Resumo(s)
This essay intends to discuss some critical readings of fictional and theoretical
texts on gender condition in Southeast Asian countries. Nowadays, many texts about
women in Southeast Asia apply concepts of power in unusual areas. Traditional forms
of gender hegemony have been replaced by other powerful, if somewhat more covert,
forms. We will discuss some universal values concerning conventional female roles as
well as the strategies used to recognize women in political fields traditionally
characterized by male dominance. Female empowerment will mean different things at
different times in history, as a result of culture, local geography and individual
circumstances. Empowerment needs to be perceived as an individual attitude, but it also
has to be facilitated at the macrolevel by society and the State. Gender is very much at
the heart of all these dynamics, strongly related to specificities of historical, cultural,
ethnic and class situatedness, requiring an interdisciplinary transnational approach.
