Another hit by Japan''''s Walt Disney-Hayao Miyazaki

Howl's Moving Castle proves once again that Japan's animation king of Hayao Miyazaki has a great fascination with flying, one of the basic elements heavily relied upon in his films to develop his plots. Miyazaki has endowed the power of flight to Princess Nausica in Nausica of the Valley of the Winds, the airboat in Laputa: The Castle in the Sky, Totoro in My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service, the aeroplane in Porco Rosso, as well as the moving castle in his latest hit, Howl's Moving Castle. Howl's Moving Castle is a combination of lots of successful elements of Miyazaki's works, including Kiki's Delivery Service's European flavour, Laputa: The Castle in the Sky's moving castle and Spirited Away's crone. Choosing Takuya Kimura as the dubbing actor for Howl, the animation king adds more attractiveness to the film.

Another Perspective on Women＇s Oppression： Reflections on Feminist Politics and Human Nature

《女权主义政治与人的本质》是阿莉森.贾格尔的代表作。该书认为异化概念可以为系统分析当代社会女性所受压迫提供一个比阶级分析更恰当的理论框架。异化是当代资本主义社会中女性的普遍和基本体验,女性的彻底解放需要一种社会生产的全新组织模式和彻底消除女性柔弱气质。该书认识到了父权制和资本主义制度之间的同一性和彼此强化性,但用异化这个马克思在其成熟时期已然弃用的概念来做理论框架的基础使得贾格尔的分析有时会显得力不从心。
