Encompassing Passing - Identities in the Making (Paperback, New edition): Mihaela Mudure Encompassing Passing - Identities in the Making (Paperback, New edition)
Mihaela Mudure
R1,372 Discovery Miles 13 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is a collection of articles written by international scholars and dealing with passing from a textual and cultural perspective. All these explorations of a complex identity phenomenon that defies reductive dualities result in scholarly interrogations of societal arrangements. The texts under perusal belong to different historical periods and various communities. The novelty of this collection is that passing is viewed not only as a racial or gendered transformation, but also as a religious one. The book deals with passing either as a strategy that results in assimilation, melting, and merging, or as resistance and challenge against the whiteness-only-based identity politics.

Trading Women, Traded Women - A Historical Scrutiny of Gendered Trading (Hardcover, New edition): Goenul Bakay, Mihaela Mudure Trading Women, Traded Women - A Historical Scrutiny of Gendered Trading (Hardcover, New edition)
Goenul Bakay, Mihaela Mudure
R3,046 Discovery Miles 30 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

For the scholarly reader it is a truism that trade, in its widest sense (exchange, interchange, deal) is the basis of human society, it is part of the human interaction which is the very texture of society. The French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss demonstrated in his seminal essay "The Elementary Structures of Kinship" that human society relies on the exchange of women by men. But women are not only the passive object of this trade among men. They also try and often succeed in trading goods, ideas, and changing their subject position by getting the upper hand in this crucial exchange. Little attention has been given to genderizing the connection between trade and the British Enlightenment and to its subsequent influence on women's history and/or literary or visual representations of women by women or men. The contributors in this collection focus on women as physical or symbolic traded objects, as subversive women trading in spite of cultural and social stereotypes, and as women empowered in the cultural, political, and social trade.
