Dinamika Otonomi Tubuh Perempuan: Antara Kuasa Dan Negosiasi Atas Tubuh, Gabriella Devi Benedicta
Dinamika Otonomi Tubuh Perempuan: Antara Kuasa Dan Negosiasi Atas Tubuh, Gabriella Devi Benedicta
Masyarakat: Jurnal Sosiologi
This paper discusses sexuality and autonomy of woman’s body through a study of sexy dancers in entertainment industry in Malang, East Java. Entertainment industry, including night club industry is capital manifestation and a contested arena of any kind of ideology like capitalism and patriarchy. However, a woman still can show her autonomy of her body instead of being a commodity object. She can make her body as a subject. In this case, she, herself, becomes a doer which is controlling her own body. The dynamic of woman’s authority of her body is influenced by a certain setting and context. It …
How To Be The Best At Everything: The Gendering And Embodiment Of Girl/Boy Advice, Barbara Lesavoy
How To Be The Best At Everything: The Gendering And Embodiment Of Girl/Boy Advice, Barbara Lesavoy
Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought
This paper explores the binary divide packaged under the children’s How be the Best at Everything (2007) girl/boy advice books. Postmodern and materialist feminist thought as a lens into media-infused social and class reproduction provide a theoretical framework in interrogating this gender binary. I argue that that the books, as heteronormative nostalgia, operationalize a theory I term “gender retraction,” a phenomenon in which the vast knowledge that informs our identity spectrum propels us into a cultural time warp, where, with an array of socially inscribed possibilities, the binary clarity of age old girl/boy categories has resurging appeal The paper exposes …

Queering Art Before, After And During The Sexual Revolution (1960-1980): A Study Of Aesthetics And Subversion, Gary C. Kilian Mr.
The Macalester Review
Works produced by the queer artists in 1970s America is oftentimes not considered to be an integral part of the sexual revolution’s narrative. Not only is this problematic in that it demonstrates the heteronormative discourse that permeated liberatory pro-sex rhetoric of the time, but this exclusion also makes the LGBTQ struggle for visibility ahistorical. In this paper, I argue that notable artists who self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer created art that fostered gradual acceptance of the queer community before, during and after the sexual revolution, explaining that resistance to dominant paradigms were rendered unseen due to the …
La Complejidad Del Concepto De La Mujer Española De La Posguerra En La Novela De Manuel Mantero, Maria Aurora Álvarez Andréu
La Complejidad Del Concepto De La Mujer Española De La Posguerra En La Novela De Manuel Mantero, Maria Aurora Álvarez Andréu
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Ever since antiquity until the present, the concept of woman has been based on the duality of Mary and Eve. The intention of the present work is to study a third option to complete this preexisting duality of womanhood. More precisely, the objective of this work is to analyze how the characters of the single woman, the nun and the prostitute in León de Manuel Mantero's novel Estiércol [Manure] constitute an empty idea of the feminine which, consequently, will allow us to have a more clear perception of the social reality during Spain's post civil war era.
