The Second Sound
An imaginary conversation between musicians and sound artists on the role of gender and sex within their field and for their artistry. It gathers testimonies from a variety of artists from different backgrounds into a single stream of (often contrary) opinions, addressing three main area?s: discrimination as paradigm and otherness, gendered music and sound art, and the navigation of the field.0The Second Sound is a project by Julia Eckhardt (of Q-O2, a workspace for experimental contemporary music and sound art in Brussels) and Leen De Graeve and was released on the new publishing house umland.
Composing Women
This volume presents fifteen musicological perspectives on the creativity of women composers and the question of 'femininity' in Southeastern-European musical cultures from 1918 on. In the questions about and beyond a 'female aesthetics', socio-cultural approaches to the lives of creative women prove to be indispensable for contemporary musicological gender research, because highly complex facts of musical life and social realities in political systems cannot be separated from each other. By this means the exclusion and marginalization of women composers in the national and international music establishment, as well as strategies for overcoming these systems, are made visible and brought to consciousness. This volume therefore focusses on the social, cultural, and biological preconditions of cultural action, and intends to arouse curiosity for multi-layered realities; it aims to increase the reception of the compositional oeuvre of women composers from Southeastern Europe by the global music scene, the musicological discourse, and an engaged audience.
The Second Sound
Gathering anonymous testimonies from artists of different backgrounds into a single stream of (often contrary) opinions, the book addresses discrimination as a paradigm of otherness, the possibility of gendered music and sound art, and how sound artists and musicians navigate the field. The Second Sound raises questions such as: How do life circumstances find their way into music and sound art? How does music reflect historical and social structures? What does discrimination do, and how can we navigate around it? Is the under-representation of women and LGBTQ people in the field a symptom or a cause? Is art itself gendered? And can it reflect the gender of its maker? Is a different way of listening needed to more accurately understand those voices from outside the historical canon? Although this book raises more questions than it answers, it came to be a pledge for embracing artistic differences, for the richness of contextual listening, and for honesty in the expression of concerns and doubts. The responses seem to suggest that understanding differences by theme and not as predetermination is a way to provide freedom in a field of seemingly abstract art.
Trabalhadoras do cinema brasileiro
Como sabemos, as mulheres são impermeáveis à genialidade – basta pensar nos gênios da história para perceber a ausência delas. Ironia à parte, o que é relevante aqui é reconhecer que "ser grande", muitas vezes, é colocar outros em posição subalterna. Se uns se tornam grandes é à custa do silenciamento de muitas – isso diz respeito tanto ao gênero quanto aos cargos exercidos dentro do cinema: enquanto a direção costuma ser destacada, pouco se sabe sobre as demais funções, ainda menos quando são mulheres a desempenhar essas atividades. Pois é justamente a atenção dada à participação feminina nessas etapas da realização de um filme que a proposta deste novo livro...

Humble Women, Powerful Nuns
Nineteenth-century female congregation founders could achieve levels of autonomy, power and prestige that were beyond reach for most women of their time. With a subject hidden for a long time behind a curtain of modesty and mystery, this book recounts the fascinating but ambiguous life stories of four Belgian religious women. A close reading of their personal writings unveils their conflicted existence: ambitious, engaged, and bold on the one hand, suffering and isolated on the other, they were both victims and promotors of a nineteenth-century ideal of female submission. As religious and social entrepreneurs these women played an influential role in the revival of the church and the development of education, health care and social provisions in modern Belgium. But, equally well, they were bound to rigid gender patterns and adherents of an ultramontane church ideology that fundamentally distrusted modern society.
