Socio-Economic Factors and Women’s Empowerment: Evidence from Punjab, Pakistan

The empowerment of women is an essential objective to fully engage them in economic life and achieve sustainable growth throughout the world. Providing basic facilities to women is one form of empowerment. This paper examines the extent of women’s empowerment in Punjab, Pakistan and its divisions, along with rural and urban regions. In addition, we check the effect of the gender wage differential on the current dilemma by implementing Alkire et al.’s [2013.The women’s empowerment in agriculture index (Working Paper No. 58). Oxford, UK: Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Retrieved from https://www.ophi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/ophi-wp-58.pdf.] indexing on HIES 2013–14 datasets. Our results show that 34.91% of women are empowered in Punjab overall, with independence being the highest dimensional contributor, and ownership of assets being the least. Women are 31.43% more empowered in urban regions. The results indicate that Islamabad has significantly more women’s empowerment, while Dera Ghazi Khan has the lowest percentage of empowered women. To assess particular impacts of different socio-economic and demographic variables on women’s empowerment, logistic regression model is applied, revealing that most socio-economic and demographic variables have significant impacts on the current scenario, and variation in any variable causes significant variations in the status of women’s empowerment, with increased wage differential in particular, decreasing the probability of women being empowered.

Emancipation and Collaboration: A Critical Examination of Human Rights Video Advocacy

This article explores the relationship between political freedom and collaboration in the work of human rights organizations. I focus here on the ethical and political implications involved in the production of evidence once the documenting tool, the camera, is in the hands of an engaged civilian rather than a bystander, such as a photojournalist. By examining cases in the Occupied Palestinian Territories where the Palestinians are the photographers of human rights violations, I outline the relations and tensions between emancipatory acts and collaboration via visual information production. Human rights organizations laud new technology and celebrate the participation of those afflicted by such violations in knowledge production as a form of empowerment, and those afflicted may experience the visual practice as a mode of self-representation. But inevitably such a practice is based on collaborative action. In the Israeli/Palestinian conflict case study below, such collaboration has negative effects, which impinge upon the emancipatory features of this mode of documenting.

Delinquent Behavior: Systematic Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors.

Delinquency refers to a juveniles' behavior pattern characterized by repeated offending, and is regarded mainly in its social, but also criminal aspects. Delinquent and non-delinquent individuals may be a product of the same society or even the same family. Young individuals who are unable to find affection and protection within the family may become more susceptible to delinquency as a form of empowerment. More than socioeconomic conditions, the lack of interaction between parents and children, the existence of psychopathological problems in either parent, and academic problems, together with a biological vulnerability, may be deciding factors for the involvement of young individuals in delinquent behavior. This review aims to analyze the influence of environmental and genetic factors in the development of delinquent behavior. Studies related to the influence of the environment and genes on the development of delinquent behavior were obtained from multiple databases, through rigorous exclusion and inclusion criteria. Of the 152 documents retrieved, 87 were retained for further analysis, and 36 final studies were considered eligible for inclusion. In addition to these, ten studies were added trough manual search, with the final sample thus comprising 46 articles, published between 1983 and 2016. Objectives, methodological aspects (samples and instruments), and main conclusions were extracted from each study. Overall, the interaction between genetic and environmental factors appears to best explain the variation of delinquent behavior. Environmental risk factors may have differential effects on the behavior of individuals, particularly according to their genetic propensity for delinquency.

Vigilante feminism as a form of musical protest in extreme metal music

Drawing on my 2016 ethnographic research on women in New York’s extreme metal music scene, this short article discusses the emerging concept of vigilante feminism; a term first coined by American Studies professor Laura D’Amore in her 2017 study, Vigilante Feminism: Revising Trauma, Abduction, and Assault in American Fairy Tale Revisions. Through interviews with the death metal band Castrator, the role of the female musician and fan in the extreme metal music (EMM) scene is explored. Using the lens of vigilante feminism as a form of musical protest, I analyse lyrical content, performativity and the ways in which female musicians navigate the traditionally masculine-coded subculture. I argue that for some female death metal musicians, vigilante feminism acts as a form of empowerment which enables them to coexist in a liminal space so often dominated by their male counterparts.

Jamaican Dancehall: Demasking the grotesque realism of race and class in ghetto ‘gangsta’ performance

ABSTRACTThis article considers the self-conscious, exaggerated performance of gangster ghetto subjectivities by the younger and more media savvy generation of Jamaican ‘gangster dancehall’ artists as an example of resistant subjectivization. Through masquerade and hyperbolic visual representations of the ‘grotesque’ black body, resistant subjectivization facilitates the questioning and transgression of dominant narratives which negatively cast the black body as ‘monstrous.’ At the same time, the commercialization of gangster dancehall and the grotesque dancehall subject is seen as contributing to the reinforcement of unfavorable stereotypes of the black subject. This potentially undermines the element of resistance in the counterhegemonic discourse of gangster dancehall and leads to tension, not only between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic narratives on black subjectivities, but also between the counterhegemonic discourses within gangster dancehall itself. Through the critical explorations of writings by Jacques Lacan, Stuart Hall, Judith Butler, Julia Kristeva, Franz Fanon and Homi Bhahba, this paper tries to establish whether or not this performance of the monstrous black self indeed represents a form of empowerment for the black ghetto subject in postcolonial Jamaica.

"Being Stewards of Land is Our Legacy": Exploring the Lived Experiences of Young Black Farmers

The oppressive histories of slavery, sharecropping, and discriminatory lending practices contribute to a modern American agricultural landscape where black farmers are underrepresented. While African Americans once made up 14% of the United States’ farmer population, today they only make up 1.4%. Moreover, the American farmer population overall is aging, and currently only 6% of farmers are under the age of 35. Despite these trends indi­cating decline, a small population of young black farmers is emerging. This qualitative case study aims to explore the experiences of this previously unexamined group of farmers. Participants found autonomy and self-sufficiency in agriculture, and a particular form of empowerment derived from reclaiming land and actively choosing to engage in work their ancestors were forced to do without pay. Findings from the study have implications for agricultural educators, extension professionals, and policy-makers working to cultivate a more diverse and representative body of American farmers.

Onde estão as meninas soldados? Gênero e conflito armado na Colômbia

Resumo Este trabalho discute o conceito de vítima e sua aplicação no estudo de crianças soldados, a partir de uma discussão global sobre o emprego de meninas soldados em conflitos armados, visto que esse grupo é duplamente invisibilizado nas categorias de mulheres e crianças. O referencial teórico adotado é a discussão sobre vítimas e infância. São utilizados relatórios de organizações internacionais, organizações de direitos humanos e fontes secundárias de pesquisas etnográficas com crianças soldados em países africanos e asiáticos. Para ilustrar essa discussão, apresenta-se uma breve discussão sobre o conflito colombiano com o uso de relatórios de organizações de direitos humanos e especialistas que entrevistaram crianças soldado no país. Na Colômbia, o alistamento voluntário de meninas é um modo de empoderamento e fuga de situações de violência, mas violência e discriminação acompanham-nas durante o período junto ao grupo armado e em sua reinserção na sociedade. Sendo assim, se por um lado elas devem ter seus status de vítimas reconhecidos, suas vozes e experiências devem ser consideradas em todo o processo para garantir a elas reintegração e direitos. Ademais, visões tradicionais de vítima não conseguem perceber essas estratégias de resistência e empoderamento.

O projeto paradesportivo de Sergipe e o legado social para as pessoas com deficiência

This research aims to identify and cognize the contributions of the Sergipe Paralympic Sport Project (PPdSE), which is provide by Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) to athletes with eficiency. Four major groups were categorized, sporting practice (1), social and inclusive visibility (2), overcoming the deficient body through technological apparatuses (3), and inclusion by income (4), as a form of empowerment. In order to achieve this goal, the qualitative analysis method was adopted using a semi-structured interview, which involved five athletes participating in the UFS extension project for over a year. As a historical context, we assume that the Brazilian universities have as principle three alicerces (teaching, research and extension) as an interlaced approach to promote actions that may impact the communities of their environment. In this way, extension projects represent a powerful tool for professional development (supervised learning) as well as an opportunity to research and promote sports practices in their various dimensions or interests, whether through Agon (disputes, competitions) or Aratê (identified as what enables a person to live well or succeed). Therefore, these sports practices offer opportunities to acquire life skills and achieve higher levels of personal achievement, both as an athlete and as a participatory and responsible citizen. The results found that PPdSE participants improved their motor skills, muscle tone, self-esteem and confidence, improved sociability, and improved their ability to take on their own decisions.

Perceived Location Autonomy and Work Environment Choice: The Mediating Influence of Intrinsic Motivation

Building on the main tenets of labor process theory, this study introduces perceived location autonomy (PLA)—the autonomy to generate, evaluate, and choose where to perform one’s work tasks—and tests the relationships between PLA and worker productivity and well-being. Using a sample of academic knowledge workers ( n = 319), our results suggest that workers experiencing higher PLA choose work environments to enhance both their productivity and their well-being through increased intrinsic motivation. Consistent with labor process theory, PLA acts as a form of empowerment that aligns knowledge worker and organizational goals to realize productivity gains while simultaneously allowing workers to enhance well-being. Together, these results suggest that managers may wish to consider integrating PLA into job and organizational design, as an alternative to control, as an effective strategy for boosting knowledge worker productivity and well-being.

Informada, esperanzada, dudosa: una etnografía virtual de la participación de mujeres con dificultades reproductivas en un foro argentino de ovodonación

El articulo presenta resultados preliminares de un analisis de un foro de ovodonacion alojado en Planeta Mama, uno de los sitios web argentinos mas reconocidos entre los relacionados con la maternidad. Se analizan temas y usos prevalentes en el foro, y se muestra la emergencia de tres perfiles caracteristicos de mujeres: la mujer informada, la mujer esperanzada y la mujer dudosa. El analisis de estos perfiles permite interrogar hasta que punto el empoderamiento se sigue del intercambio on-linede informacion, a la vez que orienta a una consideracion del foro como un lugar donde se ejercen sutiles presiones hacia la maternidad. Tambien se considera la relevancia de la dicotomia naturaleza/cultura como parte de estos repertorios que enfatizan el caracter construido del parentesco. A traves de estos analisis se contribuye a una especificacion empirica del concepto de biociudadania digital

Parodying the Hysteric as a Form of Empowerment in Mary Sibande’s Exhibition The Purple Shall Govern

In a discussion of selected works by Mary Sibande, the author explores how the artist visually locates a persona, “Sophie Ntombikayise,” she has created within the realm of theatrical fantasy through use of exaggerated poses, dramatic gestures, and extravagant dress. Sibande’s theatrical quotations of the language of dress and use of dramatic poses may be related to photographic representations of the Victorian female hysteric in various stages of a hysterical attack, in that they both evoke a sense of excess. It is suggested that, in works on the exhibition The Purple Shall Govern (2013), Sibande moves from the language of quotation of photographic representations of hysteria traceable in earlier works, into the realm of parody. Drawing on feminist writers who posit that hysteria may be regarded as a form of non-verbal, bodily communication for otherwise “voiceless” Victorian women, and relating this to the silencing and invisibility of the black domestic worker in the South African home under apartheid, the author argues that hysteria may be construed as an empowering form of self-expression.
