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.

This study examined married men and women’s subjective class identification between 1972 and 2002, and the role of individual
gender ideologies in married persons’ shifting status-evaluation models. We used nationally representative trend data gathered
as part of the General Social Survey. Consistent with previous theoretical predictions, results indicated that overall, husbands
and wives used status-sharing models of status-evaluation. Interestingly, however, in the late 1990s and early 2000s women
shifted toward a status-borrowing model of status-evaluation. Results suggested that gender ideologies did not explain recent
trends in the importance of wives’ and husbands’ class attributes for models of status-evaluation. We concluded that shifts
in hegemonic gender beliefs, rather than individual gender ideologies, are a more likely explanation of changes in couples’
models of status-evaluation.

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.

Sweden is often hailed as a pioneering country regarding gender equity, but it still has gender equity issues to deal with,
and gender stereotyping is sometimes mentioned as one of them. Since the 1990s, Sweden has seen the emergence of many gender
pedagogy projects, not least in pre-schools. With gender equity projects among adults yielding limited results, the focus
has shifted to children to see if gender stereotypes can be countered in childhood. This article aims to provide an overview
of the gender pedagogy projects that have been carried out in Swedish pre-schools. The article covers background, methods
and insights gained.

International female homelessness is a difficult subject to address for a number of reasons. First, understanding what defines
homelessness poses a problem because female homelessness often takes on a different form than that of male homelessness. Also,
homelessness in industrialized countries looks different from that of developing nations where women are more likely to have
inadequate housing in temporary shelters or live as squatters. Both of these factors affect the visibility of female homelessness
as well as the ability to garner an accurate account of the number of homeless women around the world. Understanding the causes
of female homelessness from a global perspective is no less difficult to comprehend because it encompasses so many other multifaceted
issues. Women in developing nations face a different set of issues than their counterparts in the industrialized world because
of differences in property rights, women’s rights generally, access to education, and access to social services. Finally,
immigrant women face a unique set of circumstances of being a foreigner without an adequate social support network.

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.

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.

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 special issue of EASTS examines reproductive technoscience, gender, and the formation of East Asian modernities across the twentieth and into the
twenty-first century. We begin our introduction with a brief overview of social science scholarship to date on reproductive
topics. We then turn to emergent trends: going to and coming from beyond the West, complicating the issues, and intensive
localizing and comparative research. Next, we discuss themes that cut across considerations of gender, reproductive technologies,
and related issues in East Asia: issues of imperialisms and colonialisms as roots and contexts, postcolonial and nationalist
forms of embeddedness, feminist theories of gender and transnationalism, and relations of gender and reproductive technologies
to biological citizenship. Last is an introduction to the articles in this special issue.

Following up on a research note by Stephen Moore published in 1985, this article compares the results of the survey conducted
in 1985 against one carried out in 2006 on the views of eminent social scientists (economists, political scientists, psychologists,
sociologists, historians and anthropologists) on immigration issues. Specifically, the surveys report on whether the respondents
are likely to favor an increase in the number of immigrants who are allowed into the United States and other issues such as
whether immigrants improve the economy.

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.

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.

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.

Studies consistently show that female labor force participation is a correlate of infant and child homicide victimization.
Research and theory supports the notion that as women’s economic status improves, children are safer. Yet few existing studies
make use of feminist perspectives to explain child homicide. Further, homicide studies have focused heavily on urban areas
leaving a lacuna of understanding in the literature regarding rural areas. This study explores the connection between absolute
and relative female economic status and infant and child homicide victimization in both rural and urban U.S. counties. Results
show that absolute female economic status is positively associated with infant and child homicide in urban areas, but not
in rural areas. I argue that in rural areas, stronger collective sentiment and less differentiation diminishes the effect
of women’s status on child homicide. While rural areas are characterized by harsh economic realities, these realities are
nevertheless shared among men and women, decentering the link between child victimization and women status.

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.

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.

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.

This study examines the relationship between gender and mathematics achievement among students in China and the United States,
with an emphasis on the gender gap among mathematically talented students. The results show that in neither the US nor China
are there gender differences in eighth grade math-achievement test scores. In China, there are no gender differences in mean
college entrance examination math scores among high-school seniors, while in America, the mean SAT-Math score among male high-school
seniors has been consistently higher than those of their female counterparts. In both the US and China, there are gender differences
among the top math performers on college entrance examinations; boys are over-represented. The Chinese national mathematics
curriculum, well-trained teachers, beliefs by students and their parents that academic achievement is more a product of effort
than of natural ability, a gender-neutral parental expectation for children’s education, and generous family spending on the
education of girls are suggested as possible factors underlying the comparable performance of the Chinese female and male
students. The sorting system at Chinese secondary school level and a cultural stereotype favoring boys in mathematics are
suggested as possible contributors to the math-achievement gender gap found among the top Chinese high school seniors.

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.
