Holistic Method

Gender is a social construction of what is called masculine and feminine and the division of social roles. Hermeneutics is an alternative approach to understand the Qur'anic text. This study aims to analyze Amina Wadud's hermeneutics of interpreting the texts of the Qur'an on gender issues. The data presented comes from the references from a variety of relevant sources—the method of critical analysis conducted to explore Amina Wadud. Personal, family, intellectual, and cultural background cannot be separated from her thoughts on gender issues. He said that there were no truly objective interpreters. Indirectly, she was included in the statement. Therefore, she proposed a holistic method to reduce excessive interpreter subjectivity in understanding texts, especially gender issues. The Hermeneutics stands on the analysis of language, history, and contextualization. Amina's hermeneutics is influenced by the thoughts of Fazlur Rahman and Gadamer. الجندر هو بناء اجتماعي لما يسمى الذكوري والأنثوي وتقسيم الأدوار الاجتماعية. التأويل هو منهج بديل لفهم النصوص القرآنية. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل تأويلات أمينة ودود لتفسير نصوص القرآن في قضايا النوع الاجتماعي. وتأتي البيانات المقدمة من المراجع المتنوعة ومن مجموعة متنوعة من المصادر ذات الصلة - طريقة التحليل النقدي التي أجريت لاستكشاف أمينة ودود. لا يمكن فصل الخلفية الشخصية والعائلية والفكرية والثقافية عن أفكارها حول قضايا النوع الاجتماعي. وقالت إنه لم يكن هناك مفسرون موضوعيون حقا. وبغير مباشرة ، كانت هي في تلك الحالة. لذلك، اقترحت طريقة شاملة للحد من الذاتية المفرطة للمفسرين في فهم النصوص، وخاصة قضايا الجنسين. يقف علم التأويل على تحليل اللغة والتاريخ والسياق. تتأثر تأويلات أمينة بأفكار فضل الرحمن وجادامر.Gender merupakan konstruksi sosial dari apa yang disebut maskulin dan feminin serta pembagian peran sosial. Kajian tentang isu gender seringkali merujuk kepada posisi perempuan yang tersubordinasi atau sebaliknya, menempatkan perempuan melampau kodratnya. Bagaimana cara memposisikannya di tempat yang tepat? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hermeneutika Amina Wadud dalam menafsirkan teks Alquran tentang isu gender. Data yang disajikan berasal dari berbagai sumber yang relevan — metode analisis kritis yang dilakukan untuk mendalami ide Amina Wadud. Ia menegaskan bahwa latar belakang pribadi, keluarga, intelektual, dan budaya tidak lepas dari pemikirannya tentang isu gender. Selain itu, tidak ada penafsir yang benar-benar objektif. Secara tidak langsung, dia termasuk dalam pernyataan penafsir yang tidak benar-benar objektif. Ia mengusulkan metode holistik untuk meminimalisir subjektivitas dan egoisme penafsir yang berlebihan dalam memahami teks, khususnya masalah gender. Hermeneutika berdiri di atas analisis bahasa, sejarah, dan kontekstualisasi. Hermeneutika Amina dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran Fazlur Rahman dan Gadamer.

Men's subordination towards women still exists in public, social, political, economic as well as cultural areas. Consequently, that kind of social construction negates the representative of women's right due to fear of the present of women's body which trespasses religious and social norms. In fact, any religion and humanity refuse such kinds of discriminition or intimidation towards women.  Harassment towards women can be analized through social, moral, emotional, motivational as well as consept of personality  perspectives. As the alternative solution for aforementioned problems, efforts can be taken such as reinterpreties religious doctrines based on gender perspective, criticizies sexism myths, socializies gender equality to the society and establish the institution concerning gender issues.

The Ideal

Gender issues are still a topic that is often discussed in society. Gender is related to the social construction of the division of activities between women and men. Along with the development of times there are many assumptions that say that women still accept injustice and are still discriminated against so that many are demanding gender equality for women. In the Qur'an many verses describe justice and equality between women and men in their responsibilities and carrying out their role, but there are still many people who do not understand the contents of the verses in question. The public or broad audience needs to understand gender construction in this Islamic perspective to be able to realize the ideal gender construction in life, especially in the context of Islamic society.

The first part of Dual Penal State investigated various ways in which criminal law doctrine and scholarship (or “science”) have failed to address the challenge of legitimating penal power in a modern liberal democratic state. This, second, part explores an alternative approach to criminal law discourse that puts the legitimacy challenge of modern penal law front and center: critical analysis of criminal law in a dual penal state. Dual penal state analysis differentiates between penal law and penal police, two conceptions of penal power, and state power more generally, rooted in autonomy, equality, and interpersonal respect, on one hand, and in heteronomy, hierarchy, and patriarchal power, on the other. Chapter 4 applies the distinction between law and police as fundamental modes of governance set out in Chapter 3 to the penal realm and explores the tension between penal law and penal police as constituting the dual penal state.

Gender equality laws have existed in public administration in Germany since 1998. These laws specify the constitutional requirement of gender equality on the basis of article 3(2) of the German Constitution. Considering the background of present discussions in Germany concerning inclusion and diversity in public administration, this article analyses possibilities to address intersectional discrimination, including racial discrimination and discrimination based on different socio-economic backgrounds. Therefore, the following critical analysis focuses on possible intersectional approaches in German gender equality laws. The article presents the primary existing constitutional provisions and simple legal rulings, while also taking a ‘de lege ferenda’ perspective. To this end, the article suggests concrete wording for new legislation and for the amendment of existing laws.

Over the past several years, despite the constant evolution of the legislation the problem of gender equality in the West has been steadily increasing. What is the reason why there is no significant progress in solving gender equality issues in the West yet? Several reports and researches have pointed out to this problem. On the contrary, Islam provides a viable solution to this ever increasing problem; for Islam has a comprehensive yet simple view of gender equality. But the West, instead of understanding Islamic principles objectively, raises objections without a thorough study. However, the Western principle of gender equality has completely failed. In this article a critical analysis of the western gender equality and Islamic principles has been carried out. It also highlights Islamic view point of gender equality. The study argues that the contemporary gender equality problems and issues that have engulfed the world particularly the Western countries can be mitigated by employing the Islamic principles of gender equality

Anonymity, Mineness, and Agent Specificity: Pragmatic Normativity and the Authentic Situation in Heidegger’s Being and Time

Alternative Approach

“California Heideggerianism,” as developed in the 1980‘s by Dreyfus, Haugeland, and Guignon, interprets Heidegger’s notion of the Anyone in Being and Time as a pattern of social normativity that establishes the contours of Dasein’s self-understanding and world. Specifically, the Anyone maintains a reservoir of “anonymous” or “generic” social roles, and individual cases of Dasein understand themselves by throwing themselves into one or several such social roles. Thus, the content of Dasein’s self-understanding is circumscribed by those possibilities of living on offer from Anyone. I argue that this reconstruction of the role of the Anyone is neither phenomenologically plausible nor exegetically required. To develop an alternative approach, I analyze the pragmatic normativity of those situations in which Dasein is called upon to deviate from everyday social norms. I draw upon Haugeland’s reconstruction of the phenomenon of conscience in Being and Time, which I argue can lead us to a conception of authentic self-understanding in which the content of self-understanding is neither some utterly novel and unprecedented form of originality nor provided by anonymous social norms. Rather, this owned content is the product of specifying impersonal possibilities of self-understanding that reside in the background culture in which one lives.

This introduction outlines the main theoretical, methodological, and empirical goals of the book, which are argued in more detail (and with more references) in later chapters. It explains how visual images need to be appreciated not just in terms of their ideological-value, but also in terms of their affect-work: not just what they mean, but also how they make us feel, both as individuals and as collectives. It outlines the book’s original analytical framework, which juxtaposes (1) the social construction of visual meaning with (2) the visual provocation of social orders, world orders, and “affective communities of sense.” It introduces the image/artifact distinction to explain why the book looks at both images (photographs, films, and art) and artifacts (maps, veils, walls, gardens, and cyberspace). Since much critical analysis is dominated by deconstructions of “Western” visual images, the introduction starts to examine how visuals from Asia and the Middle East challenge our understanding of international politics. It concludes with a summary of what the chapters cover.

The Analects

AbstractKorean Confucianism has been described as “the enemy of feminism”: feminists often argue that Confucianism is the source of the patriarchal society. Feminist scholars have produced significant works about Confucianism's role in preserving the idea of women's subordination to men; they argue that the idea of men's superiority to women is embedded in Confucian philosophy. In this article I will examine whether Confucian philosophy is responsible for women's subordination to men in such Confucian texts as Naehun, The Book of Change, The Book of Poetry, and The Analects. Naehun was written by the mother of King Sǒngjong in 1475, for the purpose of the Confucian education of Korean women; I will look also at other, related, Confucian texts used for Korean women's education. Confucian classics such as The Book of Change, The Book of Poetry and Confucian Analects will be included in the analysis to investigate whether Confucianism legitimizes women's subordination tomen. In the analysis of these Confucian classics, I will focus on the ongoing debate between scholars of Confucianism and feminism in Korea today.
