1.IntroductionPostfeminism exploits a concept of feminism as inflexible, far-reaching, anti-sex and affair, challenging and extremist, providing the contentment of (re)claiming a distinctiveness manageable by gender politics, postmodernism, or established critique. Postfeminism frequently operates as a way of recording and apparently determining the continuity of option quandaries for women. The tremendous ideological effect that is constituted by an accrual of postfeminist cultural matter is the underpinning of conventional norms as the critical preeminent options (Bratu, 2016; Magrini, 2016; Schwieler and Magrini, 2015) in women's lives. Postfeminism confers substantial relevance to the configuration of a meaningful personal routine and the capacity to decide on the appropriate articles of trade to accomplish it, fetishizing female ascendancy and craving while reliably placing them within definite boundaries. (Negra, 2009)2.The Intricate, Shifting Gender Dynamics of the Present Postfeminist CultureThe influential politics within feminism has come out from the liberaldemocratic practice with a stress on marginal restructuring. The main goal is equality of chance, in which personal development is highlighted over essential alterations in the structural regulation of society. State interference concentrates on attaining a harmony between individual self-determination and community interests (Barnett, 2015; Krivochen, 2016; Rauch, 2016), assisting in moderating between opposing concerns. Liberal feminism is bound to accomplishing superior gender equality via legislative and policy amendment, its mission being to formulate and engage in carrying out schemes for alteration and bringing about equality for women via regulation within the political mechanisms and social strategies of liberal democracy. (Coppock et al., 2014)Postfeminism repudiates the egalitarian doctrines of feminism, becoming established as an ideological system in an epoch in which democratic fairness has coagulated into entitlism, substantially developing in the framework of influential antidemocratic propensities. The choices, chances, and incentives undergone by women in postfeminist media ensue to a gilt-edged group in possession of substantial informational, social, and financial resources. Postfeminism represses flexibility, furthering hindrance and the compliance to normative patterns of distinctiveness (Buchely, 2016; O'Neill, 2015; Zaharia and Zaharia, 2015) even while publicizing self-improving consumerism. Postfeminism flourishes on restlessness about aging, revamping the latter among a diversity of generational clusters and encompassing the possibility of age evasion. Postfeminism directs representational attention on household, time, labor, and consumer culture, and is likely to generate accounts and pictures that signify female apprehension and imagine female emancipation in these spheres. Retreatism is an essential social routine of postfeminist culture, being both vag
1.后女权主义将女权主义定义为不灵活的、深远的、反性和婚外情的、具有挑战性的和极端主义的,提供了一种满足,即(重新)声称一种由性别政治、后现代主义或既定批评管理的独特性。后女权主义经常作为一种记录和确定女性选择困境连续性的方式运作。由后女权主义文化问题累积而成的巨大意识形态效应是传统规范作为关键卓越选择的基础(Bratu, 2016;Magrini, 2016;Schwieler and Magrini, 2015)对女性生活的影响。后女权主义赋予了一个有意义的个人日常配置的实质性关联,以及决定适当的交易条款来完成它的能力,崇拜女性的优势和渴望,同时可靠地将她们置于明确的界限内。(猪肉,2009)2。当代后女性主义文化中复杂多变的性别动态女性主义内部的影响力政治产生于自由民主实践,强调边缘重构。主要目标是机会平等,其中强调个人发展,而不是社会结构调节的根本改变。国家干预的重点是实现个人自决和社区利益之间的和谐(Barnett, 2015;Krivochen, 2016;Rauch, 2016),协助缓和对立的担忧。自由主义女性主义必然要通过立法和政策修正来实现优越的性别平等,其使命是在自由民主的政治机制和社会策略范围内,制定并参与实施变革方案,通过规制实现妇女平等。(Coppock et al., 2014)后女权主义否定了女权主义的平等主义教义,在民主公平已经凝结成权利主义的时代,成为一种意识形态体系,在有影响力的反民主倾向的框架下实质性地发展。女性在后女权主义媒体中所经历的选择、机会和激励,造就了一个拥有大量信息、社会和财政资源的镀金群体。后女权主义压制灵活性,进一步阻碍和遵守规范性模式的独特性(Buchely, 2016;奥尼尔,2015;Zaharia and Zaharia, 2015),甚至在宣传自我完善的消费主义的同时。后女权主义因对衰老的不安而蓬勃发展,在不同的代际群体中改造了后者,并包含了逃避年龄的可能性。后女权主义将代表性的注意力集中在家庭、时间、劳动和消费文化上,并可能产生表明女性忧虑和想象女性在这些领域解放的账户和图片。隐退主义是后女权主义文化的一种基本的社会惯例,既模糊又在政治上没有定论。后女权主义媒体文化倾向于重新处理已建立的代表性代码,但剥夺了它们的改良主义和/或冲突属性。在一个超婚姻、后女权主义的文化中,即使个人对主题媒体的回忆消失了,关键情况也经常转化为分析。(Negra, 2009)所有性别的个体都接受新自由主义、后女权主义的主体性观点。后女权主义的修辞强调并赞扬了女性在男性主导的劳动环境中的成就。后女权主义对女性专家的强调塑造了假定的劳动和花钱的权利,作为女性个人自主权的基本原理。后女权主义将女性的新自我决定表述为做出个人决定的能力,尽管有大量的选择和要求(Chen, 2015;彼得斯,2015),使他们在一个不断的原因导致期权偶尔成为一种负担。…

Over the past 70 years, considerable attention has been paid to the ways in which Burma was portrayed during the colonial era (1826-1948). However, to date no-one has looked in a systematic way at how Western music played a role in influencing and reflecting popular perceptions. This is curious, as during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries music was a powerful cultural vector, strongly affecting public attitudes to foreign places and events. Images of the "Orient," and of Oriental women in particular, were conveyed thr ough songs a nd popular ent ertainments. T o a sur pr ising ext ent, this included portrayals of Burma, and "Burma girls." From the publication of Rudyard Kipling's enor mously popular ballad "Mandalay" in 1890, until Burma regained its independence from Britain in 1948, more than 180 songs and tunes were published with Burmese themes, helping to create a codified image of Burma's women as demure, attractive and available. In doing so, however, these compositions probably revealed as much about contemporary Western society as they did about the "Far East."The Research ProblemFor decades, scholars and commentators have tried to answer the questions: how was colonial Burma perceived in and by the Western world, how did people in countries like the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) form their views, and how were they manifested?Historians led the way, not only by infor ming Western audiences about developments in Burma but also by describing how European contacts over the centuries gave rise to a wide range of myths and misconceptions.1 Other social scient ists ma de useful contributions. In 1985, for example, Josef Silverstein discussed the portrayal of Burma in a number of novels by European and American authors.2 Clive Christie and Stephen Keck later surveyed the travel literature produced during the colonial period, and weighed its impact on Western perceptions of Burma.3 Deborah Boyer searched through Victorian-era periodicals for references to Burma and its role in the British Empire.4 In 2009, this author examined the way in which Burma had been represented in Hollywood movies and how this might have influenced views of the countr y. 5 Others ha ve comment ed on the paintings of Bur ma a nd Burmese people produced by British artists during the colonial period. 6 Engravings, photographs and picture postcards also influenced the way in which Burma was seen in the UK, US and elsewhere.7To date, however, no-one has looked in a systematic way at how Western views of colonial Burma were influenced by popular music.
