Real Women Run Running as Feminist Embodiment

Real Women Run Running as Feminist Embodiment

Real Women Run is an innovative feminist ethnography that consists of a series of linked essays and presentations about women who run at the intersections of queer feminist and running identities. Faulkner uses feminist grounded theory poetic inquiry and qualitative content analysis to examine women’s embodied stories of running: how they run how running fits into the context of their lives and relationships how they enact or challenge cultural scripts of women’s activities and normative running bodies and what running means for their lives and identities. During a two-and-a-half-year ethnography with women who run Faulkner engaged in an intersectional qualitative content analysis of websites and blogs targeted to women runners a grounded theory poetic analysis of 41 interviews with women who run and participant observation at road races. Real Women Run speaks to the call for a more physical feminism. This ethnography sees women’s physical and mental strength developed through running as a way to embrace the contradictions between a deconstructed focus on the mind/body split and the focus on individuals’ actual material bodies and their everyday interactions with their bodies and through their bodies with the world around them. | Real Women Run Running as Feminist Embodiment

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.
