The objective of this article is to trace the participation of women in the historical sequence of the main milestones of origin and evolutionary development of the Coordinadora Arauco Malleco from the category "body-space/time-territory", approached by the philosopher Francesca Gargallo The subject of study are the bodies located in a space-time that takes place in the surroundings of Lake Lleu Lleu, the axial geopolitical space where, from the Mapuche shamanic perspective, more than 30 years ago the spirit of thunder revived the power and violence of the ancient warriors of theweichan. Two generations of women exposed their bodies in the struggle to recover a liberated territory, transgressing cultural mandates and bearing the costs of confronting the State with prison and a fugitive life. However, the protagonism of women linked to the CAM has been silenced by traditional historiography as well as by the hegemonic masculine discourse of the Coordinadora itself. The becoming militant of women constitutes a complex plot that includes displacement of gender roles in the Mapuche culture and a transition from the political militancy of the weichafe to auxiliary spiritual roles of the machi such as tayilfe, curiche and dungumachife.

The main objective of this article is to make the female voice heard in an area of the world where women are discriminated against and prejudiced, despite the progress made regarding their status in status in society. The aim is to demonstrate that the translation of the male discourse produced undergoes fundamental transformations that are the result of choices studied by the translator. She intervenes She intervenes and rewrites the text in her own way, even in the way that allows her to represent herself as a full human being in her own right, not relegated to the background. Through the analysis of samples taken from the work of the Algerian thinker Malek Bennabi “Les conditions de la renaissance” as well as the questioning of the first translation by the Egyptian thinker Abdel Sabbour Chahine, considered reductive and ‘religiously oriented’, we are in line with the feminist approach to translation feminist approach to translation, which advocates taking a stand on the dominant discourse. By invoking some of the methodological tools of Giles' IDRC Model and by referring to the notion of subjectivity developed in the framework of feminism of colour, we proceeded to the analysis of the source and target texts. We found that the doubly masculine discourse (the author and her (the author and his translator) was reproduced differently in the target language by taking into consideration elements that are absent from the source text. The invisibility of the woman in the process since she is considered an object, she passes to the status of visibility through the translational choices, the positions taken, and thus the decisions made.

In the article Karel Čapek’s play “R.U.R. Rossum’s universal robots” is read not only as an anti-utopia devoted to the confrontation between humans and robots, but also as a work of art that defines a number of humanitarian discourses of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The play correlates with modern humanitarian studies of posthumanity, posthumanism and transhumanism, examines various projects of posthumanistic reduplication of man – the archetype of the homunculus, types of humanized robots, cyborgs, iron warriors, predicts the decline of masculine discourse and the origins of feminism. The impact factor of this dramatic text goes beyond fiction and theatre and extends to the whole culture, because the concept of “robot” introduced by Karel Čapek is a stable concept of culture, transformation and technology. At the conceptual level, the article deals with the ability of artistic thinking to forecast, identify promising general scientific issues and structure future humanitarian discourses. 


Discourse analysis includes such types of speech activities as speaking, listening, reading and writing, i.e. through this analysis it is possible to analyze dialogic, monologue texts, natural speech, any type of texts in terms of genre. Discourse analysis is usually connected to psychological (cognitive, cultural-historical), linguistic (grammatical, textological, stylistic), semiotic (semantic, syntactic, pragmatic), philosophical (structuralist, poststructuralist, deconstructivist), logical (argumentative and analytical), informational-communicative and rhetorical approaches. In this manuscript, we have explored the style of male and female folkloric text through various stylistic means. As a research method, we used the discourse analysis proposed by S. Mills. For many years, the use of the term “discourse” in textual research has become a tradition. Research on language and discourse relations is becoming as popular research on language and gender relations. However, the analysis of feminist and masculine discourse in linguistics is still minor for political and social reasons. This manuscript examines the style of the English, Italian and Uzbek folklore texts through gender based and functional stylistics. Undoubtedly, folklore texts are passed colloquially through words, they have neither narrator nor writer, so different folklore texts have been analyzed according to the gender of collectors of the three nations. The creation of a special categorical apparatus in the field of gender stylistics requires the introduction of “gender style” and “gender stylization”. Gender methodology is based on the author's gender characteristics, speech. Gender style varies depending on the gender change of the author and falls into a certain patterns. The plot and content structure of any type of text depends on the gender of the author or subject of the speech.

AbstractThis article examines the Norwegian climate fiction television series Okkupert [Occupied] (2015–), focusing on the ways in which it reveals the complicity of Nordic subjects in an ecological dystopia. I argue that in illuminating this complicity, the series reimagines the Norwegian national self-conception rooted in a discourse of Norway's exceptionalist relation to nature. I show how Norway's green (self-)image is expressed through what I call “white ecology” – an aesthetics of whiteness encoded in neoromantic mountainous winter landscapes widely associated with the North, but also in the figure of the Norwegian white male polar explorer. I argue in this article that Occupied challenges this white-ecological masculine discourse through “dark ecology” (Morton, 2007), embodied by Russia and expressed by the avoidance of spectacular landscape aesthetics as well as by the strategy of “enmeshment”, facilitated by the medium of televisual long-form storytelling and the eco-noir aesthetics.

This chapter maps out local discourses of finance and entrepreneurship at the time of the Albanian firms' boom and then bust. The discourse in the chapter is fraught with gendered and ethnicized undertones, such as the highly masculine discourse of entrepreneurship that characterized press coverage and kreditorë's recollections of the firms at the time of their boom and the feminized discourse that centered on the owner of Sude Kadëna that delegitimized the firms as fictive fraudulent entities that was attributed to occult practices and gender stereotypes. It also mentions the discourse that served to legitimize the firms as virile entrepreneurs at the forefront of Albanian capitalism. The chapter explores the changing notions of legitimate or illegitimate finance and entrepreneurship at a time of dramatic free-market reform. It constructs a genealogy of finance in postsocialist Albania in conversation with broader genealogies of finance in the global history of capitalism.

Abstract During the War of Resistance against Japan (1937-1945) the Chinese government publicized heroic pilots to win domestic and international support for the war effort and to raise money. These pilots also helped create a gendered image of China that was used by both state and non-state actors. The male pilot and martyr Yan Haiwen (1916-37) was part of a masculine discourse of sacrifice aimed at domestic audiences. The female pilot Lee Ya-Ching (1912-98) presented a modern, technologized Chinese femininity which assisted in the Chinese war effort by appealing to white audiences, but was also used by Overseas Chinese communities for their own purposes.

Much of the academic research on the Korean Wave has focused on transcultural hybridity, with little analysis of how the Korean Wave has challenged and reshaped the site of heterosexual masculinities among millennials. Through ethnographic and focus-group interviews, this article explicates how Taiwanese masculinities have been negotiated and constructed in response to the Korean Wave, based on both Taiwan and Korea sharing a Confucian culture that emphasizes diligence and responsibility, and the popularity of refined and sophisticated men as male role models. These localized influences have compromised the ‘hegemonic masculinity’ in the West. Various contradictory attributes of Taiwanese masculinity interact with one another, but this article elicits three themes: soft/‘wen’ masculinity, a sculptured by not excessively muscular body and male-bonding. The results illustrate how the boundaries between hegemonic and marginalized forms of masculinities in Taiwan, similar to in the West, are often more interactive than oppositional. While there are contradictory attributes respond to one another, this article illuminates how a dominant form of Taiwanese masculinities prevails among the Taiwanese male millennials. Ultimately, consumerism has significantly influenced the construction of masculinity and led to diversity in masculine discourse.

AbstractThe analysis presented here focuses on the way the antithesis between the global and the local is approached from a literary point of view in the contemporary Indian context. Assuming an ecocritical perspective, it reinterprets literature on ecological themes as a tool to negotiate some spaces of autonomy from hegemonic models imposed by globalization on an economic, technological and cultural level. Global plans often collide with local ecosystems, upsetting their pre-existent equilibrium and always more frequently producing antagonism, resistance and overt conflicts. The claim for the management of local resources and the safeguard of traditional lore become a response to the “allegedly value-neutral global market” (Eaton / Lorentzen (eds.) (2003): Ecofeminism and Globalization: Exploring Culture, Context, and Religion. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Inc., 4). Filtering the discussion through an ecofeminist critique, it is possible to find a connection between the abuse of power that underlies human oppression and the exploitation of the environment. Women and nature are, in fact, connected in the dominant masculine discourse by the rhetoric of submission, which is harmful to both of them (Zimmerman, et al. (ed.) (1993): Environmental Philosophy: from Animal Rights to Radical Ecology. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall.; Warren / Cheney. (1991): “Ecological Feminism and Ecosystem Ecology”. Hypatia 6/1 Ecological Feminism: 179–197.). As an example of resistance strategy to these dynamics and a means to give voice to women through literature, this article proposes a critical reading of the novel Betvā bahtī rahī by Maitreyī Puṣpā (“The Betvā River was flowing”).

<p>There are inequalities discriminating against iranian women in the criminal justice system's processes of enactment and legislation, adjudication, and punishment and enforcement. Postmodern feminist criminologists argue that the main reason is the masculine discourse that prevents women from equal access to justice and this is the main reason for iranian women's. The way to deal with this situation is to introduce a feminine discourse against the dominant male discourse, instead of eliminating women's worldview.</p>
