Glenn. La relevancia que tiene actualmente en nuestras sociedades el avance de la igualdad de género justifica la necesidad de indagar en los procesos históricos y culturales que dan cuenta de cómo ha transcurrido el avance de las mujeres en su camino hacia la emancipación. Los ensayos publicados en este volumen muestran la relevancia de la recreación literaria de los roles de género en la configuración de la sociedad española a lo largo del siglo XX. Los cambios y permanencias en la definición de la identidad femenina son objeto de reflexión por parte de reconocidos especialistas en el ámbito de los Estudios de Género y el Hispanismo internacional. Se abordan en ellos cuestiones fundamentales como el acceso de las mujeres a nuevas profesiones, las relaciones de pareja, la particular vivencia de la soledad, la maternidad y la sexualidad de las españolas contemporáneas, la recreación artística de modelos femeninos, el testimonio autobiográfico de las escritoras y su inserción en la sociedad literaria en diferentes períodos, así como los cruces e inversiones en la definición de los géneros que algunos autores y textos reflejan. Se hace patente en estos ensayos las manifestaciones múltiples de la desigual situación social de mujeres y hombres en España a lo largo del pasado siglo, mientras que se plantea paralelamente la necesidad de seguir promoviendo el cambio hacia la igualdad efectiva a través de la creación cultural

    "How does physical, emotional, and sexual abuse shape women's perceptions of their bodies and identities? How are women's psyches affected by the sexual, racial, and cultural denigration that occurs when women's bodies are represented as defective, spoiled, damaged, or dirtied? Embodied Shame skillfully explores these questions in the context of recent writings by North American women, contributing to work in shame theory and to feminist analyses of the intersections of theories of the body, affect, emotions, narrative, and trauma. By examining popular contemporary fictional - and nonfictional - texts, including Alice Munro's Lives of Girls and Women, Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory, and Lucy Grealy's Autobiography of a Face, J. Brooks Bouson illuminates how deeply entrenched bodily shame continues to operate in contemporary culture, even as we celebrate the supposed freeing of the female body from the social and cultural constraints that have long bound it."--BOOK JACKET.

    Verlagsinfo: Dichtung und Wahrheit, Leben und Werk - dem Geständnis des alten Goethe, in seinen Texten sei mehr Leben niedergelegt, als man ihnen gewöhnlich ansehe, geht Christa Bürger in "Goethes Eros" nach. Sie folgt dem wunderbaren Geflecht von literarischen und realen Figuren, die sich ineinander spiegeln. Es wird sichtbar, was dieses Leben und dieses Werk antreibt: "Goethes Eros". Christa Bürgers spannende und engagierte Untersuchung zeigt einen Klassiker, der sich von lebenden Personen inspirieren ließ, um seine literarischen Figuren Leben und Liebe einzuhauchen: So bedingen sich die Schwester Cornelia und die weiße Dame, Friederike zeigt sich als Gretchen oder Käthchen, Helena hat Züge von Schwiegertochter Ottilie. Christa Bürger, geboren 1935, war von 1973 bis 1998 Professorin am Institut für deutsche Sprache und Literatur an der Universität Frankfurt.

    "Lesel Dawson analyzes literary representations of lovesickness in relation to medical ideas about desire and wider questions about gender and identity, exploring the different ways that desire is believed to take root in the body, how gender roles are encoded and contested in courtship, and the psychic pains and pleasures of frustrated passion. She explores the relationship between women's lovesickness and other female maladies (such as hysteria and green sickness), and asks whether women can suffer from intellectual forms of melancholy generally thought to be exclusively male. Finally, she examines the ways in which Neoplatonism offers an alternative construction of love to that found in natural philosophy and considers how anxieties concerning love's ability to emasculate the male lover emerge indirectly in remedies for lovesickness."--BOOK JACKET.

    "The Shapes of Silence examines fiction, memoir, and autobiographical writing by marginalized women whose stories give voice to the gendered dimensions of colonial violence. Drawing from the insights of subaltern studies and postcolonial feminisms, Proma Tagore brings together the work of a diverse group of writers - Toni Morrison, Shani Mootoo, Louise Erdrich, M.K. Indira, Rashsundari Debi, and Mahasweta Devi. She focuses on the visceral, affective nature of their narratives and explores the way that personal and historical trauma, initially silenced, may be recorded across generations, as well as across complex national, racial, gender, and sexual lines. In emphasizing situations that cannot be summed up by clearly nameable, bounded moments of trauma, The Shapes of Silence identifies important shifts in how testimonial literature is theorized, arguing for an understanding of writing and storytelling by women of colour as crucial counter-narratives to what official colonial historicizing has left out."--Publisher's description

    "How does physical, emotional, and sexual abuse shape women's perceptions of their bodies and identities? How are women's psyches affected by the sexual, racial, and cultural denigration that occurs when women's bodies are represented as defective, spoiled, damaged, or dirtied? Embodied Shame skillfully explores these questions in the context of recent writings by North American women, contributing to work in shame theory and to feminist analyses of the intersections of theories of the body, affect, emotions, narrative, and trauma. By examining popular contemporary fictional - and nonfictional - texts, including Alice Munro's Lives of Girls and Women, Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory, and Lucy Grealy's Autobiography of a Face, J. Brooks Bouson illuminates how deeply entrenched bodily shame continues to operate in contemporary culture, even as we celebrate the supposed freeing of the female body from the social and cultural constraints that have long bound it."--BOOK JACKET.
