Abstract (sommario):

In this essay, Griffin brings to the fore two extraordinary black women of our age: First Lady Michelle Obama and entertainment mogul Beyonce Knowles. Both women signify change in race relations in America, yet both reveal that the history of racial inequality in this country is far from over. As an Ivy League-educated descendent of slaves, Michelle Obama is not just unfamiliar to the mainstream media and the Washington political scene; during the 2008 presidential campaign, she was vilified as angry and unpatriotic. Beyonce, who controls the direction of her career in a way that pioneering black women entertainers could not, has nonetheless styled herself in ways that recall the distinct racial history of the Creole South. Griffin considers how Michelle Obama's and Beyonce's use of their respective family histories and ancestry has bolstered or diminished their popular appeal.

Abstract (sommario):

In the account of his missionary work, the Jesuit John Gerard (1564–1637) famously explained how, after a few years of penury in ‘Mass equipment’, Catholic houses had become so well equipped that priests were able to set about their work immediately upon their arrival. He recalled that in the last two years of his work (1604–06), he no longer needed to lodge in taverns but always found friendly dwellings to shelter him on his way. Most of these were run by women, whose prominence in the activity of harbouring was pointed out in many documents, including the minutes of the confession given to the Privy Council by the appellant priest Anthony Sherlock, who turned informer after his capture in 1606:[Sherlock] grew into acquaintance with Lady Stonor near Henley-on-Thames and stayed with her three or four years, often saying mass in her house. Next he moved to Warwicks. and at Brailes and Welsford was with a widow named Margaret Bishop for two or three years. Then to Worcs., where he said Mass once or twice in the house of Lady Windsor and also at Mrs. Heath’s at Alchurch, at Hawkesley with Mr. Middlemore and at Tamworth in Warwicks. with Richard Dolphin two or three years. Then he was with widow Knowles at Ridware, with Mrs. Comberford at Wednesbury, with Mrs. Stanford at Parkington …

Abstract (sommario):

Gender injustice is a challenge in Indonesian society in general and sadly this condition is still happening in the church which should teach and proclaim love, equality and justice for women and men as the image and of God. In this regard, the author will outline the roles and challenges of women in church ministry, the elements that affect the inequalities and injustices experienced by women in church ministry. Furthermore, the author also explores the thoughts and experiences of John Wesley as a "Methodist Father" regarding the role of women in church ministry. The exploration of John Wesley's traditions and thoughts is also one of the elements that need to be considered in recommending church ecclesiology that embodies gender equality and justice relations.

Abstract (sommario):

DESPITE the substantial and significant body of scholarly work on changing gender relations among African peoples who are (or were) primarily cultivators, the gender relations of predominantly pastoralist peoples have been, with a few notable exceptions, curiously excluded from historical examination. Instead, despite work which has shown the complexities of trying to determine the ‘status’ of East African pastoralist women, pastoralist gender relations seem to exist outside of history and be immune to change. Earlier anthropological studies that addressed pastoral gender relations applied a synchronic model, analyzing them in terms of either the pastoral mode of production or pastoralist ideology. Harold Schneider, for example, contended that among East African pastoralists, men's control of livestock gave them control of women, who were ‘usually thoroughly subordinated to men and thus unable to establish independent identity as a production force’. In his rich ethnography of Matapato Maasai, Paul Spencer claimed that both male and female Maasai believe in ‘the undisputed right of men to own women as “possessions” ’. Marriage, in his view, was therefore ‘the transfer of a woman as a possession from her father who reared her to her husband who rules her’. Melissa Llewelyn-Davies' study of Loita Maasai women in Kenya corroborated Spencer's findings. Loita Maasai women perceived themselves, and were perceived, as ‘property’, to be bought and sold by men with bridewealth. Llewelyn-Davis argued that ‘elder patriarchs’ used their control of property rights in women, children and livestock to control the production and reproduction of both livestock and human beings. Similarly, in his symbolic analysis of pastoral Maasai ideology, John Galaty contended that Maasai men were the ‘real’ pastoralists, while Maasai women were negatively equated with lower status hunters, providing an ideological explanation for their lower status. Thus, whether they attributed their findings to material or ideological sources (or some combination of the two), few anthropologists questioned the ‘undisputed right’ of contemporary male pastoralists ‘to own women as possessions’.

Abstract (sommario):

Critiques of the public/private divide in Western political thought do not go far enough in analyzing the full range and character of relations in the private sphere as demonstrated in this article, which analyzes John Locke's theorisation about the relative authority of wives, servants and slaves. A third-wave feminist analysis is used to illustrate the theoretical relevance of group-based identities that, far from having a uniform relation to the political power afforded to free (male) citizens, are hierarchically stratified. Thus it is demonstrated that a basic problem within second-wave feminist analysis of Lockean, and more broadly defined liberal thought, is the tendency to categorize women as ''wives'' of free citizens, and not to analyze adequately other dimensions of identity, thereby ignoring the explicit divisions and hierarchy among different groups of women in one of the earliest accounts of the private sphere in liberal theory.

Abstract (sommario):

The present study examined whether identity development occurs in tandem with personality development in emerging adulthood. Three‐wave longitudinal data on a sample of 351 female college students were used to answer questions about stability and change, direction of effects, and interrelated developmental trajectories. Four identity dimensions (i.e. commitment making, exploration in breadth, identification with commitment, and exploration in depth) and the Big Five were assessed. Identity and personality were found to be meaningfully related at the level of both the time‐specific adjacent measures and the underlying developmental trajectories with various degrees of convergence. Cross‐lagged analyses substantiated reciprocal influences and Latent Growth Curve Modelling substantiated common developmental pathways that partially mirrored the concurrent relations. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract (sommario):

This study is concerned with investigating the treatment of women and gender roles in Glasworthy’s Forsyte Saga and Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy from a sociopragmatic perspective. The texts studied for this paper have not been evaluated to socio-pragmatic analysis that reflects the little application of this approach to literary works. As thus, the goal of this paper is to advance sociopragmatic analysis to these novels—there is salience from the style, narrative techniques, and language utilized by both writers in their books, which indeed points to pragmatic undercurrents that must be explored. The results indicate that social and political aspects are key elements for understanding women and gender issues in the selected texts. The integration of these contextual elements revealed how the two authors manipulated literary discourse to reflect on the power relations and struggles between men and women of their age. It can be claimed that sociopragmatic approaches provide opportunities for understanding the hidden layers within the selected texts in terms of social practices and interactions among characters. It is finally suggested that sociopragmatic approaches should be integrated into literary studies for a better and deeper understanding of literary discourse in general and crosscultural issues in particular.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The Code of Canon Law, promulgated by John Paul II in 1983, is a synthesis of the earlier 1917 Code and the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council. The Code contains norms which go well beyond a reform of the inner legal relations within the Catholic Church. A lot of them deal with the value and dignity of the human person, which shows a clear impact of the pontificate of John Paul II, who put a lot of emphasis on the given issue. The article discusses the fields of legal regulations in the Code which touch upon the issue of the human person, esp. freedom of religion, protection of unborn life, social rights, legal standing of women and the education of future generations. It points out the main difference between civil law (which also serves the dignity of the human person) and canon law, namely, the latter aims at the salvation of souls.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

John Stuart Mill's commitment to empirically based inductive logic shapes the political substance of his theory, limiting his ability effectively to make the argument he wishes to make. The Subjection of Women is presented as a test case in which Mill wishes to argue for the justice and utility of the emancipation of women. His efforts are thwarted by his inability to argue from anything but an empirical basis, grounding his evidence in historical data which serve both to stereotype women's “good” qualities and to judge women's potential by what is observable from an admittedly unjust history.The essay reviews respected feminist analyses of Mill with an eye to establishing the natures and limitations of the various perspectives. It briefly discusses Mill's System of Logic which provides a detailed example, in pure form, of the methodological problems he faces in the Subjection. The essay then considers the method and content of The Subjection of Women, arguing that the shortcomings of Mill's political analysis are the result of his efforts to cling to an impossibly “pure” empiricist methodology.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

We studied initial and long–term outcomes of speed–dating over a period of 1 year in a community sample involving 382 participants aged 18–54 years. They were followed from their initial choices of dating partners up to later mating (sexual intercourse) and relating (romantic relationship). Using Social Relations Model analyses, we examined evolutionarily informed hypotheses on both individual and dyadic effects of participants’ physical characteristics, personality, education and income on their dating, mating and relating. Both men and women based their choices mainly on the dating partners’ physical attractiveness, and women additionally on men's sociosexuality, openness to experience, shyness, education and income. Choosiness increased with age in men, decreased with age in women and was positively related to popularity among the other sex, but mainly for men. Partner similarity had only weak effects on dating success. The chance for mating with a speed–dating partner was 6%, and was increased by men's short–term mating interest; the chance for relating was 4%, and was increased by women's long–term mating interest.

Abstract (sommario):

This work is a contextual study of five selected biblical texts from the Fourth Gospel: John 2:1-12 and John 19:25-29; John 4:1-42; John 11:1-12:1-11 and John 18:15-17. Its aim is to read the selected texts with a Rwandan woman’s eyes, focusing on her peacemaking role and her potential as an agent of reconciliation. It is motivated by the context of the Rwandan situation during and after the catastrophic genocide of 1994. This work seeks to open the eyes of Rwandan women toward the role of peacemaking and unity-building by using a combined approach to conflict resolution. This approach includes the application of some theories in the domain of sociology, as well as the contextual biblical approach. Thus, it combines the capacity of awareness of conflicts in the community and its pain in the victim, and strives to restore the broken relationship caused by the conflict. The reading of the biblical texts with Rwandan eyes and the dialogue with the texts pointed out that the women used some tools in the gospel for success in the role of peacemaking and peace-building in their communities. The main tools are listed in the data findings of the exegesis. But mainly the transcendence of conflictual myths of origin to with kinship ties was found to be a major tool for breaking the kind of barriers which could lead to genocide. This research also highlights the failure of women in that domain because of their lack of transcendence of obligations based on regional and kinship ties. They fail to display their ubumuntu and their ubunyampinga. They rather point fingers at the victims instead of siding with or shielding them. Various suggestions are made for women to play a successful role in bringing about true and lasting peace and reconciliation, pointing out some ways in which Rwandan women can help to restore unity and trust among the population.

Abstract (sommario):

The rediscovery of the Della Cruscans, a late-eighteenth century poetic coterie, has helped to revive an interest in papers of “elegance” such as John Bell’s the World, which established a successful template for the late eighteenth-century newspaper, one that was exploited by many of the papers that followed in its wake. In this chapter, Claire Knowles examines the contribution made to this paper not only by women in general, but by one woman in particular, Mary Wells. Wells was a popular actress and the mistress of the paper’s proprietor, Edward Topham. She was implicated in the paper’s establishment and played an important role in its daily running. By examining Wells’ largely unacknowledged role at the World alongside the work of the female poets that the paper encouraged, Knowles suggests that the paper can be seen as an important example of the increasing feminisation of print media in the late-eighteenth century.

Abstract (sommario):

Chapter 4 is an extended close reading of John Sommerfield’s experimental proletarian novel May Day, which can be seen as an attempt to both prove the utility of modernist techniques – drawing in particular on the work of Virginia Woolf – for communist ends as well as demonstrating what a communist perspective offers modernist techniques. Sommerfield employs Woolf’s techniques to focus on the seemingly-random connections thrown up by capitalist social relations surrounding the production process and thus sets out an opposition between the concrete possibilities offered by modern intersubjective networks and the barriers set to those by the capitalist framework within which everyone is imprisoned (the upper-class as much as the working-class characters). A significant aspect of his approach lies in his focus on working-class women ranging from married mother, Martine Seton, to the Work’s manager’s mistress, Jenny Hardy, and the Communist activist, Ivy Cutford. Sommerfield is shown to be fundamentally concerned with how to replicate the successful incorporation of female unconsciousness and sexuality by individualist modernist novels into a collectivist novel concerned with society as a whole.

Abstract (sommario):

Chapter 1 shows how Henry Adams's novels interrogate John Stuart Mill's arguments for egalitarian reciprocity in marriage and in pedagogical practice. Reading Democracy and Esther alongside Mill's Subjection of Women, with reference to his 'Inaugural Address', the chapter argues that these novels are early expressions of an apostasy from liberalism that finds fuller expression in Adams's later work. Questioning liberalism's account of the human as well as its zeal for development, Democracy and Esther play with Darwinian ideas in order to suggest that men and women are base and bestial, especially in their relations with each other. Relishing such primitive animality along with a sensuous absence of intellect, Adams locates these qualities in womanhood and Blackness; these categories of sex and race help him to articulate a rejection of liberal arguments for education and progress.

Abstract (sommario):

This chapter provides an overview of feminist film theory. Feminist film studies, or ‘gendered film studies’, is intended to explore the ways in which women (and men) are represented by visual media, and film in particular. Feminists argue that media representations of gender perpetuate and reinforce the values of patriarchal society. Men tend to be cast in strong, active roles while women are shown as passive and merely ‘pretty’. ‘Woman’ comes to represent not one person of the female sex, but a stereotype, a category defined by men and in opposition to men. Stereotyping is not always negative, but it tends to preserve and perpetuate power relations in society. Even today, women have a relatively small role in constructing public images of ‘womanhood’. The chapter then looks at the contributions of two influential authors whose seminal texts have fostered new understanding of gender representation in the visual media: John Berger and Laura Mulvey.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract This chapter documents the early life of Emily Davies, from her birth in 1830 through to her late twenties, when she was still the living-at-home daughter of a now elderly evangelical clergyman in the industrial north-east of England, intellectually voracious but apparently unaware of any kind of women’s movement. The most significant event in her life in this period was becoming close friends with three other young women: Jane and Annie Crow and, through them, Elizabeth Garrett, who would herself become a leading figure in the women’s movement. The chapter also focuses on two of Davies’s relations. Her father, John Davies, was a strict evangelical and thwarted intellectual, a maverick who courted controversy and suffered from perennial ill health. Her oldest brother, John Llewelyn Davies, also a clergyman, was an eminent Cambridge scholar, a Christian Socialist follower of F. D. Maurice, and a prominent member of the liberal broad church intelligentsia.

In this chapter Deborah Beckel reconsiders historians' analyses of the Knights of Labor in Gilded Age North Carolina. Based on new research, it reframes interpretations of labor's role in the rise of Populism. Reevaluating race, class, gender, and power relations within and among the Knights of Labor, Farmers' Alliance, and People's Party movements, it shows how black and white men and women, including Ellen Williams, shaped interracial, cross-class, and cross-gender activism. It reexamines the ways that grassroots African-American leaders communicated with state and national leaders, including Marion Butler, Elias Carr, and John Hayes. The chapter rethinks the roles of the Knights of Labor and the Republican Party in North Carolina's fusion coalition. It reassesses the meanings of the Republican-Populist political victories of the 1890s.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract The final chapter focuses on the aesthetic relations that come to the fore as one encounters extranormative stunners (to borrow a term from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood), particularly in John Everett Millais’s The Blind Girl (1856). The chapter articulates an aesthetics of stillness; this painting simultaneously represents stillness and imposes it on its viewers, and this stillness becomes a condition for articulating ideas about what constitutes the aesthetic. The chapter discusses how to recognize stunning by way of paragone arguments regarding the relative value of painting and sculpture. It compares a series of texts and art objects, most notably Randolph Rogers’s sculpture Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii, with The Blind Girl. The potentiality of optical innocence allows for ethical defense of the focus on beautiful surfaces, usually associated with women, that characterizes the move from Pre-Raphaelitism to Aestheticism.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract This chapter reviews what is known about the relationship between gender systems and demographic change. The potential importance of society’s gender organization for demographic change (especially for change in fertility and mortality) has been recognized widely only since the early 1980s, when authors such as John Caldwell (1982) and Nancy Folbre (1983) first described how patriarchal family systems act to maintain high fertility. Although research on female employment and fertility stretches back into the early portion of the century, studies explicitly concerned with gender systems and their impact on demographic change are relatively new. Indeed, investigation of this topic is recent enough that we are only beginning to understand how to conduct high-quality research on it. Even less well understood than the impact of gender systems on demographic change is the equally important link between demographic change and shifts in gender relations that result in a more equal balance of power and well-being between women and men. In the interests of encouraging better research, this chapter discusses several reasons for the preliminary state of our knowledge as well as reviewing what we already know.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Behavioral scientists are like most people; they tend to think of relationships as either good for you or bad for you. In truth, relationships defy such simple classification. They can be, and usually are, both healthy and unhealthy. The evidence that divorce leads to health problems is strong, especially for men. Higher rates of depression, and alcoholism, and a twofold increase in suicides are typically found among divorced and separated men compared with married and single men (Bruce & Kim, 1992; Kposowa, 2000; Power, Rodgers, & Hope, 1999). Women are also at risk, with high rates of depressive disorders following marital dissolution. But these statistics do little to dissuade people from marriage and other risky intimate partnerships. A close relationship is indeed a double-edged sword. This chapter examines these two sides of the emotional life of marriage and similar bonds, relying on the two-dimensional framework developed thus far in this book. John Neale and Arthur Stone (Stone, 1981; Stone & Neale, 1982) were among the first to discover dualism in everyday conjugal relations. They recruited couples who answered their advertisements in the local newspapers and asked them to complete daily diaries.
