Download or read book French Women in Politics: Writing Power written by Raylene L. Ramsay and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although more women in France have entered political life than ever before, the fact remains that there are fewer women representatives in the French parliament than there were after the Second World War. In a new and original approach, the author presents an overview and analysis of the emerging body of text by or on women who have held high political office in France. The argument is that writing about women and politics has not just described or reflected women's slow but now substantial entry into political life; it has played a major part in shaping the parity debate and its outcomes. Interviews with political women, such as Huguette Bouchardeau, Simone Veil or Edith Cresson, inserted in the text, demonstrate the emergence and circulation of a new common discourse focused on the issue of whether women in politics make or should make a difference. A close reading of the various texts examined in this book and their connection to new public counter-discourses in France suggest that a re-writing of power is indeed occurring.

Download or read book Ottoman Women during World War I written by Elif Mahir Metinsoy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During war time, the everyday experiences of ordinary people - and especially women - are frequently obscured by elite military and social analysis. In this pioneering study, Elif Mahir Metinsoy focuses on the lives of ordinary Muslim women living in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. It reveals not only their wartime problems, but also those of everyday life on the Ottoman home front. It questions the existing literature's excessive focus on the Ottoman middle-class, using new archive sources such as women's petitions to extend the scope of Ottoman-Turkish women's history. Free from academic jargon, and supported by original illustrations and maps, it will appeal to researchers of gender history, Middle Eastern and social history. By showing women's resistance to war mobilization, wartime work life and the everyday struggles which shaped state politics, Mahir Metinsoy allows readers to draw intriguing comparisons between the past and the current events of today's Middle East.

Download or read book Caterina Cornaro written by Candida Syndikus and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2013 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caterina Cornaro (1454-1510) came from one of the most important Venetian families of her time and became the last queen of Cyprus. On the occasion of the fifth centenary of her death, an international conference was held in Venice in September 2010 - organised by the two editors of this volume. During that interdisciplinary event, well-known scholars from the fields of history, art history, literary history, archaeology, Byzantine studies and musicology presented the results of their most recent research across a broad subject area. The queen's biography and myth were traced, as well as the reception of this historical figure in art and on stage. Stress was laid upon socioeconomic and cultural phenomena resulting from the close contact between Venice and Cyprus during the Renaissance period, and also in focus was the literary production at Caterina's court 'in exile' in Venice and the neighbouring mainland. The present volume offers a collection of the conference's papers. The book contains the papers (in Italian, English and French) by / Il volume contiene i contributi (in lingua italiana, inglese e francese) di Monica Molteni, Candida Syndikus, Martin Gaier, Ursula Schadler-Saub, Lina Bolzoni, Rotraud von Kulessa, Tobias Leuker, Daria Perocco, Benjamin Arbel, Gilles Grivaud, Catherine Otten-Froux, Chryssa Maltezou, Tassos Papacostas, Lorenzo Calvelli, David Michael Metcalf, Arnold Jacobshagen, Angel Nicolaou-Konnari. Caterina Cornaro (1454-1510) venne da una delle più importanti famiglie veneziane del suo tempo e diventò l'ultima regina di Cipro. In occasione del quinto centenario della sua scomparsa si è tenuto in settembre 2010 un Convegno Internazionale di Studi, organizzato dalle due curatrici di questo volume. Autorevoli specialisti nei campi della storia, storia dell'arte, storia della letteratura, archeologia, musicologia e degli studi bizantini hanno presentato - in un'ottica interdisciplinare - le loro ricerche più recenti su un vasto ambito tematico. Questi atti ne raccolgono i risultati. Si ripercorre la biografia e il mito della regina Cornaro nonché la ricezione della figura storica nell'arte e sul palcoscenico. Vengono inoltre messi in risalto vari fenomeni socioeconomici e culturali nello stretto contatto tra Venezia e Cipro durante il periodo del Rinascimento. Infine, viene presa in considerazione la produzione letteraria alla sua corte 'in esilio' a Venezia e in Terraferma.

This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Eve à Brigitte Bardot. Depuis la mythique Ève, écoutant le serpent, en passant par Wu Zitan, l’impératrice de Chine, femme d’une beauté incomparable dont l’ascension sur le trône fut constellée de sang, jusqu’à Brigitte Bardot, une des premières impudiques du cinéma, découvrez l’Histoire des femmes les plus scandaleuses de tous les temps. Parmi elles : Isabeau de Bavière, reine nymphomane; Madame de Montespan, qui aurait participé à des messes noires, invoquant Satan afin d’éloigner toutes les maîtresses du roi Louis XIV; Caroline de Brunswick, qui trompait tellement son mari, le futur roi d’Angleterre, qu’elle ne put assister à son couronnement; Casque d’Or, la prostituée la plus célèbre du Paris 1900, pour qui se battaient des bandes de truands. Découvrez les parcours de femmes qui ont, chacune à leur époque, scandalisé l'opinion publique en défiant ses règles ! EXTRAIT Ce pas érotique présente l’immense avantage de laisser entrevoir les dessous des danseuses, des pantalons qui sont fendus à l’endroit approprié. Quelques années plus tard cette coquine fente sera proscrite, du moins sur scène. Mais, en attendant cette interdiction, La Goulue fait profiter ses clients de cet interstice coquin. Accompagnée de son partenaire, le filiforme Valentin le Désossé, géant de deux mètres avec ses souliers vernis, ses pantalons collants et son chapeau haut-de-forme, elle danse le « chahut », autre nom du cancan. Son curieux acolyte, qui travaille le jour chez son frère notaire et se transforme le soir en danseur émérite, éclipse en cet art toutes ses copines aux pittoresques pseudonymes : Louisette, Fernande, Rayon d’Or, la Torpille, Nana, la Sauterelle, Grille d’Égout (il lui manquait une dent sur deux), Georgette la Vadrouille, Cri-Cri, Nini-Pattes-en-l’Air, Mélinite (alias Jane Avril), la Môme Fromage ou encore Demi Siphon (qui mourra en faisant le grand écart !). Ensemble, ils deviennent célèbres dans l’univers mondain parisien.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les actrices ne furent pas de tout temps les bienvenues sur la scène de nos théâtres. Leur apparition, entre le XVIe et le XVIIe siècles, suscita de vives polémiques. Pourtant, partout où elle fut accueillie, l'actrice évinça l'acteur travesti, et devint en quelques années une figure centrale du théâtre. Pourquoi la femme, jusqu'alors bannie du jeu dramatique, fut-elle soudain fêtée sur la scène théâtrale européenne ? Comment cette révolution scénique put-elle s'opérer ? Quelles en furent les conséquences ? En partant à la découverte des premières comédiennes, ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qui s'intéressent au monde du théâtre et à l'histoire de nos sociétés. A travers cette nouvelle figure féminine, se dessinent en effet les profondes mutations culturelles qui agitaient l'époque, et dont le théâtre se faisait l'écho. De la prostituée à l'artiste accomplie, des personnalités variées et inattendues émergent de cette Histoire originelle de l'actrice.

Download or read book Conduct Books for Girls in Enlightenment France written by Nadine Berenguier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth-century, at a time when secular and religious authors in France were questioning women’s efforts to read, a new literary genre emerged: conduct books written specifically for girls and unmarried young women. In this carefully researched and thoughtfully argued book, Professor Nadine Bérenguier shares an in-depth analysis of this development, relating the objectives and ideals of these books to the contemporaneous Enlightenment concerns about improving education in order to reform society. Works by Anne-Thérèse de Lambert, Madeleine de Puisieux, Jeanne Marie Leprince de Beaumont, Louise d'Epinay, Barthélémy Graillard de Graville, Chevalier de Cerfvol, abbé Joseph Reyre, Pierre-Louis Roederer, and Marie-Antoinette Lenoir take up a wide variety of topics and vary dramatically in tone. But they all share similar objectives: acquainting their young female readers with the moral and social rules of the world and ensuring their success at the next stage of their lives. While the authors regarded their texts as furthering the common good, they were also aware that they were likely to be controversial among those responsible for girls' education. Bérenguier's sensitive readings highlight these tensions, as she offers readers a rare view of how conduct books were conceived, consumed, re-edited, memorialized, and sometimes forgotten. In the broadest sense, her study contributes to our understanding of how print culture in eighteenth-century France gave shape to a specific social subset of new readers: modern girls.

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.

Download or read book Minerva's French Sisters written by Nina Rattner Gelbart and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating collective biography of six female scientists in eighteenth-century France, whose stories were largely written out of history "Of the 72 scientific names engraved on the Eiffel Tower, none is female. Omissions include the six Enlightenment women dubbed 'Minerva's sisters' by historian Nina Gelbart in her pioneering, evocative rescue."--Nature This book presents the stories of six intrepid Frenchwomen of science in the Enlightenment whose accomplishments--though celebrated in their lifetimes--have been generally omitted from subsequent studies of their period: mathematician and philosopher Elisabeth Ferrand, astronomer Nicole Reine Lepaute, field naturalist Jeanne Barret, garden botanist and illustrator Madeleine Françoise Basseporte, anatomist and inventor Marie-Marguerite Biheron, and chemist Geneviève d'Arconville. By adjusting our lens, we can find them. In a society where science was not yet an established profession for men, much less women, these six audacious and inspiring figures made their mark on their respective fields of science and on Enlightenment society, as they defied gender expectations and conventional norms. Their boldness and contributions to science were appreciated by such luminaries as Franklin, the philosophes, and many European monarchs. The book is written in an unorthodox style to match the women's breaking of boundaries.
