Gendering Orientalism: Race, Femininity and Representation

This study challenges masculinist assumptions relating to the stability and homogeneity of the Orientalist gaze.

Their relationship to the shifting terms of race, nation and gender produced positions from which women writers and artists could articulate alternative representations of racial difference. 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...

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.

Her analysis of the differences and similarities in these practices - their varying degrees of intimacy and reciprocity, formality and informality, vulnerability and choice -...
