"Collection of articles on academic feminism, gender relations and history in the Basque Country"--Provided by publisher.
El feminismo y las transformaciones en la política
El feminismo, siempre en movimiento, siempre transformándose, envejece y rejuvenece a la vez. Mari Luz Esteban, antropóloga y activista feminista, escribe sobre el movimiento feminista y sobre los cambios que el feminismo ha vivido en las últimas décadas, desde su experiencia en el País Vasco. ¿Qué podemos decir del movimiento feminista actual? ¿Cómo se crea y cómo circula el conocimiento feminista? ¿Qué relación hay entre la teoría y la pràctica? ¿Qué retos nos plantea la presencia mediàtica del feminismo? ¿Qué garantiza el éxito de una política feminista? ¿Reforma o ruptura o reforma y ruptura?... Reflexiones situadas que trascienden las fronteras del territorio del feminismo, que no pretenden dictar sentencia sino ser un estímulo para el debate, una invitación a repensar también algunos de los temas estrella del feminismo: el poder, la violencia, los cuidados... El feminismo es un estar juntas, un cuerpo colectivo que reúne intelecto, razón, materia, emoción, sensación, imaginación...
Love
This unique, timely book of original essays sets the stage for a new materialist feminist debate on the analysis, ethics and politics of love. The contributors raise questions about social power and domination, situating their research in a materialist feminist perspective that investigates love historically, in order to understand changing ideologies, representations and practices. The essays range from studies of particular representations and examples of love - feminist translation, mass media images and internet love blogs - to feminist theories of love and marriage, to ethical and political theories describing, critiquing or advocating the use of love in groups as a radical force. They break new ground in bringing together questions of gendered interests in love, temporal dimensions of loving practices and the politics of love in radical transformations of society.
African Realities
African Realities: Body, Culture and Social Tensions is the result of research anthropology work carried out in different African countries, mainly in Equatorial Guinea, but also in Senegal, Cabo Verde, Benin and Ethiopia. All the different chapters of this volume address a diversity of subjects related to relevant issues, such as gender, age, social class, ethnicity and coloniality, which are indispensable for understanding current African realities. Furthermore, all of these chapters investigate the importance people place on the body and, more concretely, the manner in which these people present it to others as a common denominator. After a brief theoretical introduction about the key con...
Gender, Youth and Education in Early 21st Century Spain

Flamenco on the Global Stage
The language of the body is central to the study of flamenco. From the records of the Inquisition, to 16th century literature, to European travel diaries, the Spanish dancer beguiles and fascinates. The word flamenco evokes the image of a sensuous and rebellious woman--the bailaora --whose movements seduce the audience, only to reject their attention with a stomp of defiance. The dancer's body is an agent of ideological resistance, conveying a conflicting desire for subjectivity and autonomy and implying deeply held ideas about history, national identity, femininity and masculinity. This collection of new essays provides an overview of flamenco scholarship, illuminating flamenco's narrative and chronology and addressing some common misconceptions. The contributors offer fresh perspectives on age-old themes and suggest new paradigms for flamenco as a cultural practice.

Diagnostic Fluidity
Diagnostic procedures are emblematic of medical work. Scholars in the field of social studies of medicine identify diverse dimensions of diagnosis that point to controversies, processual qualities and contested evidence. In this anthology, diagnostic fluidity is seen to permeate diagnostic work in a wide range of contexts, from medical interactions in the clinic, domestic settings and other relations of affective work, to organizational structures, and in historical developments. The contributors demonstrate, each in their own way, how different agents ‘do diagnosis’, highlighting the multi-faceted elements of uncertainty and mutability integral to diagnostic work. At the same time, the contributors also show how in ‘doing diagnosis’ enactments of subjectivities, representations of cultural imaginaries, bodily processes, and socio-cultural changes contribute to configuring diagnostic fluidity in significant ways.
