This reflects the thinking in ancient China that ＂the affairs of a state are determined by its military,

试论台湾女性主义文学对身体自主的追求

台湾女性主义文学大量涉笔情欲题材,并视此为建立一种真正女性中心的文学艺术和理论批评之所在.女作家们对女性的身体和性心理、性快感、情欲发动方式等等,都有比较严肃的讨论.她们用文学形象展示女性隐秘的性经验、性心理,凸现出女性被压抑的情欲状态,并以无所畏惧的叛逆姿态,向历来是男性霸权的情色禁区发起大胆冲击.李元贞、袁琼琼、苏伟贞、朱天文等人,站在女性主义立场上,对身体自主的理念作出文学阐释,涉及到女性在欲情的海洋里成长的命题.新锐女作家则更有勇气,她们笔下的人物活跃在台湾社会中,热烈地伸展着女性作为原始身体存在的力度.同性恋题材在女作家笔下大量出现并频频获奖,已大有跻身主流文化的势头.

影响妇女参政的女性自身因素及对策

女性参政水平是衡量男女平等的标准,同时也反映一个社会的政治文明程度。这已成为大多数人的共识。我国女性参政目前已获得了广泛的认同和支持,但深度和广度远远不够。女性自身的性别角色认知、社会角色认知、情感角色认知严重制约着女性参政的自发要求。     

Success on Their Own Terms: Youths' Perspectives on Successful Foster Care

Foster care is an integral component of the child welfare system. However, little is known about factors germane to conceptualizing successful foster care. This study utilized Concept Mapping (CM) to delineate a conceptual domain for what success in foster care means from the perspective of those most impacted: foster youth. CM couples multi-dimensional scaling with hierarchical cluster analyses to form factors relevant to an area of study. Pictorial representations of the data were generated using the Concept Systems software. Results indicate that youth conceptualize success based on several distinct domains. The final analyses yielded a multi-cluster solution, or Concept Map.
