Hermeneutics & Honor – Negotiating Female "Public" Space in Islamic/Ate Societies (Harvard Middle Eastern Monographs, 32) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Women's traversal of public space in Islamic/ate societies and the ensuing process of negotiating gendered identities are the central concerns of this collection of essays. The dichotomy between private and public spheres, upheld as axiomatic for most societies, has recently been challenged by scholars as an artificial construct. For women in particular, the demarcation between the two spheres has become blurred by the enormous public consequences of their private behaviour. Elaborate cultural codes of honour and traditional, masculinist interpretations of scripture have reinforced the public-private polarity and restricted Muslim women's access to the public realm as conventionally defined. The distinguished contributors to this volume provide insight into how women from different social strata and historical periods in various Islamic/ate societies have creatively engaged with these limitations upon their behaviour.

Críticas
The engaging and clearly written articles in this volume examine the ways in which women assert their presence in public space in a number of Muslim societies. Essays consider how conceptions of honor intersect with notions of personhood and citizenship, particularly under conditions of political transformation when women attempt to open up spaces of resistance and self-empowerment...What distinguishes this small jewel of a collection from many others on women in the Muslim world is the cutting-edge nature of the issues it addresses and the clarity of language and presentation. Of particular note is the lucid and well-researched introduction that situates the articles within recent theoretical debates.--J. B. White "Choice "
