A New History of Iberian Feminisms

A New History of Iberian Feminisms is both a chronological history and an analytical discussion of feminist thought in the Iberian Peninsula, including Portugal, and the territories of Spain - the Basque Provinces, Catalonia, and Galicia - from the eighteenth century to the present day. The Iberian Peninsula encompasses a dynamic and fraught history of feminism that had to contend with entrenched tradition and a dominant Catholic Church. Editors Silvia Bermúdez and Roberta Johnson and their contributors reveal the long and historical struggles of women living within various parts of the Iberian Peninsula to achieve full citizenship. A New History of Iberian Feminisms comprises a great deal of new scholarship, including nineteenth-century essays written by women on the topic of equality. By addressing these lost texts of feminist thought, Bermúdez, Johnson, and their contributors reveal that female equality, considered a dormant topic in the early nineteenth century, was very much part of the political conversation, and helped to launch the new feminist wave in the second half of the century.

Reciprocidad Hombre-Mujer

Este libro ofrece una reflexión equilibrada sobre el sentido de la feminidad y la masculinidad como categorías flexibles del desarrollo creativo de cada persona. La autora despliega un diálogo continua con la cultura contemporánea de la diferencia. Contrariamente a los objetivos del feminismo "de primera fase", los años ochenta -con la reanudación de un feminismo "de segunda fase"- han recuperado el valor de los afectos, de la familia, de la maternidad, valores que nos impulsan a preguntarnos si es así como hay que plantear la "diferencia" entre los sexos. Porque el riesgo de esta cultura es el de recaer en las trampas de la definición estática de la naturaleza femenina. La referencia a los conceptos de persona y reciprocidad permite a la autora evitar los riesgos contrarios de una igualdad intensa como ocultación y de una exagerada diferencia como abismal alteridad. En su prólogo a la edición española, Ángeles Galino realiza la gran aportación de situar esta interesante obra en nuestro contexto.

La vieja guardia de la antropología feminista

La vieja guardia de la antropología feminista presenta la obra de cuatro antropólogas de las primeras hornadas —Teresa del Valle, Dolores Juliano, Virginia Maquieira y Verena Stolcke— que aúnan en sus personas la disciplina antropológica y el compromiso feminista. Como señala una de ellas, la antropología les sirve para tratar de entender el mundo en el que viven y el feminismo es el arma más eficaz para transformarlo. Las cuatro, cansadas e irritadas por el androcentrismo y el patriarcalismo hegemónicos, conjugan en su quehacer docente e investigador un alto nivel profesional que va indisolublemente ligado a una actitud comprometida y apasionada para cambiar el orden social, fundamentalmente las relaciones de género, tan desiguales. Es por todo ello que Teresa, Dolores, Virginia y Verena se han convertido en pioneras y referentes indiscutibles del panorama académico y feminista del Estado español.

Women and the Law

Given the remarkable similarities between Burgos's critical analysis and recent feminist legal theory, her writings are still disturbingly relevant today. This study also explores the relationship between melodrama as a genre of manichean worldviews and law as a system of binary oppositions and discusses Burgos's subversion of the former as a means to criticise the latter."--Jacket.

First published in 2002. This fascinating collection of essays examines the politics of gender and desire in premodern Iberia. Eukene Lacarra Lanz brings together a group of noted specialists in Arabic, as well as Castilian, Catalan and other Romance languages, to investigate the changes that affected marriage and sexuality over the course of the millennium, from approximately 650 to 1650 A.D. The contributors utilise a variety of literary and philosophical texts, legal documents, and medical treatises to explore a broad range of topics, such as shrew-taming, wedding rituals, wet-nursing, cross-dressing, sodomy and moral pornography. The volume's interdisciplinary approach traces the origins and genealogies of the predominant discourses on these subjects that engaged the minds of medieval and premodern writers, moralists, politicians and scientists alike. Marriage and sexuality in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia offers a rich history and insightful analysis of some of the central themes of Hispanic literary and cultural life.
