Abstract
Abstract:This article presents the practice of extreme bag-carrying among women from both phenomenological and existential perspectives, examining the potential political and social substructures inducing women to enact a pain-producing habit. Drawing on insights from both phenomenology and existentialism, this essay aims to get underneath the practice, making legible the motivations behind enacting a habit that, while innocuous on its face, poses an immense amount of harm to the bag-carrying woman. The pain factor leaves us with a puzzle through which I propose to sort: the fact of women engaging in a habit that in the end, just hurts.
期刊介绍：
The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
