There’s no doubt about it. A Conference with a single theme is amazingly comforting. If the theme is centred on a group as well known as the Beatles, then it is doubly so. ‘Journalistic texts on popular music are often disposed towards music which they themselves like and would listen to by choice (often thinly veiling race and gender prejudice). This is characterised by their attraction to a certain type of more subversive-seeming, more lyrically and structurally complex music.’ ‘You want a piece of music to encapsulate the period it was written in, and Sgt. Pepper does seem to do that.’ `It was a decisive moment in the history of Western Civilisation.’ Although these somewhat eulogistic reflections were written in the early 1970s, the attraction to the Beatles has continued unabated. Richard Lloyd Perry, writing in The Independent on Sunday, 21 February 1999, observed: ‘Ironically, given their reputation at the time as slurring Scousers, the Beatles are honoured as custodians of linguistic clarity - an observation echoed in many of the papers presented at the Conference.

Ethnicity And Gender

Many U.S. elections provide voters with precious little information about candidates on the ballot. In local contests, party labels are often absent. In primary elections, party labels are not useful. Indeed, much of the time, voters have only the name of the candidate to go by. In these contexts, how do voters make decisions? Using several experiments, we find that voters use candidates’ race, ethnicity, and gender as cues for whom to support—penalizing candidates of color and benefiting women. But we also demonstrate that providing even a small amount of information to voters—such as candidate occupation—virtually erases the effects of candidate demographics on voter behavior, even among voters with high levels of racial and gender prejudice.

Representation of Female Attributes in Chinese ProverbsThe article investigates a the inner and outer attributes of women reflected in Chinese proverbs and b what images and symbols are employed to express them. Each proverb was assessed and classified in terms of female attributes inner and/or outer and connotation positive and/or negative. The sources of the features that underlie the representations of female attributes in Chinese proverbs were found to drawn mostly from traditional national culture, cultural symbolism, and social and gender stereotypes. Social beliefs, ethnic and gender prejudice towards women in Chi­nese society, as well as ethno-cultural information accumulated in the proverbs, were revealed by means of the cultural approach to critical discourse analysis. In detail, inner attributes overweigh outer, i.e., superficial and aesthetic ones, providing a clear moral compass pointing to an ideal fe­male behaviour.
