Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron composed in the 1540s and first published posthumously in 1558 and 1559 has long been an interpretive puzzle. De Navarre (1492-1549) sister of King Francis I of France was a controversial figure in her lifetime. Her evangelical activities and proximity to the Crown placed her at the epicenter of her country’s internecine strife and societal unrest. Yet her short stories appear to offer few traces of the sociopolitical turbulence that surrounded her. In Marguerite de Navarre’s Shifting Gaze however Elizabeth Zegura argues that the Heptaméron’s innocuous appearance camouflages its serious insights into patriarchy and gender social class and early modern French politics which emerge from an analysis of the text’s shifting perspectives. Zegura’s approach which focuses on visual cues and alternative standpoints and viewing positions within the text hinges upon foregrounding les choses basses (lowly things) to which the devisante (storyteller) Oisille draws our attention in nouvelle (novella) 2 of the Heptaméron using this downward archaeological gaze to excavate layers of the text that merit more extensive critical attention. While her conclusions cast a new light on the literature life and times of Marguerite de Navarre they are nevertheless closely aligned with recent scholarship on this important historical and literary figure. | Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

In The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth Inácio Cunha explores the motif of lower limbs by amplifying their symbolism from a wide range of source materials including an intriguing statuette from prehistoric Brazilian culture. Taking a Jungian perspective Cunha gathers and compares rich material from different historical anthropological and mythological viewpoints as well as from fetish dreams fairy tales and physical symptoms. Noticing how often the subject of legs and feet manifested in his analytical practice not only as symptoms but also as dreams and fantasies Cunha set out to deeply scrutinize our symbolic understanding of these body segments. By observing the lower limbs in the context of evolution and their occurrence in mythology he proposes a parallel between the evolution in the manner of walking in different species and the development of consciousness. Cunha also surveys dreams relating to these body parts in multiple manifestations as part of complexes fantasies and fetishes and through the description of physical marks spots and injuries. Mythological icons such as Ulysses Achilles Oedipus Jacob and others are utilized to amplify the meaning of the feet and legs as far as their psychological meaning is concerned. The book also explores the lower limbs as a sign of creativity and projection of creative power before moving to investigate a clay icon from a pre-Columbian indigenous tribe the Tapajó: an ancient statuette of a girl with her left big toe in her mouth. Cunha analyzes the relevance of this image as an archetypal pattern occurring not only in his clinical work— in clients’ dreams and physical and emotional issues related to their lower limbs—but also in other cultures’ depictions of the left toe in stories and images. The utilization of material gathered in his extensive research from multiple sources characterizes the method of amplification advocated in analytical psychology as a possibility to extract symbolic meaning of a given image. The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth is an original overview of a rarely examined part of analytical psychology and symbolism and will have great appeal to Jungian analysts analytical psychologists and psychotherapists interested in somatic psychosomatic and symbolical understanding. It will also be of interest to academics and students of Jungian studies psychotherapy mythology anthropology history and symbolism. | The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

In a time of renewed interest in insurrectionary movements urban protest and anti-austerity indignation the idea of resistance is regaining its relevance in social theory. De-Pathologizing Resistance re-examines resistance as a concept that can aid social analysis highlighting the dangers of pathologising resistance as illogical and abnormal or exoticising it in romanticised but patronising terms. Taking a de-pathologising and de-exoticising perspective this book brings together insights from older and newer studies the intellectual biographies of its contributing authors and case studies of resistance in diverse settings such as Egypt Greece Israel and Mexico. From feminist studies to plaza occupations and anti-systemic uprisings there is an emerging need to connect the analysis of contemporary protest movements under a broader theoretical re-examination. The idea of resistance—with all of its contradictions and its dynamism—provides such a challenging opportunity.

Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism Fact Fiction and Voice

Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism: Fact Fiction and Voice argues that Riccoboni is among the most significant women writers of the French Enlightenment due to her epistolary feminism. Locating its source in her first novel Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd (1757) between fact and fiction public and private Marijn S. Kaplan provides new evidence supporting both the novel’s autobiography theory and de Maillebois hypothesis. Kaplan then traces how Riccoboni progressively develops a proto-feminist poetics of voice in her epistolary fiction empowering women to resist patriarchal efforts to silence and appropriate them which culminates in her final novel Lettres de Milord Rivers (1777). In nineteen relatively unknown letters (included with translations) written over three decades to her publisher Humblot several editors Diderot Laclos Philip Thicknesse etc. Riccoboni is shown similarly to defend her oeuvre her reputation and her authority as a woman (writer) refusing to be manipulated and silenced by men. | Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism Fact Fiction and Voice

This book explores the phenomenon of de facto states in Eurasia: states such as Abkhazia Nagorno-Karabakh and the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic. It examines how they are formed what sustains them and how their differing development trajectories have unfolded. It argues that most of these de facto states have been formed with either direct or indirect support from Russia but they all have their own internal logic and are not simply puppets in the hands of a powerful patron. The book provides detailed case studies and draws out general patterns and compares present-day de facto states with de facto states which existed in the past.

Farewell to Farms De-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa

First published in 1997 this volume asks whether Africa’s future is necessarily rooted in peasant agriculture. The title of this book Farewell to Farms is deliberately intended to challenge the widely held view that Africa is the world’s reserve for peasant farming. African rural populations are themselves moving away from a reliance on agriculture. ‘De-agrarianisation’ takes the form of urban migration as well as the expansion of non-agricultural activities in rural areas providing new income sources occupations and social identities for rural dwellers. Using recent continent-wide case study evidence the authors assess the impact of de-agrarianisation on household welfare business performance and national development. Their findings which reveal new economic trajectories and social patterns emerging from a period of accelerated change call into question assumptions about Africa’s future place in the world division of labour. | Farewell to Farms De-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa

Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Each of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library anatomy and medicine spirituality classical learning and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico opens up new readings of her texts through the lens of cultural and intellectual history and material culture in order to shed light on the production of knowledge in the seventeenth-century colonial Mexican society of which she was both a product and an anomaly. | Sor Juana In�de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico
