- 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
- Violent extremism has a gender dimension that produces disproportionate effects on women. It forms a leading challenge to realizing sustainable peace globally. This research volume focuses on the relation between gender identity and violent extremism in South and South-East Asia. The first chapter analyzes militarized masculinities in the southern Philippines to illustrate how notions of masculinity and femininity operate in local settings and how they are linked to notions of violence. The second chapter examines how gender identities are portrayed in the myths and stories of violent extremist groups from Indonesia and the Philippines. In the third contribution, the author explores the relationship between violent extremism and domestic violence against women, through interviews with communities in rural Bangladesh. The final chapter examines the relationship between gender inequality, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and the presence of terrorist groups.

- Description
- History of the UK Women's Liberation Movement. Oral history testimonies power the work, tracing the arc of a feminist life from 1950s girlhoods to late life activism today. The author uses oral history as creative method, making significant use of ‘Sisterhood and After: The Women's Liberation Oral History Project’ to animate still-unresolved controversies of race, class, sexuality, disability, and feminist identity. She provides insight into iconic actions including the Miss World Protest, the fight to protect abortion rights, and the peace protest at Greenham Common. She also explores men's violence and today's demands for trans-liberation as areas of continuing feminist concern.

- Description
- Aan de hand van foto’s en interviews met leden van verschillende generaties, schetst deze studie een beeld van de manier waarop Marokkaanse migranten in Nederland met kleding omgingen tussen 1965 en 2010. Dat kleedgedrag blijkt veel te zeggen over hun integratie, de manier waarop zij zich identificeren en hun maatschappelijke positie. De context waarin zij bepaalde kleding dragen speelt een belangrijke rol, maar ook sekserollen, leeftijd, herkomstgebied en een veranderend modeaanbod. De veelbesproken kleding van moslimmigranten wordt in een historisch kader geplaatst. Marokkaanse jongeren verbazen zich over het vrije kleedgedrag van hun ouders in de jaren zestig en zeventig. Zelf zijn ze zeer bewust bezig met hun kleding en hechten daarbij aan de voorschriften die hun godsdienst stelt. Verschillen hun kledingkeuzes wezenlijk van die van hun ouders? Aan de hand van foto’s, en interviews met leden van de verschillende generaties, schetst deze studie een beeld van de ontwikkeling van het kleedgedrag van Marokkaanse migranten in Nederland in de periode 1965-2010.

- 'This dissertation employs the avatar, the virtual character in online games, as an exploration object: it upholds the perspective of embodiment: it scrutinizes the concepts of the body, sex, and gender, in online gaming: it aims to to find out more about the changes in the issue of identification in the information era, and unifies its finding through the prism of synchronicity.'

- Description
- '78 states worldwide continue to criminalise same-sex sexual behaviour, and due to the legal legacies of the British Empire, 42 of these – more than half – are in the Commonwealth of Nations. Lately many states have seen the emergence of new sexual nationalisms, leading to increased enforcement of colonial sodomy laws against men, new criminalisations of sex between women and discrimination against transgender people. This publication challenges these developments as the first publication to focus on experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) and all non-heterosexual people in the Commonwealth and offers the most internationally extensive analysis to date of the global struggle for decriminalisation of same-sex sexual behaviour and relationships.'
