Taylor & Francis Ltd The Gendered Unconscious Can Gender Discourses
Book SynopsisFeminist interventions in psychoanalysis have often attempted either to subvert or re-frame the masculinist and phallocentric biases of Freud''s psychoanalysis. This book investigates the nature of these interventions by comparing the status and treatment of women in two different psychoanalytic models: the Kleinian and the feminist models. It argues that, in fact, these interventions have historically tended to reinforce such biases by collapsing the distinction between the gendered minds of individuals and theories of gender.This investigation is framed by two steps. First, in assessing the position of women and the feminine in psychoanalysis, The Gendered Unconscious explores not only the ways they are represented in theory, but also how these representations function in practice. Secondly, this book uses a framework of a comparative dialogue to highlight the assumptions and values that underpin the theory and clinical practice in the two psychoanalytic models. ThTrade Review"The Gendered Unconscious offers a riveting account of how subsequent generations of feminists produced waves of theorizing with the aim of recovering a more complex female subjectivity than the models offered by the heirs of Freudian ego psychology." - Janice Kay Haaken, in Psychology of Women Quarterly "Gyler's text is dense in its succinct coverage of a number of pertinent psychoanalytic and clinical issues relevant to feminist scholars and clinicians. As such, it is suitable both for readers who are experienced in the field but also for those less familiar with the subject area. Her capacity to critically and intelligently discuss and question contemporary feminist psychoanalysis suggests the book could become pivotal in contributing to and moving on these debates." - Colleen Heenan, University of Bolton, UK, in Feminism & Psychology "Gyler has given us an erudite, detailed, historical compendium of psychoanalytic thought that encompasses Freud, Klein, and contemporary feminist psychoanalysts." - Ruth S. Fischer, in Psychoanalytic Quarterly"Louise Gyler provides an excellently well-researched, intelligently written, critical up-date on feminism and psychoanalysis. She systematically exposes the role of gender in the theories and clinical practice of influential psychoanalysts and explicates the gendered perspectives on psychoanalysis developed by leading feminist theorists." - Janet Sayers, Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychology, University of Kent, UK"Louise Gyler provides an excellently well-researched, intelligently written, critical up-date on feminism and psychoanalysis.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Feminist Economics
Book SynopsisEdited by a leading scholar in the field, this is a new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Economics. It is a four-volume collection of historical and contemporary work in the flourishing field of feminist economics, an innovative and dynamic area of scholarship that broadens the scope of economic inquiry and allows a richer and more complex view of the ways in which economies function. The first two volumes of the collection consist of work done before the founding of the International Association for Feminist Economics in 1991 and are organized historically. The final two volumes consist of cutting-edge contemporary work in feminist economics and are organized thematically.This new Routledge title, edited by two leading scholars, is a four-volume collection of canonical and the very best cutting-edge work in feminist economics, an innovative and dynamic area of scholarship that has broadened the scope of economic inquiry and has allowed a richer and more complex understanding of the ways in which economies function.Volume I (âEarly Conversations, 1800â1960â) gathers foundational work produced before the professionalization and specialization of the social sciences by writers who were variously categorized as journalists, reformers, andâoccasionallyâas economists. Their writing provides important historical background on subjects such as household production, womenâs participations in paid labour, and gender equality, subjects that remain central to feminist economics today.Volume II (âHouseholds, Labour, and Paid Workâ) brings together the best work by professional economists examining various aspects of womenâs labour both within and outside the domestic sphere. Topics include reproductive labour, caring labour, womenâs labour force participation, the gender wage gap, occupational segregation, and the economics of the family.Volume III (âEngendering Development and Economic Well-Beingâ) assembles work with a specifically international or global perspective. Among the topics covered are: women and development; the gendered effects of structural adjustment; property rights; economic transformation; and measures of economic well-being.The final volume in the collection (âEpistemological and Methodological Considerationsâ) focuses on a feminist rethinking of economics. Volume IV collects the best scholarship on methodology, the history of economics, and postmodern and postcolonial critiques of both feminist and conventional economics.Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction to each volume newly written by the editors, and an invited introduction to the final volume written by Gillian Hewitson, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Feminist Economics is an essential reference work. It is destined to be valued by scholars and students of economicsâas well as those working in allied disciplines such as womenâs and gender studiesâas a vital research resource.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hard Knocks Domestic Violence and the Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book draws on interviews carried out over a period of eight years, as well as novels, films, and domestic violence literature, to explain the role of storytelling in the history of the battered women's movement.Trade Review“The mid-20th century feminist movement was the catalyst for the most recent domestic violence reform efforts in the United States. In the forty years since then feminist advocates have shaped perceptions, policies, and laws. This book tells and analyzes their stories. While Haaken relies on a broad range of sources she structures the book primarily around conversations with domestic violence advocates in the United States and overseas to show how broader historical and cultural forces shape activists’ perceptions of domestic violence reform. The reader is treated to a wide-ranging and stimulating treatise on what would otherwise be yet another re-telling of policy changes and the successes and failures linked to their implementation. Using a multi-layered conceptual framework that enlists the social psychology of story telling, psychoanalysis, and several feminist perspectives, Haaken’s book lays bare themes of unity and strife in three distinct stories told by advocates – stories of captivity, stories of deliverance, and stories of struggle and reparation. … Hard Knocks: Domestic Violence and the Psychology of Storytelling is an enlightened and forward looking assessment of domestic violence reform. Students, practitioners, and social scientists with some familiarity of the topic will value the author’s insightful and timely analysis.” - Annette Jolin, Professor Emerita, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Portland State University, USA, in Criminal Justice Review"Haaken’s material is rich and unusual, and her analyses of how group dynamics in the battered women’s movement are intertwined with diverse story-telling practices are fascinating. The international comparisons raise further food for thought. ... The book would be a useful resource for teaching students about the historical context of activism against domestic violence, and in particular for illustrating how particular forms of story-telling become possible within specific historical contexts and how story-telling about the ‘same issue’ (domestic violence) may therefore differ between different countries and over time." - Renate Klein in Sex Roles"The book is a rich and authoritative resource about both the history and current status of the feminist antiviolence movement. It will be a good text book in women’s studies programs." - Paul T.P. Wong in PsycCRITIQUES"Haaken’s penetrating historical critique of the domestic violence movement comes as a welcome breath of fresh air – opening up new avenues for reinvigorated feminist analysis and activism. ... [Haaken’s] analytical ability to hold complexity within one analytical frame provides feminist psychologists with an exemplary case study of the types of dialectical thought and action that need to be promoted. This book serves as a much-needed roadmap of the contours of new and more transformative approaches to domestic violence." - Catherine Campbell, London School of Economics, in The Community Psychologist"In an accessible, direct and compelling manner, this impressively scholarly text surveys the full array of recent debates tackling the complexities of gender and violence. Janice Haaken’s voice has become pivotal in the rethinking of domestic violence literature and research, ensuring that this book will become an essential text across the social sciences in all areas where gender is discussed." - Lynne Segal, Psychosocial Studies, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK "This book is pioneering and courageous, employing psychoanalytic concepts to subvert those aspects of (white) feminist activist orthodoxy on domestic violence. The power of storytelling in shaping and transforming women’s lives is evoked with reparative narratives which are explored to exhilarating effect." - Paula Nicolson, Professor of Critical Social Health Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK"Janice Haaken—feminist researcher, clinician, and activist—grips us with her analysis of the stories we tell ourselves about family violence. Whether probing the complexities of victim narratives or examining the different ways feminists and activists narrate domestic violence, Haaken is a pioneer in extending psychoanalytic-feminist theory into the tough terrain of anti-violence politics. Essential reading for activists and gender studies theorists alike." - Lynne Layton, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School, USA Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender Inequality in Our Changing World
Book SynopsisGender Inequality in Our Changing World: A Comparative Approach focuses on the contemporary United States but places it in historical and global context. Written for sociology of gender courses, this textbook identifies conditions that encourage greater or lesser gender inequality, explains how gender and gender inequality change over time, and explores how gender intersects with other hierarchies, especially those related to race, social class, and sexual identity. The authors integrate historical and international materials as they help students think both theoretically and empirically about the causes and consequences of gender inequality, both in their own lives and in the lives of others worldwide.Trade ReviewKenschaft and Clark’s Gender Inequality in Our Changing World is a treasure trove for teachers. The book has theory and empirical data woven through each chapter and addresses the gender issues of our time from a clearly outlined and integrated comparative, historical and global perspective. The framework promotes higher-level thinking and the thorough examination of key subjects and concepts in the sociology of gender. Each chapter features a section of suggested activities and pedagogical resources that can serve as any teacher’s best allies in the process of creating a collaborative, interactive, reflective and intellectually challenging classroom.-Ana S.Q. Liberato, Sociology, University of KentuckyThis book’s contribution to undergraduate education in gender inequality is that the authors provide a strong historical perspective on the area of gender inequality they discuss in each chapter. Traditional college students do not have a depth of historical knowledge, especially about gender inequality and the author’s inclusion of history makes the problem of gender inequality more understandable.-Nancy Sonleitner, Sociology, The University of Tennessee at MartinTable of Contents1.

Basic Books They Didnt See Us Coming The Hidden History of
Book SynopsisOn January 21, 2017, massive demonstrations in Washington DC and sister marches held in over 600 American cities drew crowds of over four million people. Popularly called ''The Women''s March,'' it became the largest single-day protest in American history. The feminism that shaped the consciousness of millions in 2017 had distinct roots in the 1990s. In They Didn''t See Us Coming, historian Lisa Levenstein argues we have missed much of the past quarter century of the women''s movement because the conventional wisdom is that the ''90s was the moment when the movement splintered into competing factions. But by showcasing voices and stories long overlooked by popular culture and scholars, They Didn''t See Us Coming shows that this decade was actually a time of intense and international coalition building. This activism centered around the growing influence of women of color, women with disabilities, women from the global South, and people of ranging gender expressions and ident
