In this engaging and timely volume, Margaret A. Simons and an international group of philosophers present 16 essays that reveal Beauvoir as one of the century's most important and influential thinkers. As they set Beauvoir's work into dialogue with Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Foucault, Levinas, and others, these essays consider questions such as Beauvoir's philosophical relationship with Sartre; her ethic of the erotic; her views on marriage, motherhood, and female friendship; and her interpretations of oppression and liberation. This book discusses the full range of Beauvoir's work, including The Second Sex, her unpublished diaries, autobiographical writings, novels, and philosophical essays, and broadens the scope and interpretive context of her unique philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are Nancy Bauer, Debra Bergoffen, Suzanne Laba Cataldi, Edward Fullbrook, Eva Gothlin, Sara Heinämaa, Laura Hengehold, Stacy Keltner, Michèle Le Doeuff, Ann Murphy, Shannon M.

Katherine Ann Wiley examines the shifting roles of Muslim ?ara?in (ex-slaves and their descendants) women, who provide financial support for their families. Wiley uses economic activity as a lens to examine what makes suitable work for women, their trade practices, and how they understand and assert their social positions, social worth, and personal value in their everyday lives. She finds that while genealogy and social hierarchy contributed to status in the past, women today believe that attributes such as wealth, respect, and distance from slavery help to establish social capital. Wiley shows how the legacy of slavery continues to constrain some women even while many of them draw on neoliberal values to connect through kinship, friendship, and professional associations. This powerful ethnography challenges stereotypical views of Muslim women and demonstrates how they work together to navigate social inequality and bring about social change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press (IPS)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52690825838959,"sku":"9780253036223","price":274.93,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0253036224.jpg?v=1771517431"},{"product_id":"the-lady-as-saint","title":"The Lady as Saint","description":"The thirteenth century was the golden age of French verse hagiography, and more than half of the two hundred extant French saints' lives date from this period. Among the saints exalted are thirteen female martyrs and hermits of early Christianity. In The Lady as Saint, Brigitte Cazelles offers the first English translation of these lives and provides extensive commentary on the portrayal of female spirituality and perfection in the literary context of twelfth- and thirteenth-century France.\u003cp\u003eIn her analysis, Cazelles poses two key questions. First, why this preference for heroines of a bygone era at the expense of more contemporary models of female spiritual perfection? Second, what did these early martyrs and hermits have in common with their thirteenth-century audience? Cazelles contends that the woman saint depicted in verse hagiography and the courtly lady depicted in secular literature share certain common characteristics: visibility, passivity, and silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut unlike the courtly lady -- and unlike the male subjects of saints' lives -- the female saint is explicitly corporeal. Spirituality is most often evidenced or expressed in the saint's battle to preserve her virginity; at some point in each of the lives, the saint is displayed stripped of her clothing and her naked body is mutilated by her tormentors. Cazelles argues that the violence in these stories demonstrates the sacrificial import of the portrayals. Further, she contends that the entire corpus of thirteenth-century French hagiographic romance is, in effect, a violation of the female body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lady as Saint is an original and perceptive work. It will be of interest to scholars and students of French literature,medieval history, religious studies, and women's studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691509182831,"sku":"9780812213805","price":197.78,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0812213807.jpg?v=1771540081"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/estudos-sobre-genero.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
