The Disembodied Text --Bibliography --Index --BackmatterSelected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for 1999Karma Lochrie demonstrates that women were associated not with the body but rather with the flesh, that disruptive aspect of body and soul which Augustine claimed was fissured with the Fall of Man. It is within this framework that she reads The Book of Margery Kempe, demonstrating the ways in which Kempe exploited the gendered ideologies of flesh and text through her controversial practices of writing, her inappropriate-seeming laughter, and the most notorious aspect of her mysticism, her "hysterical" weeping expressions of religious desire. Lochrie challenges prevailing scholarly assumptions of Kempe's illiteracy, her role in the writing of her book, her misunderstanding of mystical concepts, and the failure of her book to influence a reading community. In her work and her life, Kempe consistently crossed the barriers of those cultural taboos designed to exclude and silence her. Instead of viewing Kempe as marginal to the great mystical and literary traditions of the late Middle Ages, this study takes her seriously as a woman responding to the cultural constraints and exclusions of her time. Margery Kempe and Translations of the Flesh will be of interest to students and scholars of medieval studies, intellectual history, and feminist theory.Christian literature, English (Middle)History and criticismMysticismEnglandHistoryMiddle Ages, 600-1500Christian womenReligious lifeEnglandHistoryWomen and literatureEnglandHistoryTo 1500Flesh (Theology) in literatureElectronic books.Christian literature, English (Middle)History and criticism.MysticismHistoryChristian womenReligious lifeHistory.Women and literatureHistoryFlesh (Theology) in literature.248.2/2/092BLochrie Karma883021MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454945303321Margery Kempe and translations of the flesh2476014UNINA03570nam 2200697Ia 450 991078983980332120230427231250.01-283-05435-397866130543570-7748-1933-210.59962/9780774819336(CKB)2670000000080366(OCoLC)712855645(CaPaEBR)ebrary10462298(SSID)ssj0000535403(PQKBManifestationID)11332249(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000535403(PQKBWorkID)10522134(PQKB)11633506(CaBNVSL)slc00226719(CEL)436503(MiAaPQ)EBC3412675(Au-PeEL)EBL3412675(CaPaEBR)ebr10459088(CaONFJC)MIL305435(OCoLC)923448060(DE-B1597)662078(DE-B1597)9780774819336(EXLCZ)99267000000008036620101215h20112011 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierContesting white supremacy school segregation, anti-racism, and the making of Chinese Canadians /Timothy J.

Employing an innovative theory of racism and anti-racism to explain the strike and document its antecedents, Timothy Stanley demonstrates that by the 1920s migrants from China and their BC-born children actively resisted policy makers' efforts to organize white supremacy into the very texture of life. The education system in particular served as an arena where white supremacy confronted Chinese nationalist schooling and where parents and students rejected the idea of being either Chinese or Canadian and instead invented a new category - Chinese Canadian - to define their identity."--pub. desc.ChineseCanadaBritish ColumbiaSocial conditionsChineseEducationBritish ColumbiaHistoryRacismBritish ColumbiaStudent strikesBritish ColumbiaHistoryBritish ColumbiaRace relationsChineseSocial conditions.ChineseEducationHistory.RacismStudent strikesHistory.971.1/004951Stanley Timothy James1576011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789839803321Contesting white supremacy3853468UNINA
