Practising Femininity analyses the ways that Canadian texts by Catharine Parr Traill, Susanna Moodie, Nellie McClung, Sinclair Ross, and others work to produce and naturalize femininity in a colonial setting. Drawing on Judith Butler's definition of gender as performance, Misao Dean shows how practices that seem to transgress the feminine ideal -- emigration, physical labour, autobiographical writing, work for wages, sexual desire, and suffrage activism -- were justified by Canadian writers as legitimate expressions of an unvarying feminine inner self. Early Canadian writers cited a feminine gender ideal that emphasized love of home and adherence to duty; New Women and Suffrage writers defined sexuality as part of a biological desire to reproduce; in the work of Sinclair Ross, the feminine ideal was moulded by current Freudian models of femininity. This study is grounded in the most important current theories in gender, and will interest Canadian literary scholars, feminist historians and theoreticians, and students of women's studies. 410 0$aTheory/culture series. 606 $aCanadian fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDomestic fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zCanada 606 $aFemininity in literature 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aRealism in literature 607 $aEnglisch$2swd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadian fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDomestic fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aFemininity in literature. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aRealism in literature. 676 $a813.009/352042 700 $aDean$b Misao$0473368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780566003321 996 $aPractising femininity$93787624 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04686nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910779339103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-85128-8 010 $a1-4008-4594-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400845941 035 $a(CKB)2550000000709100 035 $a(EBL)1062357 035 $a(OCoLC)823283891 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000784888 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11438754 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000784888 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10783502 035 $a(PQKB)10303046 035 $a(DE-B1597)447213 035 $a(OCoLC)979742294 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400845941 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1062357 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10631229 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL416378 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1062357 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000709100 100 $a20061218d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe geometry and topology of coxeter groups$b[electronic resource] /$fMichael W.

Groups generated by reflections are ubiquitous in mathematics, and there are classical examples of reflection groups in spherical, Euclidean, and hyperbolic geometry. Any Coxeter group can be realized as a group generated by reflection on a certain contractible cell complex, and this complex is the principal subject of this book. The book explains a theorem of Moussong that demonstrates that a polyhedral metric on this cell complex is nonpositively curved, meaning that Coxeter groups are "CAT(0) groups." The book describes the reflection group trick, one of the most potent sources of examples of aspherical manifolds. And the book discusses many important topics in geometric group theory and topology, including Hopf's theory of ends; contractible manifolds and homology spheres; the Poincaré Conjecture; and Gromov's theory of CAT(0) spaces and groups. Finally, the book examines connections between Coxeter groups and some of topology's most famous open problems concerning aspherical manifolds, such as the Euler Characteristic Conjecture and the Borel and Singer conjectures. 410 0$aLondon Mathematical Society monographs. 606 $aCoxeter groups 606 $aGeometric group theory 615 0$aCoxeter groups. 615 0$aGeometric group theory. 676 $a512/.2 686 $aSK 260$2rvk 700 $aDavis$b Michael$f1949 Apr. 26-$01499782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779339103321 996 $aThe geometry and topology of coxeter groups$93726146 997 $aUNINA
