Diferencia entre revisiones de «Mano segura»

'''Mano segura''' es un término [[Roshar]]iano para referirse a la mano izquierda de una mujer. Según la tradición cultural [[Vorinismo|vorin]], es impropio de una mujer dejar su mano izquierda al descubierto.{{wob ref|12977}} La mano derecha de una mujer es referida habitualmente como '''mano libre'''.{{book ref|sa1|3}}

 

La visión moderna sobre la mano segura deriva del antiguo libro ''[[Arts and Majesty]]'', which claimed that "true" feminine pursuits and arts were the ones that could be performed with one hand, while "manly" arts were the ones performed with two hands, thus tying delicacy with women and brute force with men.{{wob ref|4447}}

 

 

Covering the left hand is not thought of as a major inconvenience among Alethi and Veden nobility, since [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] women are able to pursue one-handed hobbies such as painting and writing.{{wob ref|4447}} Among the upper class, the most common method of covering the safehand is by wearing a [[havah]], a traditional dress that includes an oversized sleeve that loosely covers the left hand.{{book ref|sa1|3}} The fabric used to make havahs is thin enough that the safehand can still be used to grip things.{{book ref|sa4|69}} The sleeve often has a compartment or button where a "safepouch" that holds personal objects can be placed. The pouch may hold objects as large as a notebook, and can usually be transferred between different garments.{{book ref|sa4|8}}{{book ref|sa1|48}} It is considered extremely rude to open another woman's safepouch.{{book ref|sa1|39}} The sleeve typically has a button that can be opened if a woman is in a situation where she can reveal her safehand.{{book ref|sa4|19}} Havahs are particularly popular in Alethkar and Jah Keved, and new styles are often introduced in Roshar's fashion capitals of [[Liafor]] and [[Yezier]].{{file ref|Vorin Havah.jpg|Vorin Havah Folio Page}}{{book ref|sa3|49}} People from non-Vorin nations who associate with Alethi nobility (such as [[Evi]] and [[Palona]]) are expected to cover their safehands, although they may be relatively careless about keeping it totally hidden.{{book ref|sa3|36}}{{book ref|sa3|21}}
