new book: Gender Practices in Contemporary Vietnam
by Lisa Drummond and Helle Rydstrom
How do Vietnamese display their social position and their identitiies as male or female? This volume looks at the transgressions and negotiations within particular spaces and places in Vietnamese society. Examined through an exploration of family, social and work relations, gender is conceived here as a process of crafting oneself through the social practices of daily life. The essays reflect a broad range of scholarly traditions and viewpoints (American, American-Vietnamese, Australian, Canadian, Scandinavian and Vietnamese) and analytical perspectives as diverse as those offered by Simone de Beauvoir and the second wave of western feminism. Each essay demonstrates a clear connection between physical spaces and configurations of femininity and masculinity in terms of bodily displays, body language and occupation of space. Lisa Drummond is Assistant Professor of urban studies at York University in Toronto Canada. Helle Rystrom is a research fellow at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University, Sweden. publication year: 2004 316 pages ISBN: 9971-69-306-2 Hardback US$35.00 S$55.00 ISBN: 9971-69-282-1 Paperback US$28.00 S$42.00 joint imprint with NIAS Press |
