The Subtleties of Blatant Sexism

This essay examines The Man Show as a contemporary example of blatant sexism. A growing body of feminist criticism documents the emergence of subtle forms of sexism in popular culture. Such forms may be characterized as an accommodation or hegemonic negotiation in which dominant discourses must become flexible in the face of pressure from oppressed groups. Yet blatant sexism abounds in contemporary culture. I argue that The Man Show provides viewers with rhetorical resources to imagine their viewing practices as an act of protest against an imagined dominant female authority, and that those resources potentially allow viewers to accept the sexism of the program at face value.     

Revitalizing the Debate between <Life> and <Choice>: The 2004 March for Women's Lives

The contemporary U.S. debate over abortion has been waged as a battle between <life> and <choice>. The author traces the development of these ideographs, arguing that through their verbal and visual strategies, advocates on both sides of the issue have rendered ideographic meaning concrete. Whereas the fixed definitions have served the cause of <life> well, they have been detrimental for <choice>, leading advocates to seek out ways to revitalize the debate. The 2004 March for Women's Lives was a key event in this larger effort; through it, participants revitalized the abortion debate, bringing renewed flexibility to the ideograph <choice> at the same time it challenged the fixed status, and the veracity, of the ideograph <life>.     

Beyond the Backlash: Sex and the City and Three Feminist Struggles

Much scholarly debate surrounds the extent to which female situation comedies make feminist contributions, particularly in a postfeminist context. While Sex and the City (SATC) can be read as a postfeminist text, this essay aims to recover the show's feminist meanings. To that end, this essay situates SATC within three key feminist struggles—between the individual and the collective, feminism and femininity, and agency and victimization. As Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha face each of these struggles, they often embody complex feminist identities. Exploring these complexities will highlight SATC's participatory elements as they relate to the ongoing feminist project.     

西方女性主义电影主题类型分析

西方女性主义电影文本主题是丰富多样的,诸如表现女性在暴力侵犯下的激烈反抗、女性主体意识的觉醒、在追求自由与解放的过程中建立姐妹情谊以及对传统性别观念的超越等.这些电影中的女性大多不再局限于私人空间,她们都走出家庭投入到风云变幻的社会生活中去,在艰难的境遇中与命运抗争,为理想而奋斗,表现出鲜明的主体性.     

Navigating Socio-Spatial Difference,Constructing Counter-Space: Insights from Transnational Feminist Praxis

Abstract

In recent years, feminist activists have increasingly transnationalized their struggle against local forms of oppression. Our study explores the contentious nature of feminist transnationalism, asking how transnational feminist networks (TFNs) navigate socio-spatial inequalities within their own practices and as a wider social movement. We argue that: (1) TFNs make socio-spatial differences meaningful in part through their constructions of regional, international, and trans-local imaginaries; and (2) TFNs construct resistant feminist counter-spaces through dialogue and strategies aimed at destabilizing dominant structures. Our findings highlight the central role of spatial praxis within transnational feminism.     

看菲茨杰拉德小说中“好女人”的缺失

菲茨杰拉德的小说向我们展示了一个喧嚣的“二十年代”——“爵士时代”,其小说中的时髦女性人物大多是负面形象。本文就时髦女郎负面形象的表现及其成因做了简单的探讨．从中可以看出作者潜在的男权主义倾向。     

论90年代女性个人化写作的困境及其后现代性

90年代女性个人化写作是世纪末中国文坛热点话题之一。这种写作在借鉴西方女性主义的基础上，以它独特的文本对固有的男性权威发起强有力的挑战，从而发出女性自我的声音．因而这种先锋实践是具有一定实际意义的。然而，中西文化的差异、对西方女性主义的表面化理解以及出版等因素都造成了这种写作在短暂繁荣之后的困境：我们是通过女性个人化写作与后现代具有共同点这一全新视角来揭示这种困境的。而这种操作的目的就是希望在对女性个人化写作进行反思之后．建立真正属于中国的女性文学。     

英语中性别歧视的表现与发展趋势

英语中的性别歧视现象较为常见，该现象或隐或显地表现在语言运用的诸多具体场境。随着女权运动的兴起，英语的人环境出现了改观，消极的性别歧视用语逐渐减少。词语的性别中和现象成为社会发展的必然趋势。     

论高等教育中学科专业的性别隔离

学术界关于高等教育中学科专业的性别隔离主要有两种解释:一是生物本质主义的解释,它主要以两性的生理差异和心理差异为认识基础来阐释学科专业中的性别差异;二是女性主义的解释,它认为,学科的性别隔离是社会意识形态、权力系统和利益基础在学科领域的表现,是社会文化建构的结果。女性主义的阐释为解决这一问题提供了新的思路和策略。     

后女性主义与拉康后精神分析理论

后女性主义理论与后精神分析理论之间的联系是国际学术界普遍关注的问题,拉康的后精神分析理论以语言学观念对于女性主义的身体欲望与写作欲望进行调整,把这种欲望的超越引入政治化与社会化的范围。正是这种观念成为后女性主义女性写作对抗男性社会压迫的主旨,对当代后女性主义理论的发展起了重要作用。但也不可忽略后女性主义对于拉康精神分析的批判,这说明二者之间存在依托也拒斥的双重关系。
