Without a Word: Teaching Beyond Women's SilenceTaylor & Francis, 2024 M10 31 - 222 páginas The question of women’s silence within academic settings has received a great deal of attention. And much feminist educational scholarship has devoted itself to creating spaces where women’s stories and experiences can be told. Without a Word (first published in 1993) raises the question of women’s silence from a radical new perspective, lending at long last a theoretical basis and sophistication to this important issue. The author considers the subject of silence from a variety of conceptual and practical perspectives. When does silene occur among women? How does it emerge? What are its complex origins? What are its devastating effects? Lewis also discusses the different types of silence: the one which is an expression of a woman’s oppression and the one which is her act of revolt. Actual classroom interactions, student experiences, literary and filmic depictions of women, and her own personal voice are the material from which Lewis crafts her powerful theory. Intended to offer an understanding of the subject which can help feminists and teachers struggling to change the nature and dynamics of classroom experience for all students, Without a Word dramatizes the issue of silence in a way that moves beyond the mere need for women to speak and be heard. This book is a must read for students and researchers of education, feminist studies, women studies, and sociology. |
