Pregnant Bodies in Social Context: Natural,Disruptive, and Unrecognized Pregnancy

This article examines the role of social context in the construction of meanings attached to the pregnant body. Analyzing interviews with 42 women who, during the time of the interview, were either pregnant or had given birth to a child within the last 12 months, I explore (1) the role of social context in assigning social value to the pregnant body; and (2) how the meaning attached to pregnancy changes as pregnant women move from one social context to another. I suggest that the role of social context is central to our understanding of how pregnant women are perceived and evaluated by others.     

“见不到阳光的女人”--论杨绛短篇小说中的女性书写

由于受到西方女权主义文学批评的影响,从20世纪70年代末到80年代初,中国文坛上不断涌现出了诸多的女性写作者,杨绛就是其中的一位。在杨绛的短篇小说中,不仅深刻蕴含着作者对女性意识的探讨,同时也有对以男权话语为中心建构的社会秩序不合理性的批判,以及她试图消解男权文化传统的努力。     

Secure Body Attachment and the Prevention of Eating Disorders: A Case Application

Drawing on attachment theory, the author explores the particular physical presence of the body as a significant aspect of the attachment relationship between two people, most notably between two females (the mother and the daughter). Recognizing the nature of one’s body attachment as a protective and a risk factor provides a greater understanding of the potential for resilience, as well as the presence of vulnerability in relationship to one’s body. Through a case application, the author argues that without a model of secure attachment to the body, a female is more likely to develop an attachment to cultural ideals as an extension of primary relationships and at the expense of her own body, moving her from exposure to action in the form of an eating disorder.     

The reproduction of reproduction: theorizing reproductive (im)mobilities

ABSTRACT

Through a reading of the articles gathered in this special issue, this commentary seeks to assess how critical research on reproductive processes, spatialities, temporalities, and assemblages can push mobilities theory towards rethinking the politics of (im)mobilities, which can also give us a new lens on the reproduction of reproduction. It begins with questions of scale, and the power relations involved in the heterogeneous mobile embodiments and bodily entanglements of reproduction, including mobilities involved in fertility, assisted conception, surrogacy, abortion, egg freezing, or traveling to give birth. It then draws on process theories and relational ontologies within mobilities theory to think about multiple kinds of becoming as crucial to temporal processes of reproduction, involving both molar and molecular politics. Lastly, it elucidates the kinopolitics of reproduction and broadens the field of critical mobility studies to better take into account the material assemblages and affective entanglements of reproductive politics.     

Fetal movement frequency and the effect of associated perinatal factors: Multicenter study

Background

Decreased fetal movements are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including stillbirth. Delayed maternal visits to a health care provider after perceiving decreased fetal movements are frequently observed in stillbirths. Informing pregnant women of the normal range of fetal movement frequency is essential in their earlier visits in order to prevent stillbirth.

从“丰田召回”事件看品牌依恋的双向作用

企业营销环境的复杂化、动荡化以及经营规模的不断扩张进一步加剧了企业营销管理控制的难度,也是企业负面营销事件频发的主要原因。因此,从顾客对品牌的依恋入手,分析品牌依恋对负面营销事件的双向作用,说明企业必须重视内外环境建设以应对不利事件。     

供应链道德风险逾渗的临界状态研究

为了确定能将供应链道德风险控制在不对供应链造成重大危害的临界点,构建以人为力度的供应链道德风险复杂网络模型,并据此给出供应链道德风险诱发的传递特性和拓扑特性的变化规律。按照逾渗理论,根据供应链中道德风险传递的特征,以随机攻击与蓄意攻击两种方式控制供应链道德风险的传递过程,确定出在随机攻击与蓄意攻击两种策略下,需要控制的最小数量的员工,从而确定供应链道德风险逾渗的临界状态。结论认为,随机攻击时供应链道德风险系统呈现鲁棒性,而蓄意攻击时供应链道德风险系统呈现脆弱性,蓄意攻击供应链道德风险这种策略是非常有效,并且这种临界概率取决于供应链系统的结构以及道德风险的特征。     

电视广告传播的“意义依附”特征

电视广告传播与社会各种权力系统的相互交缠,构成了电视广告多元的社会影响力.特别是电视媒体所具有的公共领域功能,使得广告作为电视内容生产和传播的重要组成部分,所承担的使命和价值就不仅仅只是商业信息的传输或市场营销的工具,更可能成为各种社会力量之间冲突或博弈的载体.作为广告意义结构的一个重要层次,电视广告在社会意义层面常常表现为对社会资源或公共性议题的"依附"过程.而在这种"意义依附"当中,一方面使得电视广告成为受众自我认同的重要载体,另一方面也建构出某种社会公共性的价值观以维护公众的利益.本文力图具体阐述电视广告传播表现出的"意义依附"的特征,进而分析"意义依附"特征所具有的合理性与风险性.
