Kapitalisme Tubuh Perempuan: Sebuah Pendisiplinan Atau Industrialisasi

The beauty of women's bodies in the context of today's media has transformed into an object of public consumerism that cannot be avoided. The body is no longer just a biological form but an exploration of itself. Meanwhile, the exploration and expansion of the body have a very subtle difference, because, in the end, the body becomes a passive object during the self-egoists active subject. The demand for an ideal body in public discourse impels women to modify their bodies. The discourse on women's bodies is not only in the form of powerlessness over their bodies, but also political tendencies and powers that regulate women as objects of sexuality, women's body discourse becomes the most essential thing in political interests. As a result, taking care of the body and appearance has now become a necessity for women due to the demands of social construction which have a major influence on the ideal standard of female beauty. The body of women who transforms into consumptive materialism is used as an attraction for industrialization in a change in symbolic capital. This contestation was formed in the arena of consumerism, capitalism, hedonism, and patriarchal culture which resulted in increasingly strong women's constructivism in the industrialized world which is always associated with the problem of the negative image of women's bodies and self.

Heterogeneity In Women’s Trauma Histories: Impact On Substance Use Disorder Severity

ABSTRACT Trauma and substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently co-occur, especially in women. Previous studies have attempted to determine if individual differences in trauma histories could be meaningfully categorized but few studies have focused solely on women, especially those reporting substance use problems. A total of 130 women (M age = 30.7, SD = 7.9) self reporting past-year substance use problems completed comprehensive measures assessing lifetime exposure to a variety of traumatic events as well as substance use patterns and severity. Using latent class analysis, three classes emerged, a Low Lifetime Interpersonal Trauma class (40%, n = 52), a Moderate Lifetime Interpersonal Trauma class (23.8%, n = 31) and a High Lifetime Interpersonal Trauma class (36.2%, n = 47). Groups did not vary on daily/almost daily use of different types of substances and polysubstance use frequency but were significantly different on SUD severity, with the Moderate and the High Lifetime Interpersonal Trauma classes reporting severe SUD severity in comparison to moderate severity for the Low Interpersonal Trauma class. The findings of the current study indicate that women experiencing substance use problems should receive SUD treatment in a trauma-informed manner but that not all may require integrated trauma and substance use interventions.

The Influence of the Development of Feminism on Women's Self awakening in the 20th Century

The development of western feminism in the 20th century has experienced three waves. During this period, western women continued to strive for equal rights like men had through feminist movements and trends of thought, which provided an ideological and theoretical basis for women's awakening. In 2003, The Hours won the Oscar, bringing feminism into the public's view. The film tells of the inextricable relationship between three women of different times and the novel Mrs. Dalloway. The stories of the three heroines occur in the three waves of feminism respectively. Their struggle and growth represent the development of feminism in different periods, which is also an obvious feature of the unprecedented rise of women's gender consciousness. This paper mainly analyzes the film language of the three female characters from the perspective of micro or macro feminism and narrates them through the sequence of the film plot and time development, thus reflecting the influence of the development of feminism on women's self-awakening in the 20th century.
