaud and Virginie Greene have compiled a volume that vitally illustrates how reading encounters represented in artefacts, texts, and films is a vibrant and dynamic mode of encountering and interpreting. With contributions from esteemed academics such as Christie McDonald, Pierre Saint-Amand, Susan Suleiman, and Jean-Jacques Nattiez, this book is a multidisciplinary collaboration between scholars from a range of disciplines including philosophy, literature, musicology, and film studies. It uses examples chiefly from French culture and covers the Early Modern era to the twentieth century, while providing a thorough and representative array of theoretical and hermeneutical approaches.
Book Synopsis La France, les femmes et le pouvoir by : Eliane Viennot
Download or read book La France, les femmes et le pouvoir written by Eliane Viennot and published by Librairie Académique Perrin. This book was released on 2006 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le deuxième volume de cette grande enquête au cœur de l'exception française commence avec l'arrivée au pouvoir d'Henri IV, premier roi à parvenir sur le trône au nom de la " loi salique ". Il se termine deux siècles plus tard, à la veille de la Révolution française. Croisant les différents domaines où se jouent les rapports de force entre hommes et femmes (politique, économie, droit, culture, religion...), Eliane Viennot met en lumière le double mouvement, très conflictuel, qui caractérise toute cette période : d'une part le début de la " longue marche " vers l'égalité ; d'autre part la nouvelle offensive qui se met en place pour bloquer cette perspective, au nom du respect prétendu de la " différence naturelle des sexes ". Que la querelle sur les femmes soit ancienne, nous le savions déjà. Qu'elle ait rebondi avec cette vigueur d'une génération à l'autre, de l'égalité des droits à la masculinisation de la langue française, en passant par l'accès au savoir et la capacité des femmes à gouverner, voilà qui n'avait encore jamais été montré.

This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'âge d'or de l'ordre masculin La France, les femmes et le pouvoir | 1804-1860 Quatrième étape d'une étude magistrale sur La France, les femmes et le pouvoir depuis le ve siècle, ce volume explore les six premières décennies du XIXe siècle. D'un empire à l'autre, en passant par le retour de la monarchie et celui de la République, la période a vu se consolider la domination des hommes sur les femmes à un point jamais atteint jusqu'alors en France. Entreprise difficile et conflictuelle, dans une société où la question de l'égalité des sexes était débattue depuis la fin du Moyen Âge, et où tant de femmes en avaient fait la démonstration. D'où le déploiement sans précédent de constitutions, de lois, de mesures règlementaires, de théories pseudo-scientifiques, de discours historiques délibérément muets sur les femmes, mais aussi de violences verbales, physiques et symboliques destinées à asseoir le nouvel ordre et à confiner le sexe dit " faible " dans les emplois les plus déqualifiés, loin des lieux de pouvoir et d'excellence. Le tout sans parvenir à désarmer celles et ceux qui pensaient qu'une autre société était possible, et qui, exploitant toutes les failles du système, se donnèrent peu à peu les moyens de changer la donne, pour que l'égalité, la liberté, ne restent pas le bien des frères.
Book Synopsis La rédaction administrative et législative inclusive (Open Access) by : Alexandre Flückiger
Download or read book La rédaction administrative et législative inclusive (Open Access) written by Alexandre Flückiger and published by Stämpfli Verlag. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si le privilège grammatical du masculin a pu être justifié autrefois par "la supériorité du mâle sur la femelle", l'argument est aujourd'hui indéfendable. Sur les traces des pays nordiques et anglo-saxons, la francophonie évolue, à divers rythmes, vers des pratiques de rédaction inclusive. Ce dernier terme comprend aussi bien la mise en évidence du féminin dans le langage que l'ensemble des procédés de neutralisation du genre, permettant d'inclure aussi les personnes non binaires. Après une introduction sur l'intérêt de la démarche, cet ouvrage décrit un moyen d'action souple à disposition des autorités désireuses de promouvoir l'égalité: le comportement modèle de celles-ci, pariant sur les vertus incitatives que les législateurs et les administrations peuvent provoquer en montrant l'exemple. Un tour d'horizon des méthodes et des pratiques germanophones et anglophones précède l'analyse de la situation en France, au Québec, en Belgique, dans les Etats d'Afrique francophone et en Suisse.

Book Synopsis The Other Enlightenment by : Carla Hesse
Download or read book The Other Enlightenment written by Carla Hesse and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolution created a new cultural world that freed women from the constraints of corporate privilege, aristocratic salons, and patriarchal censorship, even though it failed to grant them legal equality. Women burst into print in unprecedented numbers and became active participants in the great political, ethical, and aesthetic debates that gave birth to our understanding of the individual as a self-creating, self-determining agent. Carla Hesse tells this story, delivering a capacious history of how French women have used writing to create themselves as modern individuals. Beginning with the marketplace fishwives and salon hostesses whose eloquence shaped French culture low and high and leading us through the accomplishments of Simone de Beauvoir, Hesse shows what it meant to make an independent intellectual life as a woman in France. She offers exquisitely constructed portraits of the work and mental lives of many fascinating women--including both well-known novelists and now-obscure pamphleteers--who put pen to paper during and after the Revolution. We learn how they negotiated control over their work and authorial identity--whether choosing pseudonyms like Georges Sand or forsaking profits to sign their own names. We encounter the extraordinary Louise de Kéralio-Robert, a critically admired historian who re-created herself as a revolutionary novelist. We meet aristocratic women whose literary criticism subjected them to slander as well as writers whose rhetoric cost them not only reputation but marriage, citizenship, and even their heads. Crucially, their stories reveal how the unequal terms on which women entered the modern era shaped how they wrote and thought. Though women writers and thinkers championed the full range of political and social positions--from royalist to Jacobin, from ultraconservative to fully feminist--they shared common moral perspectives and representational strategies. Unlike the Enlightenment of their male peers, theirs was more skeptical than idealist, more situationalist than universalist. And this alternative project lies at the very heart of modern French letters.
Download or read book Painted Love written by Hollis Clayson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing book, Hollis Clayson provides the first description and analysis of French artistic interest in women prostitutes, examining how the subject was treated in the art of the 1870s and 1880s by such avant-garde painters as Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, as well as by the academic and low-brow painters who were their contemporaries. Clayson not only illuminates the imagery of prostitution-with its contradictory connotations of disgust and fascination-but also tackles the issues and problems relevant to women and men in a patriarchal society. She discusses the conspicuous sexual commerce during this era and the resulting public panic about the deterioration of social life and civilized mores. She describes the system that evolved out of regulating prostitutes and the subsequent rise of clandestine prostitutes who escaped police regulation and who were condemned both for blurring social boundaries and for spreading sexual licentiousness among their moral and social superiors. Clayson argues that the subject of covert prostitution was especially attractive to vanguard painters because it exemplified the commercialization and the ambiguity of modern life.

Book Synopsis The Violence of Modernity by : Debarati Sanyal
Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.

Book Synopsis The Perfect Servant by : Kathryn M. Ringrose
Download or read book The Perfect Servant written by Kathryn M. Ringrose and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perfect Servant reevaluates the place of eunuchs in Byzantium. Kathryn Ringrose uses the modern concept of gender as a social construct to identify eunuchs as a distinct gender and to illustrate how gender was defined in the Byzantine world. At the same time she explores the changing role of the eunuch in Byzantium from 600 to 1100. Accepted for generations as a legitimate and functional part of Byzantine civilization, eunuchs were prominent in both the imperial court and the church. They were distinctive in physical appearance, dress, and manner and were considered uniquely suited for important roles in Byzantine life. Transcending conventional notions of male and female, eunuchs lived outside of normal patterns of procreation and inheritance and were assigned a unique capacity for mediating across social and spiritual boundaries. This allowed them to perform tasks from which prominent men and women were constrained, making them, in essence, perfect servants. Written with precision and meticulously researched, The Perfect Servant will immediately take its place as a major study on Byzantium and the history of gender.

Book Synopsis The Colonizer's Model of the World by : J. M. Blaut
Download or read book The Colonizer's Model of the World written by J. M. Blaut and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This influential book challenges one of the most pervasive and powerful beliefs of our time--that Europe rose to modernity and world dominance due to unique qualities of race, environment, culture, mind, or spirit, and that progress for the rest of the world resulted from the diffusion of European civilization. J. M. Blaut persuasively argues that this doctrine is not grounded in the facts of history and geography, but in the ideology of colonialism. Blaut traces the colonizer's model of the world from its 16th-century origins to its present form in theories of economic development, modernization, and new world order.
