Female Condition

Desde que en 1921 la firma de María Luz Morales irrumpe en el diario La Vanguardia, del que llegará a ser di­rectora durante unos meses en 1936, aparece como una de las primeras mu­jeres que trabajan en la redacción de un periódico en España. En estos prime­ros años, publica en el diario barcelo­nés diferentes tipos de artículos. Entre ellos, y desde su mismo debut, desta­can algunos dedicados a la “condición femenina”, en los que se vislumbra un esfuerzo para que la mujer no se recluya en el entorno doméstico y acceda libre y habitualmente a la cultura, a la educa­ción, al mundo laboral y, con todo ello, a la libertad de expresión. Esta posición se complementa con otra que tiene que ver con la maternidad, para la que reclama una serie de valores que considera femeninos: la ternura, el amor y la imaginación. Morales reclama una infancia sin el rigor de la obediencia y la disciplina, armada más bien de creativi­dad y cultura. En conjunto, la periodista defiende en sus artículos una feminidad activa y culta, independiente, conserva­dora y con un fuerte activismo social que, sin embargo, rechazaba las etiquetas. La primera, ser considerada feminista. The Vision of Women and Femininity in María Luz Morales’ Articles Published in ‘La Vanguardia’ (1921-1936) When María Luz Morales’s byline ap­peared in 1921 in the newspaper La Vanguardia, of which she would be the editor for a few months in 1936, she be­came one of the first women to work in the newsroom of a newspaper in Spain. In those first years, she published diffe­rent types of articles in La Vanguardia. From the very first, some articles dealing with the “female condition” stand out. In these, there is a discernible appeal for women not to enclose themselves in the domestic environment and to have free and regular access to culture, to education, to the workplace and, con­sequently, to freedom of expression. This stance is complemented by another related to motherhood, for which she claims a series of values that she con­siders feminine: tenderness, love, and imagination. Morales appeals for a childhood without the rigor of obedience and discipline, built rather on creativity and culture. On the whole, the journalist defends in her articles a femininity which is active and cultured, independent, conservative and with a strong social activism that nevertheless rejects labels. The first: to be considered a feminist.

The Social

The Los Angeles Plaza Community Center (PCC), an early twentieth-century Los Angeles community center and clinic, published El Mexicano, a quarterly newsletter, from 1913 to 1925. The newsletter’s reports reveal how the PCC combined walk-in medical visits with broader efforts to address the overall wellness of its attendees. Available records, some with occasional clinical details, reveal the general spectrum of illnesses treated over a twelve-year span. Placed in today’s context, the medical care given at this center was simple and minimal. The social support it provided, however, was multifaceted. The center’s caring extended beyond providing medical attention to helping with education, nutrition, employment, transportation, and moral support. Thus, the social determinants of health (SDH), a prominent concern of present-day public health, was a concept already realized and practiced by these early twentieth-century Los Angeles Plaza community leaders. Such practices, although not yet nominally identified as SDH, had their beginnings in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century social activism movement aiming to mitigate the social ills and inequities of emerging industrial nations. The PCC was one of the pioneers in this effort. Its concerns and successes in this area were sophisticated enough to be comparable to our current intentions and aspirations.

Self Immolation

Over the last few decades there has emerged a small, yet influential eco-Buddhism movement in South Korea which, since the turn of the millennium, has seen several S?n (J. Zen) Buddhist clerics engage in high-profile protests and activism campaigns opposing massive development projects which threatened widespread ecological destruction. This article will survey the issues and events surrounding three such protests; the 2003 samboilbae, or ‘threesteps- one-bow’, march led by Venerable Suky?ng against the Saemangeum Reclamation Project, Venerable Jiyul’s Anti-Mt. Ch?ns?ng tunnel hunger-strike campaign between 2002 and 2006, and lastly Venerable Munsu’s self-immolation protesting the Four Rivers Project in 2010. This article will additionally analyze the attempts by these clerics to deploy innovative and distinctively Buddhist forms of protest, the effects of these protests, and how these protests have altered public perceptions of the role of Buddhist clergy in Korean society. This study will additionally highlight issues relevant to the broader discourse regarding the intersection of Buddhism and social activism, such as the appropriation of traditional Buddhist practices as protest tactics and the potential for conflict between social engagement and the pursuit of Buddhist soteriological goals.

The Ideal

How should a liberal democracy respond to hate groups and others that oppose the ideal of free and equal citizenship? The democratic state faces the hard choice of either protecting the rights of hate groups and allowing their views to spread, or banning their views and violating citizens' rights to freedoms of expression, association, and religion. Avoiding the familiar yet problematic responses to these issues, this book proposes a new approach called value democracy. The theory of value democracy argues that the state should protect the right to express illiberal beliefs, but the state should also engage in democratic persuasion when it speaks through its various expressive capacities: publicly criticizing, and giving reasons to reject, hate-based or other discriminatory viewpoints. Distinguishing between two kinds of state action—expressive and coercive—the book contends that public criticism of viewpoints advocating discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation should be pursued through the state's expressive capacities as speaker, educator, and spender. When the state uses its expressive capacities to promote the values of free and equal citizenship, it engages in democratic persuasion. By using democratic persuasion, the state can both respect rights and counter hateful or discriminatory viewpoints. The book extends this analysis from freedom of expression to the freedoms of religion and association, and shows that value democracy can uphold the protection of these freedoms while promoting equality for all citizens.

AbstractBeginning with the establishment of a Supreme Commission for Tourism and Antiquities’ (SCTA) in 2000, there have been official attempts by the government of Saudi Arabia to encourage domestic tourism in order to tap into the huge amounts that Saudis spend annually on vacations. This paper examines the motivations and attitudes of consumers toward tourism destinations and activities within the country (domestic tourism). Using data collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire, the study finds that familiarity and trust of the local environment, perceptions of the safer domestic environment, and limitations imposed by respondents’ vacation timing are the primary motives for choosing to spend their vacations locally, while lack of quality domestic tourist sites and services (including entertainment facilities), lack of tourism information, insufficient tourism organization services, and the harsh local environmental conditions during summer are factors that ‘push’ people from spending the vacations locally. Attitudes toward domestic tourism are generally negative, although there are significant differences in attitudes between respondents who prefer domestic destinations and those who prefer to travel out of Kingdom. Implications of the findings are outlined and discussed.
