 Gendered Work in Asian Cities: The New Economy And Changing Labour Markets By Ann Brooks 2006 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 0754647005 | PDF | 1 MB Do the new Asian economies encourage gender equality? Ann Brooks provides a unique insight into this question by assessing the impact of the new economy and the changing labour market on women in Asia. Theoretical debates around globalization, gender and social change are combined with empirical research on professional women in two cosmopolitan cities: Hong Kong and Singapore. The author's research shows that even in such cosmopolitan cities where women tend to have a strong advantage there is a 'new dynamic of inequality'. This makes the examination of women's labour market participation and ambition in these environments very different to previous research. The research is set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia more generally and international comparisons are also drawn. It will be of interest to scholars in sociology, economics, gender studies, business studies and Asian studies.  Zahra M. S. Ayubi, "Gendered Morality: Classical Islamic Ethics of the Self, Family, and Society" English | ISBN: 0231191332 | 2019 | 368 pages | MOBI | 5 MB Islamic scriptural sources offer potentially radical notions of equality. Yet medieval Islamic philosophers chose to establish a hierarchical, male-centered virtue ethics. In Gendered Morality, Zahra Ayubi rethinks the tradition of Islamic philosophical ethics from a feminist critical perspective. She calls for a philosophical turn in the study of gender in Islam based on resources for gender equality that are unlocked by feminist engagement with the Islamic ethical tradition.  Gendered Journeys, Mobile Emotions By Gayle Letherby, Gillian Reynolds 2009 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 0754670341 | PDF | 3 MB It is increasingly acknowledged that an analysis of emotions is necessary to fully understand the social world, and recent research on transport, travel and mobilities has begun to consider the gendered nature of public and personal life in relation to this sphere.The focus of this multidisciplinary and auto/biographical volume is the emotional relationship that individuals and groups have with different means of travel. Attention is given to a variety of travel experiences, including travelling in trains, planes, cars, buses and ships, as well as biking, cycling, running and walking, from the perspective of travellers and those who earn their living in assisting these experiences of others. Imaginary travel and the relationships between art and travel are also considered.Adopting innovative approaches to experiential material ranging from personal memories to empirical research, ""Gendered Journeys, Mobile Emotions"" opens up and illuminates an interdisciplinary debate about the gendered, emotive and emotional nature of travelling.  Holly Lawford-Smith, "Gender-Critical Feminism" English | ISBN: 0198863888 | 2022 | 312 pages | MOBI | 945 KB The expectation used to be that men would be masculine and women would be feminine, and this was assumed to come naturally to them in virtue of their biology. That orthodoxy persists today in many parts of society. On this view, sex is gender and gender is sex.  Gender, Theory, and History: On the Knowledge and Politics of Bodies by María Inés La Greca English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009571842 | 78 Pages | True PDF | 5.7 MB  Gender, Politeness and Pragmatic Particles in French By Kate Beeching 2001 | 161 Pages | ISBN: 9027253447 | PDF | 3 MB This study aims to investigate politeness in women's and men's speech, with a particular focus on the use of c'est-a-dire, enfin, hein and quoi in contemporary spoken French. Politeness is defined as going beyond the notion of the face-threatening act, englobing both everyday ideas of politeness and the creation of sociability in face-to-face interaction. The pragmatic particles studied are demonstrated to serve both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic purposes: they lubricate reformulation and contribute to both sociability and social indexation. The study, which combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, is based on a corpus of spontaneous spoken French, comprising 155,000 words, 95 interviews and subjects ranging in age from 7 to 88 years. The sample contains speakers from a broader range of educational backgrounds than is often the case: a butcher, a video-salesman and a toiletteur canin rub shoulders with counter assistants, teachers and doctors.  Gender, Literacy, and Empowerment in Morocco (Middle East Studies-History, Politics & Law) By Fatima Agnaou 2003 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 0415947650 | PDF | 2 MB This book's concept concerns the positive correlation between literacy and women's development and empowerment in developing countries.  Oren Gozlan, "Gender with Sexuality" English | ISBN: 1032577363 | 2026 | 244 pages | PDF | 1412 KB This book explores the changing attitudes and clinical responses to gender and transition in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.  Gender and Rurality (Routledge International Studies of Women and Place) By Lia Bryant, Barbara Pini 2010 | 207 Pages | ISBN: 0415488990 | PDF | 2 MB The study of gender in rural spaces is still in its infancy. Thus far, there has been little exploration of the constitution of the varied and differing ways that gender is constituted in rural settings. This book will place the question of gender, rurality and difference at its center. The authors examine theoretical constructions of gender and explore the relationship between these and rural spaces. While there have been extensive debates in the feminist literature about gender and the intersection of multiple social categories, rural feminist social scientists have yet to theorize what gender means in a rural context and how gender blurs and intersects with other social categories such as sexuality, ethnicity, class and (dis)ability. This book will use empirical examples from a range of research projects undertaken by the authors as well as illustrations from work in the Australasia region, Europe, and the United States to explore gender and rurality and their relation to sexuality, ethnicity, class and (dis)ability.  Gender and Morality in Anglo-American Culture, 1650-1800 By Ruth H. Bloch 2003 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 0520234057 | PDF | 2 MB Ruth Bloch's stellar essays on the origins of Anglo-American conceptions of gender and morality are brought together in this valuable book, which collects six of her most influential pieces in one place for the first time and includes two new essays. The volume illuminates the overarching theme of her work by addressing a basic historical question: Why did the attitudes toward gender and family relations that we now consider traditional values emerge when they did? Bloch looks deeply into eighteenth-century culture to answer this question, highlighting long-term developments in religion, intellectual history, law, and literature, showing that the eighteenth century was a time of profound transformation for women's roles as wives and mothers, for ideas about sexuality, and for notions of female moral authority. She engages topics from British moral philosophy to colonial laws regarding courtship, and from the popularity of the sentimental novel to the psychology of religious revivalism. Lucid, provocative, and wide-ranging, these eight essays bring a revisionist challenge to both women's studies and cultural studies as they ask us to reconsider the origins of the system of gender relations that has dominated American culture for two hundred years. |
