Full textAbstract:
Feminists have been concerned about the debasement of women in sexually explicit material. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of domination and sexual inequality in x-rated videocassettes through a content analysis of 45 widely available x-rated videocassettes. The sample was randomly drawn from a list of 121 adult movie titles widely available in family videocassette rental stores in southern California. Over half of the explicitly sexual scenes were coded as predominantly concerned with domination or exploitation. Most of the domination and exploitation was directed by men toward women. Specific indicators of domination and sexual inequality, including physical violence, occurred frequently. The growth of the videocassette rental industry and the popularity of x-rated films, coupled with the messages these films convey, is a cause for concern.

Work of Children in Arts Organizations. Two Faces of the Organizational Shadow Children-artists participating in film, show and media projects are, just like adult artists, participants in human resource management processes (e.g., recruitment, evaluation, training or derecruitment). However, children do not have professional competences similar to those of adult members of an organization, and their professional development is determined by the decisions of managers of arts organizations. The aim of the article is to deepen the reflection on the situation of children working in arts organizations in the context of the relationship “a child in the shadow of an adult”. In this article the shadow is the domination of adults, and the darkened space is the childhood of underage artists. The considerations lead to the conclusion that the work of children in arts organizations is a kind of challenge for adult members of the organizations.

Herbert Marcuse's concept of repressive tolerance argues that behind the justification of tolerance lies the possibility of ideological domination. Tolerance allows intolerable practices to go unchallenged and flattens discussion to assume all viewpoints have equal validity. When alternative, dissenting views are inserted into the curriculum dominant ideology means they are always positioned as the 'other' in relation to the mainstream. This article takes Marcuse's concept and applies it to a number of familiar adult educational practices and concerns. It considers how Marcuse's contrasting notion of liberating tolerance might be manifest in adult education.

Full textAbstract:
This essay uses performance theory to intervene in a decades-long debate about a characteristic of children's literature: it is the only major category of literature written by one group (adults) for another (children). According to a contested but tenacious school of thought, this difference between writers and readers embeds top-down power, or adult domination of children, in children's literature. I identify a popular subcategory of children's literature, the “going-to-bed book” (exemplified by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd's Goodnight Moon), which appears to epitomize and therefore shore up this top-down model. I then read going-to-bed books through function—that is, the ritualistic actions or performances that these books prompt, or script, among child and adult readers. This mode of analysis initially produces seemingly powerful evidence in support of the top-down model of children's literature; but that evidence, as I show by examining two recent best sellers, ultimately unravels.

Full textAbstract:
Critics have highlighted the complicity of human rights law in mass disempowerment and domination—a criticism equally applicable to child law. This article investigates this issue, as evidenced by three recent developments that Israel has justified by invoking these legal frameworks: an increased separation of Palestinian adults and children in Israeli custody; the Israeli legal system's growing preoccupation with “rehabilitating” the now-segregated Palestinian children; and the Israeli authorities' ever-diminishing interest in such rehabilitation for adult Palestinian prisoners. By canvassing the legal architecture, judicial rationalizations, adverse effects, and sociopolitical context of these developments, this article foregrounds their divide-and-rule logic and structure of driving a generational wedge between Palestinians and potentially weakening their political ties, solidarity, and resistance.

Full textAbstract:
The paper explores asymmetrical peer interaction and focuses on adolescents with higher competences, which is fairly rare in this field. Although interested in language, the Vygotskians dominantly studied adult-child interaction, while the Piagetian research, despite the orientation towards peer interaction, has started to investigate their dialogue only recently. In the current paper, we traced the domination submissiveness communication pattern in 10 dyad conversations of primary school students (the 6th and 8th grade), in which more competent students progressed or regressed most after an interaction with a less competent peer. This pattern is usually related to a lower achievement of less competent students who were found to be submissive, while domination was a feature of their more competent peers. The aim was to explore whether this pattern had variations and how it was related to the achievement and behaviour of more competent students. The results indicate that there are various forms of the investigated communication pattern and that it is associated with the more competent students? progression. The previous findings regarding the dominant behaviour of more competent students have been confirmed. Qualitative analysis enabled us to see the domination-submissiveness communication pattern as a complex form of interaction which appears in various forms in the dialogues of asymmetric dyads.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we claim that Tony Blair’s idea of ‘Education, Education, Education!’ has been transformed into a reality of: ‘Over-protection, Over-protection, Over-protection! ‘In trying to ‘socialise’ young people, the desire of adult society to guard the young from all kinds of risks and threats has never been so highly prioritised. As well as parents, adult social institutions (like schools, youth organisations, and safety laws) act over-protectively towards young people. From nursery school onward, life is safeguarded and organised for young people – instead of by them. The gain of independence in autonomous extra-family activities is lost by the domination of professionally planned leisure-time programmes, so, de facto, ‘free time’ is not often ‘unsupervised’ time.

Full textAbstract:
While inequality between children and adults characterizes practically every aspect of contemporary society, school is considered a paradigmatic site of adult domination. Childist critiques tend to point to school as a place where adultism is not only conspicuous but also (re)produced. In this article, however, it is argued that the public school, obviously founded by adults for adult purposes, has an important childist dimension. Although it is based on a clear distinction between adult teachers and child students, school can problematize key adultist norms and promote a more age-equal society. This does not imply that exiting schools are necessarily childist, but rather that a certain understanding of the school, which emphasizes its social-democratic significance, can uncover its childist aspects and build on them when reimagining public education. The conception of the school in which the article focuses is presented in Jan Masschelein and Maarten Simons’ 2013 book In Defence of the School: A Public Issue. Although the authors do not refer directly to childism (or child equality), and are clearly writing from an adultist perspective, I argue that the public school they describe does have a childist dimension: it challenges one of the root causes of adultism: considering children the property of their parents. Nevertheless, Masschelein and Simons’ conception of the school raises a problem of its own, which also has a childist aspect: the concern that uniform schooling supervised by the state will be detrimental to minority and indigenous groups, imposing a culture and identity determined by adults. The second part of this article addresses this concern, arguing that genuine school education can be key not only to preserving but also to revitalizing minority cultures and identities by allowing the students to bring their “newness” into the encounter with the cultures and identities of their families.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche porte sur les violences sexuelles subies par les hommes, conceptualisées comme des violences de genre. Elle adopte une approche biographique et porte une attention particulière aux rapports d’âge imbriqués au genre, mais aussi à la sexualité et la classe. Les analyses s’appuient sur deux enquêtes quantitatives, Virage (2015) et CSF (2006), ainsi que cinquante entretiens biographiques avec des répondants à Virage ayant déclaré des violences sexuelles.Au total, 3,1 % des hommes déclarent avoir subi des violences sexuelles au cours de la vie, presque exclusivement avant 25 ans et perpétrées par d’autres hommes, toujours plus âgés. L’approche biographique permet de souligner l’importance des mécanismes de domination au sein de l’institution familiale, en particulier dans la banalisation des violences et leur silenciation. Elle souligne que les violences constituent des facteurs de vulnérabilité dans les parcours de vie, en fonction des conditions de vie dans l’enfance, et plus tard sur la trajectoire de santé, sexuelle et dans les relations interpersonnelles. Cette recherche met également en lumière les rapports aux normes de genre, de sexualité et de conjugalité des hommes qui déclarent des violences. Ceux-ci se positionnent de manière moins inégalitaire que l’ensemble des hommes, au sein d’un espace des masculinités opposant masculinités hégémoniques égalitariste et conservatrice. L’approche biographique est répliquée pour théoriser les « parcours de violences », constitués de plusieurs trajectoires : exposition, silenciation, qualification et énonciation. Ces dernières permettent d’analyser les évolutions dynamiques des rapports de pouvoir, durant les violences et lorsqu’elles ont pris fin. Après avoir isolé six trajectoires types d’exposition, deux groupes se distinguent : les hommes ayant vécu des violences (très) jeunes et/ou cumulées, notamment au sein de la famille ou de l’entourage proche ; et ceux les ayant subies à l’adolescence ou durant la jeunesse, dans des contextes scolaires, de sociabilités masculines et d’entrées dans la sexualité. Les premiers ont un parcours de violences particulièrement difficile, qui marque les parcours de vie. Les violences laissent des traces mais ne marquent pas durablement les parcours de vie des seconds. Toutefois, tout au long de la thèse, l’analyse montre que les hommes non hétérosexuels sont plus exposés, plus silenciés, moins soutenus et plus mis en vulnérabilité tout au long du parcours de vieThis research focuses on the sexual violence suffered by men, as gender-based violence. It adopts a life course approach and a particular attention to age and gender relations, as well as to sexuality and class. The analyses are based on two quantitative surveys, Virage (2015) and CSF (2006), and fifty biographical interviews with Virage respondents who had reported sexual violence. In total, 3.1% of men report having been sexually assaulted in their lifetime, almost exclusively before the age of 25 and perpetrated by other men, always older than themselves. The life course approach highlights the importance of mechanisms of domination within the family institution, particularly in trivialising and silencing violence. It underlines the fact that violence is a factor of vulnerability in the life course, depending on living conditions in childhood, and later on the trajectory of health, sexuality and interpersonal relationships. This research also highlights the particular relations to gender, sexuality and conjugality norms of men who report violence. These men position themselves less unequally than men as a whole in the space of masculinities, highlighting an opposition between hegemonic egalitarian and conservative masculinities.The biographical approach is replicated to theorise the ‘pathways of violence’, with several trajectories: exposure, silencing, qualification and enunciation. These make it possible to analyse the dynamic changes in power relations, both during the violence and once it has ended. After isolating six typical exposure trajectories, two groups stand out: men who had experienced violence at a young age and/or at multiple times, particularly within the family or close social circle; and those who had suffered violence in adolescence or during their youth, in the context of school, male social life and sexual initiation. The former have a particularly difficult pathway of violence, which leaves its mark on their lives. For the latter, the violence leaves its mark but does not have a lasting effect on their lives. However, throughout the thesis, the analysis shows that non-heterosexual men are more exposed, more silent, less supported and more vulnerable throughout their lives

Les études portant sur l’agression sexuelle à l’enfance (ASE) n’ont fait que croître au cours des dernières années. Il s’agit d’une problématique grave, dont les conséquences à court et long terme sont considérables et néfastes. D’ailleurs, davantage de conduites sexuelles extradyadiques à l’âge adulte peuvent être l’une de ces séquelles. L’objectif principal du présent projet vise à tester un modèle médiationnel, à l’aide d’analyses acheminatoires, comprenant comme variable prédictrice la sévérité de l’ASE, comme variables médiatrices les motivations sexuelles de domination et de soumission, puis comme variable prédite l’infidélité. L’effet du genre sur l’ensemble du modèle est également examiné. Les résultats démontrent que la sévérité de l’ASE prédit directement les risques d’infidélité, mais aussi indirectement via une augmentation de la motivation sexuelle de domination, et ce, tant chez les hommes que chez les femmes. La probabilité qu’il y ait des conduites infidèles passe de 18% à 31% lorsque la sévérité de l’ASE ainsi que la motivation sexuelle de domination passent de moyennes à élevées. Les résultats mettent en évidence un enjeu de pouvoir chez les victimes d’ASE qui vient teinter leur sexualité et qui se doit d’être approfondi cliniquement.

Full textAbstract:
Arundati Roy (2020) states that historically pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This chapter, set in the COVID-19 pandemic, centres the importance of cognitive justice which is an essential part of the struggles for justice against domination. Cognitive justice is used as a lens to explore the case story of Cape Town Together (CTT), which was a response to COVID-19. The social movement was built, bottom up, challenging the deep racial and class divides that are a signature of Cape Town. The concept of ‘professors of the street’ emerged as part of CTT. This concept is explored by locating it within the context of the pandemic and within CTT’s learning/teaching/organising practices. It is argued that ‘professors of the street’ are a provocation to challenge the dominant knowledge hierarchies that prevail – it is a metaphor for the critical importance of grassroots, local knowledge in times of ‘crisis’. The teaching/learning /organising ethos within CTT provided fertile soil for «professors of the street» to emerge as an example of the enactment of cognitive justice within a crisis. The case story offers insights for organising for social-ecological justice in various ‘crisis’ situations.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSurrogacy is becoming a new cause for transnational feminism and the public debate is strongly influenced by the commodification and autonomy/choice frames used in other battles of feminism (abortion and prostitution). This chapter will discuss the scarce appeal of the defence of women from commodification in an individualistic society that legitimizes self-determination at any cost and self-objectification; it will also highlight female agency in choosing to participate in surrogacy, inviting to understand these decisions in light of some characteristics of contemporary society, including the imperative to individual choice as well as the human domination over nature through technology; in light of the limitations of women’s freedom during pregnancy for others, the claim of surrogacy as a space for expression of a woman’s autonomy will be questioned; the claim of surrogacy as empowerment will also be questioned, highlighting the negative impact on the social condition of women. Finally, it will be proposed to shift the focus of the debate from adults to children, and, in particular, to their separation at birth from the one they identify as mother: this removal, even if done without wanting to harm, could be framed as a form of violence.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Since the 1970s, significant efforts have been made to increase the public’s understanding of domestic violence and to educate professionals and service providers about this problem. Through accounts from battered and formerly battered women, domestic violence is now understood to include a range of behaviors—physical, sexual, economic, emotional, and psychological abuse—directed toward establishing and maintaining power and control over an intimate partner. There is also an increased awareness that the societal tendency to blame domestic violence victims and excuse perpetrators is rooted in a history of cultural and legal traditions that have supported the domination and abuse of women by men in intimate relationships. Despite greater public awareness, however, myths and misconceptions about battered women’s experiences persist. Interventions based on these myths can have a devastating effect on victims and their families.

Full textAbstract:
The Western onto-theological tradition has long been preoccupied with two symbolizations of childhood. One conceives of it as an original unity of being and knowing, an exemplar of completed identity. The other conceives of childhood as deficit and danger, an exemplar of the untamed appetite and the uncontrolled will. In the economy of Plato and Aristotle’s tripartite self, the child is ontogenetically out of balance. She is incapable of bringing the three parts of the self into a right hierarchal relation based on the domination of reason. In other words, attaining adulthood means eradicating the child. Freud’s reformulation of the Platonic community of self combines the two symbolizations. His model creates an opening for shifting power relations between the elements of the self. He opens the way toward what Kristeva calls the "subject-in-process," a pluralism of relationships rather than an organization constituted by exclusions and hierarchies. After Freud, the child comes to stand for the inexpugnable demands of desire. Through dialogue with this child, the postmodern adult undergoes the dismantling of the notion of subjectivity based on domination, and moves toward the continuous reconstruction of the subject-in-process.

Full textAbstract:
After thirty years of domination by straight, white, adult and male fans, comics fandom is becoming a diverse hobby again. Thanks in part to the popularity of superhero comics on Tumblr and other female-dominated Internet fan spaces, female readers have recently emerged as a central constituency of superhero comics fandom. Marvel has sought to capitalize on this trend by producing comics that appeal to Internet-savvy female fans. Kamala Khan is notable because she self-identifies as a fan and participates in activities such as fanfic writing. This chapter explores the rhetorical strategies Ms. Marvel has used to court a largely female Internet fanbase, the subsequent backlash to these efforts, and what Ms. Marvel’s success implies about the future of superhero comics.

Abstract In contrast to the voluminous material concerning the intense and vital relationship between Wilhelm and his mother, there is little information about the relationship between Wilhelm and his father. Although the historian must exercise caution in basing a hypothesis on the absence of evidence, the lack of material in Friedrich’s diaries or Wilhelm’s memoirs gives rise to the suspicion that emotional contact between father and son was limited. This suspicion is confirmed by the evidence that is available. Despite their mutual affection, the relationship appears to have been frustrating for Wilhelm, and he entered adult hood yearning to experience fully what until then had only been tantilizingly promised through his intermittent contact with his father. Wilhelm’s rebellion against his parents can therefore be understood not only as an effort to escape Victoria’s dissatisfaction and domination but also as an attempt to deal with the psychological consequences of what had been missing in his relationship with Friedrich.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, untimely age is hypervisible as shape-shifting: Black embodiment appears to shift from one mode to another and, specifically, age appears to shift from one transitory moment to the next, rather than transform over a long developmental or biological period of time. Black age is linked to the shifting appearance of the commodity and its value, which is expressed in an “age-shifting” performance in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852). “Value” overrides hierarchal differences between both gender and age. The logic of horizontal kinship is germane to Jordan Peele’s 2017 film, Get Out, in which the shared dispossession of the black adult son and the black mother re-emerges through a body-snatching act that leads to the recommodification and untimeliness of black embodiment. As this chapter argues, shifting is thinkable in relation to body-snatching, which is figurative of the unseen side of social domination. Together, the shape-shifter and the body-snatcher mutually illustrate the condition of black hypervisibility, and a related condition of simultaneously seeing remnants of the discarded past within the shifting dynamism of the historical present.

Abstract As Justice Brennan's arguments in Paris Adult Theatre and Texas v.Johnson reveal, it is intensely uncomfortable to recognize the extent to which we have a common interest in the attitudes, beliefs, and character traits of our fellow citizens. But this interest is a fact, and it is as unavoidable as it is dangerous. Many, like Brennan, who deny that it matters much whether society is permeated with pornographic materials believe that it is crucial for our culture to be suffused with courage and tolerance. Others, often on university campuses, deny the importance of a shared core of affection and respect for our country but propose “hate codes” and various forms of “sensitivity training” to assure that we all possess enlightened views about race, gender, disability, or sexual preference. To admit as a general principle that we do have a significant stake in the moral character of the community opens each of us to the possibility of domination by groups whose values and objectives we distrust. However, in pursuing our own moral visions, we necessarily attempt to inflict on others the very types of controls that we tend to think would be illegitimate if inflicted by others on us.

Full textAbstract:
This research seeks to establish how the Maasai culture impacts the education of girls and women in Narok North Sub-County, Kenya. Education is the instrument of liberation, domination, personal and communal development. Educating a girl ensures that the benefits of education are felt at the family level and even transmitted to future generations. Even though the Government of Kenya accomplished the free primary education policy in 2003 and went further and declared 100% transition of students from primary education to secondary education level in 2020, learning still remains a mirage for some families of the Narok North Sub-County. The dominant Maasai culture has hindered the actualization of the education of girls. This study was conducted using the ethnographic approach. Various groups of people were also interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The data obtained was analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. The study inferred that the community wasn’t enthusiastic about taking their girls and women to school. On school enrollments within Narok County, few girls, compared to boys, enrolled in grade 1 while the transition of leaners from primary schools to secondary schools stood slightly above 60%. This paper recommends radical combined efforts of all stakeholders as a technique of persuading the community to scale up its efforts on education attainment. Among these recommendations is incorporating the Maasai elders in this noble task and also supporting adult education literacy programs for young mothers and women.

Introduction: Within the concept of women in the archaic Roman era, the present paper will attempt a believable reconstruction of the passage of the vestal woman figure, subjected to the male �potestas� of the �pontfex maximus� in which Eros was sacrificed to the Civitas due to the blackmail of equal rights, to the recovery of the woman as an object of Christian contemplation. Objective and Method: The aim of this article, through the analysis of recognized sources, is to study the axiom according to which the Roman woman was considered equal to the man in society (for roles, reputation, legal capacity, and public image), only playing the religious role of vestal, which denied her femininity.Throughout history, male domination was revealed in all fields, still in the religious field, until the advent of Christianity which re-evaluated the woman through the figure of the Madonna, attributing to her the role of mother of the creator. Topic: The figure and role of women in ancient Rome did not disregard religion. In that period, the various female personalities could be identified in the figures of: matrons, prostitutes, commoners, vestals, all of which were characterized by enslavement to the particular patriarchal figure (pater, husband or pontifex). Only the vestal priestesses would seem to be excluded from the list of figures subject to male protagonists. The woman, considered tender and soft (�mollis, �mulier�, the most fragile) was completely excluded from important roles in Roman society.The juridical position of the Roman woman is obtained in the law of the XII tables (451-450 BC): "Feminas, etsi perfectae aetatis sint, in tutela esse, exceptis virginibus Vestalibus" - "The women are all to be under protection, although they are adults, except the Vestal virgins". Vestal women could juridically act like a man only if subjected to the temple of the goddess Vesta; in a psychoanalytic analysis, therefore, the counterpart was the renunciation of femininity, which was imposed by the thirty-year chastity they had to abide by. Throughout history, male domination was revealed in all fields, still in the religious field, until the advent of Christianity which re-evaluated the woman through the figure of the Madonna, attributing to her the role of mother of the creator. Conclusion: In conclusion, with this article, we will analyse how the Roman religions (polytheistic and monotheistic) have contributed, throughout history, to subjecting women to male domination and to attributing a negative and sinful image to them, until the advent of Christianity. The psychologist feels the need to address a question: what of this primordial essence of the feminine scares the man of every age?

To date, the studies on disagreement strategies in Chinese mainly focus on adults, and relevant research on senior high school students is rare. This study intends to explore gender differences in Chinese senior high school students’ use of disagreement strategies. By adopting a discourse completion task (DCT) and modified Yang’s classification of disagreement strategies (2015), we designed an open-ended questionnaire survey of 12 situations with three social factors (social distance, social status, and sex of hearer) which was distributed among 100 Chinese senior high school students. Then we analyzed all the 96 valid survey responses and did a T-test. The results show that the distribution of disagreement strategies is uneven, with Softened Disagreement Strategy (SDS, 96.96%) dominating, and that there exist significant gender differences in Chinese senior high school students’ use of Neither Softened Nor Strengthened Disagreement Strategy (NSNSDS) (p=0.0330.05). The present study contributes to the understanding of disagreement and gender differences in disagreement strategies and offers implications to communication and EFL teaching for Chinese teenagers.

The purpose of the study was to identify the common and distinct dominant (concepts) of two major generations based on egalitarian and traditional gender ideology – representatives of Вaby Вoomers (women and men born in 1946-1964) and representatives of Generation Z – students (girls and boys born in 1996-2010). The methodological basis of the first stage of the psychosocial study was built upon the ideas of psychological differences between generations, which were presented in the book «Generations» published by American scholars Neil Howe and William Strauss. The authors argue that individuals within a single generation (men and women) are united by common values, gender-role behavior, including skills, competencies, and etiquette, along with gender differentiation. We also relied on contemporary research in gender psychology, particularly regarding the influence of traditional paradigm pressure of femininity and masculinity concepts dominating throughout the lives of the Вaby Вoomer generation and its disruption by the current research in gender psychology on androgyny productivity and the interchangeability of gender roles in all spheres of private and social life. Specifically, it was the feminist ideas and gender balance that started to be assimilated by the younger generations, particularly the so-called digital Generation Z. Generation Z is characterized by the daily use of the Internet, YouTube, mobile phones, SMS, and MP3 players, which allowed to describe them as the digital generation. It is known that the nature of equitable, fair gender attitudes determines the democratic development of modern society and gender equality policy in all spheres of human existence, especially regarding women in the 21st century. We were interested in how deeply gender equality ideas have penetrated into each of the different spheres of human activity – education, upbringing, professional aspirations and career development, political and ideological views, and even fashion in the representations of the two generations – older adults and younger adults according to Erickson's age classification of developmental stages. Our pilot study revealed significant differences between the two gender mentalities – traditional for the majority of baby boomer generations, especially for women, and quite liberal, egalitarian for Generation Z, especially female students. Baby Вoomers adhere to ideals and a real assessment of any public events to a strict bipolar distribution of gender roles and consider the technological information boom the main negative factor that has defined the cognitive dissonance of youth with the traditional gender scripts of many generations of adults throughout their lives. For them, the lack of a bipolar distribution of family and social roles is unacceptable. The traditional bipolar roles of men and women are characterized by emotional and cognitive support, while the interchangeable gender life roles, especially in entrepreneurial ambitions and new views on life are considered derivatives of the influence of mass media, which propagates peculiar romantic same-sex relationships, pop culture of money, a new perception of global events. Hence, the fascination of youth with new technologies, artificial intelligence, new visions of gender and sexuality. Baby Вoomers consider the strict bipolar distribution of gender roles a revolutionary order of organizing family and social life, and the technological boom as a destructive factor that undermined the centuries-old roots of society organization, including distrust toward the experience of the older generation with their traditional gender scripts throughout life.
