During our interviews, we used the latter term, and in our survey we referred to “Korean cultural products”) (Korean Wave) amongst young Vietnamese women and examine its socio-cultural implications. To this end, we used in-depth interviews and a survey questionnaire as the main methods of data collection and endeavored to identify the trends and meaning of young women’s consumption of Hallyu products in Vietnam. Findings suggest that these signify the following: (i) the emergence of a new generation of womanhood in Vietnam and their empowerment as modern consumers who navigate consumer choices and complement information through the use of diverse channels, and (ii) their desire to construct a modern and cosmopolitan femininity and lifestyle underpinned by the changing role and status of women in the country. These findings add to a growing body of literature on the transnational consumption of media and goods as well as on women’s empowerment, especially in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"184 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1924482","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45574491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to unveil women’s leadership in Pakistani universities. Using a feminist perspective, we argue that female academics encounter multiple barriers at work. The data for this paper was collected via in-depth interviews with twelve women leaders from public universities in Islamabad, Pakistan to understand their experiences. Our findings show how our research participants struggled in order to navigate their careers. This paper documents organizational factors such as male-dominated networks, stereotypes and personal factors, for instance, time spent on familial roles that may hamper their positions. Clearly, they encountered constraints in reaching top management levels and sustaining these. However, in order to achieve such positions these women acknowledged the support of family, their high socioeconomic status and effective networking and mentoring relations with peers. The insights gained by this study illustrate how they navigated the male-centric realm of higher education and these should be useful for those who aspire to be leaders. Our research should also offer some potential strategies for closing the gender gap in universities by facilitating women to assume leadership positions.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"208 - 231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1924481","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44236645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a long time, it was characterized by under-representation of women in its ranks. The longstanding quest of educated religious women for recognition of their expertise and integration into this institution coincided with a policy reorientation in the early 2000s, to expand the Diyanet’s appeal for women through its enlightenment and educational functions. Under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) governments, the issue of gender disparity has been addressed through a new strategy of increasingly recruiting women graduates from Theology faculties. However, despite a ‘feminization’ process undertaken via the pro-women reforms of its organizational structure, the Diyanet’s institutional and political-ideological limitations are intertwined with prevailing gender norms and patriarchal conventions. This article inquires into the gendered dynamics and predicaments that have constrained the status and roles of its women officials and impacted their empowerment prospects. Nevertheless, as women have started to exercise religious authority with men in the Diyanet’s enduring male-dominated structure, the recognition for their expertise, professional commitment, and the potential impact of their work have reinforced the social significance of women’s roles.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"232 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1932115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45823433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These professional workers manage and construct their emerging middle-class identities through embodied experiences and mediated discourses fostered by an English reading club that is both online and offline. Responding to recent critiques of neoliberal feminism in the Chinese context, this study uses a mixed-method approach to unpack the complex processes of these women's identity construction and performance through participatory reading practices. This includes ethnographic participant observation in offline reading club activities, in-depth interviews, and a discourse analysis of mediated narratives on social media (WeChat). We argue that Chinese working women's identity construction and performance are shaped by complex intersections of class, nation, gender and workplace/institutions, where their encounters are in flux, given the changing neoliberal globalization process after China’s four-decade long opening up reform. This study challenges and extends the critique of neoliberal feminism and finds evidence of agency and tactical engagement whereby female workers negotiate their emerging middle-class identities and forge possible solidarities within a networked workplace.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"161 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1913850","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46308457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In her book Naya Afsana, she discusses psychologized realism wherein the past gives way to the present. She also depicts how a human being becomes a representation of the collective past via writings of his/her community's collective past. Blurring every possible binary of past/present, home/world, private/public, Hyder’s neo-historical writings not only expose the limitation of her fictional world but also give it a new dimension, unlike contemporary writers who choose to focus on the external realities of the existential crisis of humanity during the early part of the twentieth century. She shows her skill by uncovering the internal realities of human experience. While giving her narratives a historical grounding, she has also made a sensorial reading of the holocaust in her narratives by focusing on the psychological interiors of affected human beings. This paper seeks to study two such fictional expositions of Hyder’s oeuvre—Sita Betrayed and Fireflies in the Mist—in order to understand how these two works help to explore the issues of trauma and memory in the context of the wounded history of partition.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"258 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1929733","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49424040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human-tiger conflict in the area further complicates the situation and generates a group of women known as tiger widows who have lost their husbands because of attacks by tigers. They are therefore socially stigmatized as cursed and harbingers of bad luck. As a result, the lives of these widows in rural and geographically remote locations are full of suffering and hardships, especially with respect to their being able to manage livelihoods. This article discusses their vulnerabilities and difficult lives in this antagonistic eco-social setting. It also reveals their adoption of different livelihood strategies backed by some NGOs’ development assistance, whereby they become able to secure the survival and well-being of their families. Furthermore, our findings show how the widows have developed capacities to transform their own lives from utter misery to gain socioeconomic stability by fighting patriarchal constraints and also influencing other women to become self-reliant.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"2 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1875674","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48556296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
