Masculinities and Markets: Raced and Gendered Urban Politics in Milwaukee
ISBN: 9780820335117 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Studies of urban neoliberalism have been surprisingly inattentive to gender. Brenda Parker begins to remedy this by looking at the effect of new urbanism, "creative class," and welfare reform discourses on women in Milwaukee, a traditionally progressive city with a strong history of political organizing. Through a feminist partial political economy of place (FPEP) approach, Parker conducts an intersectional analysis of urban politics that simultaneously pays attention to a number of power relations. She argues that in the 1990s and 2000s, the city's business-friendly agenda--although... Studies of urban neoliberalism have been surprisingly inattentive to gender.

ISBN: 9780333925379 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century, hermaphrodites were discussed and depicted in a range of artistic, mythological, scientific and erotic contexts. Early Modern Hermaphrodites looks at some of those representations to explore the stories they tell about ambiguous sex and gender in early modern England. Gilbert examines the often contradictory ways in which hermaphrodites were represented as both spiritual ideals and sexual grotesques; as freaks, erotic objects and medical curiosities' and as literary metaphors and signs of social decay.

ISBN: 9780333987131 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Gendering the International, the contributors explore the different ways of analyzing gender in international studies beyond the state-centric perspective of International Relations (IR). They demonstrate that it is possible to think about 'the international' beyond the traditional framework of IR. They contend IR is a set of gendered practices, by critically examining ways in which gender discourses are deployed in the analyses of 'the international'. Furthermore, they reflect on the interactions between gender and globalizing forces in a post-colonial environment.

ISBN: 9780415106245 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The glamour of transvestite fashion is the epitome of 1990s style, but the significance of cross-dressing and sex-changing goes much deeper than the annals of fashion.

Giving precedence to the processual and emergent nature of much cross-dressing and sex-changing phenomena, the text traces the phased femaling career path of the male femaler from beginning...
