- Description
- This publication introduces readers to some of the dramatic shifts that have taken place in Chinese sexual behaviours and attitudes, and public discussions of sex, since the 1980s. The book explores what it means to talk about ‘sex’ in present-day China, where sex and sexuality are more and more visible in everyday life. The authors situate China’s changing sexual culture, and how it is governed, in the socio-political history of the People’s Republic of China. Chapters focus on sex studies, marriage and family planning, youth and sex(iness), gay, lesbian and queer discourses and identities, commercial sex: and HIV/AIDS.

- Description
- This article explores the relationship between East Timorese women's activism and the international women's movement within the context of East Timor's struggle for independence from Indonesian military occupation (1975-1999). It examines the experiences and activism of several diaspore East Timorese women in international circles that converged around feminist solidarity and women's human rights in the 1980s and 1990s. The article argues that these women played an important, yet underappreciated role in East Timor's struggle for national self-determination.

- Description
- In this report, supported by Cartier Philanthropy, ICRW provides a historical overview of the nearly 40-year-old male engagement field, as well as guidance for stakeholders on how to support the funding, design, and implementation of programming that engages men and boys in transforming gender norms. The insights they offer are drawn from published and grey literature, key informant interviews, and a convening of global experts on male engagement programming for gender equity and women’s empowerment. Specifically, this report details approaches, challenges, and best practices for working with men to achieve gender equity in six sectors: violence against women and girls, health, economic empowerment, care work and fatherhood, land rights and agriculture, and political participation.

- Description
- The explosion in publishing by women in Mexico since the 1980s is called the 'boom feminino'. Many of the writers take an ambivalent position on processes of modernisation. This book uses a variety of critical approaches within a feminist framework to examine ambivalent positions of the Mexican authors and the persons or characters they describe. It also examines aspects of other players in the literary process like publishing houses, critics and readers. The author offers close readings of work by Silvia Molina, Sara Sefchovich, Susana Págano, Brianda Domecq, Guadelupe Loaeza and Rosamaría Roffiel and considers the reaction to and reception of best-selling author Angeles Mastretta.

- Description
- Throughout the Western world, people have come to believe that general dissatisfaction can be relieved by some change in their bodies. Here Susie Orbach explains the origins of this condition, and examines its implications. Challenging the Freudian view that bodily disorders originate and progress in the mind, she argues that we should look at self-mutilation, obesity, anorexia, and plastic surgery on their own terms, through a reading of the body itself. Incorporating the latest research from neuropsychology, as well as case studies from her own practice, she traces many of these fixations back to the relationship between mothers and babies, to anxieties that are transferred unconsciously. She reveals how vulnerable our bodies are, how susceptible to every kind of negative stimulus--from a nursing infant sensing a mother's discomfort to a grown man or woman feeling inadequate because of a model on a billboard. .In the past several decades, a globalized media has overwhelmed us with images of an idealized, westernized body, and conditioned us to see any exception to that ideal as a problem. The body has become an object, a site of production and commerce in and of itself. Instead of our bodies making things, we now make our bodies. Orbach reveals the true dimensions of the crisis, and points the way toward healing and acceptance.
