Strict Regulation

This paper explores the sexual regulation and the social construction of sexual norms for men and women in the period of 1880 to 1920 in Canada. At this time, sexuality was closely tied with reputation, character, and morality, which required strict regulation of behaviour. With the growth of urban centers, social norms were tested, resulting in what I call an "early dating culture," which was mistaken as "occasional prostitution."  I argue that as “proper” societal norms were tested by the effects of urbanization, there emerged an early dating culture that challenged notions of morality in relation to acceptable and unacceptable public displays of heterosexuality.

In this article I propose to analyze the social construction of youth among the population of Yaxcabá, Yucatán, Mexico, using ethno-history, linguistics and anthropology. I demonstrate the continuity and differences of what it means to be young in Mayan culture, paying attention to the differences and inequalities between men and women, shown by Mayan language and certain social practices and beliefs. I finally analyze what high school students think about what it means to be Maya, to be young and whether or not they conceive themselves as Mayans.

Images Of Women

Sasak song as one form of artistic discourse is used as an instrument of male domination of women in gender relations through various forms of imaging that do not benefit women. The image is understood through the process and mechanism of work of critical discourse analysis. This study aims to reveal the image of women in the Sasak song by discovering the tendency of social construction in gender relations between men and women based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis. Through the position of the Sasak song text, the importance of the text, and the consequences of the text in the social reality of gender relations between men and women, found six images of women in the Sasak song text, namely women as male subordination; women as inferior, resigned women, cheap women, dependent women, and women without choice. As a text, discursive reasoning, and social reality, the results of the study show the tendency to dominate women who give birth to forms of discrimination. The six images of women in Sasak song texts are contained in works of art for the purpose of disguising the tendencies behind artistic elements, so that they are accepted as truth and reasonableness in history inherited between generations.

Affirmative Response

Isu-isu gender di era kontemporer kini marak diusung oleh beberapa tokoh Feminis, salah satunya yakni Amina Wadud. Berangkat dari konstruksi sosial yang dialami semasa hidupnya, dimana perempuan mendapatkan kedudukan di bawah laki-laki, ia memunculnya paradigma baru yang memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan. Salah satu fenomena yang menimbulkan berbagai kontroversi dari pemikiran Amina Wadud yakni pelaksanaan sholat jumat di Amerika Serikat dimana dia menjadi imam sholat bagi jamaah yang terdiri dari laki-laki dan perempuan. Berbagai kritik datang dari beberapa ulama klasik terutama di bidang fikih mengenai hal tersebut. Pada redaksi hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Ummu Waraqah, hadis tersebut dinilai shahih derajatnya. Dalam hal ini, Amina Wadud memberikan tanggapan yang pro terhadap hadis tersebut dengan metodologi yang baru yakni hermeneutika feminisme.Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan analisis hermenutika feminisme yang dikembangkan Amina Wadud Muhsin dimana di dalamnya terdapat penelitian metodologis dan analitis untuk menelisik paradigma yang dibangun oleh Amina Wadud dalam menanggapi hadis tersebut.[On this article refers to issues gender in this contemporary era which is intensely brought by several feminist figures, one of them is Amina Wadud. According to the social construction during her lifetime, when women were subordinated over the man, therefore she brings a new paradigm which is the fight for women’s rights. One of the controversy phenomena from Amina Wadud’s thought is that she performs as imam during Jumah’s prayer for both men and women. Many critics come from several classic ulama, mainly in the fiqh field, concerning about that issue. On the redaction of hadith narrated by Ummu Waraqah, that is included to shahih based on the level. In this case, Amina Wadud gives an affirmative response regarding the hadith with a new methodology, Feminism Hermeneutic. In this observation, the author uses analysis of feminism hermeneutic that developed by Amina Wadud which includes the analytical and methodological observation to know the paradigm used by Amina in hadith.]

Depth Interviews

The aim of this research project was to explore how men and women constructed a sense of self through narrative following an early sexual experience with an adult. Using narrative inquiry methodology, 22 in-depth interviews were conducted in New South Wales, Australia, with 13 women and 9 men ages between 25 and 70. All participants had an early sexual experience at the age of 15 or younger with someone 18 or older. Narrative analysis was used to examine the co-constructed stories that emerged. Participants told four evolving narratives about their experiences: narratives of silence, of ongoing suffering, of transformation, and of transcendence. The gender differences between these narratives have been examined in the light of the literature relating to childhood sexual abuse, the victim and survivor discourses, and the social construction of gender.

Memory Transmission

In this paper, we discuss what role gender plays in remembering, transmitting, and reframing memories of the Armenian Genocide in order to address the question of how young Armenian women negotiate their roles in this process. Centering the societal roles of memory transmission, we employ the specific sociological lens of gender to analyze 26 interviews conducted in Beirut during the week of the official commemorations of the Armenian Genocide in 2016. We define gender as the social construction of a stylized repetition of acts that reflect power relations. Accordingly, the examination of these power relations is necessary not only to understand the experiences and testimonies of men and women, but also the transmission of memory. While understanding Armenian youth as agents of the collective memory, gender allows us to discuss different patterns of remembrance and transmission. We therefore argue that gender influences how individuals remember the Armenian Genocide, as it underpins the (historically) assigned roles of memory and transmission.

This chapter discusses the extensive consideration given to the different roles played by men and women in the commission of crime. Feminist writers first highlighted the fact that most criminologists, in assuming that crime is a male phenomenon, had largely ignored female crime. If it was discussed at all, the focus was on the biological given of sex rather than the social construction of gender. A number of writers have also started to consider the part that different assumptions of male gender roles-‘masculinities’-play in the commission of crime. Different explanations have been offered for the earlier neglect of women’s crime. One reason may be that official criminal statistics have routinely shown that women are convicted of crimes to a far lesser extent than men.

Wollstonecraft used the rationalist and egalitarian ideas of late eighteenth-century radical liberalism to attack the subjugation of women and to display its roots in the social construction of gender. Her political philosophy draws on Rousseau’s philosophical anthropology, rational religion, and an original moral psychology which integrates reason and feeling in the production of virtue. Relations between men and women are corrupted by artificial gender distinctions, just as political relations are corrupted by artificial distinctions of rank, wealth and power. Conventional, artificial morality distinguishes between male and female virtue; true virtue is gender-neutral, consists in the imitation of God, and depends on the unimpeded development of natural faculties common to both sexes, including both reason and passion. Political justice and private virtue are interdependent: neither can advance without an advance in the other.

Theories of the production and everyday use of space to examine the public suicides of young men and women in symbolic public spaces of Mexico City in the first decades of the twentieth century take center stage in Chapter 5. Individuals that whoopted for a public suicide made self-conscious decisions on how they would die, in particular, choosing the sites of their deaths for their personal and cultural meanings. Attempting to construct their selves in their suicides, young women, in particular, employed tropes of honorable death and conformed to a cultural logic of female suicide. They took great pains to choose the site and method of their sacrifice in order to communicate significant meanings through their deaths. Men as wellalso chose specific spaces in the city to author their deaths. Indeed, public suicides were not neutral geographies where life simply transpired. The production and the use of spaces in cities were and are constantly in tension. The people that whodesigned them and moved through them participated in the social construction of those spaces.
