Women have been represented in art, literature, music, and more for
decades, with the image of the woman changing through time and
across cultures. However, rarely has a multidisciplinary approach
been taken to examine this imagery and challenge and possibly
reinterpret old women-related myths and other taken-for-granted
aspects (e.g., grammatically inclusive gender). Moreover, this
approach can better place the ideologies as myth creators and
propagators, identify and deconstruct stereotypes and prejudices,
and compare them across cultures with the view to spot universal
vs. culturally specific approaches as far as women's studies and
interpretations are concerned. It is important to gather these
perspectives to translate and unveil new interpretations to old
ideas about women and the feminine that are universally accepted as
absolute, impossible to challenge, and invalidated truths. The
Handbook of Research on Translating Myth and Reality in Women
Imagery Across Disciplines is a comprehensive reference book that
provides an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspective on
the perception and reception of women across time and space. It
tackles various perspectives: gender studies, linguistic studies,
literature and cultural studies, discourse analysis, philosophy,
anthropology, sociology, etc. Its main objective is to present new
approaches and propose new answers to old questions related to
gender inequalities, stereotypes, and prejudices about women and
their place in the world. Covering significant themes that include
the ethics of embodiment, myth of motherhood at the crossroad of
ideologies, translation of women's experiences and ideas across
cultures, and discourses on women's rehabilitation and
dignification across centuries, this book is critical for
linguists, professionals, researchers, academicians, and students
working in the fields of women's studies, gender studies, cultural
studies, and literature, as well as other related categories such
as political studies, education studies, philosophy, and the social
sciences.
