    The ancient city of Palmyra, which today lies in the desert of modern Syria, was once a flourishing city of trade. During the Roman era, when Palmyra was at the height of its powers, several hundred funerary monuments were constructed in the city, and within these, portraits of Palmyra's inhabitants were once displayed. These representations of men, women, and children from the Roman Imperial period form the largest body of portraiture known outside of Rome itself, and their study is essential to our understanding of how funerary portraiture in the Roman provinces was used as a mechanism to shape and express identity. This volume offers a study and catalogue of the funerary portraits of Palmyrene women from the first century BC to the third century AD. It explores both the visual qualities of the portraits themselves, and the complexities of the space in which they were originally situated. By analysing the civic and religious activities of women within Palmyra, this book also situates these portraits in a broader context. Through this approach, the work thus addresses key questions concerning the characteristics of Palmyrene female portraits and what this indicates about the nature of female identity in Roman Palmyra, how the portrayals of women changed over time, and what might have caused such changes.

    Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund des Doing Gender, des Uses-and-Gratifications-Approaches und der Agenda-Setting-Hypothese mit der Frage, wie Frauen in der Printberichterstattung österreichischer Qualitätsmedien dargestellt werden. Wie werden Frauen in diesem Kontext abgebildet? Wie stark werden äußerliche oder vermeintlich typische Eigenschaften von Frauen thematisiert? Gibt es Rollen, die Frauen in diesem Zusammenhang in der Berichterstattung zugewiesen werden? Im Theorieteil werden die eingangs erwähnten Theorien dargestellt und der aktuelle Forschungsstand zum Thema dargelegt. Im empirischen Teil dieser Arbeit wird dieser Frage im Rahmen der Grounded Theory nachgegangen. Mit dieser werden Printartikel auf die genannten Fragestellungen hin untersucht.

    ger: In dieser Arbeit werden persönliche Auseinandersetzungen mit Wut zu einer Fragestellung hinsichtlich der Bewertung weiblichen Zorns diskutiert. Im Zuge dessen werden Konzepte von fürchterlicher Weiblichkeit behandelt. Die Rachegöttinnen Erinnyen werden aus dieser Perspektive in Kult, Mythologie und Darstellungen im griechischen Drama und der bildenden Kunst untersucht. Die Bedeutung dieser mythologischen Figuren wird hinsichtlich ihrer Rolle im gesellschaftlichen Wandel in der Antike aufgearbeitet. Gesellschaftliche Interpretationen von Unrechtsbewusstsein und weiblicher Wut werden anhand eines erweiterten Fluchbegriffs und verschiedener Lesarten des Mythos vom Matriarchat reflektiert. Die Funktion der Erinnyen als Gewissen der Gesellschaft wird beschrieben um damit verbundene Diffamierungen weiblichen Widerstands offen zu legen. Die dargelegten Konstruktionen abstoßender Weiblichkeit und ihre Darstellungsweisen werden mit Jordan Wolfsons Female Figure (2014) in Zusammenhang gestellt. (Autorenkurzreferat) eng: In this work personal issues of anger are being questioned and transformed in an argument about judging stereotypes of female rage. While debating this, concepts of dreadful femininity get reviewed. From this perspective the goddesses of revenge, the Erinyes, are examined in cult, mythology and representations in greek drama and the fine arts. The significance of these mythological figures is discussed in terms of their role in social change during the antiquity. Societal interpretations of injustice and female anger are reflected regarding an extended concept of curse and various readings of the myth of matriarchy. The function of the Erinyes as the conscience of society is described in order to disclose the associated defamation of female resistance. The constellations of terrible femininity and their depictions are being dealt with in reference to Jordan Wolfson's Female Figure (2014). (Autorenkurzreferat)

    Prostitute, adulteress, unmarried woman who engages in sexual relations, victim of seduction—the Victorian "fallen woman" represents a complex array of stigmatized conditions. Amanda Anderson here reconsiders the familiar figure of the fallen woman within the context of mid-Victorian debates over the nature of selfhood, gender, and agency. In richly textured readings of works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, among others, she argues that depictions of fallen women express profound cultural anxieties about the very possibility of self-control and traditional moral responsibility

    According to Laurie Langbauer, the notion of romance is vague precisely because it represents the chaotic negative space outside the novel that determines its form. Addressing questions of form, Langbauer reads novels that explore the interplay between the novel and romance: works by Charlotte Lennox, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and George Meredith. She considers key issues in feminist debate, in particular the relations of feminist to the poststructuralist theories of Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault. In highlighting questions of gender in this way, Women and Romance contributes to a major debate between skeptical and materialist points of view among poststructuralist critics

    Gendering the Master Narrative asks whether a female tradition of power might have existed distinct from the male one, and how such a tradition might have been transmitted. It describes women's progress toward power as a push-pull movement, showing how practices and institutions that ostensibly enabled women in the Middle Ages could sometimes erode their authority as well.This book provides a much-needed theoretical and historical reassessment of medieval women's power. It updates the conclusions from the editors' essential volume on that topic, Women and Power in the Middle Ages, which was published in 1988 and altered the prevailing view of female subservience by correcting the nearly ubiquitous equation of "power" with "public authority." Most scholars now accept a broader definition of power based on the interactions between men and women.In their Introduction, Mary C. Erler and Maryanne Kowaleski survey the directions in which the study of medieval women's agency has developed in the past fifteen years. Like its predecessor, this volume is richly interdisciplinary. It contains essays by highly regarded scholars of history, literature, and art history, and features seventeen black-and-white illustrations and two maps

    "Holy men despise women...and view them as foul and sticking dirt in the road," asserst the male author of the fifteenth-century Book to a Mother. Middle English devotional writings reflect shades of mysogony ranging from the blatant to the subtle, yet these texts were among the most popular literature know to the earliest generation of English women readers. In the first book to examine this paradox, Anne Clark Bartlett considers why medieval women enjoyed such male-authored works as Speculum Devotorum, The Tree, The Twelve Fruits of the Holy Ghost, and Contemplations on the Dread and Love of God. Demonstrating that these texts actually provided alternative-and more appealing-notions of gender than those authorized by the Church, Bartlett redefines women's participation in medieval culture in terms of far greater agency and empowerment than have generally been acknowledged

    In a study that explodes the assumption that early modern comic culture was created by men for men, Pamela Allen Brown shows that jest books, plays, and ballads represented women as laugh-getters and sought out the laughter of ordinary women. Disputing the claim that non-elite women had little access to popular culture because of their low literacy and social marginality, Brown demonstrates that women often bested all comers in the arenas of jesting, gaining a few heady moments of agency. Juxtaposing the literature of jest against court records, sermons, and conduct books, Brown employs a witty, entertaining style to propose that non-elite women used jests to test the limits of their subjection. She also shows how women's mocking laughter could function as a means of social control in closely watched neighborhoods. While official culture beatified the sheep-like wife and disciplined the scold, jesting culture often applauded the satiric shrew, whether her target was priest, cuckold, or rapist. Brown argues that listening for women's laughter can shed light on both the dramas of the street and those of the stage: plays from The Massacre of the Innocents to The Merry Wives of Windsor to The Woman's Prize taught audiences the importance of gossips' alliances as protection against slanderers, lechers, tyrants, and wife-beaters. Other jests, ballads, jigs, and plays show women reveling in tales of female roguery or scoffing at the perverse patience of Griselda. As Brown points out, some women found Griselda types annoying and even foolish: better be a shrew than a sheep
