Este artículo consta esencialmente de dos partes. La primera constituye una breve revisión del papel de la mujer en la sociedad y en el arte a través del arte textil. En ella se analiza cómo la actividad textil tuvo gran influencia en la incorporación de la mujer en el mundo laboral y cómo el fenómeno de la incorporación de la mujer al mundo laboral se produce de modo paralelo a su incorporación al mundo del arte y a la valoración del arte textil. Revisaremos algunos ejemplos de las artistas que han empleado o emplean el lenguaje textil para expresarse en el terreno artístico como afirmación de su identidad femenina. En segundo lugar, expondré los principales aspectos de mi propia investigación en el campo del arte textil, por medio de la técnica que denomino “Collage cosido”. Las obras realizadas con esta técnica tienen las características propias del collage ya que ensamblan distintos elementos, pero además se unen cosiéndolos. De este modo, puntada a puntada, se reproducen las líneas propias del dibujo. Así se aúnan las características de la pintura o dibujo tradicional con el arte contemporáneo y la expresión de la mujer desde la perspectiva de género. This article consists essentially of two parts: the first part is a brief review of the role of women in society and in the textile art. In that, it is analyzed how the textile activity had a great influence in the incorporation of the woman in the labor world and how this phenomenon occurs in parallel to her incorporation into the world of art and the valuation of textile art. We will review some examples of artists who have used or use the textile language to express themselves in the artistic field as an affirmation of their feminine identity.In the second part, I will expose the main aspects of my own research in the field of textile art though the technique, I call “Sewn collage” the works made with this technique have the characteristic of the collage since they assemble different elements but also join them by stitch, the proper lines of the drawing are reproducer. The characteristic of the painting or traditional drawing are combined with the contemporary art andthe expression of the woman from the perspective of the gender.

Role Of Women

Previously, women have played an important role in the development of Sufism. Sufi tradition recognizes the unity of being, regardless of the gender duality of the world. The recognition of this doctrine contributed to the spiritual development of women in Sufism. Sufi women play an important role in tariqah. The study of the female Sufi experience, as well as the influence that women had on the Sufi worldview and Sufi practice, is not only valuable from a cultural and historical point of view, but also helps to better understand the place and role of women in Muslim society. In this regard, the article is devoted to the role of women in modern Sufi groups in the world and in Kazakhstan. Famous women-Sufis in history, modern female Sufi organizations in the world and participation of women in modern Kazakhstani tariqas will be considered. The aim is to examine Sufi organizations through the prism of female actors. The materials of the article are based on data from open information and academic sources. Also on field research of Sufi groups in Kazakhstan and Turkey from 2016 to the current period.

This chapter examines the role of gender in democracy and democratization. It first considers how gender figures in definitions of democracy, noting that while women may appear to be included in definitions of democracy, they are often not included in practice. It then explores women’s democratic representation, making a distinction between formal, descriptive, and substantive representation. Women’s formal political representation is highlighted by focusing on the fight for women’s suffrage, whereas women’s descriptive representation is illustrated with detailed information on women’s political participation around the world. Finally, the chapter discusses the role of women in recent democratization movements around the world.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the meaning, in both local and international context, of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB), the first international exhibit of contemporary art in India. Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF), which administers the KMB, identifies art as a means for transforming society, with a mission to bring global contemporary art to India and to present India’s modern art to the world. The authors further investigate the role of government sponsorship and corporate patronage in funding the KMB, and investigate how resistance through art is key to the KMB’s identity. Design/methodology/approach This study focuses primarily on published materials relating to the KMB. One of the authors attended the 2016 KMB and interviewed fellow attendees. Additionally, the authors reviewed and assessed social media postings regarding the 2016 KMB. Findings The authors argue that government sponsorship and corporate patronage are never solely about political or financial power. Rather, a generalized reciprocity among the three entities – corporations, the government and the artists – allows the KMB to flourish. For the artists involved, the KMB, co-founded by activist artists, sustains interest in and awareness of resistance. Originality/value Extant literature on biennales is sparse on ways in which these exhibits extend their impact beyond the art world. The authors examine issues such as India expanding its position on the world stage through art, and the implications of political resistance embraced by Indian artists on future directions for the KMB, that have heretofore been unaddressed.

New Political Science

Tocqueville says that the superiority of American women is the chief cause of the power and prosperity of American democracy. That superiority is the result of an education that treats women as capable of freedom, but the use of that freedom is to maintain the bonds that restrict women to the household. The present article examines the role of the family and women in the new political science Tocqueville thought necessary for the defence of democratic liberty. It is argued that as the primary influence of democracy upon the family for Tocqueville has been to eliminate the authority of fathers who were the “arbiters of mores” and thereby the defenders of liberty in aristocracy, so democratic liberty depends for him above all upon the new role of women as the makers of mores. Through the agency of women, otherwise fragile religion constitutes an effective limit to the authority of the majority, but what makes it possible for religion to operate through women is their exclusion from the world of commerce, and what maintains this exclusion is the strict conjugal morality that women themselves defend in America. How far the role of women as guardians of democratic liberty might be justified is shown to depend for Tocqueville upon arguments for it that are other than those commonly accepted by American men.

The subject of this research is the yet poorly studied topic of representation of the female images in military media sources, namely movies and TV series of the 2010s. The choice of sources is substantiated by the new approaches towards delivery of information, new characters and patterns that correspond to the modern media trends; as well as by a wide range of projects timed to the centenary of the World War I. The key tasks of this article lie in determination of the role of women and characteristics of female images in a number of movies and TV shows of the 2010s about the World War I. The author carries out a comparative analysis of reflection of the Western and Russian cinematography associated with the representations on the gender hierarchy that is seen through interaction between men and women in the material under review. The article reveals the main patterns that are most commonly used for describing the role of women in war. The conclusion is made that a certain variety of female images that have recently appeared in cinematography indicates the interest of historians and researchers dealing with memory, gender, media and visual culture. The comparative analysis of sources demonstrated that the representation of female images in movies of the 2010s about the World War I reflects a certain difference in the officially broadcasted sociocultural and ideological perception of women and their role characteristic to modern Russian and Western society. The Russian movies are oriented towards expressing the official state concept of traditional values and women's affiliation to family and the country; while Western movies create the images typical for their cultural reality, which do not neglect the role of wives and mothers, however allow the heroines to transcend family interests.

Arte Contemporáneo

Como una reunión simbólica de conciencia, toda gran obra de arte es un apocalipsis silencioso que, con sus significativas impresiones o interacciones, puede llegar a transformar la estructura social. Transfigurando el mundo mediante sus espacios de representación, es capaz de adquirir una capacidad profética que denuncia situaciones a fin de, como en el caso específico aquí ofrecido, reestablecer el equilibrio de los ecosistemas degradados por la huella que el ser humano ha impreso sobre ellos. Esta misma impronta antropocénica, auspiciada por la idea de progreso que confiere la utopía del crecimiento ilimitado propuesta por el sistema capitalista, paradójicamente podría llevar al ser humano a asistir al fin de su propia especie. Por esta razón, parte del arte contemporáneo lleva tiempo sumamente preocupado en concienciar a la sociedad y, así, frenar la llegada de un catastrófico escenario futuro. Debido a la urgencia de esta acuciante situación, se abordan diversas denuncias establecidas en las prácticas artísticas para cambiar la actitud de sus espectadores. Para ello, se proponen aquí dos vertientes: la de obras que muestran escenarios distópicos y la de otras más activistas que tratan de atajar la situación desde entornos concretos. As a symbolic gathering of conscience, every great artwork is a silent apocalypse that, with its significant impressions or interactions, can transform the social structure. Transfiguring the world through its spaces of representation, it is capable of acquiring a prophetic capacity that denounces situations in order to, as in the specific case offered here; restore the balance of ecosystems degraded by the footprint that human beings have printed on them. This same anthropocenic imprint, sponsored by the idea of progress that confers the utopia of unlimited growth proposed by the capitalist system, paradoxically could lead the human being to attend the end of his own species. For this reason, part of contemporary art has been extremely concerned about raising awareness in society and, thus, curbing the arrival of a catastrophic future scenario. Due to the urgency of this pressing situation, we complaints various complaints established in artistic practices to change the attitude of its spectators. To do this, we proposed two aspects here: that of works that show dystopian scenarios and that of other more activists which try to tackle the situation from specific environments.
