Broken Hearts and Battered Lives: Adverse and Abusive Life Histories and Externalized Responses to Anger as Pathways to Illicit Drug Use Among Incarcerated Women

Most incarcerated women suffer from adverse and abusive life histories, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as sexual, physical, emotional abuse, and neglect, and intimate partner violence (IPV). In addition, many have difficulties regulating their anger expression and most participate in illicit drug use. Although many have offered explanations for these relationships, the current study is among the first to utilize an integrated feminist pathways and general strain theory (GST) approach to explain them. Using data from a stratified random sample of all incarcerated women in Oklahoma (N?=?441), we explore the linkages between ACEs, IPV, the externalized expression of anger, and heavy illicit drug use. Our findings indicate that childhood physical and sexual abuse are significantly associated with externalized responses to anger. However, the effects of childhood adversities, particularly sexual abuse, on heavy illicit drug use are mediated by externalized responses to anger suggesting that anger plays a significant role in women’s pathways to illicit drug use. In contrast, and somewhat surprisingly, being a victim of IPV was negatively related to externalized responses to anger and not significantly related to illicit drug use. Implications for the importance of utilizing an integrated feminist pathways and GST approach in future research are offered.     

女性主义法学方法的实案分析

虽然对女性主义方法论的批评和质疑很多,但是作为一种追求性别平等的法律方法,女性主义方法仍不失为一种思考的视角。任何法学方法,最后都是为了案件得到正确判决,因此本文目的不在于提出理论,主要是结合美国宪法案件来分析女性主义方法在案件中的实际运用。由于中国的历史和文化传统中女性通常是"不在场"的,虽然宪法明文规定男女平等,但是司法实践中不平等却时有发生。笔者希望通过介绍女性主义方法能给出一些启示。     

Women Who Kill Their Abusive Partners: from Sameness to Gender Construction

Since the early 1990s there has been a plethora of academic commentary on the criminal law’s treatment of women who kill their abusive partners. More recently, the debate has been re-opened due to the Law Commission’s proposals on Partial Defences to Murder. This article aims to critically analyse the approach adopted by the academic commentary and to place in within a feminist theory framework. In addition the article argues that the work of queer theorist Judith Butler enables the analysis of the law’s treatment to be developed further.Law Lecturer, Liverpool John Moores University.

女性政治学研究综述:基于国内硕博学位论文的分析(2006-2015年)

2006-2015年,以女性政治学为选题的硕士、博士学位论文的数量保持总体增长态势,学位授予院校、研究机构地域分布广泛;学位论文选题丰富、研究方法多样、跨学科性强,但论文质量参差不齐,博士学位论文明显优于硕士学位论文;论文选题焦点相对集中,妇女参政、妇女组织问题备受青睐,而女性主义政治哲学、女性主义政治理论及女性主义国际关系等领域的研究仍不充分。鉴此,需要提高硕士、博士研究生的问题意识、前沿意识和合一意识;鼓励和推动青年学子从事女性政治学及相关跨学科研究,提高其研究兴趣与学术水平。

Poner la cuerpa: The Body as a Site of Reproductive Rights Activism in Peru

The issue of the body is central to feminist theory and activism. This article draws on social movement and performance theory to analyse the role of the body as a site of activism in performances and as a site that is subject to patriarchal and racial oppression. Through embodied activism, feminists reclaim their bodies as a contested site of oppression to reframe the terms of the debate on abortion and demonstrate the possibility for embodied and creative politics to create new, more inclusive forms of activist practices.     

从"他乡"到"她乡":吉尔曼女性主义写作策略的转变

夏洛特.帕金斯.吉尔曼是美国女性主义文学的鼻祖。对吉尔曼的小说进行整体考察,可以发现:她的创作经历了从解构“他乡”(男权社会)到建构“她乡”(女性乌托邦)的转变,或者说,从以揭露和解构为主的现实主义,走向了以规划和建构为目标的乌托邦主义写作。这使她成为树立女性乌托邦典范的枢纽人物,其对于现代女性乌托邦文学的影响可谓深远。同时,这一转变也充分显示了吉尔曼女性主义思想的前瞻性,她预见性地实践了后现代女性主义所倡导的女性主义文学之目标,即:击破、摧毁、预见与规划。     

揭示天国中的父权制--西方女权主义神学思想述评

女权主义神学是基督教内女权运动的实际经验及学术成果在理论上的反映。它通过对基督教传统及其经典《圣经》中父权制思想的批判,来提升女性在天国中的地位,并试图建立体现女性解放要求的神学体系。女权主义神学旨在通过适应时代和广大女性的需要,将宗教信仰、神学论证与社会政治实践相结合,使其自身具有更大的吸引力和感召力。     

女性主义史学中的几个理论问题

近几十年来,女性主义史学家挑战了传统史学,不仅使妇女进入了史册,而且使“性别”(Gender)成为一个重要的历史分析范畴。但是,女性主义史学在几个基本理论问题上存在很多争议:在解释妇女在历史上缺席的原因时,如何区分性别偏见与时代局限;在把妇女作为研究对象时,应该如何认识妇女之间的差异;妇女史学在颠覆使命完成之后,如何处理妇女史与通史关系等。思考这些问题是我们研究妇女史的理论前提。     

国际关系、全球治理和妇女非政府组织

随着冷战的结束和全球化步伐的加快,“全球治理”逐步成为国际关系中的一个重要话题。全球治理的主体不仅有各国政府,还包括各种政府间组织和国际非政府组织,妇女非政府组织是其中的一支活跃力量。它们积极关注危害整个人类的各种全球性问题的解决,并极力敦促将社会性别意识纳入决策主流,使女性主义国际关系理论的基本信念得到充分的体现。
