A FILOSOFIA E AS MULHERES

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um estudo sobre a questão da liberdade das mulheres e as limitações que sofriam e sofrem por diversas questões relacionadas à determinação de papéis sociais para os gêneros. Nossa fundamentação teórica principal é a obra de Elisabeth Badinter, especialmente Emilie, Emilie:a ambição feminina no século XVIII(2003). Badinter pesquisou e reflete sobre as restrições sociais que as mulheres sofriam no século XVIII. A consequência deste processo é que a iniciativa de se tornarem cientistas, escritoras, diplomatas, magistradas e outras funções similares, eram consideradas ruins para a sociedade, uma vez que a ambição feminina, causaria desordem na sociedade, por não condizer com a natureza das mulheres. Além disso, este trabalho analisa também artigos sobre a participação das mulheres nos programas de pós-graduação em Filosofia no Brasil que apresentam a redução da proporção de mulheres na medida em que se aumenta o grau de especialidade das pesquisas.

Our main theoretical foundation is the work of Elisabeth Badinter, especially Emilie, Emilie: the female ambition in the 18th century (2003). Badinter researched and reflected on the social restrictions that women suffered in the 18th century.

In addition, this work also studies articles on the participation of women in postgraduate programs in Philosophy in Brazil which show a reduction in the proportion of women as the degree of research expertise increases.

Gender, Authority, and Control: Male Invective and the Restriction of Female Ambition in Early Modern Scotland and England, 1583–1616

Sixteenth-century discourse is filled with criticisms about the ambition of women and the proletariat. This article explores the connection between gender, ambition, authority, reputation, and the language of condemnation at the Jacobean court. It argues that the prevailing rhetoric vilifying female ambition reflects contemporaneous anxieties about female dominance and authority. In turn, male invective, libel, and slander, directed toward politically active elite women, represent men’s attempts to re-exert their authority over women perceived to be subverting established hierarchies of power. By tracing the use of invective in letters, court poetry, and moral essays, this paper reveals the ways in which abusive language was used to damage women’s reputations in order to establish and maintain male authority over women and other men in the court of James VI/I.
