<p class="p1">This article is using a critical interpretation based on radical feminist theory to analyze the issue of sexual violence against women in Indonesia. Based on data from Komnas Perempuan in 2020, the number of victims of sexual violence is increasing. The root of sexual violence comes from the biological differences between women and men that has been constructed in society. Men are considered to have sexual dominance on women. The existence of sexual politics maintains by the state have taken away women’s authority both in private and public spheres. Using the critical and praxis feminist approach, this article assesses the data research from Komnas Perempuan, especially related to cases of sexual violence. The analysis and criticism of sexual politics in this article also highlights the Draft Law on the Elimination of Sexual Violence. The analysis proves the importance of state involvement in ensuring the lives of Indonesian female citizens, especially concerning protection from sexual violence.</p>

The neo-feminist women, when articulating the private and public spheres, evidenced the sexual violence that was exercised on women. In order to study this movement, it is convenient to make a brief history of the second wave of feminism in Mexico, particularly that of Mexico City, and to explain how its postulates became part of the political agenda.

In this article, the author examines sexual violence against women during a period of mass social conflict and reflects on how this violence continues to affect sexual and political citizenship in modern Indonesia. The demonization and destruction of a particular group of Communist women, known as ‘Gerwani’, during the mass killings of 1965–1966 created an on-going, pathological discourse about politically active women as gendered and sexual ‘others’ in Indonesia. The reconfiguration of bodies through sexual violence during that period continues to shape gender ideology and sexual politics in Indonesia, particularly through the prescription of more traditional, heteronormative roles for women’s political participation. This negative association with sexuality and sexual violence affects the possibilities for women’s active citizenship in post-New Order Indonesia, and renders it difficult for women to claim sexual autonomy or sexual citizenship.

Politicians all over Europe used to write about their lives, and keep doing so. Like other well-known persons they are “unusual biographical subjects”, because the biographical activity concerning their lives often starts while they are still alive. (Frank 1999). On the one hand, classical autobiographies written by politicians themselves (and their co-authors or ghost-writers) are published widely and are not only an important part of the memory politics and the construction of national history, but also a contribution to the stabilization of gender conceptions.(Depkat 2014, p .247-265; Ulbrich, Jancke and Bosch 2013, p. 5). Often the (auto)biographers intend to contribute to political and historical analyses. On the other hand, life writing has changed and diversified rapidly during the 20th century. The widespread desire for authenticity and truth seems to be enormous, so we can see a process of democratization, including  a change of the concepts of private and public spheres. Nowadays everybody is entitled to present his or her life in public.(Ulbrich, Jancke and Bosch 2013, p.5). Life writing took place not only in hard copy, but in many different media, like radio, film, tv, blogs, facebook and other new social media. So it seems a good moment to look at the (auto)biographies and memoirs in the political area during the 20th and the beginning of the 21th century.

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the process of forming the Draft Law on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU Elimination of KS) from the perspective of Islamic law and analyze the political configuration in the formation of the law. The method used is descriptive analysis with the type of normative-empirical research. This method is considered able to answer all the main problems in this study. The results show that, in Islamic law a leader is obliged to maintain the soul, mind, dignity and worth of his people. Islam does not justify violence against women, Islam commands that every human being can give love and affection to women without violence as stated in QS. Ar-Rum (30): 21. To prevent sexual violence against women and uphold moral values, the leader must form a regulation as a form of responsibility from a leader to his people. These regulations must be obeyed and implemented by all his people, this is explained in (QS. An -Nisa, (04); 59. In the formation of the Draft Law on the Elimination of KS, there was a tug of war. Since 2016 until now, the Bill on the Elimination of KS has been in and out of the National Legislative Council (Prolegnas) however, until now it has not been ratified for various reasons given until it was clashed with religious beliefs The ratcheting up of the ratification of the KS Abolition Bill shows the reluctance of the legislature to provide legal protection to the public.Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses pembentukan Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Penghapusan Kekerasan Seksual (RUU Penghapusan KS) ditinjau dari perspektif hukum Islam dan menganalisis konfigurasi politik dalam pembentukan Undang-Undang tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian normatif-empiris yang dianggap mampu menjawab semua pokok permasalahan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam hukum Islam seorang pemimpin wajib menjaga jiwa, akal, harkat dan martabat dari rakyatnya. Islam tidak membenarkan adanya kekerasan terhadap perempuan, Islam memerintahkan agar setiap manusia dapat memberikan kasih dan sayang kepada perempuan tanpa adanya kekerasan sebagaimana tertuang dalam QS.Ar-Rum (30):21. Untuk menjaga agar tidak adanya kekerasa seksual terhadap perempuan dan menjunjung tinggi nilai moralitas, maka pemimpin harus membentuk suatu peraturan sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab dari seorang pemimpin kepada rakyatnya. Peraturan tersebut wajib dipatuhi dan dilaksanakan oleh semua rakyat­nya, hal ini dijelaskan dalam (QS. An-Nisa, (04);59. Dalam pembentukan RUU  Penghapusan KS terjadi tarik ulur. Sejak tahun 2016 hingga saat ini, RUU  Penghapusan KS telah berapa kali keluar masuk Prolegnas, namun sampai saat ini belum kunjung disahkan dengan berbagai alasan yang diberikan sampai dibentrokan dengan keyakinan agama. Tarik ulur pembahasan RUU Penghapusan KS menunjukan, keengganan dari badan legislatif dalam memberikan payung hukum kepada masyarakat.

Post-Unification Gender Dissonances and Ideological Counter-Discourse in Capuana’s Rassegnazione

The article offers a (re)reading of Capuana’s often neglected novel Rassegnazione (1907), which revolves around the notion of gender-based violence as a central thematic trope. My reading illustrates Capuana’s deployment of the theme of femminicidio as a narrative tool through which to develop a counter-discursive strategy, aimed at exposing the oppressiveness of a patriarchal social system in post-unification Italy. By emphasizing the sophisticatedly philosophical, Hegel-based argument through which Rassegnazione unveils the inherent masculinism of both the private and public spheres in Capuana’s times, the essay contributes to reassessing not only the novel itself but also the long-lasting debate on Capuana’s alleged lack of social impegno and/or his equally alleged reactionary conservatism. The essay first contextualizes the debate on Capuana’s (dés)engagement (1.1), and illustrates how Rassegnazione fits into this critical landscape (1.2). Subsequently, by drawing on a range of scholars including Terdiman (1985) and Valisa (2014) as well as recent feminist and gendered rereadings of Hegel, it postulates and discusses the coexistence, in the novel, of two intertwined, yet colliding ideological discourses: one, which is aligned to the paternalistic gender and sexual politics promoted by mainstream conservative elites in liberal Italy (2.1); and the other, which offers a dissonant and highly critical perspective by highlighting the incoherence and systemic fallacies embedded in the dominant narrative (2.2). The essay ends with a reflection on how Capuana’s philosophically-informed counter-discourse may be understood, à la Jameson, as one way in which symbolic resistance occurs in the intellectual production of post-unification Italy.

Violence against women on college campuses continues to be a pervasive public health problem with approximately one in five women experiencing sexual assault and one in nine women experiencing rape while in college. The current study examined relationship and sexual violence among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I universities. Based on previous research, Division I universities seem to report higher rates of sexual assault, but within-group differences have yet to be examined. The data include 1422 four-year private and public institutions with at least 1000 students who submitted Clery data (2014) on rape, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. Division I campuses reported significantly higher reports of violence against women compared to Division II, III, and universities with no athletic programs. There were no differences in violence reported across the three subdivisions within Division I, however, certain conferences reported significantly higher relationship and sexual violence within the football bowl and football championship subdivisions. These findings have important implications for targeting higher risk campuses, such as the Big 10, Big 12, Ivy League, Pac-12, and SEC with much needed sexual assault prevention programs.

While ties between Cambodian diasporas and Cambodia have been significant and enduring over the decades of conflict, the political changes engendered by the internationally endorsed elections of 1993 have transformed the scope and characteristics of the transnational traffic. Shaped by complex ideological, class, gender, and generational dynamics, Cambodian diasporas’ re-engagement with the ancestral homeland has since acquired a multidimensionality that extends beyond mere monetary remittance. Spanning both private and public spheres, from national to household levels, these transnational encounters necessarily dislodge the narrow analytic focus and assumptions that accompany much of the discourse of transnationalism, and interrogate critical issues of nationalism, citizenship, and belonging.

Media Performance

One of the main challenges of studying journalistic roles in social media practice is that the profession’s conceptual boundaries have become increasingly blurred. Social media has developed as a space used by audiences to consume, share, and discuss news and information, offering novel locations for journalists to intervene at professional and personal levels and in private and public spheres. This article takes the “journalistic ego” domain as its starting point to examine how journalists perform three specific roles on social media: the promoter, the celebrity, and the joker. To investigate these roles in journalistic performance, the article situates their emergence and operationalization in a broader epistemological context, examining how journalists engage with, contest, and/or diverge from different professional norms and practices, as well as the conflict between traditional and social media-specific roles of journalists.
