ABSTRACT This paper aims to explore the growing popularity and consumption of Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu (Originating from Chinese, the Korean term, Hallyu is “Hàn lưu” in Vietnamese and pronounced similarly. During our interviews, we used the latter term, and in our survey we referred to “Korean cultural products”) (Korean Wave) amongst young Vietnamese women and examine its socio-cultural implications. To this end, we used in-depth interviews and a survey questionnaire as the main methods of data collection and endeavored to identify the trends and meaning of young women’s consumption of Hallyu products in Vietnam. Findings suggest that these signify the following: (i) the emergence of a new generation of womanhood in Vietnam and their empowerment as modern consumers who navigate consumer choices and complement information through the use of diverse channels, and (ii) their desire to construct a modern and cosmopolitan femininity and lifestyle underpinned by the changing role and status of women in the country. These findings add to a growing body of literature on the transnational consumption of media and goods as well as on women’s empowerment, especially in developing countries.
本文旨在探讨韩国流行文化的日益流行和消费,韩流在越南年轻女性中被称为韩流(源自汉语,韩语术语,越南语中的“Hàn lưu”发音相似。在我们的采访中,我们使用了后一个术语,在我们的调查中,我们提到了“韩国文化产品”),并考察了其社会文化含义。为此,我们采用深度访谈和问卷调查作为数据收集的主要方法,努力确定越南年轻女性消费Hallyu产品的趋势和意义。研究结果表明,这意味着:(i)越南新一代女性的出现,以及她们作为现代消费者的赋权,她们通过使用不同的渠道来引导消费者的选择并补充信息,以及(ii)她们希望建立一种现代和国际化的女性气质和生活方式,以妇女在该国不断变化的角色和地位为基础。这些发现增加了越来越多关于媒体和商品跨国消费以及妇女赋权的文献,特别是在发展中国家。

ABSTRACT In the absence of proper legislative regulation, women domestic workers in India are vulnerable not just to low wages but are subject to a host of unfair social practices and disrespectful behavior. This is because domestic work is part of deeper and ingrained casteist and patriarchal mores and practices. As such, these workers have to deal with many indignities as part of their employment. This paper attempts to highlight the daily humiliation and physical and mental costs experienced by women domestic workers. By documenting their lived realities at work and their oral narratives, we examine everyday tales of mistreatment, humiliation, mounting social anxiety, and escalating health issues.
在缺乏适当的立法监管的情况下,印度的女性家庭佣工不仅容易受到低工资的影响,而且还受到许多不公平的社会习俗和不尊重的行为的影响。这是因为家务劳动是根深蒂固的种姓制度和父权制习俗的一部分。因此,作为工作的一部分,这些工人不得不面对许多侮辱。本文试图突出女性家政工人每天所遭受的羞辱和身心代价。通过记录他们在工作中的生活现实和他们的口头叙述,我们审视了虐待、羞辱、日益加剧的社交焦虑和不断升级的健康问题等日常故事。

ABSTRACT The issue of inheritance rights in Bangladesh is a debatable one, given the many laws provided in different religions and varied interpretations of these. This study is focused on assessing students’ perceptions about gender equality with respect to inheritance of land. Primary data were collected from university students in Bangladesh using Simple Random Sampling (SRS) technique. Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) was used to assess research outcomes and whether or not the respondents supported women’s equal rights to inherit land. Our results show that female students were more supportive of equal rights to inheritance compared to their male counterparts. We also identify some reasons underlying the varying responses, as in many cases such attitudes were due to the presence of working women in the families of some respondents. In contrast, those who were knowledgeable about Sharia or Islamic laws did not support women’s right to inheritance.
孟加拉国的继承权问题是一个有争议的问题,因为不同的宗教提供了许多法律,对这些法律的解释也各不相同。本研究的重点是评估学生对土地继承方面性别平等的看法。使用简单随机抽样(SRS)技术从孟加拉国的大学生中收集原始数据。使用二元逻辑回归(BLR)来评估研究结果以及受访者是否支持妇女平等的土地继承权。我们的研究结果显示,女生比男生更支持平等继承权。我们还确定了不同反应背后的一些原因,因为在许多情况下,这种态度是由于一些受访者的家庭中有职业妇女。相比之下,那些了解伊斯兰教法或伊斯兰教法的人不支持妇女的继承权。

ABSTRACT Research on women’s leadership has been largely male-centric and has used masculine characteristics to measure and evaluate such roles. This paper aims to unveil women’s leadership in Pakistani universities. Using a feminist perspective, we argue that female academics encounter multiple barriers at work. The data for this paper was collected via in-depth interviews with twelve women leaders from public universities in Islamabad, Pakistan to understand their experiences. Our findings show how our research participants struggled in order to navigate their careers. This paper documents organizational factors such as male-dominated networks, stereotypes and personal factors, for instance, time spent on familial roles that may hamper their positions. Clearly, they encountered constraints in reaching top management levels and sustaining these. However, in order to achieve such positions these women acknowledged the support of family, their high socioeconomic status and effective networking and mentoring relations with peers. The insights gained by this study illustrate how they navigated the male-centric realm of higher education and these should be useful for those who aspire to be leaders. Our research should also offer some potential strategies for closing the gender gap in universities by facilitating women to assume leadership positions.
摘要:关于女性领导力的研究主要以男性为中心,并利用男性特征来衡量和评估这些角色。本文旨在揭示巴基斯坦大学中女性的领导力。从女权主义的角度来看,我们认为女性学者在工作中会遇到多重障碍。本文的数据是通过对巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡公立大学的12名女性领导人的深入采访收集的,以了解她们的经历。我们的研究结果显示了我们的研究参与者是如何在职业生涯中挣扎的。本文记录了组织因素,如男性主导的网络、刻板印象和个人因素,例如,花在家庭角色上的时间可能会阻碍他们的地位。很明显,他们在达到最高管理水平和维持这些水平方面遇到了限制。然而,为了获得这些职位,这些妇女承认家庭的支持、她们的高社会经济地位以及与同龄人的有效网络和指导关系。这项研究获得的见解说明了他们是如何驾驭以男性为中心的高等教育领域的,这些见解对那些渴望成为领导者的人来说应该很有用。我们的研究还应该提供一些潜在的战略,通过促进女性担任领导职位来缩小大学中的性别差距。

ABSTRACT The Presidency of Religious Affairs (the Diyanet) is a unique bureaucratic structure authorized to address the religious service needs of citizens in Turkey’s secular system. For a long time, it was characterized by under-representation of women in its ranks. The longstanding quest of educated religious women for recognition of their expertise and integration into this institution coincided with a policy reorientation in the early 2000s, to expand the Diyanet’s appeal for women through its enlightenment and educational functions. Under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) governments, the issue of gender disparity has been addressed through a new strategy of increasingly recruiting women graduates from Theology faculties. However, despite a ‘feminization’ process undertaken via the pro-women reforms of its organizational structure, the Diyanet’s institutional and political-ideological limitations are intertwined with prevailing gender norms and patriarchal conventions. This article inquires into the gendered dynamics and predicaments that have constrained the status and roles of its women officials and impacted their empowerment prospects. Nevertheless, as women have started to exercise religious authority with men in the Diyanet’s enduring male-dominated structure, the recognition for their expertise, professional commitment, and the potential impact of their work have reinforced the social significance of women’s roles.
宗教事务主席(Diyanet)是一个独特的官僚结构,被授权在土耳其的世俗制度中解决公民的宗教服务需求。长期以来,它的特点是妇女在其队伍中代表性不足。长期以来,受过教育的宗教妇女一直在寻求承认她们的专业知识并融入这个机构,这与21世纪初的政策调整相吻合,即通过其启蒙和教育功能扩大Diyanet对女性的吸引力。在正义与发展党(AKP)政府的领导下,性别差异问题通过一项新战略得到了解决,即越来越多地从神学院招聘女性毕业生。然而,尽管通过对其组织结构的亲妇女改革进行了“女性化”进程,但Diyanet的制度和政治意识形态限制与普遍的性别规范和父权制习俗交织在一起。本文探讨了制约女性官员地位和角色的性别动态和困境,并影响了她们的赋权前景。然而,随着妇女开始在Diyanet持久的男性主导结构中与男子一起行使宗教权威,对她们的专业知识、专业承诺和她们工作的潜在影响的承认加强了妇女作用的社会意义。

Chinese “female force” in an “American Factory”: Women’s identity formation in an English reading club “美国工厂”中的中国“女性力量”:英语读书会中的女性身份形成

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the mediated narratives and identity construction of a reading club of female workers in call centers of multinational corporations in Dalian China, where the discourse of an empowering ‘female force' has been popularized and scrutinized on Chinese social media. These professional workers manage and construct their emerging middle-class identities through embodied experiences and mediated discourses fostered by an English reading club that is both online and offline. Responding to recent critiques of neoliberal feminism in the Chinese context, this study uses a mixed-method approach to unpack the complex processes of these women's identity construction and performance through participatory reading practices. This includes ethnographic participant observation in offline reading club activities, in-depth interviews, and a discourse analysis of mediated narratives on social media (WeChat). We argue that Chinese working women's identity construction and performance are shaped by complex intersections of class, nation, gender and workplace/institutions, where their encounters are in flux, given the changing neoliberal globalization process after China’s four-decade long opening up reform. This study challenges and extends the critique of neoliberal feminism and finds evidence of agency and tactical engagement whereby female workers negotiate their emerging middle-class identities and forge possible solidarities within a networked workplace.
摘要:本文以大连跨国公司呼叫中心女性员工读书会为研究对象,考察“女性力量”赋权话语在中国社交媒体上的普及和审视。这些专业工作者通过具体化的经历和由在线和离线的英语阅读俱乐部培养的中介话语来管理和构建他们新兴的中产阶级身份。针对最近对中国语境下新自由主义女性主义的批评,本研究采用混合方法,通过参与式阅读实践来解读这些女性身份建构和表现的复杂过程。这包括对线下读书会活动的民族志参与者观察、深度访谈以及对社交媒体媒介叙事的话语分析(微信)。我们认为,中国职业女性的身份建构和表现是由阶级、民族、性别和工作场所/制度的复杂交集所塑造的,鉴于中国改革开放四十年后不断变化的新自由主义全球化进程,她们的遭遇是不断变化的。这项研究挑战并扩展了对新自由主义女权主义的批评,并找到了代理和策略参与的证据,在这种参与中,女性工人协商她们新兴的中产阶级身份,并在网络化的工作场所中形成可能的团结。

(Re)visiting the past: Wounded history and traumatized memory in Qurratulain Hyder’s sita betrayed and fireflies in the mist (再)探访过去:库尔拉图兰·海德的《西他被背叛》和《雾中的萤火虫》中受伤的历史和创伤的记忆

ABSTRACT Qurratulain Hyder is a major stalwart of the new generation of Urdu fiction writers. In her book Naya Afsana, she discusses psychologized realism wherein the past gives way to the present. She also depicts how a human being becomes a representation of the collective past via writings of his/her community's collective past. Blurring every possible binary of past/present, home/world, private/public, Hyder’s neo-historical writings not only expose the limitation of her fictional world but also give it a new dimension, unlike contemporary writers who choose to focus on the external realities of the existential crisis of humanity during the early part of the twentieth century. She shows her skill by uncovering the internal realities of human experience. While giving her narratives a historical grounding, she has also made a sensorial reading of the holocaust in her narratives by focusing on the psychological interiors of affected human beings. This paper seeks to study two such fictional expositions of Hyder’s oeuvre—Sita Betrayed and Fireflies in the Mist—in order to understand how these two works help to explore the issues of trauma and memory in the context of the wounded history of partition.
摘要海德尔是新一代乌尔都语小说作家中的中坚力量。在她的书《Naya Afsana》中,她讨论了过去让位于现在的心理现实主义。她还描绘了一个人如何通过书写他/她的社区的集体过去而成为集体过去的代表。海德的新历史作品模糊了过去/现在、家庭/世界、私人/公共的每一个可能的二元性,不仅暴露了她的虚构世界的局限性,而且赋予了它一个新的维度,不像当代作家在20世纪初选择关注人类生存危机的外部现实。她通过揭示人类经验的内在现实来展示自己的技能。在为她的叙述奠定历史基础的同时,她还通过关注受影响人类的心理内部,在叙述中对大屠杀进行了感官解读。本文试图研究海德作品中的两部虚构作品——《被背叛的西塔》和《迷雾中的萤火虫》,以了解这两部作品如何在分裂的创伤历史背景下帮助探索创伤和记忆问题。

This paper seeks to study two such fictional expositions of Hyder’s oeuvre—Sita Betrayed and Fireflies in the Mist—in order to understand how these two works help to explore the issues of trauma and memory in the context of the wounded history of partition.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"258 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1929733","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49424040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Livelihood management is a severe challenge in the coastal area near the Sundarbans mangrove forests of Bangladesh. Human-tiger conflict in the area further complicates the situation and generates a group of women known as tiger widows who have lost their husbands because of attacks by tigers. They are therefore socially stigmatized as cursed and harbingers of bad luck. As a result, the lives of these widows in rural and geographically remote locations are full of suffering and hardships, especially with respect to their being able to manage livelihoods. This article discusses their vulnerabilities and difficult lives in this antagonistic eco-social setting. It also reveals their adoption of different livelihood strategies backed by some NGOs’ development assistance, whereby they become able to secure the survival and well-being of their families. Furthermore, our findings show how the widows have developed capacities to transform their own lives from utter misery to gain socioeconomic stability by fighting patriarchal constraints and also influencing other women to become self-reliant.
摘要孟加拉国孙德尔本斯红树林附近沿海地区的生计管理面临严峻挑战。该地区的人虎冲突使局势进一步复杂化,并产生了一群被称为虎寡妇的妇女,她们因老虎的袭击而失去了丈夫。因此,他们在社会上被污名化为被诅咒和厄运的预兆。因此,这些寡妇在农村和地理偏远地区的生活充满了苦难和苦难,尤其是在她们能够管理生计方面。本文讨论了他们在这种对立的生态社会环境中的脆弱性和艰难生活。它还揭示了他们在一些非政府组织的发展援助的支持下采取了不同的生计战略,从而使他们能够确保家人的生存和福祉。此外,我们的研究结果表明,寡妇们是如何发展能力的,通过对抗父权制的约束,并影响其他女性自力更生,将自己的生活从极度痛苦中转变为社会经济稳定。

From the personal to the political: Young, Filipino, and feminist 从个人到政治:年轻,菲律宾和女权主义者

ABSTRACT The new generation of Filipino feminists, like all young people, not only have characteristics and experiences that are different from those of the older generation, they are also subject to a culture of seniority. As young women who are conscientized about and act against social injustice, they acquire further distinctiveness. Drawing upon semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 29 research participants, I inquire into the critical consciousness and engagements of young Filipino women with feminism. A central finding was their profound and thorough internalization of feminist ideas—not only as praxis, but also as a set of principles and values—which may be viewed to represent young feminist identity within processes of feminist maturation. This study recognizes that broadening and deepening our understanding of young feminists is vital for building and strengthening organizations and the movement and nurturing a veritable inter-generational feminist solidarity.
新一代菲律宾女权主义者和所有年轻人一样,不仅具有不同于老一辈的特征和经历,而且还受到资历文化的影响。作为关注和反对社会不公正的年轻女性,她们获得了进一步的独特性。在与29名研究参与者的半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论中,我探究了菲律宾年轻女性与女权主义的批判意识和参与。一个重要的发现是她们深刻而彻底地内化了女权主义思想——不仅作为实践,而且作为一套原则和价值观——这可能被视为女性主义成熟过程中年轻女性主义身份的代表。这项研究认识到,扩大和加深我们对年轻女权主义者的理解,对于建立和加强组织和运动,培养真正的代际女权主义团结至关重要。
