Описание: This book explores the meanings and practices of vintage lives. It focuses on the non-mainstream subculture of vintage clothes and lifestyle, specifically that of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and asks how those engaged in the culture place themselves within the gendered and classed contexts of these eras. As a result, it also identifies the tensions involved in these identities connected to a past that offered little gain for women and narrow gender roles for both women and men. Modern Vintage Homes & Leisure Lives is based on original empirical international data about a group of people who wear vintage clothing all of the time and whose homes are styled entirely, or almost entirely, vintage. It aims to understand the meanings of vintage for them through their daily practices and accrued knowledge. Through interviews and direct observations of vintage events it also explores questions about the acquisition, display and curation of vintage clothes, homes and objects, about glamour and wardrobes, about the history of second-hand markets, and emotional durability and ideas about ghosts, hauntings and spectral remains. It will be of particular interest to students and academics of gender and women’s studies, fashion and design, fashion history, cultural studies, the body and embodiment.
Описание: Domestic Workers in Indonesia uncovers the story of a movement for domestic worker rights that has campaigned for a national domestic workers law since 2004. Interweaving theoretical insights with evocative portrayals of individual lives and exceptional events, Mary Austin demonstrates how a feminist-inspired alliance engendered a nascent Indonesian domestic worker class. Shifting scholarly focus from overseas domestic workers to the five million employed in Indonesian homes, Austin follows the movement from its beginnings in the student protests and feminist activism of the 1980s and 1990s to its lobbying, costumed street protests, collaboration with unions, and NGO networking in the 2000s. After exploring the contribution of advocacy journalism and feminist knowledge production to the tasks of dismantling stereotypes, demolishing myths, and questioning the publicprivate divide, the book ends with the movements embrace of digital activism. Press coverage, first-hand accounts, observations, and dozens of interviews evidence the reluctance of employers to countenance change, the procrastinations and broken promises of politicians, and the creative responses of domestic workers determined to have their voices heard. The book takes the reader into spaces ranging from the neighbourhood meeting-house and domestic worker schoolroom to the smart hotels used for transnational organising and the committee rooms of Indonesias parliament. Informed by the authors experience of living in Indonesia in the 1980s, the narrative provides insights into the processes of participation, performance, and fashioning that opened up new identities for former helpers as independent workers and activist citizens. This first full-length study of domestic worker organizing in Indonesia will appeal to scholars, activists, and policy makers concerned with the future for transformative feminist, labour, and social activism in Indonesia and beyond.

Описание: Originally a concern primarily of social studies and economics, poverty has emerged as a significant thematic focus and analytical tool in literary and cultural studies in the last two decades. The "new poverty studies" are dedicated to analyzing representations of poverty and the poor in literature and the visual arts, in the news media and in social practices. They aim at exploring the frameworks of representation that impact the affective and ethical responses of audiences to disenfranchised groups such as the poor. The contributions to this volume focus on representations of poverty in the Anglophone postcolonial world, exploring, for example, contemporary discourses on poverty in the UK, filmic representations of Nairobi slums or the agency of the poor in literature from India.
