Re-writing Women as Victims
This volume critically analyses political strategies, civil society initiatives and modes of representation that challenge the conventional narratives of women in contexts of violence. It deepens into the concepts of victimhood and agency that inform the current debate on women as victims. The volume opens the scope to explore initiatives that transcend the pair abuser–victim and explore the complex relations between gender and violence, and individual and collective accountability, through politics, activism and cultural productions in order to seek social transformation for gender justice. In innovative and interdisciplinary case studies, it brings attention to initiatives and narratives...
En brazos de la mujer fetiche
Análisis del tratamiento del cuerpo de la mujer como fetiche en las obras literarias de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, tanto en el "realismo" como en el "decadentismo". Se pasa revista a algunas formas de fetichismo como la necrofilia, la podolatría, la teratofilia (inclinación o amor hacia algún tipo de deformidad), el eidolismo (amor por las muñecas que reproducen a mujeres). También se analiza la relación del deseo erótico con el placer de la comida y con elementos religiosos; el donjuanismo y la ninfulomania (amor hacia las púberes, hacia la niña-Mujer). Se profundiza en las causas sociales y culturales de la época estudiada en lo que respecta a la consideración de la mujer como objeto, a menudo como objeto de lujo y placer. Los autores estudiados son: Clarín, Pérez Galdos, Pardo Bazan, Gómez de la Serna, Gabriel Miró y Valle Inclán. El análisis no duda en fijar su atención en otras artes, como la pintura o el cine, para completar la visión literaria. La obra concluye con una serie de reflexiones sobre el fetichismo en la sociedad actual con un exacerbado culto al cuerpo y a la moda.
Becoming and Consumption
Becoming and Consumption uses the Spanish novels Alivio rapido;Veo, veo; Amor, curiosidad, prozac, y dudas; and Los placeres de Anastasia to explore the relationships between globalization, consumption, and economies of experiences that yield innovative ways to reexamine and recreate female subjectivity. While the four contemporary Spanish female writers_Susana Plane, Silvia Grijalba, Gabriela Bustelo, and Lucia Etxebarria_maintain distinct personal narratives, there exists a commonality among their work. Through consumption, the protagonists of these authors' works navigate a multiplicity of images and codes in their journey of becoming an active female subject, an agent with the potential to enact change and evolve. Bosse provides insight into the feminist philosophy and identity politics found in contemporary Spanish novels.
Perfect
Social media is replete with images of 'perfection'. But many are unrealistic and contribute to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough; not pretty enough; not cool enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for being ‘attention-seeking’, don't try hard enough and you're slacking. Rosalind Gill challenges polarized perspectives that see young women as either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels fantastic, but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties. Gill uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time; worry about getting things wrong; and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect' yet at the same time ‘real’. It's the wake-up call we all need.

Contained Empowerment and the Liminal Nature of Feminisms and Activisms
Contained Empowerment and the Liminal Nature of Feminisms and Activisms examines the processes by which activist successes are limited and outlines a theoretical framing of the liminal and temporal limits to social justice efforts as “contained empowerment.” With a focused lens on the third wave and contemporary forms of feminism, the author investigates feminist activity from the early 1990s through responses and reactions to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 and contrasts these efforts with anti-feminist, white supremacist, and other structural normalizing efforts designed to limit and repress women's, gendered, and reproductive rights. This book includes analyses of celebrity activism, girl power, transnational feminist NGOs, digital feminisms, and the feminist mimicry applied by practitioners of neo-liberal and anti-feminism. Victoria A. Newsom concludes that the contained nature of feminist empowerment illustrates how activists must engage directly with intersectional challenges and address the multiplicities of structural oppressions in order to breach containment.
