The Veil

This chapter examines how the Muslim question has depicted Islam as the preeminent danger to sex and sexuality. Condemnation of Islam's treatment of women has united conservative Catholics and nostalgic Stalinists, neoliberals and social democrats. However, this rare point of unity among philosophers and politicians does not arise from a profound moment of Western cultural consensus. On the contrary, sex and sexuality in the West remain sites of enduring inequalities and fundamental disagreements. This is the terrain of the cultural wars, and underneath the seeming agreement on Islam, debates over sex and sexuality, equality and the sanctity of the family, the role of women, culture and rights, continue unabated. The chapter considers the veil and what it symbolizes, particularly in relation to sex and sexuality.

The group discussion at March 30, 2018 covers a wide range of problems related to modern sexuality, social norms that regulate it, and the historical circumstances that influenced these norms. In the speeches of the participants, three generations of the sexual revolution in Russia are designated: the generation of the behavioral revolution, the generation of the discursive revolution and the generation of the gender revolution. It considers the Bolshevik gender reforms, expressed in the adoption of laws aimed at changing the role of women in the family and society and changing the basis of relations between men and women due to legislative consolidation of gender equality. The authors point out fundamental differences in the pace and nature of gender modernization in Western countries and in Russia, expressed in the fact that in the West, the consequences of the “sexual revolution” of 1968 significantly changed the behavior of both men and women, in the countries of the Soviet bloc only female roles have changed. It is noted, however, that although men show a growing interest in active fatherhood, women in the majority reserve the right to make all reproductive decisions on their own.

Academic Review

The urgency of exploring the history of the harem is important, not only because of being a rare phenomenon today or no longer in existence but perhaps this work is like opening the pandora’s box, a nightmare for women. This paper is presented as an academic review to portrait the fact that power is always in contact with wealth and attractive women, especially during a period when patriarchy was dominant. Sultan Sulaiman I was in power between 1520 to 1566 AD, in the 16th century AD. In western literature, Sultan Sulaiman was known as Suleyman the Magnificent. The work concludes, first, that the harem to the people of the Middle East in the medieval times was considered respectable for the family, especially for women both in the context of the imperial and domestic harem, where it was constructed in the name of honor, comfort and safety for women. Second, the construction of social, cultural and religious institutions of harem is the integration between the will to protect and maintain the honor of women, the concept of marriage in Islam and the patriarchal system hegemony in the Islamic world particularly in the context of the imperial harem. Third, the role of Sulaiman I who was “brave” to go against the tradition that had been practiced for many years in the Ottoman Empire, a milestone was important for the emancipation of women of the harem. Finally, to respond to the harem tradition, we must be in an impartial position, between the construction of the West and East.

This essay explores the ritual dimension of the formation of Confucian orthodoxy in China from around the fifteenth to the early seventeenth centuries. Recent scholarship on orthodoxy has shown how the civil service examination system bound together hundreds of thousands of educated men with the court in pedagogical practices that effectively regulated what constituted acceptable knowledge of the classics used to legitimate the imperial regime and its policies. Without questioning the central importance of the examinations in the propagation of orthodoxy, in this essay I expand the scope of this problem to consider the role of ritual in reproducing orthodoxy by focusing on the uneasy convergence of the state cult of Kongzi—known in the West as Confucius—with the family cult of his flesh-and-blood descendants.

This paper studies the migration history of the members of a single family, who moved between north Herefordshire and what is now the west Midlands conurbation. The research reported here makes use of oral history and diary evidence to describe the migration decisions made by members of the family, especially in the early and mid twentieth century. It elucidates the role of 'place' and the attraction to particular places in those decisions and provides a case study that exemplifies many of the migration processes which were characteristic of the population of England and Wales at that time.

AbstractA survey of cercariae and metacercariae (Trematoda, Digenea) from bithyniid snails (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) in lake-river systems in Northern Kulunda (of the steppe zone of the West Siberia Plain) is presented. The role of Bithynia tentaculata (Linne, 1758) and Bithynia troscheli (Paasch, 1842) as the first intermediate hosts and as the second intermediate hosts of trematodes in the study area was accomplished for the first time. Twelve species of cercariae (8 families) and 12 species of metacercariae (6 families) were found in bithyniid snails. Altogether, bithyniid snails were infected with 23 trematode species including 16 genera in 11 families. New Cercariae Holostephanus sp. and five original species of trematode metacercariae, were discovered in bithyniid snails of the steppe zone of the West Siberia Plain. The dominant cercariae were those of the families Prosthogonimidae and Lecithodendriidae. The most prevalent metacercariae were Echinoparyphium aconiatum Dietz, 1909 and E. recurvatum Linstow, 1873 (both family Echinostomatidae) and Cyathocotyle bithyniae Sudarikov, 1974 (Cyathocotylidae). B. troscheli infected by trematode parthenitae of Holostephanus sp. was detected in the Russia for the first time.

Stratigraphic Analysis

The Trans-Ural region is located on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains within the boundaries of two physiographic countries – the Ural highlands and the West-Siberian plain, and crosses several natural and climatic zones. About 60 peat-bog sites of the Mesolithic – Early Iron Age period are known in this area. The Eneolithic periodization and chronology is based on a series of 14С dates (4000-2500 BC) obtained from various categories of sources and stratigraphic analysis data. During the Eneolithic period the Trans-Ural population had a mixed economy of the subsistence harvesting type with the core branches of the economy including domestic crafts, stone flaking, pottery, woodworking, bone and metal working, hunting, fishing, and harvesting.

The Impact

The article presents an analysis of economic culture of the Western civilization in the context of its current shape and condition. Although this topic has already been chosen as the subject of research in the past, in this paper the stress is put on those aspects that do not seem to be very popular. To look at the uniqueness of the Western civilization in the context of a globalized world may seem incorrect to some extent, but in our opinion it is still necessary if we want to explore and to discover the sources of unprecedented growth and development that not only the West have benefited from. The article thereby contributes to the field of the research of the impact of culture on the socioeconomic order. The paper therefore seeks to offer an explanation of the specific path that the Western civilization has followed, because it is important in the context of the future dilemmas of global society, which needs to find solutions to its different challenges and problems. Besides discussing the contribution of such recognized authors as Max Weber and Peter L. Berger, the article analyses the role of mediating structures (with special reference to the family) and cultural contradictions which seriously influence the shape and condition of the West these days.
