Research on the Image of Chinese Rural Women Presented on Short Video Platform --Take Douyin as an Example

As one of the leading platforms in China, Douyin has allowed the underprivileged group of rural women to showcase themselves. While empowering them, it has also led to the imposition of various labels on them. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the representation of rural women through content analysis and other research methods. It analyzes the representation of rural women from the perspectives of the communicators and the audience, and explores how the Chinese government and the platform can improve this situation. Research has found that the transmitters, the rural women themselves, have diverse images. Some are diligent and hardworking, while others are passionate about traditional culture, breaking the stereotype of poverty and lack of education. The audience has shifted from having prejudices to getting closer and gaining a deeper understanding of the rural women's image through the Douyin platform. The writer suggests that rural women should learn more about new media knowledge and improve their new media skills. The Douyin platform should encourage high-quality content production and strengthen the supervision of inappropriate and low-quality content. The government should provide relevant support policies and strengthen education for rural women.

The Craze of "Korean Women": A Study on the Impact of Korean Film and Television Cultural Output on the Self-Identity of Chinese Female Youth

The impact of the transnational flow of Korean cultural products on Chinese Female youth has received widespread attention. However, there is still a lack of specific analysis on how the image of "Korean women" in these cultural products affects the self-identity and femininity of young Chinese women. This paper analyzes the popularity of the image of "Korean women" among Chinese Female youth and its impact on their self-image and personal empowerment through a questionnaire survey, revealing the differences between this image and the traditional Chinese female image and the duality it brings. The results show that although the image of "Korean women" has promoted women's personal expression and self-identity to a certain extent, it may also challenge traditional female values. Therefore, this paper suggests that future research should pay more attention to the evolution of women's images under cross-cultural influences, explore how to promote positive effects on women's self-expression while respecting traditional culture and provide predictive analysis and suggestions for the development trend of Chinese youth culture.

A Comparison of Women's Image in Women's Films in Chinese and Western Cultures from a Female Perspective --Carol and Woman-Demon-Human

In the different cultural backgrounds of China and the West, the trend of feminism and related films is different. The image of women is an important part of Chinese and Western culture and a special product of the times, which is extremely important for the understanding of female subjects and social development. Based on the films Woman-Demon-Human and Carol, this paper aims to explore the survival status of women and the manifestation of feminist awakening in different times from the aspects of feminism, self-consciousness, and gender differences, to show the dilemmas and struggles faced by women in modern China and the West, as well as the impact of gender manifestation on women. Women who can break through the inherent pattern, get rid of the fate of the male gaze, and have independent subjective consciousness are particularly valuable. The American movie Carol, with Carol and Therese as the main characters, tells the story of women with different personalities who have found themselves in life and have the courage to resist the pressure of the world and the oppression of patriarchal society. Woman-Demon-Human, directed by Huang Shuqin, tells the story of Qiuyun, who is obsessed with the art of opera, plays a male role, and dedicates her life to the stage. These two films portray the image of a true woman who can be autonomous and self-controlled, and deserve to be compared and analyzed in detail in terms of feminist awakening.

Image of Women in Islam: Maqāsid Approach for Correct Interpretation

The current study attempted to outline the necessity of using the purposes method (al-manhaj al-maqāṣidi) to understand the correct meaning of Islamic religious texts, particularly those related to the image of women, by analysing a set of Prophetic Hadiths in the canonical works of al-Bukhari and Muslim. When the purposes method is not utilized, these texts are typically understood as hostile towards women, leading many to question their validity. The current study employed the analytical and critical methods derived from holistically viewing the religious texts. The study argued that the purposes method should be used by gathering all the texts relevant to a particular topic, deriving specific purposes from general ones, linking branch issues to their origins, and assessing other contextual and situational evidences to create a correct understanding of religious texts that avoids explanations and violates the general principles of Shariah. Moreover, the study also argued that the purposes methodology stands as a pivotal element in grasping the essence of an Islamic text, rooted in the overarching principles of the law, and is utilized to interpret and guide fragmented texts. It also serves as a subset of the principle of elucidating ambiguous issues and reverting the secondary matters to their original bases. Once validated, the objectives of the law serve as a benchmark for adjudicating any unresolved matter not explicitly addressed in the examination.

Women, Film and Politics in the Islamic Republic of Iran 1979-2005; A Perspective from Learning from Experience and Performance Theory

Images in popular culture provide essential information about the socio-political situation and the self-realisation of gender roles in society. The transformation of women characters in Iranian films after the 1980s has occupied a certain space in scholarship, however everyday self-experiences in the streets and its relation to self realization and women figures are barely included into the analysis. Based on learning from experience, affect and performance theory, this paper focesses on two prominent female stars of Iranian cinema: Niki Karimi and Hediye Tehrani as image transformers in a period of cultural evolution and the smile of women that fades away from the streets. The analysis begins with a general examination of the interaction between politics and culture through the main currents in Iranian cinema. In this part, a periodization of the post-revolution era in Iran is presented through cultural products, especially Iranian films such as the religious era, the war and post-war era, the pastoral era, and the critical era. The last part compares two famous women's images, Niki Karimi and Hediye Tehrani, and shows how this periodization helps to understand the changes in women’s self realization and body politics in everyday life after the revolution.

Investigating Gender-Based Humor In Punjabi Stage Dramas In The Digital Age

This research focuses on the prevalence and implications of gender-based humor in Pakistani stage dramas and its role in perpetuating misogyny and sexism. The current study aims to enhance the understanding of how sexist humor in stage dramas can jeopardize women's image in Pakistan. Our media has fostered a typical image of a woman, and society gradually considers females who deviate from the image unacceptable. Through our research, we argue that the propagation of sexist comedy undermines and endangers women's social identities and diminishes their self-value. The phenomenon not only damages the credibility of the female gender but also restricts opportunities and mobility of women in society and reinforces stereotypes and gender inequity. We used qualitative content analysis of Pakistani Punjabi stage dramas of the last five years to study gender-based humor. After analyzing the content, we found that most of the stage dramas’ content is gender biased. Women are predominantly targeted and subjected to several forms of mockery. Harmful stereotypes are reinforced and perpetuated through the content. These plays not only belittle women by portraying them as laughingstock but also highlight traditional gender norms and downplay their worth and potential.

ОБРАЗ ЖІНКИ-ТРУДІВНИЦІ НА СТОРІНКАХ РАДЯНСЬКОЇ ЖІНОЧОЇ ПЕРІОДИКИ (1950-ТІ – 1980-ТІ РОКИ)

The article critically analyzes the idealized portrayal of the woman worker in the Soviet public sphere from the 1950s to the 1980s. One of the primary instruments shaping women's images within the official discourse of the Soviet state was womenʼs periodicals. These publications mirrored stereotypical perceptions of women and diverse expectations concerning their social roles, encompassing their professional engagements. Drawing upon materials sourced from prominent women’s magazines such as “Rabotnitsa,” “Sovetskaya Zhenshchina,” and “Radianska Zhinka,” the article endeavors to reconstruct the representation of a woman worker in the USSR. This representation amalgamated womenʼs activity, industriousness, selflessness, and a heightened level of motivation. Official propaganda consistently emphasized women’s emancipation in the USSR and advocated for gender equality, facilitated by the opportunity for women to work in traditionally "male-dominated" fields, including various sectors of heavy industry. The persistent promotion of this idealized image aimed to stimulate greater female involvement in production. Additionally, the positive portrayal of the woman worker was actively leveraged in propaganda rhetoric to showcase the purported "achievements" of the Soviet government in addressing the "woman question," attaining gender equality, and highlighting the "advantages" of living in a socialist state. However, the propagated image, upon closer examination, diverged significantly from reality. In their professional pursuits, women consistently encountered discrimination, exclusion from highly skilled professions, limitations in opportunities to assume leadership roles, and numerous stereotypes regarding women's competence in professional spheres.

Soft Power of Chinese Cultural Exchange through Feminism Movies

With the in-depth development of globalization, cultural exchange plays an important role in the interaction among countries increasingly. As a country with a long history and culture, its soft power of cultural exchange plays a pivotal role in enhancing its international image and influence. As a unique form of cultural expression, feminism movies, by focusing on women's issues and conveying women's voices, providing the world with a culture window to understand Chinese women's image and culture. Consequently, we should pay attention to the role of feminism movies in enhancing the soft power of Chinese cultural exchange. By supporting and promoting feminism movies, we can promote the dissemination and development of Chinese culture and enhance the soft power of Chinese culture. At the same time, we can also draw on the creative concepts and methods of feminism movies to provide new ideas and inspirations for the creation of other types of movies, further enriching the diversity and connotation of China's movie industry. For this reason, we should recognize the value and significance of feminism movies sufficiently, promote the dissemination and development of Chinese culture by supporting and promoting feminism movies, and contribute to the enhancement of the soft power of Chinese cultural exchange.
