Journey towards independent living: a grounded theory investigation of leaving the care of Girls & Boys Town,South Africa

The journey out of care and towards independent living is a challenge for many care-leavers. There has been little research into the social processes involved in this care-leaving journey. This paper presents the results of a grounded theory investigation into the care-leaving journeys of nine young men who had, several years previously, been in the care of Girls & Boys Town in South Africa. Working from a resilience perspective, with an ecological emphasis, four central social processes emerged that together explain the care-leaving experiences of the participants. These processes are striving for authentic belonging; networking people for goal attainment; contextualised responsiveness and building hopeful and tenacious self-confidence. These four processes are located within contextual boundaries and at the social environmental interface. The paper presents these processes in detail, drawing on selected narratives of the participants and integrated with additional theory. It is hoped that this paper may contribute to theory building concerning care-leaving processes and enhance youth care practices for youth in care and leaving care.     

Heavenly Monsters: The Politics of the Male Body in the Naked Issue of Attitude Magazine

The male body in contemporary gay culture is subordinated to distinct aesthetic and ethical norms that reflect an all-male idolization of the young, muscular, smooth, and transcendent physique. The queer body is manipulated in different techniques including daily work at the gym, diet, hair supplement/removal, tanning, and dying. Liberating the body from heteronormative oppression does not necessarily guarantee the liberation of the (gay) body from other powerful systems that produce and commercialize body fascism. This article problematizes these body politics and economy of identity focusing on the naked issue of Attitude (October 1999), a six-year-old British life-style glossy magazine. This analysis mainly focuses on the illuminating interview with five gay men who express their intimate feelings and criticize the body worship in the gay media: an over-weight man, a skinny man, a psoriasis sufferer, an old and heavily tattooed and pierced man, and a bodybuilder who works as an escort.

Living Arrangements, Employment Status, and the Economic Well-Being of Mothers: Evidence from Brazil, Chile, and the U.S

Using data from Brazil, Chile, and the U.S., we estimate country specific models of household income that characterize mothers according to their marital status, living arrangement, and employment status. We assess the predicted economic well-being of each type of mother relative to a benchmark of married mothers in the same country, and at various points in the income distribution. We find dramatic cross-country differences in the distribution of mothers across categories, but few differences in each type's relative economic status. In all three countries and at all points in the income distribution, mothers who are the only adults in their households have the lowest levels of predicted income, while married mothers—followed closely by cohabitors—have the highest levels.     

当代家族小说的性别审视

在家族小说创作中,当代作家以现代意识与人道同情表现出对女性命运与妇女解放问题关注的热情,但由于受到男权社会文化传统与性别立场的影响,他们对女性不幸命运的同情之中又存在着性别上的隔膜,无论是对女性躯体的描写,男女两性关系模式的建构,叙述者与人物的性别话语,还是在性际关系价值评判中的厚此薄彼,都从不同的侧面流露出作家男权意识的传统积淀,都是男性对女性一厢情愿的想象性书写。     

从传统文化的角度解读安乐死

“安乐死”问题已经越来越引起世人的关注,由于涉及到种种道德问题,安乐死在我国难以取得合法地位。我国儒、道两家代表的传统生死观对死亡价值的肯定和重视,为安乐死的合法性提供了有说服力的理论依据。     

《历代微型小说选》词语札记

导致古代文学作品译注“望文生训”的原因之一,是在选择与确定词的语义时脱离了交际的语言环境,所以,《列异传》中的“生人气”、“略无”和《列女传》中的“便利”不应是“陌生人的气息”、“略微没有”和“方便”之义,而应该是“活人的气息”、“全无”和“有利可图”之义。
