"Graphotype" is a word in ENGLISH
A process for producing a design upon a surface in
relief so that it can be printed from. Prepared chalk or oxide of zinc
is pressed upon a smooth plate by a hydraulic press, and the design is
drawn upon this in a peculiar ink which hardens the surface wherever it
is applied. The surface is then carefully rubbed or brushed, leaving
the lines in relief.
When, as happened recently in France, an attempt is made to coerce women out of the burqa rather than creating a situation in which a woman can choose what she wishes to do, it’s not about liberating her, but about unclothing her. It becomes an act of humiliation and cultural imperialism. It’s not about the burqa. It’s about the coercion. Coercing a woman out of a burqa is as bad as coercing her into one. Viewing gender in this way, shorn of social, political and economic context, makes it an issue of identity, a battle of props and costumes. It is what allowed the US government to use western feminist groups as moral cover when it invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Afghan women were (and are) in terrible trouble under the Taliban. But dropping daisy-cutters on them was not going to solve their problems.
