Insurance is a form of compensation for the occurrence of uncertain risks and the delegation of responsibility to bear those risks. The event of this risk is uncertain because it depends on uncertainty. The transfer of risk is carried out by making an insurance agreement or insurance agreement. The first party is usually referred to as the insured. The second is the party willing to accept the risk of the first party by accepting a payment called a premium. Risk takers are often referred to as insurance companies. The research method used in this study uses a legal approach research method (statute approach) and a conceptual approach (conceptual approach). Based on the results of this study, the researcher states that the basis or cause of the rejection of an insurance agreement is because the insurance agreement is a conditional agreement, where the insurer only bears the loss suffered by the insured party following the terms of the event that resulted in the loss to the insured as agreed, by the parties in the insurance agreement. Or the insured party does not carry out its obligations to pay premiums to the insurer. The legal remedy that the insured party can take if the insurer rejects the claim is to file a lawsuit at the local District Court, as regulated in Article 23 of Law no. 8 of 1999. It can be completed through the BMAI institution.Keywords: Insurance, Claim, Dispute Resolution.

ABSTRACT This article offers a reply – and an alternative perspective – to Andria Christofidou’s recent contribution to this journal, which critically engages with debates on men, masculinities and social change. We first suggest that understanding change requires us to go beyond pitting theoretical frameworks against one another, and we highlight work that has done this. Second, as our main point, we argue that when bringing in intersectionality as a theory or concept, CSMM scholars must maintain the spirit of the foundational thinking of the idea, such that inequalities are uncovered, highlighted and challenged. We also stress that marginalised men, in the Global South but also the Global North, must be included in the story of social change. While our response is stimulated by Christofidou’s article, our contention applies to a wide range of thinking in CSMM.

As the world nears a year and a half of a global pandemic, academic work has increasingly detailed the gendered effects of Covid-19. Whilst early on, data indicated that men were at a higher risk of dying from Covid-19 (Peckham et al., 2020), recent data has shown that women are in fact much more likely to suffer from Post Covid Syndrome (or ‘long Covid’) leading to long term potential health implications (Sudre et al., 2021). The explanations for this have been largely couched in terms of biology and the science of sex differences – predominantly around men’s weaker immune responses. Though, behavioural explanations arising from gendered socialisation and norms have also been offered for why men are more likely to catch, develop symptoms and die from Covid-19 (Ruxton & Burrell, 2020, p. 14). An article in The New York Times, for instance, argued in 2020 that adherence to ‘toxic masculinity’ is a predictor of whether or not men are likely to wear masks (Gupta, 2020), something which has empirical support (Mahalik, Bianca, & Harris, 2021), whilst others have shown that men are far less likely to comply with recommendations and more likely to under-rate the threat of Covid-19 than women (Galasso et al., 2020). Men also represent a lower percentage of those who are vaccinated with even one dose of a vaccine in many countries. Differences in vaccination rates are undoubtedly, in part, due to the fact that women are more likely to work as frontline workers in healthcare and elderly care but the differences also reflect gendered differences in approaches to health. The argument that gender affects men’s health is well-trodden territory: the question is why? Courtenay’s (2000) article on the necessity of including an analysis of masculinity in an analysis of wellbeing famously claimed that this could be explained through men’s attitude to risk through adherence to certain constructs of masculinity. As he notes: ‘men also construct masculinities by embracing risk. A man may define the degree of his masculinity, for example, by driving dangerously or performing risky sports – and displaying these behaviours like badges of honor’ (p. 1389). Lohan (2007, p. 498) similarly argues that men are, on average, both more likely to take health risks and far less likely to seek help for risks to their health than women. With regards to CSMM, how men regard their bodies has been important to conceptualising issues of risk. Connell’s analysis of the ‘body inescapable’ inMasculinities (Connell, 1995, pp. 52–56), as well as the experience of feelings and emotions in pro-feminist, men’s consciousness-raising groups (Seidler, 1991) have observed how the ‘disciplining’ of men’s bodies has been linked to embracing a Cartesian rationality of mind over matter (Lloyd, 1984; Seidler, 1994) where dominant forms of masculinity are expressed in the exercise of will. The ableism of such theories (Hearn, 2015), especially neglect the way in which ageing men, particularly, experience
随着全球疫情接近一年半,学术工作越来越详细地阐述了新冠肺炎的性别影响。虽然早期的数据表明,男性死于新冠肺炎的风险更高(Peckham et al.,2020),但最近的数据显示,女性实际上更容易患上新冠肺炎后综合征(或“长期新冠肺炎”),从而导致长期潜在的健康影响(Sudre et al.,2021)。对此的解释主要体现在生物学和性别差异科学方面,主要围绕男性较弱的免疫反应。尽管如此,对于为什么男性更容易感染新冠肺炎、出现症状和死亡,性别化社交和规范产生的行为解释也被提供(Ruxton&Burrell,2020,第14页)。例如,《纽约时报》2020年的一篇文章认为,坚持“有毒的男性气质”是男性是否可能戴口罩的预测因素(Gupta,2020),这一点得到了实证支持(Mahalik,Bianca,&Harris,2021),而其他研究表明,与女性相比,男性遵守建议的可能性要小得多,更可能低估新冠肺炎的威胁(Galasso et al.,2020)。在许多国家,即使接种了一剂疫苗,男性在接种者中所占比例也较低。疫苗接种率的差异无疑在一定程度上是由于女性更有可能在医疗保健和老年护理领域担任一线工作者,但这种差异也反映了健康方法的性别差异。性别影响男性健康的论点是老生常谈:问题是为什么?Courtenay(2000)关于在幸福感分析中纳入男性气质分析的必要性的文章著名地声称,这可以通过男性对风险的态度来解释,因为他们坚持某些男性气质的结构。正如他所指出的:“男性也通过接受风险来塑造男性气质。一个男人可以定义他的男子气概的程度,例如,通过危险驾驶或进行危险的运动——并将这些行为表现为荣誉徽章”(第1389页)。Lohan(2007,第498页)同样认为,平均而言,男性比女性更有可能承担健康风险,也不太可能为健康风险寻求帮助。关于CSMM,男性如何看待自己的身体对风险问题的概念化很重要。Connell对男性气质中“身体不可避免”的分析(Connell,1995,第52-56页),以及支持女权主义的情感体验,男性意识提升团体(Seidler,1991)观察到,男性身体的“自律”如何与接受笛卡尔思维对物质的理性联系在一起(Lloyd,1984;塞德勒,1994),在这种理性中,男性气质的主导形式通过意志的行使来表达。这些理论的能力论(Hearn,2015)尤其忽视了老年男性体验变化化身的方式,这种方式可能不容易被划分为积极或消极的离散类别(Hearn&Sandberg,2009;汤普森,2018)。这就是风险和脆弱性这两个双重问题之间的相互联系。风险如何与新冠肺炎大流行相关的问题在之前的NORMA社论中得到了强调(Mellström,2020),风险通常如何与男性气概相关

ABSTRACT The restrictions to curb the Covid-19 pandemic have caused an escalation of gender-based violence all over the world, but they have also changed the trajectories of masculinities in nuanced and complex ways. In this article, I explore the experiences of Ugandan men who became unable to provide under the national lockdown, often finding themselves confined in their homes for the first time in their life. I discuss two dimensions of this experience. On the one hand, men had to painfully withdraw from circles of reciprocity, exemplified by the practice of ‘checking on’, too burdensome in a moment of economic insecurity. On the other hand, men’s ‘being there’, at home, progressively shifted from an unwanted obligation to a welcomed responsibility, embraced intentionally. Juggling between forced proximity and distance, men explored different ways of validating themselves in the crisis. They both reproduced pre-existing dynamics, grounded on the tension between provision and withdrawal, and experienced emergent forms of caring masculinities and fatherhood, performed through sharing and reciprocity.

ABSTRACT This article examines Pulitizer prize-winning Indian American writer Jhumpa Lahiri's engagement with masculinity and care-work in The Lowland (2013). Situated in a middle-class Bengali family, the novel revolves around the individualistic aspirations and intellectual motivations of the three main characters – the two brothers Subhash, Udayan and the woman they eventually marry, Gauri. This article first draws attention to the cultural archive of middle-class intellectual Bengali masculinity and then proceeds to delineate Lahiri's inscription of Bengali middle-class masculinity through her specific focus on Subhash's feeling masculinity. Affect theory is considered a necessary heuristic to situate this theoretical examination and further unpack Subhash's complication of reproductive heteronormativity. In doing so, this article also considers the gendered nature of care-work within the Bengali heteronormative family while at the same time positing Subhash's masculinity as a case in point, where naturalised gendered ideas are successfully blurred. By no means representative of all kinds of middle-class Bengali masculinities, this article's focus on Subhash's masculinity mainly situates a road map to theoretically mark heteronormative middle-class masculinity through the lens of affect theory.

ABSTRACT Men die in accidents more frequently than women. However, the statistical facts do not necessarily translate into any self-evident discussion of addressing men and masculinity construction in work with accident prevention. This article draws upon theories of masculinity, affect and haunting in order to discuss social and institutional processes that support a gender-neutral approach to accidents, where the high frequency of men is just something you accept. The analyses are based on observations and interviews with people who work with accident investigation and prevention within the rescue service in Sweden. The article suggests that male vulnerability is reiterated as a haunting phenomenon beyond the responsibility of the rescue service which reproduces masculinity as a form of cruel optimism.
