Sommario/riassunto |
|
Caribbean literature maintains a dual relationship with the culture of the former colonizers, hesitating between resistance and imitation, deterritorialization and reterritorialization, alienation and reinvention. Jamaica Kincaid’s connection with her literary and historical heritage is a dynamic one. Her writing is postcolonial in the political more than the historical sense. Like Kincaid herself, the characters explore the boundaries between filiation and affiliation, adopting strategies of reappropriation to respond to their alienation in their relationships with their mothers. Their reclaiming of their bodies leads to self-reinvention, and to the reappropriation of history and space. Kincaid herself searches for an artistic space in which to reinvent herself. She combines photography, painting, and gardening with writing, adopting different strategies for reappropriating and decolonizing language. She writes in the oppressor’s tongue and subverts it, combining different voices in the space of her texts. L’écriture caribéenne entretient un double rapport avec la culture des anciens colons, oscillant entre résistance et imitation, déterritorialisation et reterritorialisation, aliénation et réinvention. Jamaica Kincaid est dans une relation dynamique avec son héritage littéraire et historique. Son écriture se veut postcoloniale au sens politique plus qu’historique du terme. À l’instar de Kincaid elle-même, les personnages kincaidiens explorent les limites entre filiation et affiliation : face à l’aliénation de la jeune fille dans la relation à sa mère, elle met en place des stratégies de réappropriation. Réappropriation du corps, qui mène à la réinvention du moi, mais aussi réappropriation de l’histoire et de l’espace. Kincaid est elle-même à la recherche d’un espace artistique dans lequel se réinventer : photographie, peinture et jardinage se mêlent ainsi à son écriture, et s’ajoutent à diverses stratégies de réappropriation et de décolonisation de la langue.… |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The percentage of women applying for engineering licensure remains well below the percentage of women enrolling in engineering undergraduate programs--an issue of retention that continues throughout women engineers' career trajectories. Although there have been many efforts on the recruitment side to attract people of varying |

genders to study engineering and join the profession, such efforts are ineffective if this diverse population is not retained in engineering. This book identifies the factors affecting the recruitment of women into, and the retention of women in the engineering profession. The authors examine the experience of male and female students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels to better understand women's experiences at each stage in their careers through to becoming industry members or academics. Issues such as intimidation and discouragement at the undergraduate level, disproportionate funding and support at a graduate student level, and the correlation between retention and opportunities for collaboration at an industry/academic level are discussed. The book concludes by highlighting the key findings affecting the retention of women in engineering and offers potential solutions. The findings covered in this book may be used by engineering postsecondary institutions and workplaces to create a more diverse and inclusive environment. This book is also useful to researchers, scholars, students, and academics interested in the retention of women in STEM industries. |
