The Personal of the Political
In an era of the radicalization of political ideologies in Europe, long-lasting societal remnants of the economic breakdown, and the neoliberalist consolidation of capitalist values, it is ethically relevant to critically reconceptualise the meaning and role of European feminisms and the challenges they have to confront today, both locally and transnationally. In the face of ubiquitous beliefs about feminism having exhausted itself, such a rethinking of the place and priorities of feminist politics within and outside academia is urgently needed. The popularization of the so-called faux-feminisms, assuming attained emancipation in the present-day neoliberal environment of advanced capitalism,...
Buying Into Change
Buying into Change examines how the development of a mass consumer society under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco (1939–1975) inserted Spain into transnational consumer networks and set the stage for Spain’s transition to democracy during the late 1970s. This transition is broadly significant to both a Spanish public still struggling to redefine their society after Franco and to scholars who have long debated the origins of Spain’s current democracy, yet many aspects of it remain largely unexamined. Buying into Change incorporates mass consumption into our understanding of Spain’s democratic transition by tracing the spread and social impact of new foreign-influenced depa...
Dios, patria y hogar
II premio Isabel Torres a investigaciones en estudios de las mujeres y del género, 2006. Durante los siglos XIX y XX se desarrolló un esfuerzo para que fuese la mujer impermeable a la transformación de la realidad social, a alterar la jerarquía de sexos establecida y promover su acceso a la esfera pública, utilizando para ello el eficaz instrumento de socialización y control que resultaron ser las asociaciones femeninas. Este estudio se centra en el periodo más evidente: durante el primer tercio del siglo XX y el inicio de la dictadura franquista.
Mapping the Magazine
The media and more recently journalism have provided rich areas of study for many years but magazines, perhaps the most prolific single medium, have been largely ignored. Mapping The Magazine aims to redress the balance with an unprecedented collection of original, scholarly, detailed but wide-ranging examinations of the magazine form. Drawing on a variety of theoretical approaches and a wealth of titles from around the world, the contributions demonstrate just how significant the magazine has been, and continues to be, in the realm of journalism and cultural production. From the science magazines of the Victorian era to women’s magazines of South Africa and Israel, via rock music and phot...
Prensa femenina
Plantear el estudio de la prensa femenina desde el feminismo es un acto revolucionario. Esta ha sido una prensa ignorada, como le sucedió en sus inicios a la televisión al ser considerada demasiado popular. Esta es una prensa encasillada, claramente alineada con los valores sociales tradicionales. Pero Marta Orsini consigue desprenderse de estas miradas, que no hacen otra cosa que limitarnos, y profundiza sobre cómo las revistas femeninas contribuyen en el empoderamiento de las mujeres. La autora escarba los rastros del feminismo y, efectivamente, los encuentra. Eso sí, muchas veces cargados de contradicciones, como cuando aparecen anuncios de cremas rejuvenecedoras seguidos de reportajes que defienden no ocultar la vejez, o que plantean un empoderamiento muy diluido. Así, el autocuidado del que hablan suele estar más pensado para las demandas ajenas que para las propias. Pero su viaje ha merecido la pena.
