Portrait of a Lady on Fire: Deconstruction of Female Identity

Abstract: Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a drama film directed by Cline Sciamma and starring Adle Haenel and Nomie Merlant. The film centers on the passionate love story between Heloise, a bride on the brink of marriage, and Marianne, the painter commissioned to create her portrait. This paper analyses the construction and deconstruction of female identity in Portrait of a Lady on Fire through the lenses of gaze theory and feminist identity theory. It begins by exploring Heloise's resistance to the objectifying male gaze, illustrated through her defiance against the passive model identity and her challenge to the myth of Orpheus, which traditionally casts women in powerlessness and rescue role. The paper then delves into the film's critique of the roles of wife and mother within the patriarchal, heteronormative family structure, drawing on Simone de Beauvoir's ideas in The Second Sex to further contextualize the film's feminist discourse. Through these analyses, the paper reveals how the film reimagines and challenges traditional female identities, offering a detailed and subtle portrayal of women's autonomy and identity.

ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS SARA MILLS TENTANG STEREOTIPE PERANAN ISTRI DALAM BERUMAH TANGGA DALAM CERAMAH NASIHAT PERNIKAHAN

This study discusses Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis on stereotypes of the wife's role in the household in the religious speech given at a wedding event. The purpose of this religious speech is to provide understanding to married couples regarding their respective rights and responsibilities, as well as solve problems in the household, and also to prevent and reduce the number of divorce cases. There is a stereotype of women that is synonymous with femininity, namely in the form of the perception that women are attached, that women are gentle, beautiful, easily carried away by emotions, and full of affection. These perceptions of men and women provide cultural assumptions that give different and wider roles to men and make them obtain a relatively high social value status compared to women. In relation to marriage advice lectures, by looking at the stereotype phenomenon that occurs in women, the process and occurrence of marriage advice is one of the important processes and influences the development of these stereotypes. This study uses a qualitative method using the discourse analysis technique of Sara Mills. The primary data was obtained from a long process of repeatedly listening to the marriage advice video lectures to select scenes that display stereotypes towards women in the marriage advice video lectures. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze critical discourse about the stereotyped role of the wife in marriage in marriage advice lectures.

Does Wives’ Empowerment Moderate the Association Between Husbands’ Drunkenness and Their Intimate Partner Violence Toward Their Wives?—A Study in India

Although the impacts of husband alcohol consumption and wife empowerment on intimate partner violence (IPV) have been researched independently, there is scanty evidence on the moderating role of empowerment in reducing IPV among wives whose husbands drink alcohol in India. Using the data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (2019–2021), this study examines the intermediating role of wives’ empowerment in the association between husbands’ drunkenness and IPV among currently married women (n= 16,360). Multidimensional women empowerment indices were constructed, and logistic regression was used to show the association between husbands’ drunkenness and the type of IPV among their wives with different empowerment levels. The IPV prevalence ranged from 12% for sexual assault to 47% for physical violence. The odds of physical violence (odds ratio (OR) = 3.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) [3.29–4.44]), sexual violence (OR = 3.88, 95% CI [ 2.98–5.05]), and emotional violence (OR = 4.94, 95% CI [4.02–6.05]) were higher among wives whose husbands were often drunk compared to those with never drunk husbands. However, with an increasing degree of husband drunkenness, the odds of emotional and sexual violence significantly reduced among wives with high empowerment indices. The results suggest the urgent need to curb alcohol consumption among men and the simultaneous socio-economic upliftment of women to reduce the prevalence of IPV. To further safeguard the welfare of women, it is also necessary to raise women’s understanding of current laws and their stringent enforcement.

‘Breakdown and healing’ - adaptation experiences of postpartum nurses returning to work: a descriptive phenomenological study

BackgroundPromoting the work adaptation of nurses returning to work after childbirth is key to improving their physical and mental health and ensuring the quality of nursing care. Although postpartum nurses have reported high work stress and poor adaptation after returning to work, little is known regarding the experiences, problems and further needs. This study aimed to explore the adaptation experiences of postpartum nurses returning to work.MethodsThis was a qualitative study with descriptive phenomenological approach. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted between March and May 2023 in four tertiary hospitals in Changsha, mainland China, which were selected using convenience sampling. A total of 16 postpartum nurses returning to work within one year were recruited using purposive sampling and maximum variation sampling. The interviews were analysed using the Colaizzi’s 7-step method.Results‘Breakdown and healing’ is a strong thread in postpartum nurses’ work adaptation. It links 13 subthemes in the interview data, which can be grouped under three overarching themes: (a) changes and challenges of multiple roles; (b) self-coping and social support; and (c) further needs after returning to work. The phrase ‘breakdown and healing’ reflects the mutual relationship between stress and coping among postpartum nurses. The changes and challenges associated with being required to fulfil multiple roles of mothers, wives and nurses make the subjects feel on the verge of ‘breakdown’. When returning to work, most of them move slowly towards ‘healing’ through positive self-management and support from their partners, families, supervisors and colleagues. Moreover, their ongoing demands and unsolved problems – such as their desire for a workplace that is friendly and serves their needs – were generated by the constant process of ‘breakdown and healing’.ConclusionsUnderstanding how postpartum nurses returning to work perceive adaptation experiences is essential for nursing managers, who can use the findings to implement targeted measures to shorten postpartum nurses’ maladaptation period after returning to work and promote their work adaptation. This study underscores the critical importance of personalized return-to-work training, flexible work arrangements, support from colleagues and managers, well-established maternal facilities and services, and targeted policy efforts in enhancing postpartum nurses’ work adaptation.

Sensuality and Spirituality in the Novel Crossroads Jasmine Musabegović

This essay follows Fatima (Fata), the protagonist of the novel Crossroads within the context of contemporary criticism, which essentially identifies all types of novelistic prose with a certain note of dialogism. In the role of mother and wife, the main character's communicative position directs the idea pattern of the novel from the external to the internal dialogue with herself. Fatima, wrapped in the mantle of an absolute subject, in the general chaos of war and existential paradox, transcends the role of victim and passive witness of the pogrom and through spiritual healing becomes an actor in the struggle. In the cognitive structure of the novel, the author breathes into her protagonist the knowledge that human destiny is almost always subject to the discursive power of intuition. And this undoubted power is given to people as a means and a rare possibility to overcome chaos.

Subjectivities of Older Spousal Caregivers in Rural Northern Thailand: A Qualitative Study on Sociocultural Influences

The aging society and changes in living arrangements significantly impact family caregiving patterns, particularly in older spousal caregivers. This study examined how the subjectivities of older spousal caregivers have been shaped by social discourse and practices. A qualitative research approach was adopted in rural northern villages in Thailand. Data collection included 1) narrative interviews with eight older primary spousal caregivers and eight family members and neighbors, 2) in-depth interviews with ten healthcare providers, and 3) participatory observation. Both thematic and inductive methods of data analysis were applied. The finding demonstrated three distinct subjectivities regarding caregivers: older persons, medical, and sociocultural discourse. Medical and older people’s discourses influenced negative subjectivity on older caregivers regarding their physical decline with age; however, positive subjectivity of being a compassionate and capable caregiver was regarded as a valuable role. The findings reflected the changing sociocultural discourse in the northern region of Thailand. A caregiver is perceived as kon jàa, which refers to the committed role of both wife and husband, who care for their spouse for the rest of their lives. The implications of this study can benefit community-based care systems by enhancing the understanding of social and cultural discourse on caring and couplehood and incorporating caregiver needs into the care plan of older people with chronic illnesses.

INTERPRETATIONS OF NAFKAH, GENDER RELATIONS, AND MOTIVATIONS FOR DIVORCE: A CASE STUDY OF DIVORCE LAWSUITS AT THE KEDIRI CITY RELIGIOUS COURT

The phenomenon of high divorce in Indonesian religious courts or Muslim communities causes government anxiety and raises cynical public opinion. Economic considerations are frequently referred to as the excuse for the wife's lawsuit. Data from the Kediri City Religious Court shows that there is a tendency for wives to file for divorce first. Not without justification, it is frequently prompted by the husband's perceived inability to satisfy the wife's requirements. The use of nafkah reasons in divorce can reveal that there is a contradictory tendency; on the one hand, women tend to charge a nafkah to men, and on the other hand, there is a tendency not to charge a nafkah to men or are willing to work to make ends meet. Divorce may not be a factor in limited economic conditions, but the perception of nafkah obligations imposed on husbands. It is critical to recognize that attempts to avoid divorce cannot be based just on economic empowerment but rather on cultural and religious ideas on partnerships and the separation of husband and wife roles. , this article examines the relationship between a contested divorce and economic conditions and perceptions of gender relations in the family, especially in earning a nafkah, to clarify this contradiction. Using a phenomenological approach. The economic reasons that have led wives to divorce are solely due to emptiness and even an emotional drought of love between husbands' wives. The indulgence of husband and wife in dividing household roles from transitional to egalitarian ideology also requires attention and respect for each other.

Midge and Esty: performing extraordinary Jewish womanhood in twenty-first century television

ABSTRACT The two main characters in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017) and Unorthodox (2020), Midge and Esty, traverse, circumvent, and subvert norms of behaviour that their husbands, families, and communities ascribe to them as Jewish women. Both series examine the friction between public and private spheres in considering the role of a married wife and mother, using specifically the lens of performance, either through stand-up comedy or musical performance, to establish Midge and Esty as extraordinary or peculiar. By relying on the excuse of difference, the two shows undercut Midge and Esty’s delineation of their own paths, employing them as examples of noncompliant behaviour. In staging performance as an act of rebellion tied to a woman’s right to self-expression, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Unorthodox contradict their ostensibly progressive embrace of modern, secular Jewish womanhood and ultimately encourage more traditional female roles. Examining these two contemporary series in tandem offers us an opportunity to consider and understand how, as film scholar Nathan Abrams asks regarding the development of news Jews and Jewesses in cinema, new trajectories of character development centred on the portrayal of Jewish women continue to emerge and to be articulated in the twenty-first century.

Posisi Tawar Perempuan Dalam Rumah Tangga: Studi Kasus Buruh Pabrik di PT. Kayu Lima Sejahtera

Women today must carry out their duties as housewives and must also work to help the family economy.

Data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that women work as laborers to help meet household needs, which has an impact on financial sufficiency and helps create household harmony. However, this does not always have a positive impact, but also has a negative impact on women because they have to feel exhausted due to having to do household chores. Family time is also reduced, which makes their children more independent and able to understand their parents' work, regardless of their young age. This research shows that the existing social construction in society about the role of a good wife only around the domestic can be broken. In the Anjir Serapat Village community, it is women who hold a more dominant public role.

Longitudinal dyadic interplay between marital conflict and psychological well‐being in couples: The moderating roles of wives' employment

AbstractThis study examined longitudinal dyadic and within‐partner associations among self‐esteem, subjective happiness, and marital conflict in married couples, with a possible moderating role of wives' employment status. Data were analyzed from the Panel Study on Korean Children, nationwide longitudinal data. The study sample included 1668 married couples (N = 3336 participants) where both partners provided separate data annually across three waves. Husbands' and wives' mean ages at T1 were 39.3 and 36.8 years, respectively. For both partners, self‐esteem and subjective happiness were related bidirectionally at an individual level. Wives' marital conflict was linked to husbands' subsequent marital conflict and vice versa. Wives played a greater role in their husbands’ self‐esteem than vice versa. Findings suggest that wives tend to be their husband's substantial source of perceived psychological well‐being than the reverse; however, the benefit of psychological well‐being is likely to be lower for husbands of stay‐at‐home wives.

Gender, Borders and Boundaries in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre

The concept of borders and boundaries is one of the important themes in English literature. It might refer to national borders or divisions within countries or symbolize physical barriers, societal divisions or personal limitations. Metaphorically, borders and boundaries might mean the boundaries based on caste, color, creed or sex or represent expectations and prejudices or search for selfhood and identity. Writers from the marginalized communities take up the themes of construction of identity in their writing. Similarly, African-American writers, while addressing the issues of race, gender and class, illustrate their struggle and experiences. Their own lives serve as an inspiration to write about the trauma of displacement and slavery. The English novel in the 18th and 19th century largely focused on women primarily confined to the roles of wife, mother and homemaker. However, some novelists such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Aphra Behn challenged gender stereotypes and advocated for greater female autonomy and intellectual freedom. Similarly, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, Charlotte Bronte etc. questioned the prevailing attitudes and provided a fresh perspective on gender issues. Whereas Jane Austen celebrates intelligent and strong-willed female characters who resist societal pressures, Gaskell delves into the lives of working-class women and those on the margins of society. Similarly, Hardy chooses the sub-title A Pure Woman for his novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles in order to question the Victorian norms. The paper discusses Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and analyses how the novel embodies rebellion against societal constraints by presenting an unconventional heroine who is able to move beyond boundaries and carve her path amid restrictions imposed by society in which she lives.
