Footbinding and Women's Labor in Sichuan
ISBN: 9780415525923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Chinese women bound their daughters' feet, many consequences ensued, some beyond the imagination of the binders and the bound. The most obvious of these consequences was to impress upon a small child's body and mind that girls differed from boys, thus reproducing gender hierarchy. What is not obvious is why Chinese society should have evolved such a radical method of gender-marking. Gendering is not simply preparation for reproduction, rather its primary significance lies in preparing children for their places in the division of labor of a particular political economy. Drawing... When Chinese women bound their daughters' feet, many consequences ensued, some beyond the imagination of the binders and the bound. The most obviou... |

Looking for Chengdu
ISBN: 9780801486326 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For decades, anthropologist Hill Gates had waited for an opportunity to get to know the citizens of China as she had done in Taiwan face to face, over an extended period of time. At last in the late 1980s she set out on an excursion to Sichuan Province. That visit was the first of many she would make there on a remarkable double adventure: to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese women and to complete a difficult passage in her own life. Looking for Chengdu is her memoir of these trips. By turns analytic, witty, and bittersweet, Gates's observations on contemporary China are enlivened by a...

Bound Feet, Young Hands: Tracking the Demise of Footbinding in Village China
ISBN: 9780804799553 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Footbinding was common in China until the early twentieth century, when most Chinese were family farmers. Why did these families bind young girls' feet? And why did footbinding stop? In this groundbreaking work, Laurel Bossen and Hill Gates upend the popular view of footbinding as a status, or even sexual, symbol by showing that it was an undeniably effective way to get even very young girls to sit still and work with their hands. Interviews with 1,800 elderly women, many with bound feet, reveal the reality of girls' hand labor across the North China Plain, Northwest China, and...
