▼ This dissertation is about changing perspectives on marriage, family relations, and work life among older Italian women in their mid fifties to late sixties. These women came of age in the post World War II era, a period of great economic, social, and statutory transformation in Italy. The watershed of changes brought forth by the economic boom of the late 1950s and early 1960s, as well as the feminist movement of the 1970s, opened unforeseen educational and work opportunities for women. These changes also raised questions about the fundamental organization of Italian society where the home, that is the family, is the primary source of social and economic support, and women are its foundation. Fieldwork consisted of repeated 2-3 month visits to my field site, Rome, for a total of 9 months of research where I participated in the daily lives of two groups of women from disparate socioeconomic backgrounds. Each group consisted of approximately 20-30 women. I conducted twelve life history interviews with six women from each group. In this study, I primarily use the life experiences of three women to examine the extent to which the social developments, and legal reforms, of that period succeeded in altering social and cultural values, and how they continue to intersect with women’s everyday lives. Their narratives illustrate how the position of Italian women is simultaneously evolving, yet remains consistent, as it intersects with wider structural changes. Today, these women continue to negotiate changing social patterns regarding family life, work life, and post-retirement aspirations amid a long-term economic crisis, a demographic reality characterized by long life and low fertility, and against an undercurrent of male privilege that has had detrimental repercussions for women and Italian society. Even as the structure of the Italian family conforms to accommodate evolving patterns of family formation, as well as life course expectations, the ideal of the woman as the primary provider of care remains unfalteringly stable. The reasons for this are a complex interweaving of familial, social, institutional, and statal factors that also intersect with deep-seated biases regarding gender.

▼ The patriarchal Italian father surrounded by his many bambini hardly exists anymore in today's Italy. Although stereotyped as proud of their traditions and ingrained in their ways, Italians have adjusted with seeming ease to both contemporary low birthrates and diminishing patriarchy. In fact, Italy had one of the lowest birthrates in the world in the 1990s, plunging to hitherto unforeseen low levels. Over a decade of research into demographic behavior in Italy, and the rest of Europe, has led to a number of theories seeking to account for very low fertility. Surprisingly few studies, however, have looked at the ways that assumptions about gender affect European demographic patterns. Even fewer have explored the changing nature of male identity and heterosexual masculinity. This dissertation aims to understand, on the one hand, the underlying factors shaping Italian male identity, masculinity, and gendered modes of interaction in Padua, Italy and how these, in turn, influence demographic outcomes such as fertility rates. On the other hand, a critical anthropological analysis of broad Italian demographic patterns provides an enlightening window onto the particular facets of contemporary Italian masculinity. I find that while men and masculinities are increasingly talked about and have become the subject of highly ideologically charged public debate, it is paradoxically much less clear what manhood consists of or how men should behave. With ever more women in the labor force and new family policies, Italian men have been obliged to rethink partnerships, fatherhood and even male identity. Emergent models of affective men willing to share domestic labor and childcare seem to encourage higher fertility outcomes. Yet new forms of masculinity are embedded within the particular socio-cultural context of Italy, where we find the peculiar combination of rejection of a patriarchal gender order and the continued and even enhanced commitment to the "strong Italian family." This study broadens scholarly discussions of gendered understandings of men and masculinity, demographic theories of low fertility in Italy and Southern Europe, and the links between the two.

▼ This dissertation enriches our understanding of gender and religion in the African Muslim world. I illuminate this intertwining of gender and religion by investigating how Swahili women and men navigate the processes of marriage and divorce and address their gender specific needs, concerns, and aspirations in a Tanzanian coastal community, Peponi. Inspired by recent studies on the personal experience of Muslim women I particularize Swahili women and men's understanding of Islam as it relates to their marital choices and divorce experiences. Swahili marriage has long been characterized by serial monogamy, men's aspirations for polygyny, and high levels of divorce. Despite all this, marriage remains the most valued institution among Swahili Muslims. Islam forms an essential axis on which everyday activities, communications, and transactions in Peponi turn. For the Swahili, marriage and religion are intricately linked, for they see marriage as a moral institution that reflects Muslim values. While this might be an ideal Swahili people aspire to, it does not adequately describe marital life in practice. Men and women have dramatically different, gendered, expectations of their life course in terms of relationships and they invoke different discourses when discussing their expectations of marriage. The multiple meanings surrounding the practices and interpretations of Islam as well as those surrounding modern African love are vital to understanding the ties between women and men's motivations, values, and goals associated with these demographic processes. The general assumption is that men have all the power within marriage, but by listening to individual men, women, and couples I gained a more substantial insight into the gendered role and experience of Islam in analyzing the processes of marriage and divorce. I conclude that women navigate marriage and divorce in ways that challenge the assumed privilege that Muslim men have, with more ease and agency than previously imagined. I find that Swahili women have new opportunities today and this has a tremendous impact on women's independence and choice to delay (re)marriage, sometimes indefinitely.

▼ This study explores the historical lack of an affirmative discourse of matrimonial sexuality in Russian Orthodoxy and religious thought. The study makes the case that this lack arose from the Church’s linkage of Russian Christianity, sexual purity, and Russian cultural exceptionalism and the corresponding linkage of sexual pleasure with religious and cultural otherness. It argues that an underdeveloped discourse of sexuality continues to impact religious practice, social policy, and gender relations in Russia to this day. It also locates a fledgling positive discourse of matrimonial sexuality at the turn of the 20th century in discussions among clergy, theologians, and lay religious thinkers based on concerns around low birthrates, divorce, and the decline of the Russian family, which remain at the forefront of contemporary Russian social discourse. It focuses on one of the leading voices in these discussions, Vasily V. Rozanov (1856-1919). The author of the first systematic exploration of the religious, cultural, and civic dimensions of matrimonial sexuality in Russian thought, The Family Question in Russia (1903), Rozanov argued that sexual pleasure was vital to the sanctity and survival of Christian matrimony and challenged the historical conflation of affirmative sexuality and “the other”, proposing instead an essential Russian predisposition to a sanctified and fruitful conjugal life. In three components, this study traces the evolution of the Russian Orthodox discourse of conjugal sexuality from medieval didactic texts and canon law through Muscovite and Imperial matrimonial law, culminating in a close reading of the 19th-20th century re-evaluation of Orthodox marriage in ecclesiastical and lay journals, books, and public meetings, particularly in engagement with Rozanov. Finally, the study explores post-Soviet pronatalist discourse, which is heavily contingent upon the notions of both sexual purity and reproductive fecundity as essential Russian traits. In this discourse one locates a renewed engagement with V.V. Rozanov’s thought as agents of the Church and State seek to revitalize the Russian family by appealing to cultural notions of exceptionalism. In a larger perspective, this study demonstrates the importance of reevaluating the history of sexuality in Russia for understanding the conflicts around religion, marriage, and reproduction in the post-Soviet space.

▼ Reproduction was of crucial social and cultural importance in early modern England. It mattered because of the need to produce heirs for families that had property and to create more working hands in families where labor was necessary for survival. In less practical terms, childbirth was also understood as one of the main justifications for marriage and as an essential component of the fulfillment of gender roles for both married women and married men. Because reproduction was so important in this society, infertility – the failure to reproduce – created a crisis. It was a personal and emotional crisis for the couple involved. It was also a medical crisis, one which was discussed at length in popular gynecological manuals and for which women sought treatment primarily among their experienced peers, but also from physicians and other medical practitioners. It was a crisis of gender ideals, inviting mockery and satire of the femininity of barren women and the masculinity of childless men. Finally, it was a religious crisis, because infertility could be seen as a punishment of sins or as a test of faith. This dissertation focuses on the experience of infertility and reproductive disorders in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and examines this topic not only from a medical perspective but also from its cultural, gendered and emotional dimensions. It explores fertility problems defined broadly to include difficulties in conception, miscarriages and stillbirths. The study offers a comprehensive view of how infertile couples understood their condition, gave meaning to it, and ultimately sought to treat it. The dissertation also uses infertility as a lens through which to explore broader issues in early modern English culture. It examines how medical views of the bodies influenced ideas of morality, explores how women and physicians negotiated matters of expertise relating to the reproductive body, looks at women's communities and mutual support networks and discusses the impact of the Reformation on therapeutic practices.

▼ Despite claims that we have arrived at a post-race era, many signs indicate that Americans are as invested in racial difference as ever. In recent years, this inconsistency has focused largely on the material body. At the same time that we are being told that our first African American president embodies the transcendence of older, divisive categories of race, Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s website, AfricanDNA, is selling YDNA and mtDNA tests that purportedly trace African American customers’ roots “back to Africa.” The foundational argument of this dissertation is that literature offers another perspective onto these historical incongruities that the cultural conversations, largely limited by their allegiance to a black/white racial binary or the experiences of men, have often overlooked. This dissertation turns to four contemporary ethnic American novels that respond to the pressures of these contradictions by grappling with and reconfiguring earlier notions of the body as a vessel of genetically transmitted ethnic difference: Danzy Senna’s Caucasia (1998), Myla Goldberg’s Bee Season (2000), Susan Choi’s American Woman (2003), and Ruth Ozeki’s All Over Creation (2003). Despite their diverse, sometimes opposing stances, the four novels have in common two strategies that demonstrate the contemporary salience of returning to earlier notions of the ethnic body: first, their nuanced accounts of the physiological, day-to-day processes of navigating and articulating identity that are particular to the bodies of female subjects; and second, their depiction of biological father-daughter relationships. While much of poststructuralist scholarship has tended to elevate hybrid, illegible identities as a panacea to essentialism, these writers are constructing a new politics of identity by recasting corporeal, ethnic “essence” as politically relevant and even progressive. My project creates an alternative paradigm to illuminate these writers’ engagement with the ethnically legible body and thereby demonstrates how these novels reconfigure ethnic female agency and feminism for the twenty-first century.

▼ This dissertation explores new gendered subjectivities that emerge as women negotiate tensions between "personal" and Russian neo-traditionalist national agendas. It is based on an ethnographic analysis of Russian entrepreneurial women's engagements with neo-liberal notions of self-reliance in corporate Russia, and essentialist gender politics. To educated Russian women in various generational groups, business represents compelling possibilities for self-realization and upward socioeconomic mobility. Yet in pursuing entrepreneurial careers, women must forcefully engage with a proliferation of policies, media, and popular attitudes since the mid-1980s, which encourage Russian professional women to focus their attentions on homemaking and childrearing. Women take part in intensive processes of self-reflection and legitimization in multiple contexts: motivational seminars run by transnational companies and their Russian offshoots, discussions of self-help literature on the Internet and with their colleagues, their own development and marketing of self-help services, and narrative strategies that draw on their own (and their mothers') socialist pasts as enterprise managers, komsomol leaders, and heads of families. An analysis of women's work lives and parallel processes of self-development pushes understandings of urban social life and change beyond the older activist language of solidarity and collaboration. Women's ideas of selfhood celebrate ephemeral exchanges as opposed to more stable relationships or group affiliations, as meaningful sites of social interaction. In their engagements with neo-liberal paradigms, women appropriate normatively "male" idioms of self-reliance and link them with their own abilities to make social contributions as businesswomen. In doing so, they infuse neo-liberal ideas of autonomous personhood with moral worth. This dissertation illustrates how business can be a site of social production and change under increasingly centralized national governments. It is a context within which people articulate more expansive definitions of gender and personhood than exist in conventional nationalist portrayals.

▼ Comment les jeunes enfants apprennent-ils d’autrui via le canal de la communication et comment contrôlent-ils les témoignages transmis par leur environnement social? Les recherches expérimentales de notre thèse de doctorat visent, d’une part, à mettre en évidence que, si le canal communicationnel constitue un moyen rapide et efficace d’augmenter leur stock de connaissances, les enfants sont pourtant peu enclins à considérer comme vraie une représentation qui leur est communiquée si celle-ci entre en conflit avec leur propre perception ou avec des connaissances préalablement stockées en mémoire. D’autre part, nos recherches empiriques ont l’originalité d’examiner le développement de la confiance épistémique sélective lorsque les enfants ne peuvent comparer l’information transmise avec leur propre background informationnel. Se basent-ils, dans ces conditions, sur des indices de nature sociale pour attribuer leur confiance? Si nos recherches empiriques se focalisent sur le développement de la confiance épistémique chez les enfants, un travail théorique propose en préambule une perspective intégrée de la confiance épistémique, avec l’hypothèse que différents types de mécanismes, tant de « bas niveau », suggérant un traitement quasi-automatique et très élémentaire de l’information, que de « haut niveau », soit plutôt réflexifs, participent aux prises de décisions fiduciaires. La confiance épistémique est ensuite discutée à la lumière du contexte de l’évolution de la communication, puis un état de l’art de la littérature spécialisée met en évidence comment et à quel moment les mécanismes de sélection des informations, définis en termes de mécanismes de vigilance épistémique, se développent chez les enfants. Notre partie empirique se destine à poursuivre ces travaux. Une première étude examine si l’âge de la source influence la confiance que va attribuer l’enfant pour acquérir une nouvelle information et dans quelle mesure cette attribution évolue entre l’âge de 2.5 et 5 ans. Un conflit entre l’indice de l’âge et de la fiabilité de la source est ensuite introduit, afin d’examiner si les préférences basées sur une même appartenance sociale sont robustes lorsque l’informateur similaire est étiqueté préalablement comme non fiable. Une deuxième étude examine ensuite l’influence de l'indice du genre, avec les mêmes questionnements sous‐jacents. Les résultats des deux études mettent en évidence que les enfants utilisent l’âge et le genre de la source lorsqu’ils ne disposent pas d’informations soulignant une différence de fiabilité entre celles-ci. Toutefois, ces indices ne sont pas utilisés systématiquement et leur utilisation diffère chez les enfants de 3, 4 ou 5 ans. En revanche, leurs résultats sont plus homogènes lorsqu’ils reçoivent des informations indiquant que la source à l’âge ou au genre similaire n’a pas eu d’accès informationnel. Dans ce cas, les enfants rejettent très clairement son témoignage autour de l’âge de 40 mois. Les enfants en-dessous de cet âge prennent également en compte… Advisors/Committee Members: Fabrice (Dir.), Hugo (Codir.), Mast, Marianne (Codir.), Henst, Jean-Baptiste (Codir.).

In the United States, work is a central dimension of adult life and a critical site through which we articulate who we are and who we want to be. Recent economic trends indicate that the middle class is shrinking, bottle-necking more working people into the burgeoning informal economy marked by lower-wages, at-will employment, few benefits, and the loss of collective bargaining rights. This study examines how men and women workers in the informal economy negotiate a sense of self within and through the structures that shape their working lives. Using standpoint theory and institutional ethnographic methodologies, this study explores identity negotiation processes and outcomes through interviews with 40 New Orleans-area bartenders. A comparative analysis between men and women bartenders identifies the rebel worker as an affirmative and self-made occupational identity formed in relationship to structures that produce vulnerability and instability. Identity negotiations among men and among women reveal that ascriptive statuses play a critical role in how work is experienced and navigated—rebel barkeeps and rebel barmaids are the gendered manifestations of workplace self-development projects that are formed in relationship to broader gender hegemonies. Finally, this study analyzes the impact of the rebel worker identity on the non-working lives of bartenders across and within gender statuses to map how the structures that shape our working selves are refracted and implicated within the intimate, non-working dimensions of bartenders’ lives, particularly in bartenders’ negotiations with family life. This study finds that the development of self-made identities is negotiated in relationship to relations of ruling that produce marginalizing effects in bartenders’ lives. The individualization of marginalization results in participants internalizing the outcomes of marginality rather than localizing and politicizing the outcomes of informal economies within broader relations of ruling. Moreover, identity projects through work are not only gendered, but play a central role in workers’ considerations of their opportunity structures beyond the workplace. As the informal economy continues to grow, the entrenchment of instability and vulnerability could play a central role in who Americans think they are and what they believe is possible for their futures.

▼ Against a background of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) promoting gender equality as a key component for addressing poverty and enhancing human development, this study presents findings on the extent to which selected NGOs in Lusaka have mainstreamed gender. The purpose of the study was to investigate how NGOs had mainstreamed gender through policy formulation, programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Fifteen organisations were selected through a non-probability sampling technique from a population sample of twenty two organisations registered as members of the Non-Governmental Organisation Coordinating Committee, for the period 2008-2009. Questionnaires were administered to Programme Officers and in-depth interviews conducted for Programme Managers. Secondary data was collected to compliment the primary data through the review of organisations' strategic documents. Data was coded and analysed based on emerging trends, whilst recorded responses were manually transcribed, using grid analysis to capture respondents' verbatim. The findings of the study revealed that despite the efforts by NGOs to address gender inequality, gender mainstreaming has been effectively implemented. This is largely attributed to the approach taken by the organisations to focus mainly on women as beneficiaries, at the expense of men. There is an absence of gender analysis to inform policies and programmes. Most organisations have not prioritised gender policies and development of indicators to monitor the outcome of their interventions. Mechanisms for gender accountability are not in place, as evidenced in the absence of gender focal persons. Resource allocation for gender mainstreaming activities is very low. The capacity of NGOs to effectively mainstream gender is also hampered by the lack of leadership at national level to drive the agenda for a coordinated mechanism. To a considerable extent, Non-Governmental Organisations have displayed a willingness to bridge the gap between women and men resulting from the adoption of the Beijing Platform of Action in the 1990s, however gender mainstreaming within the organisations still requires more efforts.

▼ Development scholars and practitioners have struggled to implement programs that were inclusive of the needs women in the Global South. As a Global South country lauded for its high levels of gender equality indices, the Philippines offers a generative site to analyze the gendered effects of uneven economic development. While some developing countries like the Philippines report a rising number of women in economic and public life, feminist and Global South scholars have argued that gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment programs have failed and even harmed marginalized populations, such as urban poor women. This research intervenes in this debate by foregrounding the gendered forms of dispossession in communities that are “made poor” in the pursuit of rapid industrialization. Specifically, this research is compelled by the following questions: First, what are the mechanisms through which market-based development strategies transform Filipino women’s bodies into sites of capitalist accumulation? And second, how do Filipino women conceptualize gender equality based on their own epistemes of development and belonging?This dissertation examines these questions through how Filipinas analyze market-based projects like microcredit and labor export as attacks on their kabuhayan, a Filipino word that loosely translates to “life-making.” Unlike concepts such as “labor” or “livelihood,” kabuhayan references a complex, dynamic, and relational set of practices that includes everything from creating informal economies where formal means of employment are impossible and building communal relations of support when state-based social welfare programs are nonexistent, to redefining what livable conditions are and collectively imagining a future for themselves and their communities when no such future seems possible. Focusing on kabuhayan highlights the specificities of neoliberal state-capital regimes of extraction. The disruption of vending, community loan groups, and other practices of kabuhayan ensures a steady supply of workers for the country’s labor export programs, which then translate to the high gender equality index levels in the Philippines.This research uses interdisciplinary methods to examine institutional and discursive strategies deployed by the state to render women subaltern and to assimilate disenfranchised Filipina women into the flows of global capital and labor. By juxtaposing the gender equality indices and economic development strategies with narratives and cultural productions from marginalized Filipina women, my research illuminates how gender equality indices demonstrate not how Filipinas have been empowered by development schemes, but rather how vulnerable women are violently assimilated into the flows of global capital.

▼ The general objective is to create understanding on how the existing traditional gender role socialization is the cause for the existing gender inequality in primary education in research Woreda. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods employed, basically the qualitative one. Children, in their primary school age, have learnt/nurtured their personal gender behaviour and practices in their locality by different gender socialization institutions (family, community, religion, schools) or actors that act simultaneously, function in different forms and mutually reinforcing through different means. Consequently, the primary education system that has been established with the responsibility of cultivating the new generation with modern way of thinking is actually working its part in reinforcing and perpetuating the existing traditional gender socialization through the education policy and the primary school environment means. Hence, children learnt their gender identities by observing their role model experiences, studying behaviours and practices in the form of stories, jokes, playing together, music, drama, art, pictures. Subsequently, children learning and practising their socially assigned gender specific gender roles makes a gender difference in boys’ and girls’ education performances. For instance, commonly girls migrate to Jeddah to be domestic servant; and boys to Afar Region and Djibouti for generating additional income for their family; that was one of the major causes for students school drop out in the research Woreda. The common educational indicators trends in research Woreda showed an increase in enrolment rate, decrease in drop out and in repetition rates. Whereas, the qualitative finding asserted that those nominal educational statistical progresses do not mean an increase in qualitative of education. Besides, when these trends analysed and interpreted from gender perspective, the five years trends in school enrolment and repetition for girls’ and boys’ showed almost a proportional result. While, the schools’ drop out trend showed boys were the most affected than girls’. This signifies that in the existing traditional gender role socialization, though girls are the most affected, boys are also affected in their primary education. Furthermore, equality in quantity (in enrolment) is not enough for achieving gender equality in education, unless the quality of education is maintained In general, gender equality is an important aspect of ‘quality of education’. But, gender equality in primary education cannot be assumed without engendering the gender socializing agents primarily. Hence, to mainstream gender in the primary education system, all socializing agents need to be first gender friendly; and holistic, strategic approaches are imperatives in a given locality Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Hirut Terefe (advisor).

▼ This dissertation is a study of the prospects and challenges of gender mainstreaming in water sector policies or policies that have influenced operations of the MEWD/DWA mainly the Gender Policy (2000) and the National Water Policies (1994 and 2010) and their implications for gender actions to be undertaken by the Ministry of Energy and Water Development. The actions on gender will have an implication on the composition of the ministry in terms of gender and either promote sensitivity to gender or promote gender blindness. The study also aims at assessing the institutional arrangement of the Ministry at present and how receptive the organisation is to the IWRM principle that women should be involved in the provision, management and safeguarding of water. Staff awareness and perceptions towards gender are also discussed.The study revealed that although there is some attention to gender mainstreaming in the ministry, there is lack of commitment in terms of written policy on how this is to be done. There is neither a clear strategy nor are there set benchmarks as to how progress is to be monitored. The findings of the study also indicate that the employees of the department generally were not exposed to gender sensitive practice in the workplace. The MEWD/DWA has one gender focal point person whose functions are not clear and gender is not really part of the main agenda as this person has an entirely different job description in which gender is not embedded. The staffing statistics of the DWA also indicate that the department has a rather large number of men as compared to women in the technical and management fields whilst the larger number of women is employed in administrative jobs such as typing or clerical work. This indicates that there is need to have policies that promote gender balancing if women are to be encouraged to come aboard and participate in decision-making in the water sector.In view of the findings of this study, it is recommended that the MEWD/DWA should have an internal gender policy to guide gender action in the institution. The study also recommends a central gender-mainstreaming unit with policy responsibility to guide the overall gender mainstreaming process. There is also need for gender-sensitive budgeting, capacity building on gender-mainstreaming and the development of indicators that will guide the gender-mainstreaming process.

This dissertation studies the work of Zhang Kangkang (a contemporary Chinese woman writer, 1950- ) in the light of evolutionary feminism (also called Darwinian feminism, which studies gender issues from an evolutionary perspective, brings feminist concerns into the fields of evolutionary biology, psychology and sociobiology, and illuminates and rectifies androcentric biases in these fields). I have three main research goals: the first is to present the similarities and congeniality of Zhang and evolutionary feminism, the second to explore whether Zhang has strong feminist concerns, and the third to try to bring Darwinism and feminism together and show their compatibility. Lying at the intersection of literature, feminist criticism, and evolutionary studies, my approach is based on transcultural and transdisciplinary comparisons. My primary texts include Zhang s writings and the literature on evolutionary feminist theory by scholars including Anne Campbell, Patricia Gowaty, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Barbara Smuts, Griet Vandermassen, and Marlene Zuk. I find that these two textual corpuses converge around five topics: sex differences, the mother-child bond, mating systems, violence, and infanticide. I discuss in depth how Zhang s descriptions of motherhood, love and political activity in China highlight these intersections. Both Zhang and evolutionary feminists try to uncover the evolved tendencies of sex differences in reproductive interests and strategies, understand women s reproductive behavior, highlight both male and female competitiveness and violence, as well as other predispositions that we may consider morally undesirable. Even Zhang, who has much in common with evolutionary insights, several times disproves or even tries to deny what she has revealed about female behavior in her stories. But evolutionary theory is descriptive and does not pursue science and value together. On the other hand, while evolutionary theory can describe human origins and propensities, and the roots of gender and social inequality, solving possible moral dilemmas entails the involvement of ethics, literature, and feminist studies for prescriptive guidance in order to improve our societies and strengthen gender equality.

Väitös on vertaileva tutkimus kiinalaisen nykykirjailijan Zhang Kangkangin ja evoluutiotriaa hyödyntävän feminismin jota kutsutaan myös darwinilaiseksi feminismiksi välillä. Darwinilainen feminismi tutkii sukupuolta kehitysopillisesta perspektiivistä, tuo esille feminismin näkökulmia kehitysbiologiaan ja sosiobiologiaan, ja pyrkii korjaamaan näiden alojen mieskeskeisiä oletuksia. Työssä on kolme tutkimustavoitetta: Ensiksi, paikantaa yhtäläisyyksiä ja samanlaisia painotuksia Zhangin ja darwinilaisen feminismin välillä. Toiseksi, selivttää onko Zhangilla vahvoja feministisiä kysymyksenasetteluja. Kolmanneksi, yritän lähentää darwinismia ja feminismiä jo osoittaa niiden yhteensopivuutta..

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) did not theorize gender as a political question. None of her major works deal with women s liberation, women s rights, or with gendered aspects of power. In her public life, she neither participated nor spoke up in favor of any feminist group. Yet, her works have generated a rich and polyphonic tradition of feminist scholarship. This dissertation provides the first monograph length, systematic examination of four decades of feminist responses to Arendt s political thought. In this study I ask how and for what purposes have feminist interpreters of Arendt singled out concepts and topics for scrutiny and debate in their efforts to understand the absence of a theory of gender in Arendt s oeuvre. Why has precisely Hannah Arendt been so widely and passionately read by feminist theorists, despite the fact that she did not engage in this field of inquiry at all? By analyzing and contextualizing how each text in feminist secondary literature on Arendt constitutes a distinct response to her silence on gender, and by then grouping these responses, this study finds that feminist efforts to make sense of the absence of a theory of gender in Arendt s political thinking can best be understood through a threefold categorization. First, Anglophone, early second wave sisterhood-interpretations approach Arendt through the conceptual pairs of the public and the private , and the social and the political , arriving at the conclusion that Arendt is a masculine anti-feminist. Second, Continental, French and Italian interpretations operate with Arendt s concept of natality and regard Arendt as a female genius. Finally, postmodern and queer readings highlight concepts such as unique distinctness , speech and action and pariahdom , establishing Arendt as a precursor to feminist elaborations on performativity as well as critiques of identity politics. I contend that taken together, these three feminist perspectives form a prism through which Arendt s enigmatic silence on gender becomes meaningful. At the same time, the history of contemporary feminist political theorizing emerges as a highly polyphonic tradition. Hence, there is no single, univocal feminist theory or feminism that can be applied to Arendt s texts in order to answer the question of how and why she left questions related to gender and sexuality unanswered. Instead, Arendt s account on gender and sexuality can only be grasped through multiple perspectives and multiple feminist voices.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) ei teoretisoinut tuotannossaan sukupuolta poliittisena kysymyksenä. Hänen teoksensa eivät käsittele naisasialiikettä, naisten oikeuksia tai esimerkiksi vallan sukupuolittuneisuutta. Julkisessa elämässään Arendt ei puhunut aikansa feminististen liikkeiden puolesta eikä kuulunut mihinkään feministiseen järjestöön. Tästä huolimatta Arendtin tuotantoa on jo neljän vuosikymmenen ajan tutkittu nimenomaan feministisestä näkökulmasta. Väitöskirjassani analysoin systemaattisesti Arendtin filosofian herättämää feminististä keskustelua.…

▼ Engaging men in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has implications for gender equality and sustainable development. Promoting vasectomy can foster more equitable gender relations between partners, but research on this topic is extremely limited. My research shows that, in Kiribati, vasectomy uptake is both a cause and a consequence of gender equitable relationships, but connections are complex. Vasectomy uptake can also result from, and lead to, inequitable behaviours. Links between vasectomy uptake and gender relations among couples in South Tarawa, Kiribati were explored using a qualitative case study informed by feminist theory and principles from indigenous methodologies. Semi-structured informal interviews were held with five vasectomised I-Kiribati men and their wives, interviewed as a couple and individually. Comparative analysis was undertaken with two same-sex focus group discussions, one with non-vasectomised men and the other with their wives; and with six key informant interviews. Information generated was analysed thematically and further triangulated with international and Kiribati studies. Among the participant-couples, vasectomy decision-making seemed equitable, consistent with other household decision-making. Notably, the wives were actively involved in their husbands’ decision to be vasectomised. Husbands were often prompted by egalitarian concerns. However, vasectomised men are in the minority and challenge gender normative behaviour. Family planning was widely viewed as women’s responsibility. Most participants felt vasectomy created new opportunities that empowered women. Yet, some participants knew of men who used their vasectomies to control their wives’ sexual and reproductive agency, and to enable extramarital relationships. Although vasectomy freed women from contraceptive responsibility, significant shifts in the gender division of labour did not follow, but exceptions existed. This research shows that gender equity is likely to be a pre-condition of vasectomy, and that vasectomy can lead to equitable outcomes. Moreover, gender relations within and among couples were multifaceted and contradictions existed. My research makes a strong case for why heterosexual men should be central to gender and development.

▼ The assignment of grammatical gender in German is a notoriously problematic phenomenon due to the apparent opacity of the gender assignment system (e.g. Comrie 1999: 461). Various models of German gender assignment have been proposed (e.g. Spitz 1965, Köpcke 1982, Corbett 1991, Wegener 1995), but none of these is able to account for all of the German data. This thesis investigates a relatively under-explored, recent approach to German gender assignment in the form of Optimal Gender Assignment Theory (OGAT), proposed by Rice (2006). Using the framework of Optimality Theory, OGAT claims that the form and meaning of a noun are of equal importance with respect to its gender. This is formally represented by the crucial equal ranking of all gender assignment constraints in a block of gender features, which is in turn ranked above a default markedness hierarchy *NEUTER » *FEMININE » *MASCULINE, which is based on category size. A key weakness of OGAT is that it does not specify what constitutes a valid gender features constraint. This means that, in theory, any constraint can be proposed ad hoc to ensure that an OGAT analysis yields the correct result. In order to prevent any constraints based on ‘postfactum rationalisations’ (Comrie 1999: 461) from being included in the investigation, the gender features constraints which have been proposed in the literature for German are assessed according to six criteria suggested by Enger (2009), which seek to determine whether there is independent evidence for a gender features constraint. Using an independently-verified constraint set, OGAT is then tested on a sample of 592 nouns systematically selected from the Duden Rechtschreibung. The results indicate that OGAT is relatively successful in its predictions when compared to other approaches but that it cannot account fully for the sample data. Accordingly, a revised version of the theory is proposed (OGAT II), which involves the ranking of certain gender features constraints. It is found that OGAT II is able to account for the genders of around 95% of nouns in the sample. A number of specific aspects of OGAT II are then tested by means of an experiment in which native German speakers are required to assign genders to 26 pseudo-nouns. The results suggest that OGAT II comes the closest of the systems discussed in the literature to modelling how native speakers assign gender in German.

▼ The assignment of grammatical gender in German is a notoriously problematic phenomenon due to the apparent opacity of the gender assignment system (e.g. Comrie 1999: 461). Various models of German gender assignment have been proposed (e.g. Spitz 1965, Köpcke 1982, Corbett 1991, Wegener 1995), but none of these is able to account for all of the German data. This thesis investigates a relatively under-explored, recent approach to German gender assignment in the form of Optimal Gender Assignment Theory (OGAT), proposed by Rice (2006). Using the framework of Optimality Theory, OGAT claims that the form and meaning of a noun are of equal importance with respect to its gender. This is formally represented by the crucial equal ranking of all gender assignment constraints in a block of gender features, which is in turn ranked above a default markedness hierarchy *NEUTER » *FEMININE » *MASCULINE, which is based on category size. A key weakness of OGAT is that it does not specify what constitutes a valid gender features constraint. This means that, in theory, any constraint can be proposed ad hoc to ensure that an OGAT analysis yields the correct result. In order to prevent any constraints based on 'postfactum rationalisations' (Comrie 1999: 461) from being included in the investigation, the gender features constraints which have been proposed in the literature for German are assessed according to six criteria suggested by Enger (2009), which seek to determine whether there is independent evidence for a gender features constraint. Using an independently-verified constraint set, OGAT is then tested on a sample of 592 nouns systematically selected from the Duden Rechtschreibung. The results indicate that OGAT is relatively successful in its predictions when compared to other approaches but that it cannot account fully for the sample data. Accordingly, a revised version of the theory is proposed (OGAT II), which involves the ranking of certain gender features constraints. It is found that OGAT II is able to account for the genders of around 95% of nouns in the sample. A number of specific aspects of OGAT II are then tested by means of an experiment in which native German speakers are required to assign genders to 26 pseudo-nouns. The results suggest that OGAT II comes the closest of the systems discussed in the literature to modelling how native speakers assign gender in German.
