Enduring Violence

Enduring Violence

Rebecca Walker

Manchester University Press
2016
nidottu
Located in the war-torn eastern province of Sri Lanka, this book provides a rich ethnography of how Tamil-speaking communities in Batticaloa live through and make sense of a violence that shapes everyday life itself. The core of the book comes from the author’s two-year close interaction with a group of (mainly women) human rights activists in the area. The book describes how the activists work in clandestine, informal ways to support families whose loved ones have been threatened, disappeared or killed and how they build networks of trust within the context of everyday violence. As Sri Lanka faces up to the enormity of the task of ‘post-war reconciliation’, this book aims to create a wider conversation about grief, resistance and healing in the context of violence and its long afterlife.

The Sense of Fracture in Goliarda Sapienza and Elena Ferrante

The Sense of Fracture in Goliarda Sapienza and Elena Ferrante

Rebecca Walker

MODERN HUMANITIES RESEARCH ASSOCIATION
2025
sidottu
Italian writers Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996) and Elena Ferrante are increasingly celebrated for their vivid depictions of women's lives and identities in twentieth and twenty-first century society. In a detailed comparison of Sapienza's multi-volume Autobiography of Contradictions (1967-1987) and Ferrante's world-famous Neapolitan Novels (2011-2014), this study contributes new insights to the rich fields of scholarship on both writers. It shows how reading these writers in conversation reveals a sense of fracture in modern Italian women's writing which uses literary representations of fractured female bodies and identities to open up wider debates about selfhood, corporeality, and the ethics of human relationships. Defying stereotypical depictions of female fragility and irrationality, Ferrante and Sapienza's fragmented female voices make of the novel of fragmentation in the modern Italian context a robust ethical tool for uncovering oppression and violence and their effects, demonstrating how Italian women writers since the 1960s have offered challenging and nuanced depictions of human subjectivity and moral development.Rebecca Walker is Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellow at Trinity College Dublin.

Black White and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self

Black White and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self

Rebecca Walker

Penguin Publishing Group
2002
nidottu
The Civil Rights movement brought author Alice Walker and lawyer Mel Leventhal together, and in 1969 their daughter, Rebecca, was born. Some saw this unusual copper-colored girl as an outrage or an oddity; others viewed her as a symbol of harmony, a triumph of love over hate. But after her parents divorced, leaving her a lonely only child ferrying between two worlds that only seemed to grow further apart, Rebecca was no longer sure what she represented. In this book, Rebecca Leventhal Walker attempts to define herself as a soul instead of a symbol&#151and offers a new look at the challenge of personal identity, in a story at once strikingly unique and truly universal.

Lesbian. Lover. Lunatic. These are just some of the words usually used to describe Ann Walker, the oft overlooked wife of Anne Lister, better known by some as Gentleman Jack. Ann was one half of England's first same-sex marriage and yet the rainbow plaque that marks their historic union on the wall of the Holy Trinity Church, York, features Ann's name in a font only half the size of her wife's. Her story has been long forgotten. Born into wealth and privilege Ann was one of the most eligible heiresses in 19th century Yorkshire and the question on everyone's lips in 1830's Halifax was why a respectable young heiress, with property, fortune and connection risked everything, even her freedom, to become entangled with the notorious Gentleman Jack? The answer to this question reveals a woman of immense courage, faith, and determination, but her voice has remained silent .until now. Within the depths of Ann's diary - discovered by Diane Halford in 2020 - the answers to some of the above questions can be found, as can insight into Ann as an independent woman. The life of Ann is worthy of its own narrative and it is time for Ann to step out of the shadow of Gentleman Jack and tell her own story.

Of Mice and Primates

Of Mice and Primates

Rebecca L. Walker

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2025
sidottu
The ethics of research on animals has historically been viewed through the lens of cost vs benefit, and whether animals have rights. Is the suffering that might be experienced by animals-and the violation of their rights, if they are seen to have any-worth the gain in scientific knowledge? Many experiments that have caused great animal suffering were ethically justified in this way. Rebecca Walker here argues against this paradigm, and advocates instead for a virtue ethics approach. She argues that what is missing from the traditional approach to animal research are issues of character, context, and relationships. What is problematic in much research on animals is less a violation of rights than a lack of care for the vulnerable; and that most philosophical approaches to animal research ignore the actual practice of that research. Different ethical questions thus arise when viewed through this lens, such as: does a researcher who develops relationships with her animal subjects owe them a greater duty of care? What is the moral significance of the psychological effects on the researcher of doing that research? Can, or should, a rhesus monkey, for example, used for research live a good life when it is housed in a research facility? Of Mice and Primates addresses these and other questions by reorienting our moral concern about animal research, and offers a moral theory focused on what actually happens in research settings.
