OPEN PLAY
Book SynopsisY si te dijeran que el deporte femenino, tal como lo conocemos, es una herramienta del patriarcado? Este libro es un manifiesto que se atreve a cuestionar las bases del deporte y a proponer una visión radicalmente nueva y liberadora.Open Play expone por qué el deporte no solo refleja las diferencias de género, sino que las crea y las refuerza. A través de datos y argumentos contundentes, derriba el mito de la supuesta "inferioridad" física femenina, demostrando que las diferencias en el rendimiento no son genéticas, sino el resultado de circunstancias y barreras patriarcales.Este libro es también una llamada a la acción. Revisa la historia del deporte, desde los Juegos Olímpicos hasta las prohibiciones de algunas federaciones, para mostrar cómo la participación de la mujer siempre ha sido vigilada y controlada. Aborda temas tan relevantes como la exclusión de personas no binarias y trans, la vigilancia del cuerpo femenino y la instrumentalización de la ropa deportiva como herramienta de control.Pero Open Play va más allá de la crítica. Propone el Deporte Feminista. Un deporte inclusivo, sin segregación por género, que rompe con las viejas normas y redefine los valores de la competición, priorizando la colaboración, el cuidado y el desarrollo personal sobre la victoria a toda costa.Un libro riguroso y convincente, pero a la vez accesible, que demuestra cómo la lucha por la igualdad en el deporte es, en realidad, una lucha por la liberación de todas las personas.Porque el feminismo, como dice bell hooks, es para todo el mundo. Y el deporte, más que nunca, es un asunto feminista.

Oxford University Press Feminisms
Book Synopsis`A feminist is a woman who does not allow anyone to think in her place.'' Michele Le DoeuffSpanning nearly two decades (1980-1996), the six sections of this reader investigate the debates which have most characterized feminist theory to date.Including articles such as `Pornography and Fantasy'', `The Body and Cinema'', `Nature as Female'', and `A Manifesto for Cyborgs'', the extracts in Feminisms explore thoughts on sexuality as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development. With writing by bell hooks, Alice Jardine, and Andrea Dworkin, this multi-cultural Oxford Reader reflects the dynamic nature of feminist debates and the genuine diversity within current feminist theory.Trade Reviewa very impressive collection ... a remarkably thorough cross-section of texts ... essays that are readable and exciting ... The section on Technologies is especially original, provocative, and forward looking. * Elaine Showalter, Princeton University *rich and comprehensive collection of diverse and challenging essays * Lynne Segal, Middlesex University *a comprehensive, ambitious and brilliantly thought-out collection ... This reader is the ideal companion for anyone who is engaged in research or reflection on contemporary feminism * Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht University *a wonderfully diverse sampling of the richness that is feminisms ... a valuable text for classes and an equally valuable reference tool * Jean F.

Paced with substantive (and in some cases highly original) introductions throughout ... while it might be less than academic to label Feminisms "a great read", it is. * Linda Wagner-Martin, University of North Carolina *Innovative, inclusive, interesting. * Shulamit Reinharz, Brandeis University *an anthology which will no doubt influence scholarship for years to come * Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Columbia University *Table of Contents[XEROX LISTING EXTRACTS INCLUDED ALSO AVAILABLE]

Oxford University Press, USA The Faces of the Goddess
Book SynopsisMany contemporary feminists believe that early humans worshipped a nurturing Mother Goddess, who was subsequently displaced by autocratic male deities. In this book Motz examines the maternal deities of various cultures and religions and finds no signs of a common origin, and thus no evidence for a primordial "Great Mother." Her conclusions stand in stark contradiction to the prevailing view.Trade Review"At last: a book that explains that the notion of a unitary Mother Goddess is modern, and that female culture was not driven out by patriarchy. But even more important is the positive contribution that this book makes to the understanding of the nature of ancient female divinities, which were more diverse and potent than modern writers have imagined them to be. Instead of being restricted to motherhood, the various goddesses worshipped in the ancient world displayed the full range of feminine powers, both constructive and destructive, and commanded the respect of both men and women."--Mary Lefkowitz, Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, Wellesley College. "I have no doubt that this volume will become an important landmark in the comparative study of religion."--James Preston, Anthropology and Religious Studies, SUNY Oneonta "In The Faces of the Goddess Lotte Motz at last rescues a number of goddesses from the murky Jungian limbo to which many previous studies have consigned them, a place in which all goddesses look alike in the dark; in so doing she restores to each of them the dignity of their individual power and fascination, and provides both a sound scholarly basis for our understanding of them and a wide gamut of far more visible, because more nuanced, models for contemporary women to emulate."--Wendy Doniger "Dr. Motz has offered us here a well-documented, nicely written and presented, duly diversified image of the multifaceted archetype of the Mother-Goddess."--Edgar C. Polome, University of Texas as Austin "Lotte Motz combines a superb knowledge of mythology with the gift for making age-old problems look fresh. She loves polemic, but it is the quest for the most convincing solution, rather than controversy for controversy's sake, that inspires her work."--Anatoly Liberman, University of Minnesota "I consider the book an usually important contribution, one that should be read and pondered by anyone interested in the study of religion, and one that should have a lasting effect on the field."--Thorkild Jacobsen, former Director of the Oriental Institute, Chicago, and author of The Treasures of Darkness "Faces of the Goddess offers a necessary antidote against romantic or Jungian Mother mysticism."--Walter Burkert, Professor of Classics, the University of Zurich, and author of Greek Religion "A useful warning about trendy spirituality."--Alan Cochrum, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Clarendon Press Prudent Revolutionaries
Book SynopsisThis is the first major study of the personalities, achievements, and tactics of British feminist leaders between the wars. It brings out the breadth and scale of their activities, and explains their contribution towards broadening women''s political, occupational, and family roles at home and abroad. Dr Harrison clarifies the organizational context and ancestry of inter-war feminism through creating a portrait gallery of sixteen prominent but very different feminists. Some (Lady Astor and Ellen Wilkinson, for example) are well-known, but are approached from a new angle; others, equally significant and interesting, are now almost forgotten. Overall, the book provides a composite portrait of the reforming personality, and illuminates the tactical and strategic dilemmas that face the reformer who aims to transform a hostile climate by working through democratic institutions.Drawing on interviews as well as a wide range of manuscript and other sources, Prudent Revolutionaries throws new lTrade Review'Brian Harrison has produced an enjoyable and instructive book. It is academic history at its best.' Independent'Harrison's elegantly written book provides a rich and challenging source of new biographical material' Times Literary Supplement'Harrison's conclusion is often stimulating and offers some searching questions ... on the nature of women's political involvement. ... this is a scholarly, liberal-minded but deeply traditional work' Dorothy Zaborszky, Laurentian University. RFR/DRF'this book is exemplary in its use of oral sources: Harrison has spent an enormous amount of time patiently collecting useful information from his subjects, or those who knew them; but he never overrates the significance of this material, and always integrates it closely with all the other available source materials" Arthur Marwick, The Open University, The English Historical Review, January 1991

Oxford University Press, USA Feminism the Family and the Politics of the Closet
Book SynopsisFeminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet is about placing sexual orientation politics within feminist theorizing. It is also about defining the central political issues confronting lesbians and gay men. The book brings the study of lesbians from the margins of feminist theory to the center by critiquing the analytic frameworks employed within feminist theory that renders invisible lesbians'' difference from heterosexual women. This book also outlines the basic features of lesbian and gay subordination by exploring the differences between heterosexual dominance and gender and race relations. Throughout, Calhoun aims to re-center lesbian and gay politics away from concerns with sexual regulations and toward concern with the displacement of gays and lesbians from the public sphere of visible citizenship and from the private sphere of romance, marriage, and family.Trade ReviewAre romantic love and sexual attraction the essence of lesbianism? Is legal recognition for same-sex marriage and parenting essential to justice for lesbians and gay men? Cheshire Calhoun answers YES to both questions, and she defends both conclusions subtly and rigorously. Feminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet has ignited productive controversy. This, I think, is the highest praise anyone can give a work of social theory. * Professor Diana T Meyers, University of Connecticut *This book offers new insights into such major philosophical issues as the relationship of lesbian to feminist theory and such major practical ones as the case for same-sex marriage. An excellent text for LGBT studies, Women's Studies, and Contemporary Moral Issues courses. Equally accessible to LGBT activists and other interested ethical or political theorists. Beautifully written, scrupulously argued, certain to become a classic! * Professor Claudia Card, University of Wisconsin *In this book, Cheshire Calhoun, one of the pre-eminent ethical theorists of our day, turns her careful, creative and analytical mind to a set of questions concerning lesbian and gay rights. Calhoun boldly challenges several central and widely-accepted theoretical and practical claims, most significantly, the applicability of feminist theory to theorizing lesbians and gay men and their social and legal positions and struggles. * Professor Edward Stein, Cardozo School of Law *Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Postfeminism and Body Image
Book SynopsisPostfeminism and Body Image is a groundbreaking work that provides a poststructuralist and psychosocial analysis of key issues at the intersections of body image, psychology and media. The book outlines the theoretical framework through the work of renowned philosophers, Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, and their use in feminist scholarship, to address body-image issues and challenges in the context of a postfeminist sensibility. The authors rethink body image, calling into question assumptions and obligations that affect recent issues related to social-media use, body positivity, the transformation imperative, body shaming and muscular masculinity. The analysis shows the advantage of seeing body image as a form of non-linear warfare, structured by contradiction, confusion and critique, where attempts to challenge oppressive body image practices are appropriated under the guise of positive alternatives to maintain that oppression. Through real-world examples, thesTrade Review"A 'must have' exposition of the discourses and flows of affect organising embodied experience. Sarah Riley, Adrienne Evans and Martine Robson's pathsetting new book is rich in nuanced theory and in examples which are then carefully deconstructed to reveal the canonical, contradictory and often unliveable figurations of the body characteristic of postfeminist times. Essential reading for all feminist scholars and inspirational for researchers investigating body and body image." - Margaret Wetherell Emertia, Professor, Open University, UK and The University of Auckland, New Zealand"Finally, we have a body image and media studies text that engages broadly and deeply with the shape-shifting cultural and psychological currents that mark this tumultuous moment in the Anglo-western world. Post-feminism and Body Image weaves new theories and methods by tracing, untangling and making sense of the ever knotty, contradictory bundle of forces that help to make us, collectively and individually: between feminist and post-feminist discourses and sensibilities that offer up radically different visions of "the good life"; between media studies perspectives that seek to analyse these larger cultural patterns and their neoliberal rootings, and psychological ones that probe the meanings and workings of our resulting selves; and between the massive cultural, economic and political shifts that we’ve witnessed over the past thirty years and our sexualities, gendered beings and doings, and health making practices—indeed, our most intimate relations with our bodily selves. In advancing theoretically rich and lucid readings of feminized and masculinized everyday body practices, Riley and Evans have crafted a paradigm-shifting tome." - Carla Rice, Canada Research Chair, Feminist Studies and Social Practice, and Professor, University of Guelph, Canada "Nuanced, theoretically sophisticated, accessible, and engaging, Postfeminism and Body Image provides a very timely exploration of contemporary body image issues. The authors take a critical transdisciplinary approach, drawing on cultural studies, sociology, economics, politics, geography; gender studies, psychology and media studies to interrogate the ways in which bodies and body image are understood, experienced, and regulated in the context of post-feminism. This book significantly advances our understandings of both postfeminism and body image and is a must-have for new and experienced researchers alike." - Helen Malson, Associate Professor, Social Psychology, University West of England, UK"This is a marvellous and important contribution to key debates in feminist cultural and media studies. It extends the research arc of 'postfeminism' so that there is a wider and more international focus, while at the same time providing more detailed analysis of specific iterations in consumer culture. This work also offers further theoretical refinement in the field, as well as illuminating our understanding of the stubborn persistence of 'body image' across gender and popular culture." - Angela McRobbie, FBA, Visiting Professor, Centre for Post-Digital Cultures, Institute for Creative Cultures, Coventry University, UK'A "must have" exposition of the discourses and flows of affect organising embodied experience.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shakespeare on Consent
Book SynopsisChoice is the defining issue of the twenty-first century. As the #MeToo movement extends its legal, social, and political reach around the world, the topic of consent has come under particular scrutiny. Shakespeare on Consent examines crises of consent on the early modern stage and argues that these dramatizations provide a framework for understanding the intersections of coercion, complicity, resistance, and agency. Beginning with the premise that consent serves as a lever of entitlement, Amanda Bailey introduces a Shakespeare well aware that liberal selfhood has never been universally available. Bailey brings Shakespeare's work into conversation with the Penn State Sandusky scandal, the Bill ClintonMonica Lewinsky affair, the rise of somnophilia, Jordan Peele's documentary on Lorena Bobbitt, Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Harvey Weinstein's Shakespeare in Love, amongst others. Bailey considers who is denied access to the apparatus of consent, uTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsPrefaceINTRODUCTION: Equity Without JusticeCH 1: Rape of a NationCH 2: Stamped by ShameCH 3: While You Were Sleeping CH 4: I May Destroy YouCH 5: Make Sex Great Again CH 6: Weinstein in LoveCODA: Refusal is the First Right Index
