From rodrigoborba at letras.ufrj.br Mon Jan 14 08:58:15 2019 From: rodrigoborba at letras.ufrj.br (Rodrigo Borba) Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 11:58:15 -0200 Subject: [Gala-l] Gender under attack in Latin America Message-ID: Dear colleagues, As some of you may already know, gender studies have been turned into an enemy of conversative governments in Latin America (and elsewhere such as Hungary). The alliance between the extreme-right and Evangelical churches has demonized gender and human rights. Here's a recent documentary that helps explain what is happening. I share this with you because I believe IGALA and its member need to be ready to counterattack this global trend. Here's the link to the documentary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOJTB57Cl9s (subtitles in English) in case you're interested.

I have published the latest (and my last) post on the IGALA blog, you can read it here: http://igalaweb.wixsite.com/igala/single-post/2019/01/22/IGALA-form-personal-to-community-perspectives . In the post you will find the responses we have received to a survey disseminated last summer. Thank you to those who sent their answers and helped to improve the IGALA community. I hope you do not mind if I do a bit of self-promotion too. My book "Gender, Ideology and Discourse in italian" was published last October and I would be delighted if anyone from the IGALA community would be interested in reviewing it. If you are interested, you can find more info on how to receive a book review copy hereç https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319965550 (or you can contact me!) The book deals with grammatical gender in Italian providing an overview of how it is (mis)used in relation to social gender. It also investigates language used by female politicians or employed to refer to them in newspapers. Chapter 5 is dedicated to the examination of language and violence against women in the media and in the Italian parliament. I wish all the best to the new Advisory Board and president elect Claire!
