Discussion Of Women Research Articles

Obstetric care under the military health system: An analysis of active-duty women's and female spouses' online discussions.

This research undertakes a thematic analysis of discussion threads on social media forums to determine women's perceptions of quality of obstetric care under TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select. Following an open coding process and thematic analysis, themes arose regarding obstetric care as experienced by active-duty women as well as female spouses of active-duty members. Themes surrounding active-duty perceptions of quality of obstetric care concerned proximity to care deferred deliveries, lack of care options, deficient on-base care, better civilian care experiences, and lamenting having less options than spouses. Spouses generated themes of positive connotation with TRICARE Select, including low costs, freedom of choice, and proximity to care and negative connotation with TRICARE Prime, such as difficulty getting care, process bureaucracy, and deficient care. Ample evidence pointed to a strong spouse preference for TRICARE Select over TRICARE Prime, but there was not enough evidence to indicate if active-duty women were pursuing out-of-pocket care to circumvent TRICARE Prime restrictions. Overall, women's discussions point to a need to improve the Military Health System and concerningly suggest active-duty women are confined to care within a system plagued with issues that impact obstetric care.

De-normalizing Obstetric Violence in Italy: Digital Storytelling as Source of Information and Identification.

A #MeToo movement ("#ancheame" in Italian) gained momentum in Italy in January 2023 in the wake of a newborn's death resulting peak in women's online discussion about obstetric violence. This research explored women's perceptions of obstetric violence as shared online.

Through the method of digital storytelling the results indicate that medical procedures done without consent, pressure to breastfeed, verbal aggression, and a lack of respect, information, and attention to women's needs may constitute perceived aspects of obstetric violence.

DISKURSUS PEREMPUAN SEBAGAI KEPALA RUMAH TANGGA (TEORI FEMINIST JURISPRUDENCE)

This study explores the "Discourse of Women as Heads of Households (Feminist Jurisprudence Theory)" with a focus on feminist jurisprudence theory's significant role in the field of legal studies, due to its ideas influencing many debates on sexual and domestic violence, workplace inequality, and gender-based discrimination. Through various approaches, feminists have identified gender components and the gender implications of legal norms and their supposedly neutral implementation, which have historically adversely impacted women in the contexts of employment, divorce, reproductive rights, rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. This research is a library research study, employing a qualitative research methodology, where primary data was collected by sourcing relevant books, supplemented by secondary data from articles, papers, news websites, etc. The study identifies gender-biased legal norms that affect women's roles as heads of households, particularly in terms of access to economic resources, family decision-making, and legal protection. Through a critical approach, this study also highlights the challenges faced by female heads of households in maintaining justice within the family, and the urgent need for legal reform to achieve better gender equality. Considering the perspectives from feminist jurisprudence theory, this research emphasizes the importance of changing phallocentric legal paradigms to accommodate the significant contributions of women in managing households and building a gender-inclusive society.

Transformation of Yi Women's Discourse from Yi Literature

The subject matter of literary creation often comes from life, and literary works reflect a certain social outlook. Yi literature is a reflection of Yi society and culture, which contains the voices and expressions about Yi women in different historical periods and social environments. There are many works depicting Yi women in Yi literature, and there are also many works in which Yi women express their own life experiences. We can see the status of Yi women in different societies and times from the situation of Yi women in Yi literature.

Пародирование женского дискурса в «Непобедимом солнце» В. Пелевина

Studies of women's discourse have not lost their relevance for more than half a century: the image of women and the whole complex of "female" issues have become the subject of special consideration of a number of humanities (philosophy, sociology, cultural studies, linguistics, literary studies). In the domestic literature of recent decades, women's discourse is not only the object of comprehension, but also of parody, primarily in postmodernist prose that ridicules the extremes of feminist ethics and aesthetics. The present article is devoted to the analysis of parodying female discourse in the novel by Pelevin's novel The Invincible Sun. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that for the first time in Russian literary studies the novel of the novelist is considered in the stated aspect. It is established that, firstly, V. Pelevin, demonstrating a negative attitude to the ideology of feminism, with a large share of irony portrays representatives of liberal communities and the generation that grew up on the images generated by commercial organizations and media. Secondly, in the novel, the female discourse is not only parodied but also carnivalized, which is expressed by the protagonist: the protagonist is a collective image of stereotypes of an independent woman, closed in on herself, who cannot imagine the world without the labels she has chosen for herself and her surroundings.

«По прозвищу Моисей»: литературные интерпретации жизни Харриет Табмен

The article is devoted to the formation of Harriet Tubman's image in the US literature. Two books belonging to the spread of Afrocentrism and the second wave of feminism — A. Petrie's non-fiction novel A Girl Called Moses: The Story of Harriet Tubman and M. Heidish's novel A Woman Called Moses — are chosen as the material for analysis. The article analyzes the main qualitative characteristics identified as early as in S. Bradford's book Harriet, Moses of Her People that form the discourse of race and gender in the mentioned narratives about Tubman, and identifies the main transformations of these characteristics. Thus, the work of African-American author A. Petrie reflects to a greater extent the sentiments of all her fellow women in the 1950s-60s Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States: while remaining within the generally accepted gender framework of feminine virtues, at the same time, the black woman was stepping out of her allotted racial limits. Furthermore, she shows that slavery is a cultural trauma that still defines how the African American community sees itself and its place in the society and how slavery is remembered as a means of self-identification within the African American community. Created by the white writer M. Heidish in the mid-1970s, during the rise of the second wave of the feminist movement, the novel reflects the very sentiments that characterized this movement and shows the view of a sympathetic Other on the issue of race. Thus, the article establishes the fact that Harriet Tubman plays a very important role in the African-American and women's discourse in the United States as an image that is given the necessary functions and qualities for its time based on the socio-cultural context contemporary to the interpreter.

Linguistic Analysis: Representation of Women in the Discourse of Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates in Political News

This research aims to elucidate the construction of symbolic meaning within the discourse of women through Fairclough's analysis of online news. The research method employed a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis techniques, utilizing instruments devised by the researcher. Data were collected through documentation methods, identifying auxiliary/modal verbs, verbs, nouns, adjectives, conjunctions, nominal phrases, and numeral phrases within the text. Findings revealed a linguistic hierarchy reflecting gender equality ideology and the distribution of political power. Representations through word and phrase choices depicted male dominance in Indonesian politics, efforts to enhance women's roles in policy structures, and hopes to win elections with strong support. This analysis aids in understanding how women's discourse is shaped and influences perceptions and actions in daily communication. Through this article, it is anticipated that awareness regarding language usage to strengthen gender equality will increase, emphasizing the continual need to expand women's participation in shaping political policies.

Women's Discourse in Prabha Khaitan's Prose Literature: A Political Perspective

हिन्दी कथा साहित्य में स्त्री विमर्श जिसमें नारी जीवन की अनेक समस्याएँ देखने को मिलता है। हिन्दी साहित्य में छायावाद काल से स्त्री विमर्श का जन्म माना जाता है। प्रेमचंद से लेकर आज तक अनेक पुरुष लेखकों ने स्त्री समस्या को अपना विषय बनाया लेकिन उस रूप में नहीं लिखा जिस रूप में स्वयं महिला लेखिकाओने लिखी है । अतः स्त्री विमर्श की शुरुआती गूंज पश्चिम में देखनेको मिला। सान 1960 ई के आसपास नारी सशक्तिकरण ज़ोर पकड़ी जिसमें चार नाम चर्चित है । उषा प्रियम्वदा , कृषणा सोबती , मन्नू भण्डारी एवं शिवानी आदि लेखिका ओं ने नारी मन की अन्तद्रवन्दवों एवं आप बीती घटनाओं को उकरेना शुरू किए और स्त्री विमर्शएक जवलंत मुद्दा है। आठवें दसक आते आते यही विषय एक आंदोलन का रूप ले लिया जो शुरुआती स्त्री विमर्श से ज्यादा सिध्ध हुआ । आज मैत्रेयी पुष्पा तक आते आते महिला लेखिकाओं की बाढ़ सी आ गयी स्त्रीवादी सिध्द्धांतोंका उदेश्य लैंगिक असमानता की प्रकृति एवं कारणो को समझना तथा इसके फल स्वरूप पैदा होनेवाले लैंगिक भेदभाव की राजनीति और शक्ति संतुलन के सिध्द्धांतों पर इसके असर की व्याखया करना है । स्त्री विमर्श संबंधी राजनैतिक प्रचारों का ज़ोर प्रजना संबंधी अधिकार, घरेलू हिंसा ,मातृत्व अवकाश , समान वेतन संबंधी अधिकार , यौन उत्पीड़न, भेदभाव एवं यौन हिंसा पर रहता है । प्रभा खेतान लिखती है की “ ज़्यादातर लेखिकाएँ आलोकना की आपाधापी में पीछे छूट गई है। स्त्री की अपनी संस्कृति है , इतिहास में इसे भिन्न माना जाता रहा लेकिन उसे अलग पहचान नहीं दी गई । चूंकि अलग से स्त्री शक्ति की सत्ता नहीं थी इसलिए सत्ता को अलग पहचान नहीं मिली। “ संविधान प्रदत स्त्री – पुरुष समानता के बावजूद स्त्री को इंसाफ नहीं मिलता । न्याय के पैरोकार स्त्री की सुरक्षा करनेकी जगह खिलवाड़ करते आए हैं। पुलिस भी समाज में इंसाफ के बदले अन्याय ही करते आए हें। इसी सच्चाई को प्रभा खेतान ने अपने उपन्यासों में उभारने का प्रयास किया हें । मूखय शब्दों : स्त्री विमर्श , असमानता , स्त्रीवाद , अधिकार

The Interpretation of Women's Discourse in the Movie "Flipped" via the Lens of Eco-Feminism

The novel by Wendelin Van Draanen with the same name serves as the inspiration for the film Flipped . The film portrays the nostalgic emotions between young boys and girls as it narrates a young and lovely love story in America in the early 1960s. At the same time, the film also features the writer's thoughts and consideration of societal contents underlying the development of the natural environment and the image of women. Feminism embodies both the resistance of the underprivileged and the symbol of good nature. As the foundation, this paper explored how well the natural world shaped women's social consciousness and discoursed from the perspective of eco-feminism. Additionally, the paper also discusses the impact of environmental factors that contributed to the film's vivid environmental episodes, pays close attention to the struggles of the female supporting characters in the context of the times, and emphasizes how the environment and even the discourse of women are oppressive. Its statement of the notion that nature and women are linked and mutually reinforcing also provides a fresh viewpoint on the investigation of how women are portrayed in culture. The patriarchal environment's ideas of duality and hierarchical division have been turned on its head.

Bhartiya Parmpra evm Istri Vimarsh

In fact, women's discussion is contemporary thinking. Women's life has been the central theme of Hindi literature even in the initial period, but the fact is that in this either the life story of the woman remained in the center or her tragedy. In fact, women's awareness of their identity, self-consciousness and existence gradually developed in post-independence Hindi literature. Self-awareness, consciousness of one's rights and existence emerged as the main force of women's discussion.
 

Controversy Spokesperson of G20 Indonesia: A Critical Discourse Analysis Study

Bloomberg Businessweek has published the news titled G-20 Role for 27-year-old Indonesia Singer Sparks Criticism. The news contains controversy about Maudy Ayunda's role as a spokesperson for G20 Indonesia. The research is interesting because the power of international news can dominate the political issues of national media, especially since the person who gets attacked is a female gender figure who is also a celebrity. This research used qualitative and descriptive methods. The source of research data is a Bloomberg article written by Yudith Ho and Rieka Rahadiana in 2022. Text analysis was used to analyze the data, with an emphasis on women's discourse from Roger Fowler. The results show the existence of discourse battles carried out by critics. Wasisto Raharjo and Irfan Wahyudi's thoughts became an opinion subject because the government did not choose Maudy Ayunda correctly as the international spokesperson. From this analysis, this research contains an element of controversy and a reasonable interpretation that the point of view of critics is different from the point of view of ordinary people

WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION IN THE NOMINATION OF LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS ACCORDING TO LAW NUMBER 7 OF 2017 ON ELECTIONS

This scientific work focuses on the discussion of Women's Representation of at least 30% in the nomination of legislative members according to Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning Elections. In this work the author raised 2 (two) major discussions, the first related to the basis of consideration of women's representation of at least 30% in the legislative nomination and the second related to the legal implications of the rule. To answer these two discussions, the writer uses a normative juridical legal approach through the study of legal materials and sources of literature related to the theme that the writer adopts. From the results of this study the authors found several urgent issues that underlie the regulation of women's representation at least 30% in legislative nominations. The legal implications for election participants who do not obey these rules are disqualified from the electoral process in the electoral district concerned, these rules also serve as a legal umbrella against women who have not been accommodated in the political process. Although the rules related to women's representation have a positive impact on the life of politics in Indonesia, these rules need to be evaluated and refined to ensure women's representation.

WOMEN'S ANNIHILATION IN KIDS TV SHOW “SI BOLANG”

Si Bolang has aired in Trans7 since 2006 and achieved various awards as a kids-friendly show. However, this show never showed a girl as its main character and limited the appearance of women or girls. The contents of Si Bolang become a discourse representation of its producer. This research reviewed the women's discourse in the Si Bolang by elaborating on the screen's symbolic annihilation of girls and women. This research used Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method to analyze through three dimensions: text, discourse practice, and social praxis. This research analyzed the full episode of Si Bolang uploaded on YouTube by the official account of Trans7. The perspective framework used in this research is the symbolic annihilation of Gaye Tuchman. The text analysis shows that there are absences of women or girls. They have a limited appearance and only appear in the domestic realm, which is also a form of trivialization. There are discourse practices of femininity, mothering, the culture of domesticity, and the division of work in the hunting-gathering society that influence Si Bolang's content. Women's annihilation and role restriction of women on the screen shows that Si Bolang formed from patriarchal discourse. This discourse tends to eliminate and limit women's role in society. Researchers need to review women's discourse in TV or other media kids' shows to encourage gender equality in Indonesia's media.

Comparing Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre in Foucault's Perspective to Interpret "The Madwoman in the Attic"

Charlotte Bronte portrayed a marginal character in Jane Eyre, Bertha Mason, the madwoman in the attic. Many readers thought she was insane, ugly, and silent at the same time. She emerges from the attic later to recount her forgotten background in Wide Sargasso Sea when Jane Rhys investigates her family history. Whether it is the postmodern writing style or the psychological exploration of the heroine in the novel, it has the artistic research value of various interpretations. The study of Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre mainly focuses on postcolonial discourse and identity discourse. It is rare to analyze Bertha from the perspective of Foucault's discourse power theory. This essay interprets Bertha and Antoinette's characterizations in terms of the interrelationships of discourse, power, and knowledge based on Foucault's theory of discursive power. It examines the lack of women's discourse and its reconstruction, broadens the viewpoints of Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre, and deepens our comprehension of The Madwoman in the Attic.

Discourse of Women's Sexuality in the Lecture of Ustaz Khalid Basalamah

The purpose of writing this study is to describe how Ustaz Khalid Basalamah views the female body and what kind of patriarchal language is used by Ustaz Khalid Basalamah. The method used is a qualitative analysis using analytical theory. The data (7-minute Youtube video transcript) was taken based on deliberate stratified sampling and analyzed using the Halliday MAK transitivity system and the three-domain interaction of JR Martin and PRR White's valuation theory. It was found that from the language of Khalid Basalamah's lectures, the discourse on the female body was operationalized based on the idea of tabarruj in Islam. This operation largely spreads relational processes and negative evaluations in intensive heteroglossia expression. Basalamah, in her talk, assesses women's behavior through the purpose of women dressing up and embellishing; patriarchal language towards women's bodies in her lectures uses more material processes, followed by relational processes. With this Basalamah places women's bodies as an important discourse to be supervised and controlled by men. Furthermore, it means that men have power over women's bodies, while women must obey their husbands.

LONG-STANDING NARRATIVE OF INDONESIAN ISLAMIC WOMEN IN FOUR NOVELS BY HABIBURRAHMAN EL SHIRAZY

Discussions about Islamic women have been buzzing in Indonesia after the collapse of the New Order. Its presence directly contradicts the narratives of women that were influenced by western thought, such as liberalism and secularism, as well as by global islamization movement from the Middle East. The conflicts that arose were about the role of women in the public sphere, women's independence, women's bodies and sexuality. This study aims to find similarities between ideas about Islamic women and the practice of Islamic women's discourse in Indonesian society. This study uses an intrinsic study method and a sociology of literature approach to reveal the relationship of the text to social conditions in society. The result shows that the depiction of Islamic women in the four texts is the same as the practice of Islamic women's discourse that existed in Islamic societies even before Indonesia's independence. It is considered as a writing-back movement by Habiburrahman El Shirazy to propagate the majority version of Islamic values in Indonesia.

Deconstructing Authority with Humor - The Cultural Adaptation and Reinvention of Women’s Discourse in Stand-Up Comedy of China

This paper explores the adaptation and alienation of Western postmodern approaches to female empowerment in China through an analysis of female discourse in the stand-up comedy industry. I used textual analysis to examine the discourses and audience feedback of female performers in the representative Chinese talk show "Rock & Roast". The results of this paper are divided into two parts: 1. the three main portraits and discourse strategies of female stand-up comedians extracted from their words; and 2. a comparison of public opinion on the acceptance of different female discourses and images in the first part with the audience's evaluation. The findings of the study show that female stand-up comedians are mainly moulded through language into three categories: women in traditional relationships, feminist fighters and highly educated independent women. The audience's feedback suggests that a new system of authoritative judgement between Western thought and traditional Chinese gender values is in the process of being born. In stand-up comedy, a model image of women that demands independence but without touching on gender issues is being promoted as the "most qualified" representation of women's image. The category of female discourse has an underlying premise of male discourse, and thus all talk of female discourse is inextricably bound up with male-centrism. Here, the term discourse is important for all normative forms of human life, in addition to what is commonly thought of as forms of speech. For example, Foucault's discourse of power and Said's theory of postcolonial discourse in the East start from all normative forms in life. When we analyze women's discourse in Chinese communication, we also focus on the normative forms of their lives in addition to words, exploring the crux of the problem from the deep psychological factors of culture, history, and anthropology.Generally speaking, women's discourse in contemporary Chinese communication is often characterized by several problems: misinterpretation, deflection, and pleasing, etc. Even though there are a number of feminist movements in contemporary China, they may not be able to truly and correctly address feminist issues. This does not lie in the strength of male power in China, but in the biased arguments and misperceptions of this issue in women's visions.

“All we have to do, is do it all”: Exploring middle-career women's academic identities in Australian higher education using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis

We explored how middle-career women academics within Australian public higher education conceptualise their academic identities, and the subject positions made available through later-career women's discourse. Five subject positions were identified – The Pragmatic Woman (who constructs a practical positioning in learning how to survive in academia); The Prototypical Woman (expected to engage in their professional and personal responsibilities in feminine, maternal ways); The Credible Woman (the perception of what Australian public higher education setting ideally expects); The Super Woman (who balances her professional and personal lives, and puts the needs of the institution, and other people, before herself); and The Sacrificial Woman (sacrificing the self to meet the demands of other personal and professional responsibilities). The identified discourses created subjectivities for the middle-career women academics that emphasised the need for them to work even harder, as they were afforded less allowances, and held to higher standards, than their male academic counterparts.
