Each successive wave of revolution to hit modern China—political, cultural, and economic—has radically reshaped Chinese society. Whereas patriarchy defined the familial social structure for thousands of years, changing realities in the last hundred years have altered and even reversed long-held expectations. Transforming Patriarchy explores the private and public dimensions of these changes in present-day China. Patriarchy is not dead, but it is no longer the default arrangement for Chinese families: Daughters-in-law openly berate their fathers-in-law. Companies sell filial-piety insurance. Many couples live together before marriage, and in some parts of rural China, almost all brides are pregnant.
Drawing on a multitude of sources and perspectives, this volume turns to the intimate territory of the family to challenge prevailing scholarly assumptions about gender and generational hierarchies in Chinese society. Case studies examine factors such as social class, geography, and globalization as they relate to patriarchal practice and resistance to it. The contributors bring the concept of patriarchy back to the heart of China studies while rethinking its significance in dominant Western-centric theories of modernity.
Only 150 years ago, the majority of the world's population was largely illiterate. Today, not only do most people over fifteen have basic reading and writing skills, but 20 percent of the population attends some form of higher education. What are the effects of such radical, large-scale change? David Baker argues that the education revolution has transformed our world into a schooled society—that is, a society that is actively created and defined by education.
Drawing on neo-institutionalism, The Schooled Society shows how mass education interjects itself and its ideologies into culture at large: from the dynamics of social mobility, to how we measure intelligence, to the values we promote. The proposition that education is a primary rather than a "reactive" institution is then tested by examining the degree to which education has influenced other large-scale social forces, such as the economy, politics, and religion. Rich, groundbreaking, and globally-oriented, The Schooled Society sheds light on how mass education has dramatically altered the face of society and human life.

Автор: Yeng Sokthan Название: Buddhist Feminism: Transforming Anger Against Patriarchy ISBN: 3030511618 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030511616 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 74530.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book examines reasons why Buddhism and feminism may seem to be incompatible, and shows that Buddhist and feminist philosophies can work together to challenge patriarchal structures.
The narratives that we live by are highly informed by religious indoctrination. When that indoctrination is patriarchal in nature, the likelihood for conflict arises as patriarchy and matriarchy are perceived as two opposing extremes. That conflict is further exacerbated when those who do not fit the image of a God defined by patriarchal men, are seen as others, outside the auspices of God's original creation. Oppression, that gives way to violence, is often the consequence as patriarchy endeavors to maintain its claim of supremacy. All too often, the maintenance of power, by the use of male imagery and language for the divine, calls for the denial and suppression of feminine imagery and agency. The quest to maintain patriarchal power in the church manifests itself in every sector of society as women are subjected to all manners of violence so that men can continue to make God in their image.
A radical reimaging of the Divine, that proceeds from an inclusive consciousness, is the first place to start in creating a society where patriarchy ceases to eclipse humanity.

Автор: Rojas Carlos Название: Homesickness: Culture, Contagion, and National Transformation in Modern China ISBN: 0674743946 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780674743946 Издательство: Harvard University Press Рейтинг: Цена: 49580.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Carlos Rojas focuses on the trope of "homesickness" in China-discomfort caused not by a longing for home but by excessive proximity to it. This inverse homesickness marks a process of movement away from the home, conceived of as spaces associated with the nation, family, and individual body, and gives rise to the possibility of long-term health.
Автор: Johannes Suitner Название: Imagineering Cultural Vienna: On the Semiotic Regulation of Viennas Culture-Led Urban Transformation ISBN: 3837629783 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783837629781 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 55750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Media and public discourses often consider Vienna as a "cultural city". This study of Viennas recent planning practice and discourses shows how this perception is skilfully shaped by political constructions of cultural imaginaries in and of the city. The book unveils how simplistic cognitive interpretations of culture not only define an unquestioned, reductionist idea of the citys cultural character -- it also explains how they influence the recent urban development practice in one of Europes globalising cities.
