Representações do Feminino na Literatura, Artes e Mídias
Os ensaios aqui reunidos são de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de diversas instituições de ensino superior do Brasil, os quais utilizam como aporte teórico, principalmente, os estudos de gênero, a crítica feminista e transfeminista. Assim, possuindo 17 capítulos, a presente publicação traz pesquisas que variam em análises para além do âmbito literário e que buscam contribuir com esse campo de estudo que está em constante atualização, haja vista que segue o desenvolvimento social e a luta do movimento feminista. Tais pesquisas possibilitam o ato de refletir, de forma plural e não essencialista, as figuras femininas e sua relação com as artes. Ademais, apresentam visões de mundo femininas, nas quais o papel e a imagem que se tem das mulheres podem ser reavaliados de forma crítica, uma vez que apresentam ideias que tornam possível ver e compreender essa autorrepresentação como um caminho para a liberdade intelectual e autonomia feminina.
Selected Writings of Otto Jespersen (Routledge Revivals)
This volume, first published in 1960 to commemorate the one hundredth birthday of Jespersen, collects together as many of his writings as possible in order to allow students of the English language, or indeed of language in general, to read those shorter papers which have hitherto escaped their notice. The layout of the book largely follows the nature of the subjects dealt with: English grammar, phonetics, history of English, language teaching, language in general, international language and miscellaneous papers.
The Princess Diaries
'You're not Mia Thermopolis any more, honey,' Dad said. 'You're Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo. Princess of Genovia.' A PRINCESS?? ME??? Yeah. Right. One minute Mia's a totally normal Manhattan fourteen-year-old. Next minute she's heir to the throne of Genovia, being trailed by a bodyguard, taking princess lessons with her uncontrollable old grandmere, and having a makeover with someone called Paolo. Well, her dad can lecture her till he's royal blue in the face, but no way is Mia going to turn herself into a style-queen. And they think she's moving to Genovia? Er, hello? Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. This beloved series continues in the second book, A Royal Disaster.
The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order
Both a literary magazine and a chronicle of girl culture, Bust was born in 1993.

A kind of Our Bodies, Ourselves for Generation XX, The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order is destined to become required reading for today's hip urban girl and her admirers.

Chick Lit and Postfeminism
The author offers a scholarly dissection of "chick lit" from a post-feminist perspective. She analyzes the novel Bridget Jones' Diary and the HBO series Sex and the City while making parallels back to writings of Jane Austen and the Victorian novel in general. She looks at what these works say about women in society and whether they are just an escape or a serious reflection of women's concerns.
Chick Lit
From the bestselling Bridget Jones's Diary that started the trend to the television sensation Sex and the Citythat captured it on screen, "chick lit" has become a major pop culture phenomenon. Banking on female audiences' identification with single, urban characters who struggle with the same life challenges, publishers have earned millions and even created separate imprints dedicated to the genre. Not surprisingly, some highbrow critics have dismissed chick lit as trashy fiction, but fans have argued that it is as empowering as it is entertaining. This is the first volume of its kind to examine the chick lit phenomenon from a variety of angles, accounting for both its popularity and the int...
