The paper aims to develop a framework to understand the variant use of part-time work by employed mothers in the UK and US.
In particular, this paper seeks to explore how diversity in the use of part-time work can be explained when both countries
are associated with a neo-liberal form of capitalism (Hall and Soskice, Varieties of Capitalism: the institutional foundations
of comparative advantage, 2001) and welfare regime (Esping-Andersen, The three worlds of welfare capitalism, 1990). It is
argued here that by combining aspects of the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) and welfare regimes literatures with Gender Regime
theory (Walby, Social Politics, 11(1):4–29, 2004), a gender centred analysis of both the causes and consequences of divergent
working-time patterns can be more adequately achieved.

Whether immigrant women’s introduction to paid labor empowers them with greater autonomy or exacerbates their oppression has
been debated variously in the scholarship on gender and migration. In this paper, the author examines Korean immigrant women’s
perspectives on work outside the home after migration. Based on in-depth interview data, the paper emphasizes Korean women’s
own interpretations of work and motherhood, and highlights the ways in which they define and redefine work in relation to
other aspects of their post-migration experiences. The analysis finds that income producing work is not empowering in and
of itself, but contingent upon other post-migration challenges such as economic downward mobility and women’s changed roles
as working mothers. Furthermore, women’s perception of work fluctuates over time. The findings suggest that paid work should
not be simply interpreted as an empowering change, but the linkage between work and other aspects of immigrant women’s post-migration
realities needs to be more closely examined.

Though surveys repeatedly demonstrate that most women who are homeless alone have minor children living apart from them, there
is little information on the circumstances of their separations or whether and how they remain involved with their children.
Analysis of data from in-depth interviews with mothers, relatives caring for their children, and shelter and child welfare
staff highlights a tension between perspectives and aspirations of mothers and the agendas and social processes through which
institutional systems manage the family life of women marginalized by homelessness and disability. Though women’s agency is
evident in their efforts to maintain parenting roles, without facilitating resources and supportive structures, agency is
often reduced to unpalatable choices among constraining alternatives. We consider how service systems might mitigate barriers
to mothering as well as broader changes needed to genuinely support women’s aspirations for themselves and their families.

Women and minorities have consistently experienced marginalization and inequality in the United States, with low-income, immigrant
and refugee women experiencing the most severe forms. This paper explores how we can restructure one area in which disparities
exist, the primary healthcare system, to provide respectful, compassionate, accessible and adequate care to refugee and low-income
women who are medically at-risk during pregnancy. This will be done by reviewing the Priscilla Project, an inner-city program
that serves at-risk pregnant women in Buffalo, NY, including the history and persistence of disparities in healthcare, activities
and impact of the program, and the uniquely contextualized program paradigm.

Using data collected during a 4 year ethnography, this paper examines how the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) has impacted homeless women in San Francisco who are also victims of domestic violence. Specifically
this paper looks at how the behavior of abusive men prevents homeless women from successfully navigating the new welfare-to-work
requirements and maintaining stable employment. Findings indicate that despite the discourse touting the success of welfare
reform, the 1996 PRWORA has further disenfranchised an already devastated population systematically forcing them further onto
the margins of society.

This article examines birth control as practice and discourse in 1920s and 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule and explores
links with family planning and reproductive practices in post-1945 South Korea. The control of women’s reproduction held critical
implications for meanings of domesticity, marriage, sexual relations, and new womanhood. While a woman-centered position did
emerge regarding birth control, the parameters of the discourse, concerns of gynecology, and the material culture of birth
control ultimately tied the bodies and health of women to their biological and social roles as mothers.

Knowledge organisation, embodiment of knowledge and knowledge representation are important issues for an anthropology of technology,
which seeks to explore the ways in which people find and shape everyday solutions to social and technical challenges. This
article discusses the impact of skill and of risk prevention on women’s decision-making, as well as on the domestication and
appropriation of new technologies. Particular attention is paid to non-synchronicity as a retarding factor and to the obsolescence
of skills as a critical moment in the transformation of socio-technical systems in twentieth century rural northern China
as elsewhere.

The State Food and Drug Administration of China has reported a dramatic increase in multicentre, multinational clinical trials
over the past several years. This is in keeping with a growing trend towards the off-shore outsourcing of clinical trials
from North America and Western Europe to ‘nontraditional locations’ such as Eastern Europe, China, and India. Within China,
the post-socialist reform of health care, internal divisions of labour and the politicization of the healthcare system have
all created the conditions under which contract clinical trial work is becoming an imperative both for hospitals and the growing
number of working uninsured. The paper brings together a critical insight into current theories of bioeconomic innovation
with new political economies of informal labour and offshoring. It argues that the clinical trial phase in the production
of bioeconomic value is routinely overlooked in scholarly accounts but is key to understanding the speculative overinvestment
and translational difficulties of the pharmaceutical industries today. As a way of reformulating the problem, the paper suggests
that human subject experimentation would be more fruitfully reconfigured as a form of labour—experimental or clinical labour.
The research hospital clinic therefore emerges as an export labour zone in ‘experimental body work.’

Studies in the last decades show that perception of role conflict has changed in advanced societies so that (1) multiple roles
may be beneficial rather than conflictual and (2) men, too, are subject to incompatible role demands. This study examines
whether the same shift may be observed in a less developed society (Israel), and how perceptions of role combination and work
satisfaction influence the work concessions made by women and men who work in occupations that are typical or atypical for
their gender. The main assumption is that multiple roles lead to role conflict only if individuals fail to make concessions
that allow them to regulate time and energy in both spheres. The findings show that women still make more concessions than
men; work satisfactions strengthens the perception that combining family and work is possible; and only for women, the perception
that combining family and work is possible reduces the number of concessions they make.

This study examines the medical profession in post-Soviet society, where women have been in the majority of the physicians
for almost seven decades. It examines pediatricians’ and surgeons’ definitions of the professional skills and qualities needed
for “good” work. Lithuania is used as a case study. Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2005 with male
and female surgeons and pediatricians in Lithuania. The results show that the gender composition of the specialty—surgery
being a male-dominated and pediatrics a female-dominated specialty—tended to influence the way that physicians perceived the
qualities needed for good work. For surgeons, male-gendered qualities were prerequisites for being a good surgeon: physical
strength and being in control. Female surgeons added a female-gendered quality—empathy and compassion—that made them good
surgeons. A good pediatrician had a holistic and empathic approach and an ability to communicate, which were seen as female-gendered
skills. Male pediatricians experienced otherness in this specialty but did not, as women surgeons did, offer a counter discourse
in order to legitimate themselves as being as skilled as women.

In this article, I analyze interviews with a diverse group of 30 women aged 46–71 to understand how they experience signs
of aging, such as weight gain, gray hair, and facial hair, in everyday life. I find that some women’s responses are in line
with normative femininity and appearance norms. Others, however, focus on different gendered meanings of the body that are
connected to care-taking, work, ageist treatment, and past abuse. I argue that feminists should apply the theoretical concept
of femininity more broadly than appearance and attraction issues to gain a deeper understanding of the multiple meanings of
living in an aging female body in a gendered society. In the conclusion, I discuss the implications of this study for public
health policies as well as future research on gender and the body.

Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations were investigated to understand how gender is created on these two occasions. Fifty-three
heterosexual couples were interviewed about family holidays. Mother’s Day was given more attention than Father’s Day. Families
spent more time celebrating; they were more likely to eat out, and were more likely to celebrate with others. Mothers were
also more likely to receive gifts than fathers. The gendering of the holidays was reflected in the more stereotypical gifts
received on Mother’s and Father’s Day than on birthdays, and in that mothers were more likely to report relief from chores
on Mother’s Day than fathers were on Father’s Day (p < .01). Families in which women worked full-time and whose husbands contributed substantially to domestic labor were as likely
to celebrate in gendered ways as traditional families were. These holidays reflect and promote hegemonic notions of the gendered
nature of motherhood and fatherhood.

Using technology domestication theory as the analytical framework, this paper discusses the findings of ethnographic interviews
with middle class families in China and South Korea, comparing how they incorporate information and communication technologies
(ICTs) into their lives. It analyses how family priorities, cultural values and social pressures influence the ways in which
ICT use is woven into their lives, in the process invigorating traditional forms and networks of communication like guanxi for the Chinese and Cheong for the Koreans. It also pays special attention to supervision of ICT use and considers how the societal valorisation of
academic excellence influences parental strategies in this regard.

The World Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840 is remembered most as the event that inspired Lucretia Coffin Mott and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton to organize the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention. Few scholars, however, have analyzed the debate proceedings
that ultimately resulted in women’s exclusion from the convention. An analysis of the convention proceedings questions Wendell
Phillips’ strategy of speaking on behalf of the women, arguing instead that William Lloyd Garrison’s strategy of silence was
the more rhetorically astute response to the exclusion of women. Garrison’s silent protest not only attracted more attention
to the women’s rights cause, but also inspired women to speak on their own behalf.

Women’s modesty norms are often perceived as governing women’s bodies and as patriarchal oppression. This study challenges
these perspectives, offering a deeper, multi-dimensional picture showing that the reality of the women’s life is much more
complicated. The article chose to discuss aspects of modesty among women of one of the most extreme Jewish ultra-Orthodox
groups, and in particular, to investigate how they experience an extremely demanding requirement—shaving off the hair on their
head upon marriage and covering their head with a black kerchief. The findings show that there are a variety of voices among
the women, ranging from the view that these practices are desirable, through the view that they empower the women, to the
view that they damage one’s attractiveness and are quite painful.

The overall ‘problem’ in early accounts of science and/or medicine in China seemed to center upon whether or not China possessed
or could acquire modern Western science. However, in the twenty-first century there is now little debate over whether or not
China has science. Yet, questions and concerns about science in China linger. The ‘problem’ of science in China has moved
away from a paradigm focused on possession or capability, to that of the correct or ethical application of Chinese science
and technology. In this essay, I will argue that the shifting of the so-called problem of Chinese science reflects larger
Western concerns about the definition and control of science itself, the rise of China as an international power, and the
ability to 'compete' in a global market predicated on the creation and application of new science and technologies.

My goal in this paper is to revisit interaction ritual theory as a theoretical underpinning of West and Zimmerman’s ‘doing’
gender paradigm in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of what is taking place inside the interactions of men and
women as they ‘do’ gender. Recent work in ritual theory, specifically the work of Bell (Ritual theory, ritual practice, 1992) and Collins (Interaction ritual chains, 2004) expands the role of the individual in the ritual process by conceptualizing ritual as a form of ‘practice’ that can be mobilized in the pursuit of emotional energy. Through the narratives of 24 married couples, I explore how domestic labor functions
as an interaction ritual that is driven by ‘emotional energy’. This emotional energy shapes the localized intentions of men
and women as they ‘do’ gender thus transforming gender into something that we ‘use’ as well as ‘do’. These emotions and intentions
can be seen most clearly through a new ‘window’ of ritual.

In Korea, scientific excellence has been perceived as one of the key elements of modern nation-building. Moreover, from the
late 1990s to the early 2000s, the government represented biotechnology as the future engine of the economy. Hwang succeeded
in representing himself as the hero of Korean science by appropriating the public eagerness for scientific achievement. However,
he relied on nationalist rhetoric too often against criticisms, which eventually made a considerable part of the public turn
skeptical about his integrity. Although various forms of techno-nationalism are still pervasive in Korea, Hwang’s scandal
has given a valuable chance for reflection on the relationship of science and nationalism.

The existence of a “boy crisis” in the United States is a topic of public policy debate. This study examines the state of
American boyhood, using not only the commonly reviewed indicators of school achievement but also mental health, premature
death, injury, delinquency, and arrests. Boys are in trouble in many areas: low rates of literacy, low grades and engagement
in school, high dropout from school, and dramatically higher rates of placement in special education, suicide, premature death,
injuries, and arrests. Girls, however, suffer from other problems, especially depression, suicidal ideation and attempts,
and eating disorders, and are less likely to achieve at the very highest levels in mathematics and science. This study argues
that both boys and girls suffer from characteristic problems, but the issues affecting boys are serious and neglected.

Race-Class-Gender Theory: An Image(ry) Problem 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Ivy Ken 《Gender Issues》2007,24(2):1-20
For over 100 years, but particularly since the 1980s, scholars have heavily relied on images of race, class, and gender as
“intersecting” and “interlocking” forms of oppression and disempowerment. This imagery has helped feminists develop the empirically
grounded theoretical premises that (1) race, class, and gender are social structural locations, (2) structural locations shape
perspectives, (3) no individual is all-oppressed or all-oppressing, (4) the meanings of race, class, and gender are localized,
and (5) race, class, and gender depend on and (6) mutually constitute each other. In this article I synthesize these premises
to reveal some opportunities for theoretical development that may inspire a new generation of race-class-gender scholarship.
I argue that while intersection is fairly limited as a conceptual image, the interlocking imagery can help us identify how
the relationships among these structures of oppression have become institutionalized.
