Discursive subjugation and the ways out: Narratives of othering among Czech Roma mothers

This paper introduces the analysis of biographical interviews focusing on the negotiation of the day-to-day child-raising by Czech Roma mothers. We demonstrate the narrative reflection of ethnic identity, as well as coping strategies and ways out of the discursive subjugation of being marginalized by ethnic othering. We present coping strategies based on 1) vacillating between refusal and resigned acceptance of the negative discourse among the ethnic majority, 2) claiming normality through universal humanism, the submission of racialized microaggression, and the psychologizing of an aggressor, and 3) embracing family pride and social dissent. We find that primary socialization is an important element in tackling the discursive subjugation of ethnic othering. Further, we outline suggestions for the following research of othering mechanisms that seem to endure in European societies in terms of the reproduction of social inequalities.

The tragic consequence of false honour: Understanding the phenomenon of "honour-killings" and its legal implications in Nepal.

"Honour-killings" are the intentional execution of women who are perceived to have disrespected their families; in Nepal this is frequently considered socially acceptable while the United Nations condemns them as arbitrary executions that violate the right to life. In Nepal, "honour-killing" is typically a caste-based hate crime which is not limited to women as there have been reports of male victims as well. The perpetrators are sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, with the perpetrator serving 25 years. Pride-killing is common in the animal kingdom, but there is no logic in killing a family member to maintain family pride in a civilised human society.

LARANGAN PERCERAIAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ADAT LAMPUNG

The people of Lampung have a paradigm that marriage is life and death, while divorce is taboo and forbidden, because it will separate the two large families according to custom. This study aims to examine the paradigm of the Lampung indigenous people regarding the prohibition of divorce in the perspective of maqasid sharia. This research is a type of qualitative field research with a socio-philosophical approach in reviewing maqasid sharia, while the primary data is by interviewing Lampung traditional leaders and communities, while the secondary data is books and articles published by talk about the prohibition of divorce in the indigenous people of Lampung. Philosophically, the people of Lampung have a life philosophy of piil pesenggiri (self-esteem) and for the sake of maintaining the sacredness of the Lampung Pepadun traditional marriage which is carried out according to religion and custom, so that divorce becomes a disgrace, because it will lower family pride. However, this does not mean that it is absolute, that divorce is an emergency exit, even though it is taboo for adat. Meanwhile, historically, this customary prohibition law has been passed down by previous ancestors which was preserved by the indigenous people of Lampung for the sake of protecting their descendants (hifdzu nasl).

Corporal Punishment in Schools: A Narrative Analysis of Contemporary Situation

The environment at home, school, social circles, and key life events all have an impact on students’ wellbeing in the formative years. The tremendous familial and societal pressure placed on pupils to be high academic achievers is a prevalent factor in the Pakistan’s context. Scoring marks is the primary goal, particularly in South Asian culture where students’ performance has been reduced down to competitive testing formats. High grades on progress cards have been linked to a better likelihood of gaining admission to prestigious schools, resulting in a promising career and future. Security, family pride, and social position have all been connected to these factors. With this perspective, parents, often impose unrealistic expectations on the child and in schools, teachers deliberately or unintentionally use the corporal punishment to achieve and maintain the discipline and good grades of the students which negatively affect their behaviors and regress them academically (Nair, 2014). This narrative review-based paper explain why teachers are using corporal punishment as the terminal solution for most of the problems despite of legislation against corporal punishment in schools through “Prohibition of corporal punishment Bill, 2014”? This paper concluded that teachers are unable to abide this law effectively due to their personality traits tagged with their own aggressive childhood experiences. Therefore, it was suggested that in order to eradicate the corporal punishment from schools, teachers’ psychological well-being assessments and their counseling may be way forward to achieve the students’ well-being.

Experiences of same-sex parents during the first year of Covid-19: A qualitative review and analysis of online blogs

There are an increasing number of people identifying as part of the LGBT community, with over 165,000 same-sex couples in the US having children in 2019. Research on parenting during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic has been disseminated. However, there is limited research that examines the experiences of same-sex parents. Therefore, a structured qualitative review of online blogs published during the Covid-19 pandemic, authored by same-sex parents, was conducted. Following thematic analysis, three main themes (and 13 subthemes) emerged: 1) Connection; 2) Contrasting experiences of home schooling; and 3) Pride in family. Similarities between same-sex and different-sex parents were highlighted. However, it is notable that same-sex parents continue to feel stigma and exclusion from the wider parenting community.

Moral Molecules: Morality as a Combinatorial System

What is morality? How many moral values are there? And what are they? According to the theory of morality-as-cooperation, morality is a collection of biological and cultural solutions to the problems of cooperation recurrent in human social life. This theory predicts that there will be as many different types of morality as there are different types of cooperation. Previous research, drawing on evolutionary game theory, has identified at least seven different types of cooperation, and used them to explain seven different types of morality: family values, group loyalty, reciprocity, heroism, deference, fairness and property rights. Here we explore the conjecture that these simple moral ‘elements’ combine to form a much larger number of more complex moral ‘molecules’, and that as such morality is a combinatorial system. For each combination of two elements, we hypothesise a candidate moral molecule, and successfully locate an example of it in the professional and popular literature. These molecules include: fraternity, blood revenge, family pride, filial piety, gavelkind, primogeniture, friendship, patriotism, tribute, diplomacy, common ownership, honour, confession, turn taking, restitution, modesty, mercy, munificence, arbitration, mendicancy, and queuing. These findings indicate that morality – like many other physical, biological, psychological and cultural systems – is indeed a combinatorial system. Thus morality-as-cooperation provides a principled and powerful theory, that explains why there are many moral values, and successfully predicts what they will be; and it generates a systematic framework that has the potential to explain all moral ideas, possible and actual. Pursuing the many implications of this theory will help to place the study of morality on a more secure scientific footing.

P207 Using Formative Research to Develop the HappyHealthy Social Marketing Campaign

Background Across the nation, SNAP-Ed direct nutritional education efforts have resulted in SNAP recipients making healthy dietary choices and food purchases, using safe food preparation skills, and increasing physical activity. To reinforce direct nutrition education efforts, SNAP-Ed implementing agencies use social marketing as a broad-based approach to nutrition education. The research described here was conducted to inform the development of a statewide social marketing campaign that targeted SNAP eligible families in Mississippi (MS). Objective Formative research was conducted to explore perceptions of healthy eating including triggers and barriers to healthy eating, to understand decision patterns when choosing food and shopping for food, and to assess types of nutrition information needed and sought. Study Design, Settings, and Participants In 2016, 127 low-resource mothers participated in 18 focus groups. Respondents were recruited via telephone from a list of MS SNAP benefits recipients. Focus groups were recorded and transcribed. Measurable Outcome/Analysis Thematic analysis was conducted to determine the behavioral target(s) of social marketing messages; to identify products, services, and incentives to promote adoption of the behavioral targets; and to determine communication efforts to disseminate campaign messages and promotion. Results Increase physical activity, shop for healthy foods on a budget, prepare meals at home, and have pride in food and family were determined as target behaviors. Easy-to-make recipes and cooking items were identified as behavioral reinforcements. Preferred delivery channels included mass media (eg, television commercial), social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), and promotional media (e.g., educational incentive items). Conclusion Findings informed the HappyHealthy statewide social marketing campaign developed by the Mississippi State University Extension Service Office of Nutrition Education. Implementation of HappyHealthy began in 2018 and will continue throughout 2019. A description of the formative research process that resulted in this social marketing campaign could help educators in other states/locations who are interested in developing a social marketing campaign. Funding None.

Military Personnel’s Occupational Characteristics and Family Life among Military Wives with Preschool Children: Underlying Processes

Based on the stress process model, this study examined the process of how military personnel’s occupational characteristics (i.e., long and unspecified work hours, frequent moving) is associated with their wives’ marital satisfaction and parenting stress. We focused on whether the wives’ perception toward the characteristics of military occupation and the wives’ military family pride mediated the association. An online survey was conducted with 323 women married to professional active-duty military husbands, had at least one preschool child, and lived with the husband and child. Using structural equation modeling, we found that the wives’ perception of military occupational characteristics and military family pride mediated the relationship between their husband’s work hours and the wives’ marital satisfaction and parenting stress. This serial multiple mediation indicated that the longer and more unspecified the husband’s work hours were, the more negative the wife’s perceptions were towards his military occupation, which led to lower marital satisfaction and higher parenting stress. The single mediation effect of negative perceptions was also significant. Frequent moving was indirectly related to the wives’ marital satisfaction and parenting stress through only the wives’ negative perceptions toward military occupational characteristics. This result indicates that military spouses who experienced frequent moves are likely to have more negative attitudes toward military occupation, which leads to lower marital satisfactions and higher parenting stress. This study contributes to the literature by identifying the underlying mechanisms between military occupational characteristics and military wives’ family life through the mediating roles of negative perceptions and military family pride.

Governance, Pride, and Multi-Generational Involvement on Innovativeness: A Family Firm Study

This study investigates how innovativeness within multi-generational family firms is affected by business family governance, and how this relationship is moderated by different generational involvement and variance in family pride. Drawing from 321 family firms, our findings contribute to agency theory, while enhancing our understanding of multi-generational entrepreneurship and family firm heterogeneity. Specifically, we find that the founding family generation involvement and family pride have a positive impact on the family governance to firm innovativeness relationship, while non-founding generation involvement with high business family governance and low family pride negatively moderates this relationship.

Maddeceng: A Family Reconciliation in Bugis Community on Maslahat’s Perspective

Eloping (silariang) is an embarrassing event (mappakasiri) among Bugis society, especially among Bugis people in Bone, South Sulawesi. This incident usually leads to a conflict or tension between the two families.

Setting The Stage For The Authority Of The Roman Emperor: The Family Metaphor In The Aedicular Facades Of Asia Minor

Family has always been an important aspect of the Italian way of life from antiquity to the present. Since the Roman Republic was an oligarchic state, the governing class had always been identified with families. The family pride in state affairs were advertised in the most public part of the Roman house, the atrium, by way of busts, wax masks and shield portraits of the notable ancestors; trophies and wall-paintings illustrating the notable achievements of the family; and family trees and shrines to the Lares, Penates and Genius. These paraphernalia reminded the inhabitants of the household of the family pride, to which they must be loyal and whose expectations they must fulfill. Augustus, within the process of his institution as the sole ruler of the empire, extensively employed familial concepts as a propaganda tool. He praised the Roman family as a traditional Roman institution within the context of the restoration of order and unity of the Republic. His definition as an autocrat above the senate was made through a familial concept, Pater Patriae. Augustus, as Pater Patriae, controlled and ordered his empire as Roman fathers managed their families. His dynasty was linked to Aeneas and Romulus by way of contemporary legends. Through these legends, he was defined as divinely ordained to reinstitute peace and order, in a way refound the honored tradition of Roman nation as his ancestors had in the past. His monuments in Rome, therefore, featured the imperial dynasty not only as a symbol of order and unity of the empire, but also as a token of the continuity of the reinstituted peace implied by these legendary familial connections. During the time of the successors of Augustus, monuments representing the imperial family became widespread both in Rome and in the provinces with the aim of heralding and ensuring the continuity of the imperial rule. Within this framework, two examples from Asia Minor, the propylon of the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias and the reconstructed Hellenistic gate of Perge, will be the focus of this paper, to argue how these monuments in their local contexts created a framework through which Greek cities defined themselves as part of the Roman Empire through familial associations. Both of these examples are gates in the form of aedicular facades, which featured statues belonging to the contemporary emperor and his dynasty in their aedicular units. Within this context, the imperial family was a symbol of the order and unity of the Roman Empire and its continuity like in Rome. In addition to the imperial family, these facades also featured tutelary deities of Aphrodisias and Perge. By inclusion of tutelary deities of cities to the otherwise dynastic sculpture repertoire, it was implied that these cities were tied to the empire with similar ties that links an individual to his/her family. In Aphrodisias, Aphrodite was identified as the ancestral mother of the divine rulers hinting at Greek roots of the imperial dynasty through Aeneas. In Perge, statues of the Greek heroes of the Trojan War implied Trojan roots of the Roman Empire through Aeneas. So, through these associations, a Greek framework was formulated for the alien authority of the Roman emperor. Ultimately, it can be stated that the aedicular facades in these cities can be thought of as large-scale versions of the familial paraphernalia in the atria of Roman houses. Sebasteion Gate at Aphrodisias and the reconstructed Hellenistic Gate at Perge set up stages on the colonnaded avenues of their cities, representing their city as an extension of the empire. Through this representation not only subjugation to the unity of the empire was legitimized through the family metaphor, but also willful loyalty and devotion to the alien authority of the Roman emperor was sealed through the evocation of a common ancestry.

Grandmother VanDemere, who reared now seventeen-year-old Avery after her mother died and her alcoholic father disappeared from her life, has devised a competition to test her potential heirs’ knowledge and virtues in order to decide who will inherit her vast fortune. Faced with jealous cousins and treacherous uncles, Avery teams up with Riley, the handsome son of the family lawyer, to meet her grandmother’s challenges, which each relate to some aspect of family pride that her grandmother feels has been lost. When Avery discovers that her mother is alive and her grandmother might be the most treacherous of all, Avery’s goal in winning the competition becomes getting as far away from her family as possible. The competition creates a lively vehicle for international travel and plenty of action and suspense, and the romance that develops between Riley and Avery is as sweet as it is predictable, with Riley being cardboard-cutout perfect and about as deep. The ending unfortunately turns Avery into a scripted scold, confronting her father, her grandmother, and even Riley with wooden accusations of all the wrongs they have perpetrated against her in a way that sounds completely forced and unnatural given her character. Readers may forgive this disappointing dénouement for the breathless excitement that came before, however; hand this to fans of high-stakes reality challenge shows as well as those who count Raskin’s The Westing Game (BCCB 9/78) as a favorite.

Honour Killing in Pakistan

Honour killing means killing a family or clan member in the name of family pride or protecting one's family’s honour. It usually consists of murder, committed by male family members against female family members who are perceived to have brought dishonor upon the family. Hundreds of women are murdered by their families each year in the name of family honour. A man can kill a woman, claiming that she brought dishonor to the family; in Pakistan the term Karo-Kari has been traditionally employed as a label for the crime of double-homicide. A man, or a boy, and a woman, or a girl, are both killed usually by her husband, father or brother in what is characterized as a fit of rage when the killer sees or in many case just hear(s) or blame(s) both victims actively engaged in sexual activity. In this Article, I suggest that the legislatures amend the criminal law, that criminal and all relevant laws be strictly executed, that Jirgas and Punchayats verdicts should be frozen and be declared void as against the law and fundamental rights. And the practice of settling disputes by gifting girls as compensation and penance should be stopped with iron hands. Proper training of police officials is needed and finally, the mindset of the civil society must be changed so that women are not seen as commodities that can be traded as currency to pay for the sins of men in exchange of money, compensation or penance for crimes and settling of disputes, in order to prohibit such heinous crime.
