Una sfida antropologica. spa]. La cuestión del gender : claves para una antropología sexual /Aristide Fumagalli ; traducción, M.M. Leonetti -- Maliaño : Editorial Sal Terrae, 2016 -- 149 p. ; 21 cm. -- (Presencia Teológica ; 238). La diferencia entre el varón y la mujer, considerada como un dato esencial e imprescindible de la naturaleza humana, es hoy objeto de contestación por la más reciente cultura sexual, que reivindica el derecho a definir de otro modo el género sexual y tiende a disolver la diferencia sexual masculina y femenina.Con la finalidad de ofrecer los elementos interpretativos esenciales y los criterios de valoración para orientarse en el debate sobre la así llamada "cuestión del gender", el presente texto expone, en primer lugar, el reciente desarrollo de las teorías de género y su incidencia en el plano político- jurídico. Considerando después la posición de la Iglesia católica, este estudio realiza una distinción entre ideología del gender y perspectiva de género, señalando los límites de la primera y los valores de la segunda. Por último, sugiere algunas perspectivas antropológicas y coordenadas bíblicas esenciales.La actual cuestión del gender constituye un desafío antropológico que demanda una nueva cultura de las relaciones entre el hombre y la mujer, que sea capaz de impedir el abuso del uno sobre la otra y que permita valorar su identidad diferente con vistas a su amor mutuo."La oportunidad que me brinda la presente edición en lengua española me ha permitido integrar el texto italiano con una segunda parte que, recogiendo el desafío planteado por la cuestión del gender, reflexiona sobre la relación y sobre la identidad del varón y de la mujer. Con este fin, me he ocupado del tema del encuentro entre hombre y mujer, para extraer las principales dimensiones de una adecuada antropología sexual: interpersonal, corpórea, cultural, temporal y trascendente" (Aristide Fumagalli). 7 7650 MORATIEL, Virginia Madres : los clanes matriarcales en la sociedad global /Virginia Moratiel -- 1ª ed. -- Madrid : Xorki, 2016 -- 117 p. ; 24 cm -- (Humanidades ; 14. Ensayo). Incluye referencias bibliográficas. El avance de la mujer en todos los campos de la sociedad transformó las estructuras familiares, dando lugar a distintos roles genéricos de evolución apenas previsible. Ante semejante situación de desconcierto, este libro analiza críticamente algunos modelos matriarcales vigentes, señalando sus virtudes y sus vicios. El recorrido se inicia con los mosuo, un pueblo de China, que supo retener lapureza del ideal gracias a su aislamiento y conseguir un alto grado de satisfacción entre sus integrantes. La siguiente escala es en México, donde habitan los zapotecas, un grupo indígena de gran importancia histórico-cultural en la formación de la identidad nacional, que, debido a una fuerte red de interacción colectiva y una lengua común en pleno vigor, logró mantener las tradicionesprehispánicas que concedían preponderancia económica y social a la mujer, mezclándolas con hábitos patriarcales, algunos de ellos atávicos. El destino final se encuentra en España y, por extensión, en la sociedad del capitalismo global, para considerar un fenómeno cada vez más frecuente y apenas estudiado: los clanes comandados por una matriarca despótica que utiliza a su conveniencia criterios patriarcales y matriarcales, según se trate de las relaciones exteriores o internas de la familia. Como resultado, promueve el machismo y la misoginia, mien... 8 7651 COMBALIA DEXEUS, Victòria Musas, mecenas y amantes : mujeres en torno al surrealismo /Victoria Combalía. -- Barcelona : Elba, D.L. 2016. -- 167 p. : il. ; 20 cm. Bibliografía: p. 165-167. ¿Qué tienen en común estas seis mujeres, aparte de haber vivido en un mundo y una época extraordinarios? ¿Qué hay detrás de la imagen sofi sticada de Nancy Cunard, del gesto alocado y provocador de Kiki de Montparnasse o de la mirada penetrante de Joyce Mansour? Se las conoce más como acompañantes de los protagonistas masculinos de su tiempo –Man Ray, Max Ernst, Samuel Beckett, André Breton, T.S. Eliot o Jean Cocteau, entre otros– que por sus propias obras. Sin embargo, fueron mucho más que un nombre en un pie de foto o una cara hermosa que adornaba las fiestas y los salones literarios. Alentaron y promocionaron a escritores aún desconocidos, impulsaron la obra de artistas emergentes, algunas eran escritoras y pintoras por derecho propio y las que tenían fortuna la gastaron en financiar la obra de sus amantes, amigos y protegidos. Todas ellas fueron musas a la manera clásica, inspiradoras de artistas y escritores, pero fueron también las primeras musas de la modernidad debido a su papel activo y relevante en el movimiento surrealista, uno de los puntos de infl exión en la historia del arte del siglo xx. El relato de sus vidas, apasionadas y apasionantes, que aspiraban a ser obras de arte en sí mismas, nos transporta a un mundo insólito cuyo epicentro era la creación artística. - See more at: 9 7652 GASKIN, Ina May [Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. spa]. Guía del nacimiento / Ina May Gaskin ; traducción de Mª Luisa Rodríguez Tapia -- Madrid : Capitán Swing, 2016 -- 400 p. ; 22 cm. -- (Especiales). En la década de los setenta, un grupo de mujeres, encabezado por Ina May Gaskin, inició un movimiento para cambiar los métodos tradicionales de parto. Recorrieron el Tennessee rural en una caravana de autobuses para compartir sus conocimientos sobre el parto y la maternidad con otras mujeres, y comenzaron a asistir mutuamente sus partos sin necesidad de instituciones, hospitales o médicos. Desde entonces, Ina May ha presenciado más de un millar de nacimientos en su popular casa de partos, a Granja, pero son mucho más numerosos las matronas, familias, médicos y estudiantes a los que ha alumbrado con sus libros, publicaciones y conferencias a nivel mundial. Basándose en sus más de treinta años de experiencia, la autora expone los beneficios físicos y psicológicos del parto natural, instando a las mujeres a confiar en la sabiduría ancestral de sus cuerpos para desarrollar una experiencia plena y saludable. Sobre la base de un modelo de obstetricia centrado en la madre y su conexión mente-cuerpo, este libro nos ofrece las herramientas necesarias para poder dar a luz sin intervención tecnológica, centrándose en el poder natural de hacerlo con más facilidad, menos dolor y la mínima intervención médica. 10 7653 FERNÁNDEZ ALONSO, Rebeca Esperanza Rodríguez Cerdán : la voz rebelde de una maestra sufragista, republicana y miliciana de la cultura / Rebeca Fernández Alonso. -- [Sevilla] : Benilde, [2016?] -- 447 p. : il. bl. y n. ; 22 cm.

It was a New York Times bestseller, and the paper’s Book Review named it one of the Ten Best Books of 2015, while NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune and other outlets gave the book rave reviews. The book’s author, Lucia Berlin, earned comparisons to Raymond Carver, Grace Paley, Alice Munro, and Anton Chekhov. EVENING IN PARADISE is a careful selection from Berlin’s remaining stories—twenty-two gems that showcase the gritty glamour that made readers fall in love with her. From Texas to Chile, Mexico to New York City, Berlin finds beauty in the darkest places and darkness in the seemingly pristine.

With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday—uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and Laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upperclass from the perspective of a cleaning woman, alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City. The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real. They are hitchhikers, hard workers, bad Christians. They navigate a world of jockeys, doctors, and switchboard operators with the wit of Lorrie Moore and the grit of Raymond Carver. They laugh, they mourn, they drink. Berlin, a highly influential writer despite publishing little in her lifetime, conjures these women across California, Mexico, and beyond. Lovers of the short story will not want to miss this remarkable collection from a master of the form. Lucia Berlin was born in 1936. Her earliest work was published when she was twenty-four, in The Atlantic Monthly and in Saul Bellow and Keith Botsford's journal The Noble Savage.

  • Cavar Thesis Final 2020.Pdf
    Abstract: What, how, and who is transbutch? In this thesis, I examine memoirs and personal essays that define and defy boundaries between “butch" and “transmasculine" subjectivity –– and investigate my own queer experience in the process –– in order to counter the myth of an irreparable trans/ butch divide. Deemed by some to be “border wars,” conflicts between transness and butchness are emblematic of the contested (hi)stories on which the identities are founded: namely, white supremacy, colonialism, transmedicalism, and lesbian separatism/trans-exclusionary radical fem- inism. Ensuing identity-battles –– which have increased with increased access to biomedical transition –– rely on a teleological approach to identity, and, I argue, may only be ameliorated by prioritizing experiential multiplicity and political affinity over fixed, essential truth. Through en- gagement with a variety of personal narratives by authors such as S. Bear Bergman, Ivan Coyote, Rae Spoon, and blogger MainelyButch, I counter the understanding of identity as intrinsic and immutable, showing instead the dynamism of transbutch life, its stretchiness as a personal and community signifier, and its constant re-definition by its occupants. 2 Enacting Transbutch: Queer Narratives Beyond Essentialism BY: SARAH LYNN CAVAR Bachelor of Arts Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, MA 2020 3 Acknowledgements: How to start but with a story. I am about to send this final document to my advisor, Jacquelyne Luce, in anticipation of a thesis defense that is as I write this only days away. Without her sup- port and guidance at every stage –– all the way from a disorganized 120-page Google Doc of notes to the PDF you now read –– this thesis would not be possible.

    Border Crossings: Passing and Other[ed] Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/o Literatures Melanie A. Hernandez A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Sonnet Retman, Chair Michelle Habell-Pallán Habiba Ibrahim Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English Hernandez 2 ©Copyright 2013 Melanie A. Hernandez Hernandez 3 University of Washington Abstract Border Crossings: Passing and Other(ed) Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/o Literatures Melanie A. Hernandez Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sonnet Retman, Associate Professor Department of American Ethnic Studies This project begins with an analysis of racial passing narratives, and considers the ways that the genre provides a useful deconstructive tool to better understand essence-based productions of race and racial authenticity within Chicana/o assimilation narratives. Through their critical exploration of the performative aspects of race, passing novels expose the fissures within these essentialist logics and in so doing they lodge their protest against the conditions under which passing could occur. I explore the ways that writers and artists have strategically used genre, knowing that readers will approach the text with a set of expectations, only to complicate the narrative while still operating within its formal conventions. This project maps strategic manipulations of genre as the primary tool to produce racial identities or exploit preexisting notions of race and gender with the aim to Hernandez 4 resist marginalization. I focus on the political discursive practices within both genres that judge passing and assimilation at the level of the individual.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.
