Literature and film of the American West -- part II. Issues of the literature and film of the American West.The writers of these chapters are often working with changing assumptions about literary and media interpretations of an American West. Here we see critical approaches to a West that never was, a West of myth so enduring that the myth dominates nearly all artistic representation about this place that never was. In this collection, we see critical approaches to a New West, a West that is a state of mind, not a geographical place but a mythic space with no boundaries and no political inevitabilities. These New Western studies accept the idea of a West that includes Canada, Mexico, Alaska, and, in the case of the US, every geographic and historical point west of the historic founding settlements. The West we study today is a post-West, an idea of the West past the traditional views of an old West dominated by white US nationalism and gendered as uncompromisingly masculine. The idea itself of a single West no longer holds validity. We now understand that all renderings of the West are renderings of multiple Wests; Wests constructed by American nationalists, Wests constructed by EuroAmerican writers and filmmakers, Wests constructed by native peoples, or Wests constructed outside the geographical boundaries of the US. - - This collection presents an eclectic array of new scholarship ranging freely over the New Wests and Post Wests, dealing with issues such as the literature of a 1950's California West; eco-crime genre fiction; the West of Edward Dorn and the Beat Movement; images of prostitution in California Gold Rush literature; European perspectives on film representations of the first peoples; the six shooter and the American West; German Westerns and Italian Westerns; The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones, by Charles Neider; and films such as The Treasure of Sierra Madre, Into the Wild, There Will Be Blood, and The Last Picture Show. - - A unique aspect of this collection is the range of writers interpreting the American West in film and literature; besides those writing from within the United States, five of the writers provide international perspectives from the United Kingdom, and the Universities of Tunis, Vienna, and Rome. - - Each chapter includes a review of scholarship on its subject and an extended bibliography for further research. -LiteratureHistory and criticismMotion picturesWest (U.S.)HistoryElectronic books.LiteratureHistory and criticism.Motion picturesHistory.288Varner Paul929043MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453146903321New Wests and post-Wests2447286UNINA04450nam 2200769 450 991078051500332120230912140426.01-4426-8361-997866120032331-282-00323-210.3138/9781442683617(CKB)2430000000000780(EBL)3254801(OCoLC)923068270(SSID)ssj0000313540(PQKBManifestationID)11925286(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000313540(PQKBWorkID)10367032(PQKB)11390965(CaBNvSL)thg00600121(DE-B1597)465132(OCoLC)1004872610(OCoLC)944177158(DE-B1597)9781442683617(Au-PeEL)EBL4672268(CaPaEBR)ebr11257942(OCoLC)958562733(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/jxfqg2(schport)gibson_crkn/2009-12-01/6/418261(MiAaPQ)EBC4672268(OCoLC)815763530(MdBmJHUP)musev2_105550(MiAaPQ)EBC3254801(EXLCZ)99243000000000078020160922h20022002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierWomen's legal strategies in Canada /editor, Radha JhappanToronto ;Buffalo, [New York] ;London :University of Toronto Press,2002.©20021 online resource (418 pages)Description based upon print version of record.0-8020-7667-X 0-8020-0721-X Includes bibliographical references.Introduction : why do law? -- Introduction : feminist adventures in law / Radha Jhappan -- Feminist movement in law : beyond privileged and privileging theory / Sheila McIntyre -- Equality strategies -- Women's (in)equality before and after the charter / Diana Majury -- Towards a democratic practice of feminist litigation? : LEAF's changing approach to Charter equality / Lise Gotell -- The equality pit or the rehabilitation of justice? / Radha Jhappan -- Race and citizenship -- Negotiating the citizenship divide: foreign domestic worker policy and legal jurisprudence / Daiva Stasiulis and Abigail B.

Martin -- Legal as political strategies in the Canadian women's movement : who's speaking? who's listening? / Susan Philips.Have Canadian women gained from their pursuit of legal remedies to social, political, economic, and cultural inequalities? Is law a fruitful avenue for such struggles? Using liberal feminist, postmodern, critical, race, and queer theory, these essays confront the anti-rights critiques of the legal Left regarding the use of law in general and the Charter in particular. Several chapters explicitly examine the strategic limits and possibilities of the substantive equality rights approaches pursued by LEAF (The Women's Legal Education and Action Fund). Others focus on legal strategies mobilized in discreet areas of law and public policy by foreign domestic workers and racialized women, lesbians, women seeking reproductive freedom, women in the childcare movement, and anti-violence advocates. Recognizing the diversity of women across class, citizenship, race and ethnicity, sexual identity, culture, and (dis)ability, this collection evaluates the efficacy of the wide range of legal and political strategies women have employed, particularly in this post-Charter era. Women's Legal Strategies in Canada is the most comprehensive account of these important issues and will surely become the standard work in the field.WomenLegal status, laws, etcCanadaWomen's rightsCanadaFeminist jurisprudenceCanadaCanadafastElectronic books.
