The Subject

Abstract Background : The study explores women’s perception and experience of sexual difficulties and how they are shaped by the male-centred sexual interactions and social norms. The study is part of a work programme guided by a qualitative research design to provide a comprehensive understanding of women’s sexuality. The need to address the subject was triggered by the high prevalence of female sexual problems that are defined based on the standards of sexual function and dysfunction. The multidimensional nature of these problems could not be limited to one single definition. Yet, there is a scarcity of research that reflects on women’s subjective views on sexual difficulties. This is particularly crucial at the middle-age where women undergo hormonal and psychosocial changes that may affect their sexual life. Methods : Using in-depth individual and focus groups interviews, 52 Lebanese women aged 40-55 years discussed their thoughts, feelings and behaviours concerning sexual difficulties. In respect to ethical principles, women were recruited purposefully from clinical and non-clinical settings to get maximum sampling variation that provided rich information and deep understanding of the subject. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and analysed in reference to the framework analysis. Many strategies were adopted to ensure rigour. Results : Women’s narratives led to four themes that provided a comprehensive understanding of sexual difficulties. These are women’s inability to communicate sexual desires and concerns; male-related sexual difficulties; marital conflicts; and sexual difficulties as context bound. Women’s sexual difficulties are driven by double standards and inhibiting sexual socialization in addition to relational and psychosocial burdens. Conclusion : The study makes a unique contribution in voicing women’s views and concerns as sexuality is underreported and poorly researched in Lebanon. It shed light on many aspects of female sexual difficulties that are multifaceted and contextually bound. Findings have implications on education, clinical practice and research. It is particularly important to provide Lebanese women with a culturally sensitive professional assistance, empower them to recognise their sexual-self and get their needs met. More qualitative research about women’s sexual difficulties is warranted to enrich the body of knowledge and promote women’s sexual health and overall wellbeing.

Many strategies were adopted to ensure rigour.Results: Women's narratives led to four themes: women's inability to communicate sexual desires and concerns; male sexual difficulties; marital conflicts; and sexual difficulties as context-bound. Women's sexual difficulties are driven by double standards and inhibiting sexual socialisation. Once married, many women had very challenging sexual experiences. They were obliged to silently bear their husbands' poor sexual performance to protect their masculinity and thus their social image and identity. Women's narratives also showed that marital conflicts, daily life problems as well as physical and psychological burdens further challenged their sexual wellbeing and contributed to their sexual difficulties. Conclusion: The study makes a unique contribution to voicing women's views and concerns as sexuality is insufficiently researched and reported in Lebanon. It emphasises the multidimensional nature of female sexual difficulties, particularly the gender-based norms that inhibit their sexual selves and profoundly affect their sexual wellbeing and capacity to claim their sexual likes and dislikes. Findings have implications on research and practice to help women prevent and overcome their sexual difficulties.

Renowned scholar of qualitative research methods David Silverman delivers an indictment of contemporary qualitative research methods. The book is meant to be an introduction (or “pre - textbook”) to the subject of qualitative research and definitely not a “how - to” manual. In evaluating contemporary qualitative research methods, Silverman’s book primarily focuses on ethnography and conversation analysis. Intentionally personal and biased, Silverman’s plainly - stated goal for this book is to “debunk the accepted understandings” of qualitative research and elicit an interest in the arguments within the field of qualitative inquiry , and he succeeds on both accounts.

This study aims to describe the moderate educational views of the Pondok Pesantren Wali Songo community in Ngabar Ponorogo and their efforts to prevent radical ideology. This is a qualitative research and the subject is the main source of data. The informants are the Kyai (the leader) and the Asâtîdh (the teachers) Council in the Pesantren. The results reveals that the Pesantren Wali Songo designed a curriculum that provided a comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings. For example, the material of fiqh is embedded with uṣûl al-fiqh. In uṣûl al-fiqh, there are rules of istinbâṭ al-ḥukm besides the Quran and hadith such as ijmâ‘, qiyâs, ‘urf, maṣlaḥah al-mursalah, and maqâsid al-sharî‘ah so that fiqh is flexible. In addition, the Pesantren recruited a board of teachers who had moderate understanding and background in kâffah Islamic ideology. Santri (the students) are protected from information access and certain association  which lead to radicalism. In developing moderate Islam, the curriculum there require them to study books that explain the understanding of Islam Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamâ‘ah.

Manuscript Text

The manuscripts of Minangkabau are mostly the collection of surau tarekat scattered in various places in West Sumatera. Some of the surau are always crowded visited by the congregation. Based on that phenomenon, this research is designed to discover and explore the potency of Minangkabau manuscripts that can be developed as a creative industry. Through these manuscripts are expected to provide support for the development of religious pilgrimage tour in West Sumatera which has not been managed properly and maximally until now. The method of the research applied is qualitative research method with three approaches, namely philology, codicology and creative industry. The data were collected through five stages, namely observation, recording and collection of manuscripts, literature studies, interviews and textual criticism. The technique applied in analyzing the data is based on the phenomenology approach to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the subject of the research. This study concludes that through the organization of the manuscripts containing the biographical content of tarekat scholars and their thought can turn the creative industries on, particularly the publishing sector. In addition, through illumination engineering (decoration in the script) can be developed into batik motifs. The publication of the selected manuscript text and the production of illuminated batik manuscripts can be a unique souvenir of religious pilgrimage tours in surau tarekat in West Sumatera.

Professor Elizabeth Adams St. Pierre’s work focuses on critical and poststructural theories of language and the subject and what she has called post qualitative inquiry or post inquiry. She asks what might come after conventional humanist qualitative research methodology. She’s especially interested in the new empiricisms/new materialisms as well as new research practices enabled by the ontological turn. During St. Pierre's visit to the Finnish Educational Research Association (FERA) Conference in Oulu in November 2014, we had the opportunity to talk with her about post qualitative research around some questions we had sent her beforehand. We then transcribed, edited, and translated the interview, and published it in the Finnish journal Kasvatus (Education) in spring 2015. In this interview St. Pierre talks in the US context, where qualitative methodology is turning—or being pushed to turn—back to positivism with normalized and formalized practices, St. Pierre encourages researchers to constantly question the prevailing truths and the traditions they have learnt too well.
