The book closes with an epilogue stepping into the 1980s to combine feminist film and science fiction by examining Lizzie Borden’s 1983 film Born in flames. Even among feminist critics, there was disagreement over the film seemingly advocating violence. Samer argues that while feminist documentary and experimental film and feminist science fiction ostensibly did the same thing – ‘engender[ing] the vast imagination of what might follow the Lesbian in her wake’ (p. 218) – they did not intertwine often, and Samer found little evidence of overlap in participation. The ‘intensity’ of Born in flames’ reception was, Samer argues, due to it being one of the few pieces of media that engages both genres and ‘reveals that lesbian potentiality was not for all’ (p. 218). Samer makes clear that this book is a reaction to the erasure of lesbian feminism in modern queer studies. They argue that queer studies, in the dismissal of 1970s lesbian feminism, in fact, perpetuates hegemonic white feminist histories, which ignored the key roles played by women of colour as well as trans and gender non-conforming feminists. Contrary to this dominant discourse, Samer argues that trans lesbians were central to the creation of lesbian feminist cultures and spaces. ‘This era does not belong to transphobic feminists, and trans and queer scholars should not cede it to them’, Samer writes (p. 33). Furthermore, they argue, ‘[t]he writing of feminist historiography need not stall in the face of trans existence. Trans existence does not erase, replace, or diminish cis lesbian existence’ (p. 34). This is one of the greatest strengths of the book: Samer, a self-described nonbinary queer scholar, argues that both the heteropatriarchy and queer studies share what Sara Ahmed has described as ‘the investment in [the] misery’ of the lesbian feminist, a figure that queer studies has found ‘particularly deserving of derision’ (p. 8). They find the current literature lacking in regard to lesbian feminists, particularly of the 1970s, and with Lesbian potentiality and feminist media in the 1970s, they seek to change the discourse.","PeriodicalId":15911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"515 - 517"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48530316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These analyses are therefore limited based on their lack of attention to ethnic, legal/political, and cultural differences within the United States, especially in regard to Indigenous populations. Building on previous exploring the family as a site of gender role development, and resilience, Tribal Critical Race Theory is used in this article to contextualize our findings with particular attention to how colonization has reinforced patriarchy and served to elevate European American thought and experiences. In semi-structured life-history interviews, participants described shifting gender norms in attempts to resist assimilation ideals and a perception of motherhood as holding capacity for challenging settler culture and reclaiming power. Prominent themes for participants included: (a) the role of strong women within the community; (b) the continuum of patriarchal to egalitarian gender norms and beliefs; (c) the roles of mothers and impact of motherhood; (d) norms surrounding early childbearing and marriage; and (e) gendered caretaking. This research finds that tribal women, as primary sources of socialization for children and community, are resisting patriarchal and colonial gender-related expectations and messages and forging a path of strength and resiliency.","PeriodicalId":15911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"525 - 538"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44383719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When scholars from political science, social science or economics discuss transparency, many share an overwhelmingly positive understanding of it, which has, lately, come under pressure. Adding to this critique, I argue that Transparent draws attention to the fact that transparency, particularly for the queer subject is deeply ambivalent. To back up this claim, I offer close readings: i) of the establishing shot, which breaks the 180°-rule to warn against trusting what is offered to be seen; ii) of a scene in which Maura describes withstanding pressure from the heteronormative gaze, and iii) a scene in which Ali begins to interrogate her own practices of in_visibilisation. Through its mise-en-scène, this last example offers ‘the translucent’ as an alternative term, a middle ground between a potentially oppressive, isolating and thus silencing invisibility and a potentially exposing, objectifying and thus threatening visibility.","PeriodicalId":15911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gender Studies","volume":" 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41252677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study uses document analysis, interviews with gender experts and activists, and a survey of 109 respondents to explore the different quarantine behaviours of men and women in the two countries. The analysis reveals how the virus was handled differently in the two countries, with Ukraine implementing strict lockdowns while Belarus downplayed the severity of the virus. In addition, the survey analysis was based on four dimensions - economic, social, healthcare and well-being, and civic empowerment - contributing to uncovering citizens' perceptions of the implications of the pandemic in their daily lives. The paper concludes by providing policy recommendations to address the economic and social impacts of the pandemic, as well as ways to better manage future health crises by addressing gender-specific needs.

By conducting 30 interviews with highly educated Chinese women between the ages of 18 and 30 living in urban cities, the results of this study indicate that taking, editing, and sharing selfies have become increasingly embedded in their everyday lives. The female interviewees use the apps to narrow their jawline, change the size of their eyes and nose, remove acne, and smooth their skin, revealing that young women in China are not completely free of patriarchal beauty standards. However, the interviewees acknowledge that the selfies have captured their real lives and conveyed their personalities. They have been able to express their true selves and have gained self-pleasure from this process. In this way, the interviewees’ online self-representation is deeply linked to their offline lives. This study enriches current debates on women’s empowerment in contemporary China. The practice of online self-representation can be viewed as a process of self-actualization because it empowers women by solidifying their agency and further contributes to the formation of a reflexive identity.","PeriodicalId":15911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gender Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46387944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
