Heterosexual Men's Anger in Response to Male Homosexuality: Effects of Erotic and Non-Erotic Depictions of Male-Male Intimacy and Sexual Prejudice

The present study compared effects of erotic and non-erotic depictions of male-male intimacy on the experience of anger in heterosexual men. Data came from three independent laboratory studies designed to elicit anger in response to erotic or non-erotic depictions of male-male and male-female intimacy. All participants completed a measure of sexual prejudice and anger was assessed before and after viewing the erotic or non-erotic video. Among high-prejudiced men, viewing erotic and non-erotic intimate behavior between two men elicited significant increases in anger relative to viewing comparable behavior between a male-female dyad. In contrast, among low-prejudiced men, viewing erotic, but not non-erotic, intimate behavior between two men elicited significant increases in anger relative to viewing comparable behavior between a male-female dyad. Implications for understanding heterosexual men's anger, and aggression, toward gay men were discussed.     

Saying the Unsaid: Probing Homosexuality in The Hairdresser of Harare

ABSTRACT

Homosexuality in Zimbabwe often evokes strong reactions. Due to a tradition of silence, the topic largely continues to be taboo. However, it has been used by some politicians and church leaders to strengthen arguments and to denounce opponents. It is against this background that The Hairdresser of Harare (Huchu, 2010) ought to be understood. The novel gives helpful clues into discourses on homosexuality in contemporary Zimbabwe. This article analyzes the author’s approach to the subject and critiques it. It maintains that the author’s view on homosexuality has been limited by attaching the theme to postcolonial politics and violence. However, the article appreciates his courage in exploring the theme.     

家庭暴力受害人法律地位认知的理论反思

我国现有的反家庭暴力方面的法律规定主要是从规制家庭暴力侵权行为的角度进行的立法,对家庭暴力受害人的权利规定也仅限于一般的权利保护方式,并未从法律主体的角度对其进行保护。这主要是因为传统的理论认为,家庭暴力受害人是一种与普通侵权行为受害人一样的法律主体,未将其作为一个整体性的、需要法律特殊保护的法律主体来对待。传统的理论只是建立在形式平等原则、功利主义原则基础之上的。我国的反家庭暴力立法,应当从人权法角度,对家庭暴力受害人进行倾斜保护,使反家庭暴力立法成为一部人权保护法,而非简单的侵权特别法或者婚姻特别法。     

非洲妇女在武装冲突中遭受性暴力的人权保护法律问题及对策

非洲妇女在武装冲突中遭受性暴力侵害的问题日益引发全世界的广泛关注,该行为的实施主要表现为偶然发生及有目的、系统地实施两种类型。国际上在保护武装冲突中遭受性暴力的非洲妇女的人权方面还存在许多法律问题：立法上全球性的人权法与人道法公约缺乏对性暴力犯罪行为的应有关注,区域性的人权法公约缺乏针对性暴力犯罪的强制执行机制;司法上全球性与区域性层面的司法保护不力。因此,非洲妇女在武装冲突中遭受性暴力侵害的问题需要在国际立法、司法层面提出相应的对策加以解决。     

中国网络监管到网络治理的转变 ——从“网络暴力”谈起

石义彬文从"分割与拼贴"、"真实与虚拟"、"全球与地方"等不同向度,集中分析了传播新技术的文化影响,主张以社会化的方案与规划而非纯技术手段来应对这种文化挑战.张卓文以中外媒体广泛关注的网络事件为研究个案,探讨网络监管与网络暴民之关系、公众对网络监管之态度,并在联合国互联网治理的理论框架下,强调以网络治理取代网络监管.王勇文分析了传播新技术所建构的新媒介环境,以及新媒介环境对青少年社会化的影响,并从优化媒介资源配置、严格媒介管理、加强传媒职业道德建设、提高公民的媒介素养等维度,倡导构建健康的媒介环境.刘中望文从"自媒体"、新"社群主义"、新公共性等角度,探讨了互联网对当代生活方式的多种影响,强调对其研究要突破"可能性"、"实在性"这两种逻辑视角.

Women's abuse of their children in the context on domestic violence: reflection from women's accounts

This paper draws upon the findings of a study that looked at women's experiences of mothering in the context of co-occurrence of domestic violence and child abuse, and considers the issue of women's violence towards children – while acknowledging the fact that men are the main perpetrators of violence towards women and children in these families. The paper first explores the relationship between women's victimization and women's violence, and suggests that women's abuse of their children can be seen as a consequence of their own experiences of domestic violence. The findings nonetheless suggest that abused women have agency, and therefore have responsibilities when they chose to use violence towards their children. The paper also considers the feelings of guilt and blame that tend to arise in these circumstances. Implications for research, policy and practice are identified.

微博时代公共舆论暴力的产生及其治理机制研究

在Web2.0飞速发展的时代,以网络和手机终端为发布平台的微博,凭借其短、平、快等优势,正形成自己独特的“微博舆论场”,成为了社会公共表达的全新平台,在公民参政、民主表达、舆论监督等方面发挥着积极作用。然而,由于网络的匿名性、网民的非理性、监管制度的缺失等原因,网络舆论暴力现象屡见不鲜。构建一套科学的网络舆论暴力治理机制,需要推行微博实名制、强化网民的社会责任感,建立科学的舆情研判与调控机制,加强网络道德建设,完善网络行为的相关立法。     

Contextualizing case reviews: A methodology for developing systemic safeguarding practices

This paper introduces a systemic methodology for reviewing professional responses to abuse between young people. The approach, “contextual case reviewing,” draws upon constructivist structuralism to assess the extent to which safeguarding practices engage with the social and public contexts of abuse. The paper conceptually compares the methodologies of contextual case review and other serious case review methods before drawing upon findings from 2 studies, which used the contextual case review methodology to explore the extrafamilial nature of peer‐on‐peer abuse and the ability of child protection practices to engage with this dynamic. Thematic findings from these studies regarding the practical interpretation of “significant harm” and “capacity to safeguard,” as well as their use within child protection assessments, are used to challenge conclusions of other case reviews, which imply that child protection procedures are sufficient for safeguarding young people. Contextual case reviews suggest that safeguarding practices, and the legislation that underpins them, are culturally, procedurally, and organisationally wedded to the context of the home, whereas insufficiently engaged with extrafamilial contexts of significant harm. The application of these issues require interrogation if social work systems are to provide sufficient mechanisms for safeguarding young people and families at risk of significant harm.
