Cinema acts as a cultural product, a medium of expression and a source of popular entertainment; usually it appears to conscientiously genuflect to upper-caste dictums. Since its inception, Telugu cinema, or Tollywood, the third-largest film industry in India, has produced various caste-based films like Gudavalli Ramabrahmam’s Malapilla (1938), Kasinadhuni Vishwanath’s Kalam Marindhi (1972) and K.

our bodies, our choices: reproductive justice and social embodiment Feminist Review (IF 0.9) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 Charles Olney
Feminist scholars of reproductive justice argue for a broader model of politics organised around embodied experience. But to fully express the intersectional politics of reproductive justice, more attention must be given to the social function of embodiment—the ways that bodily markers create associative communities among strangers. This shared form of embodiment establishes connections that exceed

reclaiming misandry from misogynistic rhetoric Feminist Review (IF 0.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-09 Tris Hedges
In recent years, misogyny has become a central concept in philosophy as well as an established concept in public discourse and political policy. But where is misogyny’s supposed counterpart, namely, misandry? In this article, I argue for an ameliorative analysis of ‘misandry’, arguing that it can be reformulated in an effort to reclaim it from misogynistic weaponisation. The term ‘misandry’ is used

I explore how refusal is a promising frame through which to enact worlds that feminists want to live in, showing how everyday acts of refusal have the potential to bring alternative worlds into being. To make this

Feminist analysis of gendered subjects unlocks a myriad of interdisciplinary debates, encounters and tensions. Oceans as feminist subject are equally and simultaneously comforting and disconcerting.

Uncanny Waters Feminist Review (IF 0.9) Pub Date : 2022-04-04 Caroline Emily Rae
In this article, I argue for the notion of what I term ‘uncanny water’ as a conceptual tool for reading contemporary oceanic fictions. The uncanny’s affective capacity to destabilise epistemological and ontological certainties makes it a particularly potent literary tool for challenging the nature/culture binary. I argue that fictions which actively defamiliarise the ocean can be used to redress the

Afrikaner nationalism and the light side of the colonial/modern gender system: understanding white patriarchy as colonial race technology Feminist Review (IF 0.9) Pub Date : 2021-11-17 Azille Coetzee
There is a growing body of feminist scholarship and literature exploring the ways in which Western patriarchal technologies of gender differentiation and sexual violence structure the racial categorisation and dehumanisation that define South Africa’s history of slavery, colonialism and apartheid. In this article, I consider the gendered history of white Afrikaner nationalism in the context of these
