Essäskrivandet var ett uttryckssätt som för Virginia Woolf gick hand i hand med romanskrivandet. I Böcker presenteras ett urval av hennes texter och essäer om skrivandet och dess förutsättningar. Med skarp blick för varje tids författarvillkor, framför allt kvinnornas, gör Woolf lätt och ledigt all litteratur till samtida, till angelägna vittnesmål om den mänskliga existensen och till tecken på att orden är våra bästa verktyg för att förstå världen. Böcker är den tredje volymen i förlagets utgivning av Virginia Woolfs essäer. Urval av Jonas Ellerström, Elisabeth Mansén och Maria Green, som också står för förord och kommentarer.

Music and Gender
Although scholars have long been aware of the crucial roles that gender plays in music, and vice versa, the contributors to this volume are among the first to systematically examine the interactions between the two. This book is also the first to explore the diverse, yet often strikingly similar, musics of the areas bordering the Mediterranean from comparative anthropological perspectives. From Spanish flamenco to Algerian rai, Greek rebetika to Turkish pop music, Sephardi and Berber songs to Egyptian belly dancers, the contributors cover an exceedingly wide range of geographic and musical territories. Individual essays examine musical behavior as representation, assertion and sometimes transgression of gender identities; compare men's and women's roles in specific musical practices and their historical evolution; and explore how music and gender relate to such issues as ethnicity, nationality and religion. Anyone studying the musics or culture of the Mediterranean, or more generally

Stigar Och Vägskäl - Kultur I Närmiljö
Det har kanske aldrig skrivits en sådan memoarbok som mindre handlat om skribenten själv, och mer om kringvärlden: de andra människorna, sederna, arbetet, det sociala livet. I denna bildrika, traditionsrika, faktarika och kulturrika bok möter läsaren ett då och ett nu, i hård verklighet men med återspegling i många dikter. Språk, skola, slitsamt arbete, religiositet/gudsfruktan, hantverk och hemslöjd, hästar, kor, hundar läsaren blickar ner i en värld som fanns och som det fortfarande finns spår av. I det lilla speglas det stora. Gunnar Arnborg, bosatt i Gråbo i Västergötland, är legendarisk folkhögskolelärare, hedersdoktor och författare till en rad älskade och uppmärksammade böcker om bondekultur och odlingslandskap, som Blommor i bondebygd, Eneboken, Mulens marker, Stenmuren och Folk och potatis.

Catherine Opie: Genre / Gender / Portraiture
Nearly four decades of work from the photographer who redefined the expression of gender in contemporary queer portraiture A leading voice in contemporary photography, Catherine Opie has been known for her portraits of the queer scene in California since the late 1980s. A fundamental element of Opie’s work is the observation of different gender performances through a critical revision of the genre of portraiture. Her photography emphasizes how portraiture has the power to both reinforce and deconstruct conventional and binary expressions of gender. The title of this publication and the MASP exhibition it accompanies is based on the double meaning of the word gênero in Portuguese, meaning both “gender” and “genre.” For her first solo show in Brazil, Opie enters into dialogue with the tradition of the portrait—a way of representing the human figure that dates to the 15th century in the West—producing an archive of diverse presentations of gender and sexuality. Around 60 photographs from
