The Girl, the Scorpion, and the Doctor

Coleen the Question Girl

children68 - Sophie Heywood

By Kim Dhillon In the early 1970s, three independent feminist collectives were organized in the US with the purpose of writing, illustrating, publishing, and distributing non-sexist children’s books. Dissatisfied with the children’s literature on offer, and mobilized by the consciousness-raising of the Women’s Liberation Movement, these do-it-yourself styled collectives of feminist mothers wanted to broaden […]

By Rachel Rich Every cookbook tells a story about itself, and the imagined reader it addresses is the heroine of that story. In the nineteenth century, following recipes meant embarking on a quest for respectability, stability and family happiness.

The Stories in the Recipe Book

drbp - lisasmith

By Lisa Smith Some time ago, Carla Nappi posed an intriguing series of questions over at The Recipes Project : Reading through this text, I began to think deeply about these recipes as literary objects.

Le « culte du tablier » ou comment les femmes sont représentées dans les manuels scolaires

eduveille - Marie Gaussel

Nous avons vu dans notre dernier Dossier de veille (n°112, octobre 2016) comment les stéréotypes de genre étaient largement reproduits dans les manuels scolaires et les livres pour enfants. Un récent rapport d’Eurydice, en comparant deux études espagnole et polonaise, montre comment la femme, dans le peu d’illustrations les représentant, est toujours dépeinte portant un […]

Christian Liclair In a by now almost canonical proclamation, the art critic and AIDS activist Douglas Crimp demands the production of art works that have the potential to safe lives instead of purely aestheticizing the epidemic, the suffering and the dying of people with AIDS (PWA): „We don’t need to transcend the epidemic; we need […]

Recipes in Manuscript Miscellanies

recipes - Lisa Smith

By Eve Houghton As several scholars have noted, early modern recipes do not only appear in recipe books. Ink recipes in particular are a staple of the commonplace book, as Adam Smyth has pointed out; and as Alun Withey has written on this blog, “[i]t was not uncommon to put remedies within pages of miscellany, […]

Ideophones, expressiveness and grammatical integration

dlc - Mark Dingemanse

Ideophones —vivid sensory words found in many of the world’s languages— are often described as having little or no morphosyntax. That simple statement conceals an interesting puzzle. It is not often that we can define a word class across languages in terms of its syntax (or lack thereof). After all, most major types of word […]
