Barnes","doi":"10.22381/jrgs11220215","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22381/jrgs11220215","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize and analyze existing evidence on the impact of COVID-19-related stress, anxiety, and depression on sexual health. With increasing evidence of psychological distress as a result of COVID-19-related confinement, physical distancing, and social isolation, there is an essential demand for comprehending whether diminished incidence of social and sexual connections has resulted in unsatisfactory mental health outcomes. In this research, prior findings were cumulated indicating that COVID-19 lockdown measures have negatively affected sexual health and behaviors. I carried out a quantitative literature review of ProQuest, Scopus, and the Web of Science throughout June 2021, with search terms including \"sexual activity + COVID-19,\" \"sexual health + COVID-19,\" \"sexual behavior + COVID-19,\" \"sexual life + COVID-19,\" and \"sexual desire + COVID-19.\" As I analyzed research published between 2020 and 2021, only 379 papers met the eligibility criteria. By removing controversial or unclear findings (scanty/unimportant data), results unsupported by replication, undetailed content, or papers having quite similar titles, I decided on 22, chiefly empirical, sources. Subsequent analyses should develop on intimate relationships, family functions, and sexual behavior of partners during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research should thus investigate how COVID-19-related confinement, physical distancing, and social isolation have impacted sexual health. Attention should be directed to sexual health and behaviors associated with COVID-19 lockdown measures.","PeriodicalId":342957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Gender Studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128954575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mortaki","doi":"10.22381/jrgs6120163","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22381/jrgs6120163","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Representations of Maternity in ArtThe r epr esentation of mat er nity in visual arts has an intertempora l and ecumenical character, and since prehistoric times to this day there has been an immense variety a nd innumerable versions ther eof (Betterton, 2006). Maternity's ecumenical dimension (Simonton, 2011) is marked by the fact that it is related to unchanging, or very slowly changing, elements, which allow us to consider them as stable, due to the relatively stable subjective human situation in terms of anatomy and biology, whereas it is always experienced in specific changing and varying conditions, clad with the corresponding ideology. Due to the position she de facto holds, for better or for worse, in the family with regard to giving birth to and raising the children, the mother is a carrier of ideology, given that she reproduces within the family nucleus the values of the social system (Castilla del Pino, 1973).Furthermore, representation of the mother in art is related to its psychological meaning as well as to the artist's social determinations (Jennings & Minde, 1996), which affect not only the material and the style, but also the ideological patterns used by him/her. Various psychoanalytic approaches of artwork attempting to int erpret the artist's unconscious - in particular in works of Futurist, avant-garde and also conceptual as well as feminist artists (Heath, 2013; Meskimmon, 2007) - have asserted the relevance of aesthetic experience and creation with the relationship to the mother, which has been established not only as the archetype of relationships with people, but also as the archetype of the first aesthetic experience (Chernick & Klein, 2011). It has been argued that the idiom, the particular manner in which a mother takes car e of the baby a nd t he experience of such handling by the child, constitutes the first human aesthetic which, when further extended, looks like the early sense of unity with the mother (Spitz, 1985). Besides, all the more recent correlations between psychoanalytical data and art are based on the explicit or implicit assumption of the ability of adults to retrogress - while remaining adults - to the mental situation of the first experiences, which are reactivated and re-experienced as such throughout the course of an individual's life, so as to operate in a layered model of mental significance (Kristeva, 1995), directly linked to the so-called visual mechanism through which, even when the r epr esentat ion of the ima ge cha nges, the representation of the feeling cladding it r emains unaltered. Thus, the deferred experience helps understand the artwork.Julia Kristeva, pioneer semiologist and psychoanalyst, reduces the entire artistic creation to the relationship with the mother, which she qualifies as the semiotic chora, coming into action in every artwork, even where the latter does not depict maternity. Irrespective of the form of the final product, the mother's body is what is preser","PeriodicalId":342957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Gender Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125901069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gudjonsson","doi":"10.22381/jrgs7120175","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22381/jrgs7120175","url":null,"abstract":"\"I prefer male enemies to female ones; I can survive a dog's bite better than a scorpion's sting.\"(Matshona Dhliwayo)IntroductionEquitable access for women to employment, entrepreneurship and credit cannot be considered simply a \"women's issue\" (Joshi et al., 2015). In light of the causes of the recent financial crisis, the question can be raised of whether a more balanced representation of women, in industrial and financial firms, would have avoided corporate scandals and poor performance (Adams and Funk, 2012). Recent institutional policy interventions, such as gender quotas in corporate leading positions, show clear proof that gender equality and discrimination are now strategic issues.These reasons contributed to the success of microfinance institutions (MFIs) that are considered women paladins in the financial industry giving them access to credit. MFIs are a valid alternative to a conventional bank when providing financing to disadvantaged and poor people (Yunus et al., 2010; Quayes, 2012). Through smaller loans (outreach depth) granted to as many clients as possible (outreach breadth), MFIs promise to fight poverty, contribute to pro-poor growth (Mayoux, 2010) and to the empowerment of women who are the natural borrowers of these organizations (Strom et al., 2014). This evidence is driven by at least four reasons. First, in poor countries, women are poorer than men (Agier and Szafarz, 2013) and consequently they are natural candidates for MFIs to the point that their percentage on total borrowers has been used as a proxy of outreach depth (Mori et al., 2015). Second, women are usually considered credit constrained (Fletschner, 2008; 2009), investing in small-scale projects that are unattractive to conventional banks (Armendariz and Morduch, 2010). Third, capital access to women ensures more social (Aggarwal et al., 2015) and economic (Fletschner, 2008) benefits to their households than would occur if borrowers were men. Finally, women are better re-payers, enhancing the persistence of the usually fragile business model of the MFIs (Boehe and Cruz, 2013; D'Espallier et al., 2011).While women are the main target of MFIs and their empowerment has become crucial in microfinance, a still unanswered question is whether they face gender discrimination in credit conditions. In fact, in an attempt to grant smaller loans to as many clients as possible, credit rationing could potentially damage women, moving MFIs away from their mission of improving the condition of women and promoting their rights. Although gender discrimination cannot be treated as a marginal issue in microfinance (Mayoux, 2010), there are few studies on the topic and evidence ispuzzling, to say the least. For example, Storey (2002) does not find any denial rate divergence between men and women, as well as Corsi and De Angelis (2017) who find no evidence of gender discrimination against women borrowers in loan size. Agier and Szafarz (2013) document that women are discriminated in ","PeriodicalId":342957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Gender Studies","volume":"7 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132455587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
