- Description
- 'This paper discusses some of these contemporary issues in framing the female body in relation to non-normative sexuality within the SL platform. It takes the form of a comparison of two SL female-only spaces (Eden and Greek Gold) and, in doing so, elucidates some of the key issues in the representation of the female body as both gendered and sexual. The site of Eden largely represents the female body as feminine and often hyper-feminised, whilst the space of Greek Gold shows far greater variance in the depictions of the female body over a spectrum from feminine to masculine. Furthermore, the body as sexual subject is shown as understood principally in relation to heterosexuality and the male body: as discussed in relation to Greek Gold, even subversive representations are often understood through the gender binary and hetero-sexuality. What both sites ultimately demonstrate is a continued perseverance to understand the female, particularly the sexually non-normative body, as defined through hetero-patriarchal relations of power, agency and desire.'

- Description
- 'This article builds on the growing body of work by demonstrating how the neoliberal interpretation of choice is employed to put forward a scientific rationale for the use of extended-cycle oral contraception (ECOC) for the purpose of menstrual suppression. It draws on comparative discourse analysis of two fields involved in the debates about menstrual suppression, biomedicine and women’s narratives following the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first ECOC in 2003.'

- Description
- The reconstruction of both the killing and the marital history of a Turkish Muslim couple is illustrative of the cultural discourse on violence against women (VAW) among Muslim minorities that is currently evolving in a multi-cultural society that is facing increasingly discriminatory attitudes towards Muslims. Stereotypical images of “culturally” based violence are growing in popularity and contribute to the discursive construction of Muslim minorities as particularly violent, especially towards women, and notably as more violent than the native Dutch. This paper critically addresses how this tendency is playing out in Dutch research.
