Male Femaling: A grounded theory approach to cross-dressing and sex-changing
ISBN: 9780415106252 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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

Gendering Orientalism: Race, Femininity and Representation
ISBN: 9780415124904 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The extent of women's involvement in the popular field of visual Orientalism is revealed and the presence of Orientalist themes in the work of Henriette Browne and George Eliot is...

Caring: Gender-Sensitive Ethics
ISBN: 9780415133838 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Caring, Peta Bowden extends and challenges recent debates on feminist ethics. She takes issue with accounts of the ethics of care that focus on alleged principles of caring rather than analysing caring in practice. Caring, Bowden argues, must be understood by 'working through examples'.
Following this approach, Bowden explores four main caring practices: mothering, friendship, nursing and citizenship. Her analysis of the differences and similarities in these practices - their varying degrees of intimacy and reciprocity, formality and informality, vulnerability and choice -...

Gender, Sexuality and Colonial Modernities
ISBN: 9780415200684 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume considers the ways in which modernity was constructed, in all its incompleteness, through colonialism. Using a variety of archival resources and equally diverse methodologies, the authors trace modernity's unstable foundations in the slippages and ruptures of colonial gender and sexual politics. As a whole, the essays illustrate that modern colonial regimes are never self-evidently hegemonic, but are always in process - subject to disruption and contest - and never finally accomplished; they are therefore unfinished business. The book is divided into four sections: mapping new...
