Das 2023 in München stattgefundene Festival »Female Peace Palace« widmete sich dem Mut, den Vorstellungen und den Kämpfen von Frauen in Krieg und Widerstand. Mit Theater, Literatur, Gesprächen, Vorträgen und Podcasts wurde ein Bogen von einem visionären historischen Ereignis während des Ersten Weltkriegs - dem Internationalen Frauenfriedenskongress 1915 in Den Haag - hin zu aktuellen Konfliktzonen gespannt. Im Vertrauen auf die Kunst und das Theater suchten die Autor*innen, Künstler*innen, Journalist*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen nach Beschreibungen für die Dilemmata und Höllen des Krieges und widmeten sich gleichzeitig der Kraft, aus der gemeinsames Handeln dagegen wachsen kann. Das internationale Festival war eine erste Einladung, ins Imaginieren und Sprechen zu kommen, wo angesichts von Krieg und Hass Worte und Vorstellungsvermögen fehlen. Das gleichnamige Lesebuch dokumentiert das Festival der Monacensia und der Münchner Kammerspiele und erweitert es mit neuen Beiträgen.

"Sonora Jha expertly inhabits the perspective of a man so terrified of the old world slipping away, he can't see the ground shifting beneath his feet. A deliciously sharp, mercilessly perceptive exploration of power, The Laughter explores how 'otherness' is both fetishized and demonized, and what it means to love something?a person, a country?that does not love you back."?Celeste Ng, New York Times-bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere and Our Missing HeartsA white male college professor develops a dangerous obsession with his new Pakistani colleague in this modern, iconoclastic novel.Dr. Oliver Harding, a tenured professor of English, is long settled into the routines of a divorced, aging academic. But his quiet, staid life is upended by his new colleague, Ruhaba Khan, a dynamic Pakistani Muslim law professor.Ruhaba unexpectedly ignites Oliver's long-dormant passions, a secret desire that quickly tips towards obsession after her teenaged nephew, Adil Alam, arrives from France to stay with her. Drawn to them, Oliver tries to reconcile his discomfort with the worlds from which they come, and to quiet his sense of dismay at the encroaching change they represent?both in background and in Ruhaba's spirited engagement with the student movements on campus.After protests break out demanding diversity across the university, Oliver finds himself and his beliefs under fire, even as his past reveals a picture more complicated than it seems. As Ruhaba seems attainable yet not, and as the women of his past taunt his memory, Oliver reacts in ways shocking and devastating.An explosive, tense, and illuminating work of fiction, The Laughter is a fascinating portrait of privilege, radicalization, class, and modern academia that forces us to confront the assumptions we make, as both readers and as citizens.

"Sometimes that's all it takes to save a world, you see. A new vision. A new way of thinking, appearing at just the right time." These words were spoken by a fictional character in N. K. Jemisin's 2019 utopian novella Emergency Skin. But the idea of saving the world through utopian imaginings has a deep and profound history. At this moment of rupture-with the related crises of the pandemic, racial uprisings, and climate change converging-Utopian Imaginings revisits this history to show how utopian thought and practice offer alternative paths to the future. The third book in the Humanities to the Rescue series, the volume examines both lived and imagined utopian communities from an interdisciplinary perspective. While attentive to the troubled and troubling elements of different spaces and collectives, Utopian Imaginings remains premised in hope, culminating in a series of inspiring exemplars of the utopian potential of the college classroom today.

Teniendo en cuenta la frecuente invisibilidad del cine de mujeres y del cine queer en los manuales de historia del cine, el presente volumen se dedica a un estudio transnacional de cuestiones de construcción de género, cuerpo, mirada, queerness y deseo femenino en la cultura fílmica y televisiva de lenguas románicas desde un punto de vista estético, epistemológico, y transmedial. El volumen se entiende como una invitación a viajar por nuevas cartografías del deseo: siguiendo las huellas de una historiografía transnacional del cine y de la cultura audio-visual que ofrece figuras del pensamiento y del deseo nómadas y que huye voluntariamente de los conceptos binarios de una biopolítica normativa para proponer una cartografía alternativa del deseo femenino y queer.

This book offers an original empirical study into the gendered and sexual experiences of Iranian Muslim women going through menopause. Using a biographical lifecourse lens, it explores the processes through which these experiences are shaped by hegemonic gender norms, as well as how these women express their agency. Centering the voices of Iranian Muslim women, this book links sexuality, ageing, and the body to the matter of menopause, conceived here as a gendered, embodied and lived phenomenon characterised both by cultural constraint and by individual reflexive body techniques. By considering gender and sexuality as vectors of power with internal politics, inequalities, and oppression alongside embodied practice, the author shows how the life course provides a trajectory of sex and sexuality that routes both in time, space, social and cultural context.

When Dorothy Pilley first began climbing in the 1910s, female mountaineers were seen as a dangerous liability, their achievements ignored, unrecorded or disbelieved. Undeterred, Dorothy proved herself on the vertiginous slopes of Wales, Scotland and the Lake District before tackling rock faces in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, Mount Fuji and the Himalayas. Her tireless championing of fellow women climbers and her own trailblazing example helped establish female alpinists as serious mountaineers with impressive records on bravery, skill and endurance. First published in 1935, Climbing Days tells a daredevil tale of adventure, near-death slips and rapturous achievement in high places, interleaved with moments highlighting the particular challenges of being a woman in a sport seen as the province of men.

"In an alternate Edinburgh of 1824, every woman lives in fear that she will be the next one hanged for witchcraft. All it takes is invoking the anger, or the desire, of the wrong person. Nellie Duncan, beautiful and unwed, keeps to herself until she encounters the Rae Women's Apothecary. There, fiery Jean Rae and the other women provide cures and teach others that they too can aid the winter deity, the Cailleach, embracing her characteristic independence, agency, and craft, in turn becoming witches themselves. Nellie finds a place and a purpose at the shop, and a blossoming romance with Jean, as she learns about nature-based craft and a witch's ability to return to life after death. But the Cailleach has an ancient enemy intent on stripping the power of the deity and all her witches, leaving a wake of patriarchal violence and destruction. When heartbreaking disaster strikes, Nellie flees and spends the next two centuries hiding from the world--until love gives her the courage and the motivation to come back. Nellie's past is waiting for her there, and hanging witches is no longer the only means of oppression. But this time, Nellie refuses to run--either from her foes, or from her resolve to awaken others to the unimaginable power that can come with fighting the patriarchy in its many forms--and finding one's own magical inner strength"--

A novel about the dark gifts of grief, what it means to belong, and the possibility that time and space may not be what we think they are.It is the morning following a devastating hurricane on England’s south coast, and local painter Dolores is walking the shingle beach of the Headland. She spots something unusual lurking in a piece of driftwood—a color, a creature, perhaps something fostered by the twin forces of storm and atomic fallout. It’s all anyone has been talking about, after all, just months after Chernobyl and in the shadow of the local nuclear power station.Decades later, her son Morgan returns to the Headland to arrange for Dolores’ funeral. The power station is about to be decommissioned, and the bleak landscape is best known now as a landing point for desperate immigrants from across the Channel. Morgan’s girlfriend is pregnant—an unexpected revelation that he is not at all sure about—and he is especially keen to discover what he can from his mother’s unusual cottage, especially about his father, whom he has never known. He uncovers the diary his mother wrote following the hurricane. It tells a story about Dolores and the strange being she discovers on the beach—a story which is both enthralling and heartrending. As he reads the journal, Morgan’s own experiences of the Headland become increasingly inexplicable. The journal challenges Morgan’s ideas about love and grief, parenthood and belonging, and the very fabric of time. As he unravels the mysteries of his mother’s past, he must come to terms with his own origins and face the growing violence from those who would threaten the peace of the Headland.

A beguiling debut novel about friendship and failure.

"A complete masterpiece that touches the life of a Dalit woman to the fullest..." Samata Foundation, NepalDurga and Prabesh, a young intercaste couple from Nepal, are discovered having a secret affair. The threat of violent reprisal prohibits any hope of staying together, and they are forced to follow very different paths. This is their story.In a remote Himalayan village where casteism is rife and poverty is endemic, teenaged Durga does her best to accept her karma, and her hastily arranged marriage to a violent alcoholic. Durga's only joy is the secret knowledge that Prabesh is her son's father, and she nurtures hope that one day they will be reunited through their son, and they will all escape to Kathmandu together.But there is no escape in sight. Instead, Durga is continually brutalised by her alcoholic husband and forced to endure daily discrimination because of an unfair caste system. She tries hard, but it is a struggle to accept that this is her karma. When she discovers the local community is outraged at her because she did not give birth in the squalid and unhygienic communal hut - and that her husband has stolen her meagre savings to go on a drinking binge, Durga has finally had enough. Violence, injustice, discrimination, poverty. The time has come to rebel - to fight for a better life for her children, for her neighbours, for herself. But defying age-old traditions and ingrained prejudices - by one who is the most oppressed - is an intimidating journey. Durga must find the courage - and her voice - before she can succeed.In Durga's home village, schoolteacher Prabesh believes it was not karma but deep-rooted discrimination - and the threat of violence - that prevented he and Durga from being together. As a high caste, Prabesh comes from privilege. His life as a respected teacher in rural Nepal is idyllic by comparison. He has never been hungry and has never wanted for anything. The only infringement on Prabesh's rights come from his overly meddling mother, and his shamelessly bigoted and corrupt father. Angry at his inability to defy his father and marry Durga, Prabesh sets up a social work program to assist the impoverished children in his village. For Prabesh, the program has special significance. It targets children from the same caste as Durga, and their families are mostly victims of his father's corrupt practices. Prabesh's dislike for his father continues to increase the more he discovers the extent of the poverty, and it is difficult not to be overwhelmed. But he perseveres, and his dedication arouses both sympathy and donations from overseas. Prabesh's father, upon hearing of the donations, insists on becoming involved in the program, and his greedy machinations force Prabesh to confront both ethical and moral dilemmas. The only way to keep the project alive, and help all those children, is for Prabesh to find his voice, and the courage to defy his father.315 pagesPublished November 1, 2023

This dissertation explores how younger generations of Black feminists interpret,collaborate with, and engage with the ideas and ideals of their so-called "Second Wave"Black feminist fore-sisters. Many of these women, including Alice Walker, BarbaraSmith, Michele Wallace, bell hooks, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Angela Davis, and JohnnettaCole, remain enormously influential and continue to organize, write, teach, and produceart and scholarship. The late Audre Lorde, the "black, lesbian, warrior, poet, mother"who integrally claimed and celebrated all of her differences is arguably one of theworld's most revered and cited Black feminist theorists in this the 86th anniversary of herbirth. Intergenerational Black feminists-and people of all colors throughout the world-study, celebrate, and teach her words and ideas. Throughout this study, I consider howLorde's ideas are a touchstone for intergenerational Black feminist activism and culturalproduction in the new millennium. My research lies at the intersection of AfricanAmerican feminism, cultural studies, Women of Color feminisms, and Black QueerStudies. I engage with scholarship in the arenas of literary criticism, history, cinema,visual culture, political science, philosophy, sociology, as well as legal scholars of theCritical Race Movement. I also consider my own location within this debate.

This book explores how academic leaders throughout higher education experience and practice care and the ethics of care. Drawing on a narrative inquiry study of experiences and practices of feminist care ethics in higher education leadership, Schultz counters academic norms, including expectations of competition and criticism across all activities, by uncovering the common experiences of academic leaders who intentionally adopt practices guided by an ethics of care and relationality. Within the context of institutions of higher education responding to present-day social movements, the book highlights how practices of care-centered leadership can enable change that begins on campus and reaches outwards to positively impact the community.

This book explores the intersection of gender and disability in the context of tourism. In part, the book foregrounds feminist theorising of intersectionality by examining how gender can overlap with other social identities to contribute to more systemic oppression, domination, discrimination, and marginalisation of certain categories of people. Our point of departure is that disability does not operate in isolation as it is constituted and experienced within an already gendered social and tourism environment. With substantial research on the intersection of gender and tourism on the one hand, and the intersection of disability and tourism on the other hand, the interconnectedness of gender and disability and the implications this has on tourism policy and practice remains understudied. Thus, the book provides a critical lens that helps unpack underlying assumptions about gender and disability while questioning the dominant ideas about gender and disability reproduced through tourism policies and institutional practices in an African context.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Tourism Studies, particularly those with a research interest in Africa.

Words for Women is a collection of poems about reclaiming language. From the ancient Greeks' Harpy and Medusa to today's Housewife and Drama Queen, words with negative or sexualized connotations have been assigned to women and pejoratively used by people to diminish women and girls. Words for Women takes those terms and, through the sound, rhythm and intent of poems, demonstrates how they have been used and how they can be reclaimed as part of a journey to equity and wholeness.
