Feminisms de Lucy Delap

Feminisms

Autor Lucy Delap
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2021

În capitolul dedicat „Obiectelor” (Objects), Lucy Delap demonstrează cum cultura materială a modelat rezistența feminină, oferind o perspectivă proaspătă asupra modului în care ideologiile se manifestă în viața cotidiană. Reținem că această lucrare nu este o simplă cronologie a sufragiului, ci o reevaluare critică a mișcărilor globale pentru dreptate de gen. Feminisms se distinge prin refuzul de a accepta Europa ca punct de origine exclusiv al feminismului, explorând în schimb rădăcini alternative în luptele anti-coloniale și în diverse cadre religioase. Structura cărții este neconvențională și riguroasă: în loc de o împărțire pe „valuri” istorice, autoarea propune opt axe tematice — de la „Vise” și „Idei” la „Sentimentele” și „Cântecele” care au unit sau divizat femeile. Această organizare permite o analiză a paradoxului central al mișcării: în timp ce au luptat pentru incluziune, feministele au exercitat deseori propriile forme de marginalizare. Credem că această abordare face volumul mult mai dinamic decât istoriile liniare clasice. Comparativ cu The Routledge Global History of Feminism de Bonnie G. Smith, care funcționează ca un manual enciclopedic vast, Feminisms este o lucrare mai compactă și mai orientată spre sinteză analitică. Dacă Smith oferă o arhivă globală, Delap propune o istorie „utilizabilă”, menită să clarifice strategiile feministe contemporane. Această preocupare pentru raporturile de putere și identitate continuă cercetările autoarei din The Feminist Avant-Garde, unde analiza distincția dintre feminismul modern și mișcările tradiționale de femei, însă aici extinde cadrul de investigație la nivel mondial.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă feminismul ca fenomen global, nu doar occidental. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nuanțată asupra modului în care rasa, clasa și contextul colonial au influențat lupta pentru egalitate. Este o recomandare excelentă pentru studenții la sociologie și istorie, dar și pentru publicul larg interesat de justiție socială, oferind instrumente critice pentru a evalua mișcările politice actuale prin prisma lecțiilor trecutului.

Despre autor

Lucy Delap este un istoric respectat, specializat în istoria modernă a Marii Britanii și a mișcărilor de gen, activând în cadrul Universității Cambridge. Opera sa se concentrează pe intersecția dintre muncă, identitate și activism. În lucrări anterioare, precum Knowing Their Place, a investigat dinamica serviciului domestic, provocând viziunile tradiționale asupra muncii invizibile a femeilor. Prin Feminisms, Delap își consolidează poziția de cercetător care aduce în prim-plan vocile marginalizate, folosind o metodologie care îmbină istoria culturală cu analiza politică riguroasă, specifică tradiției academice Pelican.

Descriere scurtă

How has feminism developed? What have feminists achieved? What can we learn from the global history of feminism?

Feminism is the ongoing story of a profound historical transformation. Despite being repeatedly written off as a political movement that has achieved its aim of female liberation, it has been continually redefined as new generations of women campaign against the gender inequity of their age.

In this absorbing book, historian Lucy Delap challenges the simplistic narrative of 'feminist waves' - a sequence of ever more progressive updates ­- showing instead that feminists have been motivated by the specific concerns of their historical moment. Drawing on an extraordinary range of examples from Japan to Russia, Egypt to Germany, Delap explores different feminist projects to show that those who are part of this movement have not always agreed on a single programme. This diverse history of feminism, she argues, can help us better navigate current debates and controversies.

A tour de force from an award-winning expert, Feminisms shows that a rich relationship to the past can infuse today's activism with a sense possibility and inspiration.

Recenzii

"In this history Lucy Delap, a historian at Cambridge University, analyses the lives and work of feminist activists and writers, including many of those in Ms Dawson’s anthology. Rather than taking a chronological approach, Ms Delap organises her book by themes, such as the 'dreams' feminists have, the 'spaces' they make and the 'actions' they take. The book pays particular attention to movements in which activists participated, such as those advocating socialism or anti-colonialism. Another focus is differences of opinion and background and instances of discrimination within the feminist movement itself. Ms Delap also discusses feminist men."

"Delap's chapters compose a journey through time and space more circular than linear—a carousel ride in which the ups and downs are as much a part of the trip as the forward movement. . . . [She] offer[s] fascinating snapshots from an astonishing archive of academic studies. . . . Each chapter finds its own path geographically and temporally—composing a pageant that runs from the speculum to the hijab, from the German League for the Protection of Motherhood to Radicalesbians, from breaking windows to singing, from bloomers to zines. Delap is not only applauding, however. She means to write a critical history, and assesses the gains and disadvantages of various methods and strategies, quite aware that projects of feminist intent do not ipso facto vanquish inequalities imposed by class, race, colonialism, or citizenship status. Some women's dreams are nightmares for others. . . . Delap examines several such sobering incidents to encourage contemporary and future feminists to be wary of repeating past mistakes."

"This outstanding work . . . takes a thematic approach to the topic of global feminist history to provide a unified vision that maintains appropriate nuance. . . . It's masterful."

"Magisterial. . . . Brilliantly surveys three centuries of activism across multiple continents."

"Delap offers a new and wide-ranging account of the global history of feminisms, drawing on an innovative range of sources to explore the rich, diverse and radical roots of feminist movements across time and space. Addressing the powerful contributions of feminisms while also examining their limitations, exclusions, and complicities, this book is a triumph of feminist historiography that shows the innumerable different ways of imagining women’s freedom around the world. . . . We are taken on a journey that includes figures and events that would not have been classified as feminist at the time of their occurrence, stretching from colonial West Africa to Imperial Japan, and through an innovative use of source material ranging from political pamphlets to zines and songs. . . . In its interconnected narrative, [her book is] a powerful political argument about what feminism is (or should be). And indeed, as her title reminds us, feminism has never just been one thing. There were, and remain, innumerable different ways of imagining women’s freedom around the world. Far too many to be reduced to a slogan on a t-shirt."

"The big, global story of the many feminisms on our planet today. . . . This is a fantastic book [that] everyone should go check out. . . . Even feminists I know who have been studying feminism for a very long time would get a lot out of this book. This really is an incredible work."

"Delap recognizes the feminists who were lost in the relaying of the history of the women’s movement or who were prevented from joining it in the first place. . . . Feminisms provides insight into the concept itself and provides the opportunity to address the complexity of the feminist movement, the fragmentation within feminism attributable to its visibly western-centric perspective, and the experiences of forgotten and ignored feminists. The book adds to the discourse on social construction and highlights the significance of inclusion and the corresponding bias that results with the adoption of a single perspective. Outside of the discussion of feminism, Delap’s thematic approach is a reminder that there are more voices than the ones being heard; this is a lesson in itself."

"A sweeping challenge to feminist histories . . . . It provides a nuanced account that recognizes feminism's deep fragmentations as well as its racial, gendered, and classed hierarchies. . . . The book's main contribution to critical global and transnational feminist histories is that it unearths patterns of feminism in creative, often unexpected ways. . . . Feminisms successfully disrupts the existing historiography. Ultimately, Delap's thematic, non-chronological approach to feminisms opens up creative new starting points for further research and exploration."

"A truly global history, dealing with 250 years of feminisms. . . . This path-breaking book is an essential read. . . . Delap's understanding of feminisms around the world offers fascinating insights, based on innovative sources, establishing this volume as a landmark work in the current historiography, and one that is both accessible to the experts in the field and inspiring for a broader audience."

“An impressive attempt to dissect the complexity of feminist pasts.”
 

"This is an extraordinary and beautiful history of the global struggles against the injustices of gender. It brings the battles of feminists to life, not only through their ideas and campaigns, but also their dreams, songs, anger, and the material dimensions of their activism—their bloomers, badges, and veils, their refuges, workplaces, and borderlands."

"Delap wields the concept of feminism to show how activists 'politicize the injustices of gender' across 250 years and six continents. Attentive to the blind spots and complicities of many feminist ventures, she also recognizes its affinities and resonance across generations, geographies, and genders. This brilliant book probes feminism's meanings and materializations through chapters on dreams, feelings, objects, and songs as well as ideas, looks, spaces, and actions."

“Delap provides a concise but thorough history of the variety of feminist movements that have formed over the last century, bringing a sense of shared vision and voice to a diverse history without forcing a false unity.”

"Delap's telling is unique amongst histories of feminism. As it tears across the globe, Feminisms reveals familiar organizations, projects, agitators, and obstacles in new garb and places them alongside ones conventionally overlooked. Start with any chapter and savor every generous, undogmatic page."

"A brilliant work of feminist scholarship that is global in scope, rigorous in analysis, and inviting in its storytelling."

"Lucy Delap’s Feminisms: A Global History offers an intriguing new approach to the study of feminist theories and practices by focusing its eight chapters on a series of topics that include dreams, ideas, spaces, objects, looks, feelings, actions, and songs. . . . Historians of any single national tradition are sure to learn from Delap’s examples of the work that feminism has done in so many other national traditions."

"This magnificent history widens the entire field of feminist studies and employs a uniquely creative format to do so. Lucy Delap, eager to overcome the exclusively white and Euro-American sources of previous accounts, has used persons and sources from throughout the world to narrate this saga. Employing a thematic approach rather than a chronological one, she is able to overcome the limitations and biases of past histories. This tactic also enables her to show the connections and influences among both disparate regions and time periods. She accurately surveys the last 250 years of women’s activism. Feminisms: A Global History successfully remakes an entire field of study."
