  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

Before we get started, I'd like to mention that this is our last planned event for the fall. However, we do have many, many events planned for the spring. So if you haven't already, please take time to sign up to get our event notices. Today's talk on digital feminism in the Arab Gulf states is co-sponsored by the MIT Women's and Gender Studies program, the MIT History department, and the MIT Press bookstore. In typical fashion, our talk will conclude with Q&A with the audience. And for those asking questions, please line up behind the microphones. We ask that you to be considerate of time and others who want to ask questions. And please also identify yourself and your affiliation before asking your question. Our featured speaker is Mona Eltahawy, an award winning columnist and international public speaker on Arab and Muslim issues and global feminism. She is based in Cairo and New York City. Her commentaries have appeared in multiple publications and she is a regular guest analyst on television and radio shows. During the Egypt Revolution in 2011, she appeared on most major media outlets, leading the feminist website Jezebel to describe her as the woman explaining Egypt to the West. In November 2011, Egyptian riot police beat her, breaking her left arm and right hand, and sexually assaulted her, and she was detained for 12 hours by the Interior Ministry and Military Intelligence.

  • From Men of Color: New Foundations for Developing Models for Success Edited By: Ronald A
    From Men of Color: New Foundations for Developing Models for Success Edited by: Ronald A. Williams The following is an excerpt from the unedited manuscript. Chapter 4: Masculinity Victor Sáenz and Beth Bukoski The “male education crisis” narrative has grown louder among the mainstream media in recent years, and it has been embodied by the faces of White boys (see, for example, the January 30, 2006 Newsweek cover and the January 26, 2007 Chronicle of Higher Education cover and their accompanying articles about the boy “crisis” [Tyre, 2006; Wilson, 2007]). This recognition of the challenges young men confront as they navigate the educational pipeline is an example of how White, middle-class, heteronormative patriarchy has structured our understanding of the “problem” of boys. White boys represent the face of the crisis and have served to legitimize it within the mainstream, yet boys and men of color remain the specter in the shadows — an invisible threat silently lurking and representing the way patriarchy structures boys’ lives in detrimental ways. Within the Latino population, for example, the educational attainment gap between Latino males and their female peers has been widening since the 1970s. As of 2010, Latino males obtained 38.4 percent of all associate’s and bachelor’s degrees awarded to Latinos (U.S. © 2013 Stylus Publishing, LLC www.Stylusb.com Census Bureau, 2010), and this gap is only projected to increase (Sáenz & Ponjuan, 2011). Even as the number of Latinas/os attending college and attaining degrees has increased steadily over the last few decades, the proportional representation of Latino males continues to decline relative to their female peers (Sáenz & Ponjuan, 2009).

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC: IDEOLOGICAL TRAVELINGS OF AMERICAN AND FRENCH THOUGHT (1960-2010) Geneviève Pagé, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Claire Moses Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation examines the travelings of three concepts central to feminism – gender, queer, and intersectionality – as they move between the United States, France, and Quebec. The concept of gender, central to U.S. feminism, is relatively absent from feminist theory in France and Quebec until the 1990s; rather, drawing on Marxist and existentialist traditions, French and Quebec feminists will deploy the term “rapports sociaux de sexe” to identify that differences among women and men are grounded in social structure and, further, that the two classes, women and men, are constituted in hierarchicized relation. The term queer, linguistically subversive in English but lacking this potential when translated into French, is mainly resisted by French materialist feminists and feminist scholars in Quebec on the basis that it displaces social reality focusing instead on resistance through performance. Nonetheless, in Quebec, activists groups such as Les panthères rose are able to present a version of queer that also addresses systemic oppressions. Finally, the concept of intersectionality, theorized first by feminists of color in the U.S. trying to reconcile their allegiances to multiple struggles, provides a useful tool for analyzing the interaction between different systems of oppression and how they shape the lives of people differently located. In France, a similar desire to theorize multiple oppressions led to the development of the concept of “consubstantialité des rapports sociaux,” whereby social “rapports” of sex and of socio- economic class are co-constituted.

  • Masculinity and Gender in a Farewell to Arms A
    International Journal of Engineering and Techniques - Volume 5 Issue 1, Jan-Feb 2019 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS MASCULINITY AND GENDER IN A FAREWELL TO ARMS A. Ramya, Dr. R. Venkataraman 1Ph.D.Research Scholar, 2Professor and Head School of Languages VELS INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & ADVANCED STUDIES (VISTAS), Pallavaram, Chennai. India Abstract: The present paper critically analyses the gender and masculinity expression and interaction in Hemingway’s most popular novel, A Farewell to Arms. The researcher after going through many novels chosen the novel A Farewell to Arms as Hemingway wrote in detail about gender and masculinity and gender role in the novel. This is the first book of the author that made him popular in the society since it was based on the true story that replicates the World War I. This novel is otherwise termed as an antiwar novel. Considering the main aspect of the novel’s gender issues and stress of masculinity interaction induced the writing of this paper. Keywords: World War I, Love, Gender Interaction, Masculine Identity Introduction Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961)occupies an indelible place in the chronicles of American Literary history by virtue of his unique writing style and narration that presents a vivid picture of the scenarios explained in the novel by presenting a realistic depiction of the inter-war period, Hemingway has presented the quandary of the modern man in “a world which increasingly seeks to reduce him to a mechanism, a mere thing” (Brooks,Cleanth). Written in a simple but unconventional style, with the problems of war, violence and death as underlining themes, his novels present a figurative interpretation of life.

  • Escapism and the Ideological Stance in Naomi Novik's
    B R U M A L Revista de Investigación sobre lo Fantástico DOI: https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.606 Research Journal on the Fantastic Vol. VII, n.º 2 (otoño/autumn 2019), pp. 111-131, ISSN: 2014-7910 «I DIDN’T OFFER TO SHAKE HANDS; NO ONE WOULD SHAKE HANDS WITH A JEW»: ESCAPISM AND THE IDEOLOGICAL STANCE IN NAOMI NOVIK’S SPINNING SILVER SARA GONZÁLEZ BERNÁRDEZ Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Recibido: 12-06-2019 Aceptado: 11-09-2019 AbsTRACT Naomi Novik, an American writer of Lithuanian-Polish ascendency, is one of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary young-adult fantasy fiction. Her fantasies are heav- ily influenced by her cultural heritage, as well as by the fairy tale tradition, which be- comes most obvious in her two standalone novels, Uprooted and the subject of this es- say, Spinning Silver. As the quote chosen for this essay’s title demonstrates, Novik’s second standalone work constitutes one of the most obvious outward statements of an ideological stance as expressed within fantasy literature, as well as an example of what Jack Zipes (2006) called transfiguration: the rewriting and reworking of traditional tales in order to convey a different, more subversive message. This paper considers how Novik’s retelling takes advantage of traditional fairy-tale elements to create an implicit critique of gender-based oppression, while at the same time, and much more overtly, denouncing racial and religious prejudice. The ideological stance thus conveyed is shown to be intended to have consequences for the reader and the world outside of the fiction.

    May 29: Afghan women denied justice over violence, United Nations says “A law meant to protect Afghan women from violence is being undermined by authorities who routinely refer even serious criminal cases to traditional mediation councils that fail to protect victims, the United Nations said on Tuesday. The Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) law, passed in 2009, was a centerpiece of efforts to improve protection for Afghan women, who suffer widespread violence in one of the worst countries in the world to be born female.” (Reuters) May 31: Female Genital Mutilation is Declared Religiously Forbidden in Islam “Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa declared that female genital mutilation (FGM) is religiously forbidden on May 30, 2018, adding that banning FGM should be a religious duty due to its harmful effects on the body. Dar Al- Iftaa also explained that FGM is not mentioned in Islamic laws and that it only still occurs because it’s considered to be a social norm in the rural areas and some poor parts of Egypt. FGM is considered as an attack on religion through damaging the most sensitive organ in the female body. In Islam, protecting the body from any harm is a must and mutilation violates this rule.” (Egypt Today) June 4: Government proposes new draft law to ban early marriage “Egypt's government has proposed a new draft law that includes amendments to the child law article 12 of 1996, which states cases in which parents could be deprived from the authority of guardianship over the girl or her property…Hawary told Egypt Today that this bill stipulates that a father who forces his daughter to get married before reaching the age of marriage will be deprived from the authority of guardianship over the girl or her property.” (Egypt Today) June 4: Youth, women, and minorities have valid concerns “Iranian President Hassan Rouhani admitted on Friday that the youth, women and minorities have legitimate grievances, Anadolu Agency reported, citing the Iranian presidency’s official website.
