- Description
- In this anniversary edition to celebrate the 35th jubilee of LOVA the focus is on etnographies of gender and the body. Irma Beusink presented a paper at he LOVA conference in Amsterdam, July 2014, using metaphors to analyze differences within feminisms and their translations into the governmental policies and political statements of indigenous women's organizations in Bolivia. Breast cancer is the second most frequent cancer in the world and a mastectomy is the main method of treatment. Mastectomized women must reconstruct the way that they express their femininity and the symbols that identify them. In El Salvador significant changes in social life have occurred due to the levels of violence that the maras, or transnational street gangs, have generated. How adolescent women living in mara-controlled territories associate themselves with the maras and how their associations impact their sexuality and life strategy choices are discussed by Edith Yesenia Pena Sánches en Mónica Paola Zúniga Escobar. Authors describe the corporeality of an ethnographic view of morbid obesity, technoscience and identity by analyzing the story of a woman with morbid obesity in Mexico City. Anorexia nervosa as a health problem shows a prevalence of 0.5 to 5% in Mexico and it is mainly shown in adolescent and young adult women. In his paper Matthew W Maycock shows certain forms of competition and the denial of pain, both of which are integral to being rickshaw drivers, in light of their implications for masculine bodies and performances. The last 10 years has seen an increase in traditional bride abduction (ukuthwala) cases in South Africa. Recent cases share the common element of sexual violence of under-aged girls by much older men, or even groups of men. Diana Dubrovska takes a look at female sex tourism in the Caribbean and Latin America. In her paper Heather Tucker considers the contemporary Euro-American and European interests and outrage over the 'barbarity' of anti-homosexuality legislation in countries in Africa. Ourania Tsiakalou pays attention to the massive detentions of trans women that took place in Greece as well as some other instances of transphobia, as it was presented in the media and in the public sphere.

- Description
- This special section is based on a series of reading seminars, workshops and lectures on the concept of intersectionality held at the VUB Centre of Expertise on Gender, Diversity, and Intersectionality (RHEA) in 2013 and 2014. The focus of these events was on the question of whether and in what way, the concept of intersectionality should inform both policy-oriented research and equality laws and policies. Myra Marx Ferree claims that the travel of intersectionality from the highly racialized context of the United States to the European context implies that feminist scholars should be much more attentive to their proper white (and other) privileges. Power, she says, is a relationship, and intersectionality can therefore only be understood in a dynamic fashion: relations and power struggles - with varying and simultaneous winners and losers - need to put in place stable categories and antipodal positions. Helma Lutz conceives of intersectionality as a heuristic device or a method that allows for uncobring both visible and invisible strands of inequality and processes that underpin privilege and disadvantage. Mieke Verloo addresses the issue of whether positive action is still desirable. By highlighting the impact of positive actions on multiple intersectional categories Verloo shows that specific effects is needed to establish equality. Policy-makers need to be very careful in defining intersectional categories, since they are always contextualized. Dagmar Schiek discusses the field of the feminist and intersectional battle: the EU non-discrimination law. These are some of the essays and articles that shows a wide variety of methods and analyse a diverse set of country cases and intersecting identiy markers and show that intersectionality is a fruitful research area feeding into policy and law-making.

- Description
- Studies focusing exclusively on the connection between Arab Muslim women's educational pursuits and their gender perceptions, and how their gender perceptions may have changed as a result of living in two different cultures, are rarely conducted. Additionally, the factors that may influence an Arab Muslim woman's educational pursuits seem seldom investigated. This article is highlighting some factors that may influence Arab Muslim women's gender perceptions. In researching Arab Muslim women's experiences, I considered the diversity and multiplicity of their race, ethnicity, class, and experience. How Arab Muslim women construct the gender aspect of their identities and how these identities may have changed or shifted as a result of living in Canada and attending Canadian educational institutions is explored. The cultural and religious reproduction of gender socialization is a major part of the analysis in this article.

- Description
- This article investigates how courtrooms and legal processes recognize, react to, and thereby create 'cultural' information. Drawing on contemporary Canadian examples and the US experience with 'cultural defences' to criminal charges, the author considers not so much how courts should react to cultural practices but rather the problems with the way we identify these practices in the first place. This 'identification' process is often a form of cultural racism and is sometimes masked as an effort at cultural sensitivity. Not only is cultural information incompletely collected and imperfectly understood, it also tends to be considered only against the unarticulated, unexamined norm of North American mainstream culture. egal institutions produce distorted views of 'Other' cultures as well as an intriguing shadow picture of mainstream culture-both of which reveal a deeply held belief in the mainstream tradition's superiority. This process can be particularly harmful for women from non-mainstream cultures. Not only does it construct their own cultural traditions as being dangerously misogynist, it also refuses to recognize those elements of mainstream culture that subordinate and endanger women. The conclusion considers the range and complexity of the challenges that judges, litigators, litigants, and communities face in trying to avoid a simplistic approach to culture, stressing the need for more careful approaches to cultural sensitivity training in judicial education and litigation strategy.
