Women and Knowledge in the Mediterranean - Routledge Advances in Mediterranean Studies
Women in the Mediterranean have helped constitute new meanings of knowledge whilst simultaneously providing a wealth of material that is now part of the knowledge archive of the area. The inception of types of knowledge that differ from the conventional necessitates a re-definition of the concept of ?knowledge,? an issue which is addressed in this volume.
Employing a range of theories and methodologies, this book explores four main domains in which women?s knowledge is attested: women and written knowledge; women and oral knowledge; women and legal, religious, and economic knowledge; and women and media knowledge. By presenting untapped women?s expressions of knowledge in these domains, this book opens new avenues of research in fields such as sociology, history and literature, amongst others.
This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the Middle East, Women and Gender studies and Mediterranean Studies.
